Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Praise to Yahweh for His Work on Behalf of Israel
105 Give thanks to Yahweh; proclaim his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples.
2 Sing to him; sing praises concerning him;
tell of all his wonderful works.
3 Boast about his holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
4 Make supplication to Yahweh and his might;
seek his face continually.
5 Remember his wonders that he has done,
his signs and the judgments of his mouth,
6 O offspring of Abraham his servant,
you descendants[a] of Jacob, his chosen ones.
16 Then he called for a famine upon the land;
he broke every supply[a] of bread.
17 He sent a man on ahead of them;
Joseph was sold as a slave.
18 They clamped[b] his feet in fetters.[c]
His neck[d] went into irons.[e]
19 Until the time his word came about,
the word of Yahweh tested[f] him.
20 The king sent and he freed him;
the ruler of the peoples sent and let him loose.
21 He made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to obligate[g] his officials as he saw fit[h]
and teach his elders wisdom.
45 so that they might observe his statutes,
and keep his laws.
Praise Yah.[a]
The Descendants of Esau
36 Now these are the descendants of Esau (that is, Edom). 2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon, the Hittite, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite, 3 and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth. 4 And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bore Reuel; 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the persons of his household, and his sheep and goats, and all his cattle, and all the goods that he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too many to live together,[a] so that the land of their sojourning was not able to support them on account of their livestock. 8 So Esau dwelled in the hill country of Seir (Esau, that is Edom).
The Early Ministry of Apollos
24 Now a certain Jew named[a] Apollos, a native[b] Alexandrian, arrived in Ephesus—an eloquent man who was well-versed in the scriptures. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being enthusiastic in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, although he[c] knew only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when[d] Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately. 27 And when[e] he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him[f] and[g] wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he[h] arrived, he[i] assisted greatly those who had believed through grace. 28 For he was vigorously refuting the Jews in public, demonstrating through the scriptures that the Christ[j] was Jesus.
