King James Version
1. Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2. "This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never come. 3. ‘You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, that he may take it outside the camp, and it shall be slaughtered before him; 4. ‘and Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times directly in front of the tabernacle of meeting. 5. ‘Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight: its hide, its flesh, its blood, and its offal shall be burned. 6. ‘And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer. 7. ‘Then the priest shall wash his clothes, he shall bathe in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp; the priest shall be unclean until evening. 8. ‘And the one who burns it shall wash his clothes in water, bathe in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 9. ‘Then a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and store them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for the water of purification; it is for purifying from sin. 10. ‘And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. It shall be a statute forever to the children of Israel and to the stranger who dwells among them. 11. ‘He who touches the dead body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. 12. ‘He shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13. ‘Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; his uncleanness is still on him. 14. ‘This is the law when a man dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent shall be unclean seven days; 15. ‘and every open vessel, which has no cover fastened on it, is unclean. 16. ‘Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 17. ‘And for an unclean person they shall take some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin, and running water shall be put on them in a vessel. 18. ‘A clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, the slain, the dead, or a grave. 19. ‘The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean. 20. ‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean. 21. ‘It shall be a perpetual statute for them. He who sprinkles the water of purification shall wash his clothes; and he who touches the water of purification shall be unclean until evening. 22. ‘Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the person who touches it shall be unclean until evening.’"
1. Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. 2. The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3. He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. 4. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. 5. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. 6. The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. 7. Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God, 8. Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. 9. He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens that cry. 10. He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11. The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy. 12. Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13. For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you. 14. He makes peace in your borders, And fills you with the finest wheat. 15. He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. 16. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes; 17. He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold? 18. He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19. He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. 20. He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the LORD!
1. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! 2. Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! 3. Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! 4. Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! 5. Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created. 6. He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away. 7. Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths; 8. Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9. Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars; 10. Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl; 11. Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; 12. Both young men and maidens; Old men and children. 13. Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14. And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints––Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the LORD!
1. Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. 2. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. 4. For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. 5. Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. 6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two–edged sword in their hand, 7. To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; 8. To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9. To execute on them the written judgment––This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!
1. Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! 2. Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! 3. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! 4. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! 5. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! 6. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
1. Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2. all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3. all ate the same spiritual food, 4. and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 6. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. 7. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." 8. Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty–three thousand fell; 9. nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10. nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 12. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it . 14. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15. I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17. For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
