  • Psalms 119:81-128
    My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
    Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
    For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
    How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
    The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
    All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
    They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
    Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
    For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
    Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
    They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
    Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
    I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
    I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
    The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
    I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
    O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
    Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
    I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
    I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
    I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
    I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
    How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
    Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
    Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
    I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
    I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
    Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
    My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
    The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
    Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
    I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
    I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
    Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
    Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
    Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
    Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
    Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
    Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
    My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
    I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
    Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
    Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
    Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
    I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
    It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
    Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
    Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

  • Luke 1
    Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
    Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
    It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
    That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
    There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
    And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
    And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
    And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
    According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
    And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
    And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
    And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
    But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
    And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
    For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
    And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
    And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
    And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
    And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
    And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
    And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
    And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
    And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
    And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
    Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
    And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
    To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
    And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
    And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
    And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
    And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
    He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
    And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
    Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this b

  • Leviticus 17,18
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
    What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
    And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
    To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
    And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
    And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
    And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
    And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
    And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
    For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
    Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
    And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
    For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
    And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
    But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
    After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
    Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
    Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
    None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
    The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
    The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
    The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
    The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's d

  • Psalms 119:41-80
    Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
    So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
    And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
    So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
    And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
    I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
    And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
    My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
    Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
    This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
    The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
    I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
    Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
    Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
    I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
    This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
    Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
    I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
    I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
    I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
    The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
    At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
    I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
    The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
    Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
    Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
    Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
    Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
    The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
    Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
    It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
    The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
    Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
    They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
    I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
    Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
    Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
    Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
    Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
    Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

  • 2nd Corinthians 12,13
    It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
    I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
    And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
    How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
    Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
    For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
    And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
    For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
    And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
    Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
    I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
    Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
    For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
    Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
    And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
    But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
    Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
    I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
    Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
    For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
    And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
    This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
    I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
    Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
    For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
    Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
    But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
    Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as

    They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

    I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
    I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

    I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
    Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
    Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
    Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
    Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

  • Leviticus 16
    And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
    Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
    He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
    And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
    And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
    And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
    And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
    And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
    But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
    And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
    And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
    And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
    And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
    Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
    And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
    And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
    And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
    And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
    And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
    And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
    And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

  • 2nd Corinthians 10,11
    Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
    But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
    For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
    (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
    Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
    And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
    Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
    For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
    That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
    For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
    Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
    For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
    But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
    For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
    Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
    To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
    But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
    For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
    Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
    For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
    But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
    For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
    For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
    But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
    Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
    I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
    And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
    As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
    Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
    But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
    For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the

  • Psalms 117,118
    O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
    For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
    O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
    Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
    Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
    Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
    I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
    The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
    The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
    It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
    It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
    All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
    They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
    They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
    Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
    The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
    The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
    The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
    I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
    The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
    Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
    This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
    I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
    The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
    This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
    This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
    Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
    Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
    God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
    Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
    O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

    And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
    And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
    Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
    And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
    And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
    And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
    And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
    And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
    And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
    The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

    And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
    And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
    And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
    And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
    Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
    And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
