Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
105 1 He praiseth the singular grace of God, who hath of all the people of the world chosen a peculiar people to himself, and having chosen them, never ceaseth to do them good, even for his promise’s sake.
1 Praise the Lord, and call upon his Name: [a]declare his works among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing praise unto him, and talk of all his wondrous works.
3 Rejoice in his holy Name, let the heart of them that seek the Lord, rejoice.
4 Seek the Lord and his [b]strength: seek his face continually.
5 Remember his [c]marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the [d]judgments of his mouth,
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, which are his elect.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold, and there was [a]none feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was [b]glad at their departing: for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 They [c]asked, and he brought quails, and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the water flowed out, and ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy [d]promise to Abraham his servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with [e]joy, and his chosen with gladness,
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen, and they took the labors of the people in possession,
45 That they might [f]keep his statutes, and observe his Laws. Praise ye the Lord.
16 1The Israelites come to the desert of Sin, and murmur against Moses and Aaron. 13 The Lord sendeth Quails and Manna. 23 The Sabbath is sanctified unto the Lord. 27 The seventh day Manna could not be found. 32 It is kept for a remembrance to the posterity.
1 Afterward all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wilderness of [a]Sin, (which is between Elim and Sinai) the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses, and against Aaron in the wilderness.
3 For the children of Israel said to them, Oh that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh [b]pots, when we ate bread our bellies full: for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole company with famine.
4 ¶ Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will cause bread to rain from heaven to you, and the people shall go out, and gather [c]that that is sufficient for every [d]day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law or no.
5 But the sixth day they shall prepare that, which they shall bring home, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 Then Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even ye shall know, that the Lord brought you out of the land of Egypt:
7 And in the morning ye shall see the glory of the Lord: [e]for he hath heard your grudgings against the Lord: and what are we that ye have murmured against us?
8 Again, Moses said, At even shall the Lord give you flesh to eat, and in the morning your fill of bread: for the Lord hath heard your murmurings, which ye murmur against him: for what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the [f]Lord.
9 ¶ And Moses said to Aaron, Say unto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw near before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10 Now as Aaron spake unto the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared (A)in a cloud.
11 (For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: tell them therefore, and say, [g]At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread, and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.)
13 And so at even the (B)quails came and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 (C)And when the dew that was fallen was ascended, behold, a small round thing was upon the face of the wilderness, small as the hoary frost upon the earth.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is [h]Manna, for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, (D)This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
16 ¶ This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: gather of it every man according to his eating, [i]an omer for [j]a man according to the number of your persons: every man shall take for them which are in his tent.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did measure it with an omer, (E)he that had gathered much, had nothing over, and he that had gathered little, had no [k]lack: so every man gathered according to his eating.
19 Moses then said unto them, Let no man reserve thereof till morning.
20 Notwithstanding, they obeyed not Moses: but some of them reserved of it till morning, and it was full of worms, and [l]stank: therefore Moses was angry with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: for when the heat of the sun came, it was melted.
5 (A)[a]Prove yourselves whether ye are in the faith: examine yourselves: know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 [b]But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray unto God that ye do none evil, not that we should seem approved, but that ye should do that which is honest: though we be as [c]reprobates.
8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad when we are weak, and that ye are strong: this also we wish for, even your [d]perfection.
10 Therefore write I these things being absent, lest when I am present, I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me, to edification, and not to destruction.
