Old/New Testament
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “If anyone sins and commits a trespass against the LORD by lying to his neighbor about that which was given to him to keep, or that which was entrusted to him. Or if he robs or oppresses his neighbor by violence
3 “or has found that which was lost and denies it and swears falsely about any of these things that a man does in which he sins—
4 “when, I say, he thus sins and trespasses—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 to him to keep or the lost thing which he found
5 “or for whatever he has sworn falsely. He shall both restore it in the whole sum and shall add a fifth more to it and give it to him to whom it pertains on the same day that he offers for his trespass.
6 “Also, for his trespass, he shall bring to the LORD a ram without blemish, out of the flock (in your estimation worth two shekels) for a Trespass Offering to the Priest.
7 “And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD, and it shall be forgiven him, whatever thing he has done and trespassed in.”
8 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the Law of the Burnt Offering, (it is the Burnt Offering because it burns upon the Altar all night, until morning, and the fire burns on the Altar).
10 ‘And the Priest shall put on his linen garment and shall put on his linen trousers upon his flesh and take away the ashes when the fire has consumed the Burnt Offering upon the Altar. And he shall put them beside the Altar.
11 ‘Afterward, he shall take off his garments and put on other clothes and carry the ashes forth, outside the camp, to a clean place.
12 ‘But the fire upon the Altar shall burn on it and never be put out. Therefore, the Priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the Burnt Offering in order upon it. And he shall burn the fat of the Peace Offerings on it.
13 ‘The fire shall always burn upon the Altar, never going out.
14 ‘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 take from it a handful of fine flour from the Meat Offering and from the oil, and all the incense which is upon the Meat Offering, and shall burn it upon the Altar, for a sweet savor, a memorial therefore to the LORD.
16 ‘But the rest of it, Aaron and his sons shall 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 baked with leaven. I have given it for their portion of My offering, made by fire. It is as the Sin Offering and 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. Whatever touches them shall be holy.’”
19 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons which they shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, for a perpetual Meat Offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night.
21 “It shall be made with oil, in the frying pan. You shall bring it fried and shall offer the baked pieces of the Meat Offering for a sweet savor to the LORD.
22 “And the Priest among his sons, who is anointed in his place, 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
25 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and say, ‘This is the Law of the Sin Offering: In the place where the Burnt Offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the LORD. It is most holy.
26 ‘The Priest who offers this Sin Offering shall eat it. It shall be eaten in the Holy Place, in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
27 ‘Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy. And when its blood drops upon a garment, you shall wash that upon which it dropped in the Holy Place.
28 ‘Also, the earthen pot in which it is boiled shall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and washed with water.
29 ‘All the males among the priests shall eat of it. It is most holy.
30 ‘But no sin offering whose blood is brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to make reconciliation in the Holy Place, shall be eaten. Rather, it shall be burnt with fire.’
7 ‘Likewise, this is the Law of the Trespass Offering. It is Most Holy.
2 ‘In the place where they kill the Burnt Offering shall they kill the Trespass Offering. And he shall sprinkle its blood all around, upon the Altar.
3 ‘Also, he shall offer all its fat, the rump, and the fat that covers the entrails.
4 ‘Afterward, he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them and upon the flanks, and the fatty lobe on the liver, with the kidneys.
5 ‘Then, the priest shall burn them upon the Altar, for an offering made by fire to the LORD. This is a Trespass Offering.
6 ‘All the males among the priests shall eat of it. It shall be eaten in the Holy Place. It is Most Holy.
7 ‘As is the Sin Offering, so is the Trespass Offering. One law serves for both. That with which the priest shall make atonement shall be his.
8 ‘Also, the priest who offers any man’s Burnt Offering shall keep the skin of the Burnt Offering which he has 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 who offers it.
10 ‘And every Meat Offering, whether mingled with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron (to all alike).
11 ‘Furthermore, this is the Law of the Peace Offerings which he shall offer to the LORD.
12 ‘If he offers it to 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 his offering with cakes of leavened bread, for his Peace Offerings, to give thanks.
