Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Who May Dwell on Your Holy Mountain?
A Psalm of David.
15 O Yahweh, who may [a]sojourn (A)in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your (B)holy mountain?
2 He who (C)walks blamelessly, and works righteousness,
And (D)speaks truth in his heart.
3 He (E)does not slander [b]with his tongue,
Nor (F)does evil to his neighbor,
Nor (G)takes up a reproach against his friend;
4 In [c]whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But [d]who (H)honors those who fear Yahweh;
He (I)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He (J)does not put out his money [e]at interest,
Nor (K)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
(L)He who does these things will never be shaken.
8 And Moses made haste [a](A)to bow low toward the earth and worship. 9 And he said, “(B)If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though [b](C)they are a stiff-necked people, and (D)pardon our iniquity and our sin, and (E)take us as Your own inheritance.”
Yahweh Cuts a Covenant with Israel
10 Then [c]God said, “Behold, (F)I am going to cut a covenant. Before all your people (G)I will do wondrous deeds which have not been created in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people [d]among whom you live will see the working of Yahweh, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to do with you.
11 “[e]Be sure to keep what I am commanding you this day: behold, (H)I am going to drive out the Amorite before you, and the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 12 (I)Beware lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst. 13 (J)But rather, you are to tear down their altars and shatter their sacred pillars and cut down their [f](K)Asherim 14 —for (L)you shall not worship any other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— 15 lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and (M)sacrifice to their gods, and one of them (N)invite you [g]to eat of his sacrifice, 16 and (O)you take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods. 17 (P)You shall make for yourself no molten gods.
18 “You shall keep (Q)the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For (R)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, which I commanded you, at the appointed time in the (S)month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 “(T)The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, even of all your male livestock, the first offspring from [h]cattle and sheep. 20 (U)And you shall redeem with a lamb the [i]first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem (V)all the firstborn of your sons. [j](W)None shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21 “You shall work (X)six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. 22 And you shall celebrate (Y)the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 (Z)Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel. 24 For I will (AA)dispossess nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before Yahweh your God.
25 “(AB)You shall not [k]offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, (AC)and the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover shall not [l]be left over until morning.
26 “You shall bring (AD)the very first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of Yahweh your God.
“You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “(AE)Write [m]down these words, for in accordance with these words I have cut (AF)a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 So he was there with Yahweh (AG)forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And [n](AH)he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, (AI)the Ten [o]Commandments.
Jesus Before Pilate
28 (A)Then they *led Jesus from (B)Caiaphas into (C)the [a]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into (D)the [b]Praetorium so that (E)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 (F)Therefore Pilate went out to them and *said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.” 31 So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32 in order that (G)the word of Jesus which He spoke would be fulfilled, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.
