King James Version
1. Now the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, 2. "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the livestock––of the herd and of the flock. 3. ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD. 4. ‘Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. 5. ‘He shall kill the bull before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 6. ‘And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7. ‘The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire. 8. ‘Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 9. ‘but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 10. ‘If his offering is of the flocks––of the sheep or of the goats––as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish. 11. ‘He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. 12. ‘And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; 13. ‘but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 14. ‘And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the LORD is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. 15. ‘The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. 16. ‘And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. 17. ‘Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD.
1. ‘When anyone offers a grain offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. 2. ‘He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 3. ‘The rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is most holy of the offerings to the LORD made by fire. 4. ‘And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5. ‘But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil. 6. ‘You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7. ‘If your offering is a grain offering baked in a covered pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8. ‘You shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the LORD. And when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 9. ‘Then the priest shall take from the grain offering a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar. It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD. 10. ‘And what is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is most holy of the offerings to the LORD made by fire. 11. ‘No grain offering which you bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering to the LORD made by fire. 12. ‘As for the offering of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to the LORD, but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet aroma. 13. ‘And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt. 14. ‘If you offer a grain offering of your firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire, grain beaten from full heads. 15. ‘And you shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. 16. ‘Then the priest shall burn the memorial portion: part of its beaten grain and part of its oil, with all the frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
1. <> Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me. 2. My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High. 3. Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. 4. In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? 5. All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6. They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life. 7. Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God! 8. You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? 9. When I cry out to You , Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. 10. In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word), 11. In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12. Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You, 13. For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
1. <> Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by. 2. I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me. 3. He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth. 4. My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. 5. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth. 6. They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah 7. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise. 8. Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. 9. I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. 10. For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds. 11. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
21. When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome." 22. So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time. 23. And about that time there arose a great commotion about the Way. 24. For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small profit to the craftsmen. 25. He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: "Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade. 26. "Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands. 27. "So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship." 28. Now when they heard this , they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" 29. So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions. 30. And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him. 31. Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater. 32. Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33. And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people. 34. But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" 35. And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Zeus? 36. "Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly. 37. "For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess. 38. "Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39. "But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly. 40. "For we are in danger of being called in question for today’s uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering."
