15 LORD, who shall dwell in Your Tabernacle? Who shall rest on Your Holy Mountain?

² He who walks uprightly and works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart;

³ he who does not slander with his tongue, nor do evil to his neighbor, nor receive a false report against his neighbor;

⁴ in whose eyes a vile person is despised; but honors those who fear the LORD. He who swears to his own injury yet does not change.

²⁰ And Pharaoh gave men a commandment concerning him; and they sent him forth and his wife and all that he had.

5 For every High Priest is taken from among man (and is ordained for man, in things pertaining to God), so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
