TETH
65 O LORD, You have dealt graciously with Your servant, according to Your Word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I have believed Your Commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep Your Word.
68 You are good and gracious; teach me Your Statutes.
69 The proud have imagined a lie against me, but I will keep Your Precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is fat as grease; but my delight is in Your Law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your Statutes.
72 The Law of Your Mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
16 Furthermore, the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came before the LORD and died.
2 And the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron, your brother, so that he does not come just at any time into the Holy Place, within the Veil, before the Mercy Seat, which is upon the Ark. So that he does not die. For I will appear in the cloud, upon the Mercy Seat.
3 “After this manner shall Aaron come into the Holy Place: 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 trousers upon his flesh, and shall be wrapped with a linen girdle, and shall cover his head with a linen miter. These are the Holy Garments. Therefore, he shall wash his flesh in water when he puts them on.
5 “And he shall take two male goats from the Congregation of the children of Israel, for a Sin Offering, and a ram for a Burnt Offering.
20 “When he has finished 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 upon the head of the goat. And he shall send him away (by the hand of a man appointed) into the wilderness.
22 “So, the goat shall bear all their iniquities upon him, into the land that is not inhabited. And he shall release the goat into the wilderness.
23 “Afterward, Aaron shall come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation and take off the linen clothes, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and leave them there.
24 “He shall also wash his flesh with water in the Holy Place, and put on his own clothing, 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 who carried forth the goat (the Scapegoat) shall wash his clothes and wash his flesh in water. And after that he shall come into the camp.
27 “Also, someone shall carry the bullock for the Burnt Offering and the goat for the Sin Offering outside the camp (whose blood was brought to make a reconciliation in the Holy Place), to be burnt in the fire with their skins and with their flesh and with their dung.
28 “And he who burns them shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
18 And in the morning, as He returned into the city, He was hungry.
19 And seeing a fig tree on the way, He came to it. And finding nothing on it but leaves, He said to it, “May fruit never grow on you again.” And immediately the fig tree withered.
20 And when His disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How quickly that fig tree withered!”
21 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you shall not only do this to the fig tree, but it shall also be done if you say to this mountain, ‘Take yourself away, and cast yourself into the sea’.
22 “And whatever you shall ask in prayer - if you believe - you shall receive it.”
