Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Numbers 19:1–20:29
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take for thee a red heifer without spot, which has no spot on her, and on which no yoke has been put. 3And thou shalt give her to Eleazar the priest; and they shall bring her out of the camp into a clean place, and shall kill her before his face. 4And Eleazar shall take of her blood, and sprinkle of her blood seven times in front of the tabernacle of witness. 5And they shall burn her to ashes before him; and her skin and her flesh and her blood, with her dung, shall be consumed. 6And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet wool, and they shall cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 7And the priest shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall go into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean till evening. 8And he that burns her shall wash his garments, and bathe his body, and shall be unclean till evening. 9And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up in a clean place outside the camp; and they shall be for the congregation of the children of Israel to keep: it is the water of sprinkling, a purification. 10And he that gathers up the ashes of the heifer shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual statute for the children of Israel and for the strangers joined to them. 11He that touches the dead body of any man, shall be unclean seven days. 12He shall be purified on the third day and the seventh day, and shall be clean; but if he be not purged on the third day and the seventh day, he shall not be clean. 13Every one that touches the carcase of the person of a man, if he should have died, and [the other] not have been purified, has defiled the tabernacle of the Lord: that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. 14And this [is] the law; if a man die in a house, every one that goes into the house, and all things in the house, shall be unclean seven days. 15And every open vessel which has not a covering bound upon it, shall be unclean. 16And every one who shall touch a man slain by violence, or a corpse, or human bone, or sepulchre, shall be unclean seven days. 17And they shall take for the unclean of the burnt ashes of purification, and they shall pour upon them running water into a vessel. 18And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it into the water, and sprinkle it upon the house, and the furniture, and all the souls that are therein, and upon him that touched the human bone, or the slain man, or the corpse, or the tomb. 19And the clean man shall sprinkle [the water] on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day he shall purify himself; and [the other] shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 20And whatever man shall be defiled and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, because he has defiled the holy things of the Lord, because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. 21And it shall be to you a perpetual statute; and he that sprinkles the water of sprinkling shall wash his garments; and he that touches the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until evening. 22And whatsoever the unclean man shall touch shall be unclean, and the soul that touches it shall be unclean till evening. Chapter 201And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people abode in Cades; and Mariam died there, and was buried there. 2And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron. 3And the people reviled Moses, saying, Would we had died in the destruction of our brethren before the Lord! 4And wherefore have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our cattle? 5And wherefore [is] this? Ye have brought us up out of Egypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, neither is there water to drink. 6And Moses and Aaron went from before the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of witness, and they fell upon their faces; and the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 7And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8Take thy rod, and call the assembly, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye to the rock before them, and it shall give forth its waters; and ye shall bring forth for them water out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their cattle. 9And Moses took his rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord commanded. 10And Moses and Aaron assembled the congregation before the rock, and said to them, Hear me, ye disobedient ones; must we bring you water out of this rock? 11And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle. 12And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because ye have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 13This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them. 14And Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says thy brother Israel; Thou knowest all the distress that has come upon us. 15And [how] our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers. 16And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of thy coasts. 17We will pass through thy land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of thy cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed thy borders. 18And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet thee in war. 19And the children of Israel say to him, We will pass by the mountain; and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, I will pay thee: but it is no matter of importance, we will go by the mountain. 20And he said, Thou shalt not pass through me; and Edom went forth to meet him with a great host, and a mighty hand. 21So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Israel turned away from him. 22And they departed from Cades; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Or. 23And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Or, on the borders of the land of Edom, saying, 24Let Aaron be added to his people; for ye shall certainly not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because ye provoked me at the water of strife. 25Take Aaron, and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to the mount Or before all the congregation; 26and take Aaron's apparel from off him, and put it on Eleazar his son: and let Aaron die there and be added to [his people]. 27And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and took him up to mount Or, before all the congregation. 28And he took Aaron's garments off him, and put them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron died on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. 29And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead: and they wept for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 32:1–9(MT: 33)
MT Psalm 33 = LXX Psalm 32 (standard offset).
1[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. 2I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth. 3My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice. 4Magnify ye the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. 5I sought the Lord diligently, and he hearkened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings. 6Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed. 7This poor man cried, and the Lord hearkened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions. 8The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them. 9Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 11:22–24
22As an ornament in a swine's snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded woman. 23All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish. 24There are [some] who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are [some] also who gather, [yet] have less.
New TestamentKing James Version
Mark 12:1–27
1And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. 2And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 3And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 4And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 5And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. 6Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 7But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. 8And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 10And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 11This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 12And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. 13And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 14And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not? 15Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. 16And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cesar’s. 17And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him. 18Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
