Exodus 19:1–20:26
1And in the third month of the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came into the wilderness of Sina. 2And they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and there Israel encamped before the mountain. 3And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the mountain, saying, These things shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report them to the children of Israel. 4Ye have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself. 5And now if ye will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, ye shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine. 6And ye shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shalt thou speak to the children of Israel. 7And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these words, which God appointed them. 8And all the people answered with one accord, and said, All things that God has spoken, we will do and hearken to: and Moses reported these words to God. 9And the Lord said to Moses, Lo! I come to thee in a pillar of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever: and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord. 10And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments. 11And let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon mount Sina before all the people. 12And thou shalt separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of it: every one that touches the mountain shall surely die. 13A hand shall not touch it, for [every one that touches] shall be stoned with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man, it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain. 14And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes. 15And he said to the people, Be ready: for three days come not near to a woman. 16And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew nigh, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled. 17And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the mountain. 18The mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed. 19And the sounds of the trumpet were waxing very much louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice. 20And the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. 21And God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people, lest at any time they draw nigh to God to gaze, and a multitude of them fall. 22And let the priests that draw nigh to the Lord God sanctify themselves, lest he destroy some of them. 23And Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount of Sina, for thou hast solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it. 24And the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up thou and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them. 25And Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them. Chapter 201And the Lord spoke all these words, saying: 2I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3Thou shalt have no other gods beside me. 4Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth. 5Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me, 6and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments. 7Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain. 8Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. 9Six days thou shalt labour, and shalt perform all thy work. 10But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns with thee. 11For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee. 13Thou shalt not commit adultery. 14Thou shalt not steal. 15Thou shalt not kill. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour. 18And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off, 19and said to Moses, Speak thou to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die. 20And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be among you, that ye sin not. 21And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was. 22And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven. 23Ye shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make to yourselves. 24Ye shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to thee and bless thee. 25And if thou wilt make to me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build them hewn [stones]; for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them, and they are defiled. 26Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 17:37–45(MT: 18)
MT Psalm 18 = LXX Psalm 17 (standard offset).
37Thou hast made room for my goings under me, and my footsteps did not fail. 38I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed. 39I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet. 40For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me. 41And thou hast made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me. 42They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them. 43I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind. 44Deliver me from the gainsayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me, 45at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 6:20–25
20[My] son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the ordinances of thy mother: 21but bind them upon thy soul continually, and hang them as a chain about thy neck. 22Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; and when thou sleepest let it keep thee; that it may talk with thee when thou wakest. 23For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: 24to keep thee continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue. 25Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 22:23–46
23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27And last of all the woman died also. 28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