14 ‘And from all the sacrifice he shall offer one cake for a Heave Offering to the LORD. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkled the blood of the Peace Offerings.
15 ‘Also, the flesh of the Peace Offerings shall be eaten the same day that it is offered, for thanksgiving. He shall leave nothing of it until the morning.
16 ‘But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a Free Offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice. And so, the residue of it shall be eaten in the morning.
17 ‘But however much of the offered flesh remains until the third day shall be burnt with fire.
18 ‘For if any of the flesh of his Peace Offerings is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be credited to him. But it shall be an abomination. Therefore, the person who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 ‘Also, the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten but burnt with fire. But all of this flesh that is clean shall be eaten.
20 ‘But if anyone eats of the flesh of the Peace Offerings that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
21 ‘Moreover, when anyone touches any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or of an unclean beast, or of any filthy abomination, and eats of the flesh of the Peace Offerings which belong to the LORD, even that person shall be cut off from his people.’”
22 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘You shall eat no fat of oxen, nor of sheep, nor of goats.
24 ‘However, the fat of the wild beast which has died naturally, and the fat of that which is torn by other wild beasts, may be used in other ways. But you shall not eat of it.
25 ‘For whoever eats the fat of the beast with which you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.
26 ‘Nor shall you eat any blood, either of bird or of beast, in all your dwellings.
27 ‘Every person who eats any blood, the same person shall be cut off from his people.’”
28 And the LORD talked with Moses, saying,
29 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘He who offers his p Peace Offerings to the LORD shall bring his gift to the LORD from his Peace Offerings.
30 ‘His hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be 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 you shall give the right shoulder to the priest for a Heave Offering, from your Peace Offerings.
33 ‘The same one who offers 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) I have taken from the children of Israel, from their Peace Offerings, and have given them to Aaron the Priest and to his sons, by a statute, forever, from among the children of Israel.’”
35 This is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, concerning the offerings of the LORD, made by fire, on the day when he presented them to serve in the priest’s office to the LORD,
36 which the LORD commanded to give them on the day that He anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute, forever, in their generations.
37 This is the Law of the Burnt Offering, of the Meat Offering, and of the Sin Offering, and of the Trespass Offering, and of the consecrations, and of the Peace Offerings,
38 which the LORD commanded Moses on the mount Sinai, when He commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
25 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven shall be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and 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 flasks with their lamps.
5 “Now, while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight there was a cry made, ‘Behold, the bridegroom comes! 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 some of your oil. For our lamps are out.’
9 “But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, for there will not be enough for us and you. Rather, go to the market and buy some for yourselves.
10 “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And those who were ready went in with him to the wedding. And the gate was shut.
11 “Afterwards the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord! Lord! Open up for us!’
12 “But he answered, and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 “Therefore, watch. For you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come.
14 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is as a man who, going into a strange country, called his servants and handed over his goods to them.
15 “And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, each according to his own ability. And immediately he left home.
16 “Then the one who had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained another five talents.
17 “Likewise also, the one who received two, gained another two.
18 “But the one who received the one, went and buried it in the earth, and hid his master’s money.
19 “But after a long season, the master of those servants came and settled with them.
20 “Then the one who had received five talents came, and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five more talents with them.’
21 “Then his master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in little. I will make you ruler over much. Enter into your master’s joy.’
22 “Also, the one who had received two talents came, and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents more.’
23 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in little. I will make you ruler over much. Enter into your master’s joy.’
24 “Then the one who had received the one talent came, and said, ‘Master, I knew that you were a hard man, who reaps where you do not sow, and gathers where you do not scatter.
25 ‘Therefore, I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
26 “And his master answered, and said to him, ‘You evil and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.
27 “‘Therefore, you ought to have put my money in the bank. And then at my coming I would have received my own with interest.
28 “‘Therefore, take the talent from him and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 “‘For to everyone who has, it shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from the one who has not, even that he has shall be taken away.
30 “‘Therefore, cast that unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
