Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

99 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

² Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

³ They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

⁴ And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.

⁵ Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

⁷ In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

⁸ O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

⁹ Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!

9 And it cometh to pass on the eighth day, Moses hath called for Aaron and for his sons, and for the elders of Israel,

² and he saith unto Aaron, `Take to thyself a calf, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, perfect ones, and bring near before Jehovah.

³ `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf, and a lamb, sons of a year, perfect ones, for a burnt-offering,

⁴ and a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah, and a present mixed with oil; for to-day Jehovah hath appeared unto you.'

⁵ And they take that which Moses hath commanded unto the front of the tent of meeting, and all the company draw near and stand before Jehovah;

⁶ and Moses saith, `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded; do [it], and the honour of Jehovah doth appear unto you.'

⁷ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Draw near unto the altar, and make thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people, and make the offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as Jehovah hath commanded.'

⁸ And Aaron draweth near unto the altar, and slaughtereth the calf of the sin-offering, which [is] for himself;

⁹ and the sons of Aaron bring the blood near unto him, and he dippeth his finger in the blood, and putteth [it] on the horns of the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the foundation of the altar;

¹⁰ and the fat, and the kidneys, and the redundance of the liver, of the sin-offering, he hath made a perfume on the altar, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses;

¹¹ and the flesh and the skin he hath burnt with fire, at the outside of the camp.

²² And Aaron lifteth up his hand towards the people, and blesseth them, and cometh down from making the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.

²³ And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto the tent of meeting, and they come out, and bless the people, and the honour of Jehovah appeareth unto all the people;

²⁴ and fire cometh out from before Jehovah, and consumeth on the altar the burnt-offering, and the fat; and all the people see, and cry aloud, and fall on their faces.

4 Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in the flesh hath done with sin,

² no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

³ for sufficient to us [is] the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

⁴ in which they think it strange -- your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil,

⁵ who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead,

⁶ for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.
