Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
23 He gave a command to the clouds above
and opened the doors of heaven.(A)
24 He rained manna for them to eat;
He gave them grain from heaven.(B)
25 People[a] ate the bread of angels.[b]
He sent them an abundant supply of food.(C)
26 He made the east wind blow in the skies
and drove the south wind by His might.(D)
27 He rained meat on them like dust,
and winged birds like the sand of the seas.
28 He made them fall in His camp,
all around His tent.[c][d](E)
29 They ate and were completely satisfied,
for He gave them what they craved.(F)
Passover Instruction
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner may eat it. 44 But any slave a man has purchased may eat it, after you have circumcised him. 45 A temporary resident or hired hand may not eat the Passover.(A) 46 It is to be eaten in one house. You may not take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of its bones.(B) 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate[a] it. 48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover, every male in his household must be circumcised, and then he may participate;[b] he will become like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it. 49 The same law will apply to both the native and the foreigner(C) who resides among you.”
50 Then all the Israelites did this; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 On that same day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt according to their divisions.(D)
13 The Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Consecrate every firstborn male(E) to Me, the firstborn from every womb among the Israelites, both man and domestic animal; it is Mine.”
Self-Examination
27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body[a] and blood of the Lord. 28 So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body,[b] eats and drinks judgment(A) on himself. 30 This is why many are sick and ill among you, and many have fallen asleep.(B) 31 If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged, 32 but when we are judged,(C) we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned(D) with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. And I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come.(E)
