Numbers 15:1–16:50

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye are come into the land of your habitation, which I give to you, 3and thou wilt offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, a whole-burnt-offering or a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a free-will offering, or to offer in your feasts a sacrifice of sweet savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock: 4then he that offers his gift to the Lord shall bring a meat-offering of fine flour, a tenth part of an ephah mingled with oil, even with the fourth part of a hin. 5And for a drink-offering ye shall offer the fourth part of a hin on the whole-burnt-offering, or on the meat-offering: for every lamb thou shalt offer so much, as a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 6And for a ram, when ye offer it as a whole-burnt-offering or as a sacrifice, thou shalt prepare as a meat-offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part of a hin. 7And ye shall offer for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin. 8And if ye sacrifice [a bullock] from the herd for a whole-burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, to perform a vow or a peace-offering to the Lord, 9then [the worshipper] shall offer upon the calf a meat-offering, three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, [even] the half of a hin. 10And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 11Thus shalt thou do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats. 12According to the number of what ye shall offer, so shall ye do to each one, according to their number. 13Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 14And if there should be a stranger among you in your land, or one who should be born to you among your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord—as ye do, so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord. 15There shall be one law for you and for the strangers abiding among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 16There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you. 17And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18Speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye are entering into the land, into which I bring you, 19then it shall come to pass, when ye shall eat of the bread of the land, ye shall separate a wave-offering, a special offering to the Lord, the first-fruits of your dough. 20Ye shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing-floor, so shall ye separate it, 21even the first-fruits of your dough, and ye shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations. 22But whensoever ye shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses; 23as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your generations, 24then it shall come to pass, if a trespass be committed unwillingly, unknown to the congregation, then shall all the congregation offer a calf of the herd without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering of sweet savour to the Lord, and its meat-offering and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. 25And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and [the trespass] shall be forgiven them, because it is involuntary; and they have brought their gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord for their trespass before the Lord, even for their involuntary sins. 26And it shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is abiding among you, because [it is] involuntary to all the people. 27And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering. 28And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that committed the trespass unwillingly, and that sinned unwillingly before the Lord, to make atonement for him. 29There shall be one law for the native among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides among them, whosoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly. 30And whatever soul either of the natives or of the strangers shall do any thing with a presumptuous hand, he will provoke God; that soul shall be cut off from his people, 31for he has set at nought the word of the Lord and broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin [is] upon him. 32And the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day. 33And they who found him gathering sticks on the sabbath-day brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel. 34And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him. 35And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Let the man be by all means put to death: [do ye] all the congregation, stone him with stones. 36And all the congregation brought him forth out of the camp; and all the congregation stoned him with stones outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses. 37And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them; and let them make for themselves fringes upon the borders of their garments throughout their generations: and ye shall put upon the fringes of the borders a lace of blue. 39And it shall be on your fringes, and ye shall look on them, and ye shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them: and ye shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after [the sight of your] eyes in the things after which ye go a whoring; 40that ye may remember and perform all my commands, and ye shall be holy unto your God. 41I [am] the Lord your God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord your God. Chapter 161And Core the son of Isaar the son of Caath the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron, sons of Eliab, and Aun the son of Phaleth the son of Ruben, spoke; 2and rose up before Moses, and two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, chiefs of the assembly, chosen councillors, and men of renown. 3They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said, Let it be enough for you that all the congregation [are] holy, and the Lord [is] among them; and why do ye set up yourselves against the congregation of the Lord? 4And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face. 5And he spoke to Core and all his assembly, saying, God has visited and known those that are his and who are holy, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself. 6This do ye: take to yourselves censers, Core and all his company; 7and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord to-morrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, ye sons of Levi. 8And Moses said to Core, Hearken to me, ye sons of Levi. 9Is it a little thing for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them? 10and he has brought thee near and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and do ye seek to be priests also? 11Thus [it is with] thee and all thy congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? 12And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up. 13Is it a little thing that thou hast brought us up to a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, [and] that thou altogether rulest over us? 14Thou art a prince, and hast thou brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and hast thou given us an inheritance of land and vineyards? wouldest thou have put out the eyes of those men? we will not go up. 15And Moses was exceedingly indignant, and said to the Lord, Do thou take no heed to their sacrifice: I have not taken away the desire of any one of them, neither have I hurt any one of them. 16And Moses said to Core, Sanctify thy company, and be ready before the Lord, thou and Aaron and they, to-morrow. 17And take each man his censer, and ye shall put incense upon them, and shall bring each one his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers, and thou and Aaron shall bring each his censer. 18And each man took his censer, and they put on them fire, and laid incense on them; and Moses and Aaron stood by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. 19And Core raised up against them all his company by the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation. 20And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 21Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once. 22And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, [shall] the wrath of the Lord [be] upon the whole congregation? 23And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Core round about. 25And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiron, and all the elders of Israel went with him. 26And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest ye be consumed with them in all their sin. 27And they stood aloof from the tent of Core round about; and Dathan and Abiron went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store. 28And Moses said, Hereby shall ye know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that [I have] not [done them] of myself. 29If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. 30But if the Lord shall shew by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then ye shall know that these men have provoked the Lord. 31And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder beneath them. 32And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Core, and their cattle. 33And they went down and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation. 34And all Israel round about them fled from the sound of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also]. 35And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 31:1–5(MT: 32)

MT Psalm 32 = LXX Psalm 31 (standard offset).

1[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile. 3Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day. 4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. Pause. 5I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)

Proverbs 11:16–18

16A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: but a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonour. The slothful come to want: but the diligent support themselves with wealth. 17A merciful man does good to his own soul: but the merciless destroys his own body. 18An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth.
New TestamentKing James Version

Mark 11:1–19

1And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. 4And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. 5And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 6And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 7And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 8And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 11And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 12And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 15And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 18And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. 19And when even was come, he went out of the city.
