Exodus 23:1–24:18
1You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness. 2You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment. 3And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment. 4And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him. 5And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him. 6You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment. 7You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts. 8And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words. 9And you⌃ shall not afflict a stranger, for you⌃ know the heart of a stranger; for you⌃ were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt. 10Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it. 11But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard. 12Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed. 13Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you⌃ shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth. 14Keep you⌃ a feast to me three times in the year. 15Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you⌃ shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty. 16And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field. 17Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God. 18For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning. 19You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk. 20And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you. 21Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him. 22If you⌃ will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you⌃ shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you⌃ shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you⌃ speak to the children of Israel, If you⌃ shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries. 23For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them. 24You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars. 25And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you. 26There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days. 27And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee. 28And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you. 29I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you. 30By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth. 31And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you. 32You shall make no covenant with them and their gods. 33And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offense to you. Chapter 241And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, you and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance. 2And Moses alone shall draw near to God; and they shall not draw near, and the people shall not come up with them. 3And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient. 4And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. 5And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God. 6And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar. 7And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatever the Lord has spoken we will do and listen therein. 8And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words. 9And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel. 10And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity. 11And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink. 12And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give you the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws. 13And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God. 14And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them. 15And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. 16And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud. 17And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel. 18And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 18:1–6(MT: 19)
MT Psalm 19 = LXX Psalm 18 (standard offset).
1(19) For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands. 2Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge. 3There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard. 4Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. 5In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. 6His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 6:30–31
30It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul: 31but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 23:23–39
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
