Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
(A)And opened the doors of heaven,
24 (B)Had rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the [a]bread of (C)heaven.
25 Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to [b]the full.
26 (D)He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens;
And by His power He brought in the south wind.
27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,
Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;
28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
All around their dwellings.
29 (E)So they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.
Passover Regulations(A)
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is (B)the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it. 44 But every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have (C)circumcised him, then he may eat it. 45 (D)A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it. 46 In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, (E)nor shall you break one of its bones. 47 (F)All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 And (G)when a stranger [a]dwells with you and wants to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it. 49 (H)One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.”
50 Thus all the children of Israel did; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 51 (I)And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt (J)according to their armies.
The Firstborn Consecrated
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (K)“Consecrate[b] to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.”
Examine Yourself
27 Therefore whoever eats (A)this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and [a]blood of the Lord. 28 But (B)let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks [b]in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the [c]Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many [d]sleep. 31 For (C)if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, (D)we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Therefore, my brethren, when you (E)come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.
