Leviticus 9:7-10:20 7 Moses then said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and make your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement on behalf of yourself and on behalf of the people;
and also make the people’s offering and make atonement on behalf of them just as the
Lord has commanded.”
8 So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the sin offering calf which was for himself.
9 Then Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.
10 The fat and the kidneys and the protruding lobe of
the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar just as the
Lord had commanded Moses,
11 but the flesh and the hide he completely burned up
outside the camp.
12 He then slaughtered the burnt offering, and his sons
handed
the blood to him and he splashed
it against the altar’s sides.
13 The burnt offering itself they handed
to him by its parts, including the head,
and he offered them up in smoke on the altar,
14 and he washed the entrails and the legs and offered them up in smoke on top of the burnt offering on the altar.
15 Then he presented the people’s offering. He took the sin offering male goat which was for the people, slaughtered it, and performed a decontamination rite with it
like the first one.
16 He then presented the burnt offering, and did it according to the standard regulation.
17 Next he presented the grain offering, filled his hand with some of it, and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering.
18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram – the peace offering sacrifices which were for the people – and Aaron’s sons handed
the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar’s sides.
19 As for the fat parts from the ox and from the ram
(the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails,
the kidneys, and the protruding lobe of the liver),
20 they
set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar.
21 Finally Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the
Lord just as Moses had commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them and descended from making the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering.
23 Moses and Aaron then entered into the Meeting Tent. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the
Lord appeared to all the people.
24 Then fire went out from the presence of the
Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat parts on the altar, and all the people saw it, so they shouted loudly and fell down with their faces to the ground.
1 Then
Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, each took his fire pan and put fire in it, set incense on it, and presented strange fire
before the
Lord, which he had not commanded them to do.
2 So fire went out from the presence of the
Lord and consumed them so that they died before the
Lord.
3 Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the
Lord spoke: ‘Among the ones close to me I will show myself holy,
and in the presence of all the people I will be honored.’”
So Aaron kept silent.
4 Moses then called to Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and said to them, “Come near, carry your brothers away from the front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp.”
5 So they came near and carried them away in their tunics to a place outside the camp just as Moses had spoken.
6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his other two sons, “Do not
dishevel the hair of your heads
and do not tear your garments, so that you do not die and so that wrath does not come on the whole congregation. Your brothers, all the house of Israel, are to mourn the burning which the
Lord has caused,
7 but you must not go out from the entrance of the Meeting Tent lest you die, for the Lord’s anointing oil is on you.” So they acted according to the word of Moses.
8 Then the
Lord spoke to Aaron,
9 “Do not drink wine or strong drink, you and your sons with you, when you enter into the Meeting Tent, so that you do not die, which is a perpetual statute throughout your generations,
10 as well as
to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,
11 and to teach the Israelites all the statutes that the
Lord has spoken to them through
Moses.”
12 Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his remaining sons, “Take the grain offering which remains from the gifts of the
Lord and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy.
13 You must eat it in a holy place because it is your allotted portion
and the allotted portion of your sons from the gifts
of the
Lord, for this is what I have been commanded.
14 Also, the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering you must eat in a ceremonially
clean place, you and your sons and daughters with you, for they have been given as your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from the peace offering sacrifices of the Israelites.
15 The thigh of the contribution offering and the breast of the wave offering they must bring in addition to the gifts of the fat parts to wave them as a wave offering before the
Lord, and it will belong to you and your sons with you for a perpetual statute just as the
Lord has commanded.”
16 Later Moses sought diligently for the sin offering male goat,
but it had actually been burnt.
So he became angry at Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, saying,
17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering in the sanctuary? For it is most holy and he gave it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation,
to make atonement on their behalf before the
Lord.
18 See here!
Its blood was not brought into the holy place within!
You should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary just as I commanded!”
19 But Aaron spoke to Moses, “See here!
Just today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the
Lord and such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten a sin offering today would the
Lord have been pleased?”
20 When Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
Context (NET) Mark 4:26-5:20 26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who spreads seed on the ground.
27 He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
28 By itself the soil produces a crop, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
29 And when the grain is ripe, he sends in the sickle
because the harvest has come.”
30 He also asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?
31 It is like a mustard seed
that when sown in the ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in the ground –
32 when it is sown, it grows up,
becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birds
can nest in its shade.”
33 So
with many parables like these, he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
34 He did not speak to them without a parable. But privately he explained everything to his own disciples.
35 On that day, when evening came, Jesus
said to his disciples, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.”
36 So
after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat,
and other boats were with him.
37 Now
a great windstorm
developed and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped.
38 But
he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”
39 So
he got up and rebuked
the wind, and said to the sea,
“Be quiet! Calm down!” Then
the wind stopped, and it was dead calm.
40 And he said to them, “Why are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?”
41 They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, “Who then is this?
Even the wind and sea obey him!”
1 So
they came to the other side of the lake, to the region of the Gerasenes.
2 Just as Jesus
was getting out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit
came from the tombs and met him.
3 He lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.
4 For his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and shackles,
but
he had torn the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5 Each night and every day among the tombs and in the mountains, he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.
7 Then
he cried out with a loud voice, “Leave me alone,
Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I implore you by God
– do not torment me!”
8 (For Jesus
had said to him, “Come out of that man, you unclean spirit!”)
9 Jesus
asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “My name is Legion,
for we are many.”
10 He begged Jesus
repeatedly not to send them out of the region.
11 There on the hillside,
a great herd of pigs was feeding.
12 And the demonic spirits
begged him, “Send us into the pigs. Let us enter them.”
13 Jesus
gave them permission.
So
the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs. Then the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake, and about two thousand were drowned in the lake.
14 Now
the herdsmen ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
15 They came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind – the one who had the “Legion” – and they were afraid.
16 Those who had seen what had happened to the demon-possessed man reported it, and they also told about the pigs.
17 Then
they asked Jesus
to leave their region.
18 As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed asked if he could go
with him.
19 But
Jesus
did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you,
that he had mercy on you.”
20 So
he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis
what Jesus had done for him,
and all were amazed.
Context (NET) Psalm 37:30-40 30 The godly speak wise words and promote justice.
31 The law of their God controls their thinking;
their
feet do not slip.
32 Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them.
33 But the
Lord does not surrender the godly, or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.
34 Rely
on the
Lord! Obey his commands!
Then he will permit you
to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.
35 I have seen ruthless evil men
growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.
36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared!
I looked for them, but they could not be found.
37 Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly!
For the one who promotes peace has a future.
38 Sinful rebels are totally destroyed;
evil men have no future.
39 But the
Lord delivers the godly;
he protects them in times of trouble.
40 The
Lord helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them,
for they seek his protection.
Context (NET) Proverbs 10:6-7 6 Blessings
are on the head of the righteous, but the speech
of the wicked conceals
violence.
7 The memory
of the righteous is a blessing, but the reputation
of the wicked will rot.
