Leviticus 6Leviticus 7Acts 1Leviticus 6
1
And the Lord said to Moses,
2
If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour,
3
Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance if a man has done any of these evil things,
4
Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance,
5
Or anything about which he took a false oath he will have to give it all back, with the addition of a fifth of its value, to him whose property it is, when he has been judged to be in the wrong.
6
Then let him take to the Lord the offering for his wrongdoing giving to the priest for his offering, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you:
7
And the priest will take away his sin from before the Lord, and he will have forgiveness for whatever crime he has done
8
And the Lord said to Moses,
9
Give orders to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law for the burned offering: the offering is to be on the fire-wood on the altar all night till the morning and the fire of the altar is to be kept burning.
10
And the priest is to put on his linen robes and his linen trousers, and take up what is over of the offering after it has been burned on the altar, and put it by the side of the altar.
11
Then having taken off his linen robes and put on other clothing, he is to take it away into a clean place, outside the tent-circle.
12
The fire on the altar is to be kept burning it is never to go out every morning the priest is to put wood on it, placing the burned offering in order on it, and there the fat of the peace-offering is to be burned.
13
Let the fire be kept burning on the altar at all times it is never to go out.
14
And this is the law for the meal offering: it is to be offered to the Lord before the altar by the sons of Aaron.
15
The priest is to take in his hand some of the meal of the meal offering and of the oil of it, and all the perfume on it, burning it on the altar as a sign, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
16
And whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it without leaven in a holy place in the open space of the Tent of meeting they may take a meal of it.
17
It is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the offerings made by fire to me it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and the offerings for error.
18
Every male among the children of Aaron may have it for food it is their right for ever through all your generations, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord: anyone touching them will be holy.
19
And the Lord said to Moses,
20
This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21
Let it be made with oil on a flat plate when it is well mixed and cooked, let it be broken and taken in as a meal offering, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
22
And the same offering is to be given by that one of his sons who takes his place as priest by an order for ever, all of it is to be burned before the Lord.
23
Every meal offering offered for the priest is to be completely burned: nothing of it is to be taken for food.
24
And the Lord said to Moses,
25
Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law for the sin-offering: the sin-offering is to be put to death before the Lord in the same place as the burned offering it is most holy.
26
The priest by whom it is offered for sin, is to take it for his food in a holy place, in the open space of the Tent of meeting.
27
Anyone touching the flesh of it will be holy: and if any of the blood is dropped on any clothing, the thing on which the blood has been dropped is to be washed in a holy place.
28
But the vessel of earth in which the flesh was cooked is to be broken or if a brass vessel was used, it is to be rubbed clean and washed out with water.
29
Every male among the priests may take it for his food: it is most holy.
30
No sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with fire.
Leviticus 7
1
And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.
2
They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.
3
And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.
4
And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:
5
They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.
6
Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.
7
As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.
8
And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him.
9
And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.
10
And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.
11
And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord.
12
If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.
13
With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering.
14
And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.
15
And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered no part of it may be kept till the morning.
16
But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered and the rest may be used up on the day after:
17
But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.
18
And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.
19
And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:
20
But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.
21
And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.
22
And the Lord said to Moses,
23
Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.
24
And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.
25
For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.
26
And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.
27
Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.
28
And the Lord said to Moses,
29
Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:
30
He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
31
And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.
32
And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.
33
That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.
34
For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.
35
This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord
36
Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.
37
These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings
38
As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.
Acts 1
1
I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
2
Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
3
And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
4
And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
5
For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
6
So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
7
And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
8
But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
9
And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
10
And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
11
And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
12
Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13
And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
14
And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15
And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
16
My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
17
For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
18
(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
19
And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
20
For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
21
For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22
Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
23
And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
24
And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
25
To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
26
And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
