Day 58 of 365

Lev 15:1–16:34

15:1 The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

15:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.

15:3 This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness. All the days of the discharge of his body, even if his body obstructs his discharge, it is his uncleanness.

15:4 "'Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean.

15:5 Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:6 He who sits on anything whereon the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:7 "'He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:8 "'If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:9 "'Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean.

15:10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:11 "'Whoever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:12 "'The earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

15:13 "'When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

15:14 "'On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest:

15:15 and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his discharge.

15:16 "'If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:17 Every garment, and every skin, whereon the semen is, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:18 If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:19 "'If a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.

15:20 "'Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean.

15:21 Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:22 Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:23 If it is on the bed, or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.

15:24 "'If any man lies with her, and her monthly flow is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies shall be unclean.

15:25 "'If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period: she is unclean.

15:26 Every bed whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period: and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period.

15:27 Whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

15:28 "'But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

15:29 On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.

15:30 The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for the uncleanness of her discharge.

15:31 "'Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.'"

15:32 This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby;

15:33 and of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a discharge, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.

16:1 The Lord spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the Lord, and died;

16:2 and the Lord said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.

16:3 "Herewith shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on.

16:5 He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

16:6 "Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

16:7 He shall take the two goats, and set them before the Lord at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

16:8 Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

16:9 Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord, and offer him for a sin offering.

16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.

16:11 "Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.

16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:

16:13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

16:14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

16:15 "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

16:17 There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

16:18 "He shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull's blood, and some of the goat's blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.

16:19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

16:20 "When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

16:21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.

16:22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.

16:23 "Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.

16:24 Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

16:25 The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

16:26 "He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

16:27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.

16:28 He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

16:29 "It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you:

16:30 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the Lord.

16:31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever.

16:32 The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father's place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.

16:33 Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

16:34 "This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins." It was done as the Lord commanded Moses.

Mark 6:35–56

35 And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is desolate, and it is late in the day.

36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to eat."

37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"

38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.

42 They all ate, and were filled.

43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.

44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

45 And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.

46 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

47 When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

48 He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,

49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;

50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I! Do not be afraid."

51 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves;

52 for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

55 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.

56 Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

Ps 26:1–12

1 Judge me, Lord, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Lord without wavering.

2 Examine me, Lord, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Lord;

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

8 Lord, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

10 in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
