καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free(John 8:32)
Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Leviticus 26:1–27:34
1I [am] the Lord your God: ye shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall ye rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall ye set up a stone [for] an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God. 2Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord. 3If ye will walk in my ordinances, and keep my commandments, and do them, 4then will I give you the rain in its season, and the land shall produce its fruits, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5And your threshing time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seed time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full; and ye shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your land. 6And I will give peace in your land, and ye shall sleep, and none [shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land, 7and ye shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter. 8And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase tens of thousands; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9And I will look upon you, and increase you, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10And ye shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for the new. 11And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you; 12and I will walk among you, and be your God, and ye shall be my people. 13I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where ye were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly. 14But if ye will not hearken to me, nor obey these my ordinances, 15but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that ye should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant, 16then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and ye shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them. 17And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and ye shall flee, no one pursuing you. 18And if ye still refuse to hearken to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times for your sins. 19And I will break down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth as it were brass. 20And your strength shall be in vain; and your land shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its fruit. 21And if after this ye should walk perversely, and not be willing to obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues according to your sins. 22And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate. 23And if hereupon ye are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me, 24I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will smite you seven times for your sins. 25And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant, and ye shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies. 26When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. 27And if hereupon ye will not obey me, but walk perversely towards me, 28then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you sevenfold according to your sins. 29And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30And I will render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you. 31And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savour of your sacrifices. 32And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder at it. 33And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate. 34Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation. 35And ye shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your sabbaths, when ye dwelt in it. 36And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none pursues them. 37And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and ye shall not be able to withstand your enemies. 38And ye shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you. 39And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume away. 40And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before me, 41and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the punishment of] their sins. 42And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraam will I remember. 43And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is deserted through them: and they shall accept [the punishment of] their iniquities, because they neglected my judgments, and in their soul loathed my ordinances. 44And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break my covenant made with them; for I am the Lord their God. 45And I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nations, to be their God; I am the Lord. 46These are my judgments and my ordinances, and the law which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the mount Sina, by the hand of Moses. Chapter 271And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord, 3the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be—his valuation shall be fifty didrachms of silver by the standard of the sanctuary. 4And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachms. 5And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachms, and of a female ten didrachms. 6And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachms, and of a female, three didrachms of silver. 7And if from sixty years [old] and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachms of silver, and if a female, ten didrachms. 8And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him. 9And if it be from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it shall be holy. 10He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy. 11And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest. 12And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand. 13And if [the worshipper] will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value. 14And whatsoever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand. 15And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation, and it shall be his. 16And if a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty didrachms of silver for a homer of barley. 17And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation. 18And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the [next] year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation. 19And if he that sanctified the field would redeem it, he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be his. 20And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it. 21But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it. 22And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession, 23the priest shall reckon to him the full valuation from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day [as] holy to the Lord. 24And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was. 25And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli. 26And every first-born which shall be produced among thy cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's. 27But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation. 28And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord. 29And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death. 30Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord. 31And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his. 32And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord. 33Thou shalt not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if thou shouldest at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed. 34These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 28:1–6(MT: 29)
MT Psalm 29 = LXX Psalm 28 (standard offset).
1For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. 2I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me. 3O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and thou didst heal me. 4O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from Hades, thou hast delivered me from [among] them that go down to the pit. 5Sing to the Lord, ye his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness. 6For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 10:22–25
22The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches [him], and grief of heart shall not be added to [it]. 23A fool does mischief in sport; but wisdom brings forth prudence for a man. 24The ungodly is engulphed in destruction; but the desire of the righteous is acceptable. 25When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes for ever.
New TestamentKing James Version
Mark 7:1–13
1Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. 3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. 5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
