Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²³ And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

²⁴ And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.

²⁵ Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

²⁶ He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,

²⁷ And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas -- winged fowl,

²⁸ And causeth [it] to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.

²⁹ And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.

⁴³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This [is] a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;

⁴⁴ and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him -- then he doth eat of it;

⁴⁵ a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;

⁴⁶ in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;

⁴⁷ all the company of Israel do keep it.

⁴⁸ `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;

⁴⁹ one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'

⁵⁰ And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

⁵¹ And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.

13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.'

²⁷ so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

²⁸ and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

²⁹ for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

³⁰ Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

³³ so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

³⁴ and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
