Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

95 Come ye, make ye full out joy to the Lord; heartily sing we to God, our health. (Come ye, rejoice ye before the Lord; sing we heartily to God, our salvation/sing we heartily to God, our deliverer.)

² Before-occupy we his face in acknowledging; and heartily sing we to him in psalms. (Let us come before him with thanksgiving; and sing we heartily to him with songs.)

³ For God is a great Lord, and a great King above all gods; for the Lord shall not put away his people.

⁴ For all the ends of [the] earth be in his hand; and the highness, [(or) the heights,] of (the) hills be his.

⁵ For the sea is his, and he made it; and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Come ye, praise we, and fall we down before God; weep we before the Lord that made us; (Come ye, praise we, and fall we down before God; let us kneel before the Lord who made us;)

⁷ for he is our Lord God. And we be the people of his pasture; and the sheep of his hand. If ye have heard his voice today; (for he is the Lord our God. And we be the people of his pasture; and the sheep of his hand. If ye will but listen to his voice today;)

⁸ do not ye make hard your hearts. As in the stirring to wrath; by the day of temptation in desert. (yea, do not ye make your hearts stubborn; like they were at Meribah, and like that time at Massah, in the wilderness.)

⁹ Where your fathers tempted me; they proved and saw my works. (When your forefathers tempted me; they proved, or tested, me, and saw my works.)

¹⁰ Forty years I was offended to this generation; and I said, Ever[more] they err in heart. And these men knew not my ways; (For forty years I was offended by that generation; and I said, They err in their hearts forevermore. And these people do not know my ways;)

¹¹ to whom I swore in mine ire, they shall not enter into my rest. (and so I swore to them in my anger, that they would not enter into my rest.)

⁹ And Moses said to Aaron, Say thou to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, Nigh ye before the Lord, for he [hath] heard your grouching (for he hath heard your grumbling).

¹⁰ And when Aaron spake to all the company of the sons of Israel, they beheld to the wilderness, and lo! the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.

¹¹ Forsooth the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

¹² I heard the grouchings of the sons of Israel (I heard the grumbling of the Israelites); speak thou to them, (and say,) At eventide ye shall eat flesh, and in the morrowtide ye shall be filled with loaves, and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.

¹³ Therefore eventide was made, and curlews went up, and covered the castles; and in the morrowtide dew came before the face of the castles. (And so the evening came, and curlews flew in, and covered the tents; and in the morning dew lay all around the tents.)

¹⁴ And when it had covered the earth, a little thing, and as pounded with a pestle, in the likeness of an hoarfrost on the earth, appeared in the wilderness. (And when it had covered all the ground, there appeared in the wilderness a little thing, as if it was pounded with a pestle, and like hoarfrost on the ground.)

¹⁵ And when the sons of Israel had seen that, they said together, Man na? which signifieth, What is this? for they wist not what it was (And when the Israelites had seen it, they said to each other, Manna? which meaneth, What is this? for they did not know what it was). To whom Moses said, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

¹⁶ This is the word which the Lord commanded, Each man gather thereof as much as it sufficeth to be eaten, omer by each head, by the number of your souls that dwell in the tabernacle, so ye shall take. (This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Each of you gather as much of it as sufficeth to be eaten, yea, an omer for each soul, such ye shall gather by the number of souls who live in your tent.)

¹⁷ And the sons of Israel did so, and they gathered (it), one more, and another less;

¹⁸ and they meted [it] at the measure of omer; neither he that gathered more had more, neither he that made ready less found less, but all gathered by that that they might eat. (and they measured it at the measure of an omer per person, and he who gathered more did not have too much, nor he who gathered less had not enough, but they all gathered just what they could eat.)

¹⁹ And Moses said to them, No man leave thereof into the morrowtide; (And Moses said to them, No one leave any of it until the next morning;)

²⁰ which heard not him, but some of them left thereof till to the morrowtide, and it began to boil with worms, and it was rotten; and Moses was wroth against them. (but some of them did not listen to him, and saved some of it for the next day, and it began to boil with worms, and it was rotten; and Moses was angry at them.)

²¹ Forsooth all they gathered in the morrowtide as much as sufficed to be eaten; and when the sun was hot, it was molten. (So every morning they all gathered as much as sufficed to be eaten; and when the sun was risen, it melted away.)

¹¹ For which thing be ye mindful, that sometime ye were heathen in flesh, which were said prepuce, from that that is said circumcision made by hand in flesh [from that that is said circumcision in flesh made by hand];

¹² and ye were in that time without Christ, aliened from the living of Israel, and guests of the testaments^[a], not having hope of promise, and without God in this world.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus ye that were sometime far, be made nigh in the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, that made both one, and unbinding the middle wall of a wall without mortar,

¹⁵ enmities in his flesh; and voided the law of commandments by dooms [voiding the law of commandments by dooms], that he make two in himself into a new man, making peace,

¹⁶ to reconcile both in one body to God by the cross [that he reconcile both in one body to God by the cross], slaying the enmities in himself.

¹⁷ And he coming preached peace to you that were far, and peace to them that were nigh;

¹⁸ for by him we both have nigh coming in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ Therefore now ye be not guests and strangers, but ye be citizens of saints, and [the] household members of God;

²⁰ above builded on the foundament of apostles and of prophets^[b], upon that highest corner stone, Christ Jesus;

²¹ in whom each building made waxeth into an holy temple in the Lord.

²² In whom also ye be builded together into the habitation of God, in the Holy Ghost. [In whom and ye be built together into the habitacle of God, in the Holy Ghost.]
