TETH
65 O Lord, thou hast dealt [a]graciously with thy servant, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was [b]afflicted, I went astray: but now I keep thy word.
68 Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 [c]Their heart is fat as grease, but my delight is in thy Law.
71 It is [d]good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes.
72 The Law of thy mouth is better unto me, than thousands of gold and silver.
16 2 The Priest might not at all times come into the most holy place. 8 The scapegoat. 14 The purging of the Sanctuary. 17 The cleansing of the Tabernacle. 21 The Priest confesseth the sins of the people. 29 The feast of cleansing sins.
1 Furthermore the Lord spake unto (A)Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came to offer before the Lord, and died:
2 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, (B)that he come not at [a]all times into the holy place within the veil, before the Mercy seat, which is upon the Ark, that he die not, for I will appear in the cloud upon the Mercy seat.
3 After this sort shall Aaron come into the Holy place: even with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and shall have linen breeches upon his [b]flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and shall cover his head with a linen miter, these are the holy garments: therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, when he doth put them on.
5 And he shall take of the Congregation of the children of Israel, two he goats for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
20 ¶ When he hath made an end of purging the Holy place, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Altar, then he shall bring the live goat:
21 And Aaron shall put both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their trespasses in all their sins, putting them [a]upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away (by the hand of a man appointed) into the wilderness.
22 So the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities into [b]the land that is not inhabited, and he shall let the goat go into the wilderness.
23 After, Aaron shall come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and put off the linen clothes, which he put on when he went into the Holy place, and leave them there.
24 He shall wash also his flesh with water in [c]the holy place, and put on his own raiment, and come out, and make his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
25 Also the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
26 And he that carried forth the goat called the Scapegoat, shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and after that shall come into the host.
27 Also the bullock for the burnt offering, and the goat for the sin offering (whose blood was brought to make a reconciliation in the Holy place) shall one (A)carry out without the host to be burnt in the fire, with their skins, and with their flesh, and with their dung.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and afterward come into the host.
18 [a]And (A)in the morning, as he returned into the city, he was hungry.
19 And seeing a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, Never fruit grow on thee henceforward. And anon the fig tree withered.
20 And when his disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered!
21 [b]And Jesus answered and said unto them, (B)Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and [c]doubt not, ye shall not only do that, which I have done to the fig tree, but also if ye say unto this mountain, Take thyself away, and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
22 (C)And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, if ye believe, ye shall receive it.
