Day 51 of 365

Lev 4:1–5:19

4:1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

4:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them:

4:3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.

4:4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before the Lord.

4:5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

4:6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary.

4:7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

4:8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

4:9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,

4:10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

4:11 The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung,

4:12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

4:13 "'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;

4:14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

4:15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord; and the bull shall be killed before the Lord.

4:16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting:

4:17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, before the veil.

4:18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

4:19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.

4:20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

4:21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

4:22 "'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which the Lord his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

4:23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish.

4:24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

4:25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

4:26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.

4:27 "'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

4:28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.

4:29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

4:30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

4:31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

4:32 "'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.

4:33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

4:34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

4:35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of the Lord made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.

5:1 "'If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn't report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

5:2 "'Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.

5:3 "'Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.

5:4 "'Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty of one of these.

5:5 It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned:

5:6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he sinned and it shall be forgiven him.

5:7 "'If he can't afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the Lord; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

5:8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.

5:9 He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

5:10 He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

5:11 "'But if he can't afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of the Lord made by fire. It is a sin offering.

5:13 The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest's, as the meal offering.'"

5:14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

5:15 "If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly, in the holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.

5:16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.

5:17 "If anyone sins, and does any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done; though he did not know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

5:18 He shall bring a ram without blemish from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and did not know it, and he will be forgiven.

5:19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before the Lord."

Mark 2:19–3:11

2:19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

2:20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in those days.

2:21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.

2:22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins."

2:23 It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.

2:24 The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

2:25 He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry-he, and those who were with him?

2:26 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"

2:27 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

2:28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

3:1 He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

3:2 They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

3:3 He said to the man with the withered hand, "Stand up in the middle."

3:4 He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.

3:5 When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

3:6 The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

3:7 Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitude followed from Galilee, from Judea,

3:8 from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, when they heard what great things he did, came to him.

3:9 And he told his disciples that a small boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they would not press on him.

3:10 For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

3:11 The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and shouted, "You are the Son of God!"

Ps 23:1–6

1 The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the Lord's house forever.
