Old Testament

Leviticus 15-16

^15:1Yahweh 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. ^15:3This 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.

^15:4"'Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean. ^15:5Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ^15:6He 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. ^15:10Whoever 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 Yahweh to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest: ^15:15and 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 Yahweh 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. ^15:17Every garment, and every skin, whereon the semen is, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. ^15:18If 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. ^15:21Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ^15:22Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ^15:23If 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. ^15:26Every 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. ^15:27Whoever 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. ^15:29On 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. ^15:30The 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 Yahweh for the uncleanness of her discharge.

^15:31Thus 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.'"

^15:32This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby; ^15:33and 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.

^16:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Yahweh, and died; ^16:2and Yahweh 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. ^16:4He 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. ^16:5He 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. ^16:7He shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting. ^16:8Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat. ^16:9Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer him for a sin offering. ^16:10But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before Yahweh, 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. ^16:12He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: ^16:13and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die. ^16:14He 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: ^16:16and 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. ^16:17There 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 Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull's blood, and some of the goat's blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about. ^16:19He 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. ^16:21Aaron 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. ^16:22The 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. ^16:24Then 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. ^16:25The 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. ^16:27The 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. ^16:28He 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 sojourns among you: ^16:30for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before Yahweh. ^16:31It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever. ^16:32The 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. ^16:33Then 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 Yahweh commanded Moses.

New Testament

Luke 17

^17:1He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come! ^17:2It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. ^17:3Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. ^17:4If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times turns again, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."

^17:5The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

^17:6The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. ^17:7But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,' ^17:8and will not rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink?' ^17:9Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not. ^17:10Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

^17:11It happened as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. ^17:12As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance. ^17:13They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

^17:14When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed. ^17:15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. ^17:16He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. ^17:17Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ^17:18Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?" ^17:19Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

^17:20Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation; ^17:21neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

^17:22He said to the disciples, "The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. ^17:23They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them, ^17:24for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day. ^17:25But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. ^17:26As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man. ^17:27They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. ^17:28Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; ^17:29but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all. ^17:30It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed. ^17:31In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back. ^17:32Remember Lot's wife! ^17:33Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. ^17:34I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. The one will be taken, and the other will be left. ^17:35There will be two women grinding together. The one will be taken, and the other will be left." ^17:36*

^17:37They answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?"

He said to them, "Where the body is, there will the vultures also be gathered together."
