Day 83 of 365

Num 28:1–29:39

28:1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

28:2 "Command the children of Israel, and tell them, 'My offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to me, you shall observe to offer to me in their due season.'

28:3 You shall tell them, 'This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the Lord: male lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

28:4 You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening;

28:5 with the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.

28:6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

28:7 Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the Lord in the holy place.

28:8 The other lamb you shall offer at evening: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the Lord.

28:9 "'On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it:

28:10 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

28:11 "'In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, and one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish;

28:12 and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram;

28:13 and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

28:14 Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for each lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

28:15 One male goat for a sin offering to the Lord; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

28:16 "'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Lord's Passover.

28:17 On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

28:18 In the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work;

28:19 but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, and one ram, and seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without blemish;

28:20 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil: you shall offer three tenth parts for a bull, and two tenth parts for the ram.

28:21 You shall offer a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

28:22 and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

28:23 You shall offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

28:24 In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the Lord: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.

28:25 On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.

28:26 "'Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to the Lord in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work;

28:27 but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;

28:28 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for each bull, two tenth parts for the one ram,

28:29 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;

28:30 one male goat, to make atonement for you.

28:31 Besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, you shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and their drink offerings.

29:1 "'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing of trumpets to you.

29:2 You shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to the Lord: one young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without blemish;

29:7 "'On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall do no kind of work;

29:8 but you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord for a pleasant aroma: one young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without blemish;

29:9 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for the bull, two tenth parts for the one ram,

29:13 and you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the Lord; thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish;

29:14 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for every bull of the thirteen bulls, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams,

Luke 3:1–18

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.

3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

4 As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6 All flesh will see God's salvation.'"

7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!

9 Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."

10 The multitudes asked him, "What then must we do?"

11 He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."

12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"

13 He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."

14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."

15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Messiah,

16 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,

17 whose fan is in his hand, to thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,

Prov 19:11–21

11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping.

14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.

17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; he will reward him.

18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.

19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

21 There are many plans in a man's heart, but the Lord's counsel will prevail.
