Old Testament

Numbers 5-6

^5:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ^5:2"Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead. ^5:3Both male and female shall you put out, outside of the camp shall you put them; that they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell."

^5:4The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

^5:5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ^5:6"Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty; ^5:7then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty. ^5:8But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him. ^5:9Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his. ^5:10Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his."

^5:11Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ^5:12"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: If any man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him, ^5:13and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she isn't taken in the act; ^5:14and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn't defiled: ^5:15then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory. ^5:16The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh; ^5:17and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. ^5:18The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse. ^5:19The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman, 'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse. ^5:20But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:' ^5:21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell; ^5:22and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.' The woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'

^5:23"The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness. ^5:24He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. ^5:25The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar. ^5:26The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. ^5:27When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among her people. ^5:28If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

^5:29"This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled; ^5:30or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. ^5:31The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity."

^6:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ^6:2"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yahweh, ^6:3he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. ^6:4All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.

^6:5"All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

^6:6"All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall not go near a dead body. ^6:7He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation to God is on his head. ^6:8All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.

^6:9"If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it. ^6:10On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. ^6:11The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day. ^6:12He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

^6:13"This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting, ^6:14and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings, ^6:15and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings. ^6:16The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering. ^6:17He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering. ^6:18The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings. ^6:19The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the head of his separation; ^6:20and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

^6:21"This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation."

^6:22Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ^6:23"Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,

 ^6:24'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
      ^6:25Yahweh make his face to shine on you,
      And be gracious to you.

 ^6:26Yahweh lift up his face toward you,
      And give you peace.'

^6:27"So they shall put my name on the children of Israel; and I will bless them."

New Testament

John 5

^5:1After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ^5:2Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Bethesda," having five porches. ^5:3In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water; ^5:4for an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had. ^5:5A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years. ^5:6When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

^5:7The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me."

^5:8Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."

^5:9Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.

Now it was the Sabbath on that day. ^5:10So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

^5:11He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"

^5:12Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your mat, and walk'?"

^5:13But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

^5:14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

^5:15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. ^5:16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. ^5:17But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too." ^5:18For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. ^5:19Jesus therefore answered them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. ^5:20For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. ^5:21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. ^5:22For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son, ^5:23that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

^5:24"Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. ^5:25Most assuredly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live. ^5:26For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. ^5:27He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. ^5:28Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, ^5:29and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. ^5:30I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

^5:31"If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. ^5:32It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. ^5:33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. ^5:34But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved. ^5:35He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. ^5:36But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. ^5:37The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. ^5:38You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent.

^5:39"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. ^5:40Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. ^5:41I don't receive glory from men. ^5:42But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves. ^5:43I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. ^5:44How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?

^5:45"Don't think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. ^5:46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. ^5:47But if you don't believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
