Old/New Testament
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, saying,
3 “Whoever of the House of Israel kills a bullock, or lamb, or goat inside the camp, or kills it outside of the camp,
4 “and does not bring it to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation to offer an offering to the LORD before the Tabernacle of the LORD, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. Therefore, that man shall be cut off from among his people.
5 “Therefore, the children of Israel shall bring their offerings which they would have offered abroad in the field (via the Priest) and present them to the LORD at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offer them for Peace Offerings to the LORD.
6 “Then the Priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the Altar of the LORD, before the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor to the LORD.
7 “And no more shall they offer their offerings to demons, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be an Ordinance to them forever, in their generations.”’”
8 “Also, you shall say to them, ‘Whoever of the House of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, offers a Burnt Offering or Sacrifice,
9 ‘and does not bring it to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation to offer it to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 ‘Likewise, whoever of the House of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, eats any blood, I will set My Face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.
11 ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood. And I have given it to you to offer upon the Altar, to make an atonement for your souls. For this blood shall make an atonement for the soul.
12 ‘Therefore, I said to the children of Israel, “None of you shall eat blood. Nor shall the stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.
13 “Moreover, whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, takes by hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.
14 “For the life of all flesh is its blood. It is as his life.” Therefore, I said to the children of Israel, “You shall eat the blood of no flesh. For the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.
15 “And every person who eats that which dies naturally or that which is torn by beasts, whether it be one of the same country or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes and wash himself in water and be unclean until the evening. Afterward he shall be clean.
16 “But if he washes neither them nor his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.”’”
18 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.
3 ‘You shall not do as they do in of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt. And you shall not do after the manner of the land of Canaan, where I will bring you, nor walk in their ordinances.
4 ‘Do after My Judgments. And keep My Ordinances, to walk therein. I am the LORD your God.
5 ‘Therefore, you shall keep My statutes and My judgments. Which, if a man does, he shall then live in them. I am the LORD.
6 ‘No one shall come near any of the kindred of his flesh, to uncover her nakedness. I am the LORD.
7 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
9 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother. Whether she is born at home or born outside the home. You shall not uncover their nakedness.
10 ‘The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, you shall not, I say, uncover their nakedness. For it is your nakedness.
11 ‘The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of your father (she is your sister) you shalt not, I say, uncover her nakedness.
12 ‘You shall not uncover the shame of your father’s sister. She is your father’s kinswoman.
13 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s kinswoman.
14 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not go in to his wife. She is your aunt.
15 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
17 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of the wife and of her daughter. Nor shall you take her son’s daughter, nor her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are kinsfolk. It is wickedness.
18 ‘Also, you shall not take a wife with her sister (during her life), to be her rival in uncovering her nakedness upon her.
19 ‘You shall not also go to a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is isolated for her impurity.
20 ‘Moreover, you shall not give yourself to your neighbor’s wife by carnal copulation, to be defiled with her.
21 ‘Also, you shall not give your children as an offering to Molech. Nor shall you defile the Name of your God. I am the LORD.
22 ‘You shall not lie with the male as one lies with a woman. It is abomination.
23 ‘Also, you shall not lie with any beast, to be defiled with it. Nor shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down with it. It is abomination.
24 ‘You shall not defile yourselves in any of these things. For in all these the Nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you.
25 ‘And the land is defiled. Therefore, I will visit its wickedness upon it, and the land shall vomit out her inhabitants.
26 ‘Therefore, you shall keep My Ordinances and My Judgments and commit none of these abominations (he who is of the same country, as well as the stranger who sojourns among you).
27 ‘For the men of the land have done all these abominations which were before you. And the land is defiled.
28 ‘And shall not the land spew you out if you defile it, as it spewed out the people who were before you?
29 ‘For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, the people that do shall be cut off from among their people.
30 ‘Therefore, you shall keep My Ordinances, so that you do not do any of the abominable customs which have been done before you, and so that you do not defile yourselves therein. I am the LORD your God.’”
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered the whole band around Him.
28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.
29 And they weaved together a crown of thorns, and put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed their knees before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 And they spat on Him; and took a reed and struck Him on the head.
31 Thus, after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, and put His own clothes back on Him. And they led Him away to crucify Him.
32 And as they came out, they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon. They compelled him to bear His cross.
33 And when they came to the place called Golgotha (that is to say, ‘Place of a Skull’)
34 They gave Him vinegar to drink, mixed with bitter herbs. And when He had tasted of it, He would not drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, and cast lots, so that which was spoken by the Prophet might be fulfilled, “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.”
36 And they sat and watched Him there.
37 They also wrote His charge over His head, ‘THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
38 And there were two thieves crucified with Him - one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And those who passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,
40 and saying, “You who destroy the Temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
41 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking Him with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said,
42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him!
43 He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him! For He said, I am the Son of God!”
44 The thieves who were crucified with Him also reviled Him.
45 Now there was darkness over all the land, from the sixth hour to the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani!?”, which means, “My God, my God. Why have You forsaken Me?”
47 And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This Man calls Elijah!”
48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink.
49 Others said, “Let Him be! Let us see if Elijah will come and save Him!”
50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice; and gave up the ghost.
