Psalm 81:1-10

An Appeal for Israel’s Repentance

To the Chief Musician. (A)On[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of Asaph.

81 Sing aloud to God our strength;
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
The pleasant harp with the lute.

Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
For (B)this is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.
This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
(C)Where I heard a language I did not understand.

“I removed his shoulder from the burden;
His hands were freed from the baskets.
(D)You called in trouble, and I delivered you;
(E)I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I (F)tested you at the waters of [b]Meribah. Selah

“Hear,(G) O My people, and I will admonish you!
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
There shall be no (H)foreign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
10 (I)I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
(J)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Leviticus 24:5-9

The Bread of the Tabernacle

“And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve (A)cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, (B)on the pure gold table before the Lord. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a (C)memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord. (D)Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. And (E)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, (F)and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.”

John 7:19-24

19 (A)Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? (B)Why do you seek to kill Me?”

20 The people answered and said, (C)“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”

21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 (D)Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, (E)but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because (F)I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 (G)Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
