Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
107 Praise the LORD, because He is good; for His mercy endures forever.
2 Let those who have been redeemed by the LORD show how He has delivered them from the hand of the oppressor—
3 and gathered them out of the lands—from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4 They wandered in the desert wilderness, out of the way, and found no city to dwell in.
5 Both hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble. He delivered them from their distress
7 and led them forth by the right way, so that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Let them confess, before the LORD, His lovingkindness and His wonderful works before the sons of men.
9 For He satisfied the thirsty soul and filled the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death (being bound in misery and iron
11 because they rebelled against the words of the LORD and despised the counsel of the Most High
12 when He humbled their heart with heaviness), they fell down; and there was no helper.
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble. He delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death, and broke their bands apart.
15 Let them confess, before the LORD, His lovingkindness, and his wonderful works, before the sons of men.
16 For He has broken the gates of brass and burst the bars of iron apart.
22 Then Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink from the water of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore, the name of the place was called “Marah”.
24 Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast into the waters, the waters became sweet. There He made an ordinance and a law to them; and there He tested them,
26 and said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD, Your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will hear His Commandments, and keep all His Ordinances, then I will bring none of these diseases upon you which I brought upon the Egyptians. For I am the LORD Who heals you.”
27 And they came to Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the waters.
3 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to Him who has appointed Him (just as Moses was) in all His house.
3 For this Man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as the One who has built the house has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by someone. But the One Who has built all things is God.
5 Now Moses was truly faithful in all His house as a servant, for a witness of the things yet to be spoken.
6 But, Christ is as the Son over His own house, Whose house we are if we hold onto the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope to the end.
