Leviticus 4: Sin Offerings
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the people of
Israel, saying: When anyone sins unintentionally in any of the Lord’s
commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them:
3 If it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on
the people, he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull of the herd
without blemish as a sin offering to the Lord. 4 He shall bring the bull to the
entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord and lay his hand on the head of
the bull; the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord. 5 The anointed priest
shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood
seven times before the Lord in front of the curtain of the sanctuary. 7 The
priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant
incense that is in the tent of meeting before the Lord; and the rest of the
blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering,
which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 8 He shall remove all the fat
from the bull of sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat
that is around the entrails; 9 the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at
the loins; and the appendage of the liver, which he shall remove with the
kidneys, 10 just as these are removed from the ox of the sacrifice of
well-being. The priest shall turn them into smoke upon the altar of burnt
offering. 11 But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, as well as its head,
its legs, its entrails, and its dung— 12 all the rest of the bull—he shall
carry out to a clean place outside the camp, to the ash heap, and shall burn it
on a wood fire; at the ash heap it shall be burned.
13 If the whole congregation of Israel errs unintentionally and
the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they do any one of the
things that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done and incur guilt; 14
when the sin that they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a
bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. 15
The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull
before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord. 16 The
anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the tent of
meeting, 17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it
seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain. 18 He shall put some of
the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the tent of
meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar
of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 19 He shall
remove all its fat and turn it into smoke on the altar. 20 He shall do with the
bull just as is done with the bull of sin offering; he shall do the same with
this. The priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. 21
He shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first
bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 When a ruler sins, doing unintentionally any one of all the
things that by commandments of the Lord his God ought not to be done and incurs
guilt, 23 once the sin that he has committed is made known to him, he shall
bring as his offering a male goat without blemish. 24 He shall lay his hand on
the head of the goat; it shall be slaughtered at the spot where the burnt
offering is slaughtered before the Lord; it is a sin offering. 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, and pour out the rest of its blood at
the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 All its fat he shall turn into
smoke on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of well-being. Thus the
priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin, and he shall be
forgiven.
27 If anyone of the ordinary people among you sins
unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the Lord’s commandments
ought not to be done and incurs guilt, 28 when the sin that you have committed
is made known to you, you shall bring a female goat without blemish as your
offering, for the sin that you have committed. 29 You shall lay your hand on
the head of the sin offering; and the sin offering shall be slaughtered at the
place of the burnt offering. 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 he shall
pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 31 He shall remove all
its fat, as the fat is removed from the offering of well-being, and the priest
shall turn it into smoke on the altar for a pleasing odor to the Lord. Thus the
priest shall make atonement on your behalf, and you shall be forgiven.
32 If the offering you bring as a sin offering is a sheep, you
shall bring a female without blemish. 33 You shall lay your hand on the head of
the sin offering; and it shall be slaughtered as a sin offering at the spot
where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 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 pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
35 You shall remove all its fat, as the fat of the sheep is removed from the
sacrifice of well-being, and the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar,
with the offerings by fire to the Lord. Thus the priest shall make atonement on
your behalf for the sin that you have committed, and you shall be forgiven.
5: When any of you sin in that you have heard a public
adjuration to testify and—though able to testify as one who has seen or learned
of the matter—do not speak up, you are subject to punishment. 2 Or when any of
you touch any unclean thing—whether the carcass of an unclean beast or the
carcass of unclean livestock or the carcass of an unclean swarming thing—and
are unaware of it, you have become unclean, and are guilty. 3 Or when you touch
human uncleanness—any uncleanness by which one can become unclean—and are
unaware of it, when you come to know it, you shall be guilty. 4 Or when any of
you utter aloud a rash oath for a bad or a good purpose, whatever people utter
in an oath, and are unaware of it, when you come to know it, you shall in any
of these be guilty. 5 When you realize your guilt in any of these, you shall
confess the sin that you have committed. 6 And you shall bring to the Lord, as
your penalty for the sin that you have committed, a female from the flock, a
sheep or a goat, as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement on your
behalf for your sin.
7 But if you cannot afford a sheep, you shall bring to the Lord,
as your penalty for the sin that you have committed, two turtledoves or two
pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 You shall
bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering,
wringing its head at the nape without severing it. 9 He shall sprinkle some of
the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the
blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering. 10
And the second he shall offer for a burnt offering according to the regulation.
Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for the sin that you have
committed, and you shall be forgiven.
11 But if you cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, you
shall bring as your offering for the sin that you have committed one-tenth of
an ephah of choice flour for a sin offering; you shall not put oil on it or lay
frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 12 You shall bring it to the
priest, and the priest shall scoop up a handful of it as its memorial portion,
and turn this into smoke on the altar, with the offerings by fire to the Lord;
it is a sin offering. 13 Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf
for whichever of these sins you have committed, and you shall be forgiven. Like
the grain offering, the rest shall be for the priest.
Offerings with Restitution
14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 15 When any of you commit a
trespass and sin unintentionally in any of the holy things of the Lord, you
shall bring, as your guilt offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the
flock, convertible into silver by the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.
16 And you shall make restitution for the holy thing in which you were remiss,
and shall add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest. The priest shall make
atonement on your behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and you shall be
forgiven.
17 If any of you sin without knowing it, doing any of the things
that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done, you have incurred guilt,
and are subject to punishment. 18 You shall bring to the priest a ram without
blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering; and the priest
shall make atonement on your behalf for the error that you committed
unintentionally, and you shall be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; you have
incurred guilt before the Lord.
Psalm 57: Praise and Assurance under Persecution
To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam, when he fled
from Saul, in the cave.
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul
takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying
storms pass by.
2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfills
his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame
those who trample on me.Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.
4 I lie down among lions
that greedily
devour[a] human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp
swords.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over
all the earth.
6 They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed
down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they have fallen
into it themselves.Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make melody.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to
you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness
extends to the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over
all the earth.

Matthew 28: The Resurrection of Jesus
1 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there
was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came
and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning,
and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him the guards shook and became
like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know
that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for he has
been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. 7 Then go quickly
and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead,[b] and indeed he is
going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for
you.” 8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell
his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came
to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them,
“Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will
see me.”
The Report of the Guard
11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city
and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 After the
priests[c] had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large
sum of money to the soldiers, 13 telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples
came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this comes to the
governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they
took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told
among the Jews to this day.
The Commissioning of the Disciples
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to
which Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but
some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and
on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”[d]
