The Law of Peace Offerings
1 'Now if his offering is a (C1)sacrifice of peace offerings, if he is going to offer from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it (C2)without defect before the LORD.2 'And (C1)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (C2)slaughter it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar.3 'From the sacrifice of the peace offerings he shall then present an offering by fire to the LORD, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the (F1)lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys.5 'Then (C1)Aaron's sons shall offer it up in smoke on the altar (C2)on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire; (C3)it is an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD.6 'But if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD is from the flock, he shall offer it, male or female, (C1)without defect.7 'If he is going to offer (C1)a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it (C2)before the LORD,8 and (C1)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and (C2)slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron's sons shall (C3)sprinkle its blood around on the altar.9 'From the (C1)sacrifice of peace offerings he shall then bring as an offering by fire to the LORD, its fat, the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,10 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the (F1)lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (C1)with the kidneys.11 'Then the priest shall offer it up in smoke (C1)on the altar as (C2)food, an offering by fire to the LORD.
12 'Now if his offering is (C1)a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD,13 and he shall lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting, and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.14 'From it he shall present his offering as an offering by fire to the LORD, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,15 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the (F1)lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (C1)with the kidneys.16 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire as a soothing aroma; (C1)all fat is the LORD'S.17 'It is a (C1)permanent statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places: you shall not eat any fat (C2)or any blood.'"
The Law of Sin Offerings
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If a person sins (C1)unintentionally in any of the (F1)things which the LORD has (C2)commanded not to be done, and commits any of them,3 (C1)if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then he is to offer to the LORD a (F1)bull without defect as a sin offering for his sin which he has (F2)committed.4 'He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the LORD, and (C1)he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter the bull before the LORD.5 'Then the (C1)anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting,6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, in front of (C1)the veil of the sanctuary.7 'The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of (C1)the altar of fragrant incense which is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all 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 doorway of the tent of meeting.8 'And (C1)he shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,9 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the (F1)lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (C1)with the kidneys10 (just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings); and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.11 'But (C1)the hide of the bull and all its flesh, along with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its refuse,12 (F1)that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to (C1)a clean place outside the camp where the fatty ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the fatty ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13 '(C1)Now if the entire congregation of Israel does wrong unintentionally and the matter (F1)escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the (F2)things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty;14 (C1)when the sin (F1)which they have (F2)committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer (C2)a (F3)bull of the herd as a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting.15 'Then (C1)the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be slaughtered (C2)before the LORD.16 'Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting;17 and (C1)the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil.18 'He shall then put some of the blood on the horns of (C1)the altar which is before the LORD (F1)in the tent of meeting; and all the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.19 'And (C1)he shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar.20 'He shall also do with the bull just as he did with (C1)the bull of the sin offering; he shall do the same with it. So (C2)the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.21 'Then he is to bring the bull out to a place outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull; it is (C1)the sin offering for the assembly.
22 'When (C1)a leader (C2)sins and unintentionally does any of (F1)the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty,23 (F1)(C1)if his sin (F2)which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a (F3)(C2)goat, (C3)a male without defect.24 'And he shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering.25 'Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on (C1)the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.26 'And he shall offer (C1)all its fat up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So (C2)the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 'Now if (F1)anyone of the (F2)common people sins (C1)unintentionally by doing any of the (F3)things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty,28 (F1)(C1)if his sin which he has (F2)committed is made known to him, then he shall bring as his offering a (F3)(C2)goat, a (C3)female without defect, for his sin which he has (F2)committed.29 'And (C1)he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and (C2)slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.30 'The priest shall then take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of (C1)the altar of burnt offering; and (C2)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.31 '(C1)Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as (C2)a soothing aroma to the LORD. So the priest shall make atonement for him, (F1)and he will be forgiven.
32 'But if he brings (C1)a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect.33 'And (C1)he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering (C2)in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering.34 'And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of (C1)the altar of burnt offering, and (C2)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.35 'Then he shall remove (C1)all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer (F1)it up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the LORD. So (C2)the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin which he has (F2)committed, and he will be forgiven.
The Law of Guilt Offerings
1 'Now if a person sins after he hears a (F1)public (C1)order to testify when he is a witness, whether he has seen or otherwise known, if he does not tell it, then he will bear his punishment.2 'Or if a person touches (C1)any unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or a carcass of unclean swarming things, though it is hidden from him and he is unclean, then he will be guilty.3 'Or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever sort his uncleanness may be with which he becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to know it, he will be guilty.4 'Or if a person (C1)swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, in whatever matter people speak thoughtlessly with an oath, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to know it, he will be guilty of one of these things.5 'So it shall be when he becomes guilty of one of these things, that he shall (C1)confess that in which he has sinned.6 'He shall also bring his guilt offering to the LORD for his sin which he has (F1)committed, (C1)a female from the flock, a lamb or a (F2)goat as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.
7 'But if (F1)he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the LORD his guilt offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves or two young doves, (C1)one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.8 'He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer that which is for the sin offering, and shall pinch off its head at the front of its neck, but he (C1)shall not sever it.9 'He shall also sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering (C1)on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out (C2)at the base of the altar: it is a sin offering.10 'The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering (C1)according to the ordinance. (C2)So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has (F1)committed, and it will be forgiven him.
11 'But (C1)if his (F1)means are insufficient for two turtledoves or two young doves, then for his offering for that which he has sinned, he shall bring the tenth of an (F2)ephah of fine flour as a sin offering; (C2)he shall not put oil on it or place incense on it, for it is a sin offering.12 'He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and offer it up in smoke on the altar, (F1)with the offerings of the LORD by fire: it is a sin offering.13 'So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has (F1)committed from (C1)one of these, and it will be forgiven him; then (C2)the rest shall become the priest's, like the grain offering.'"
14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,15 "(C1)If a person acts unfaithfully and sins (C2)unintentionally against the LORD'S holy things, then he shall bring his (C3)guilt offering to the LORD: (C4)a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment in silver by shekels, in terms of the (C5)shekel of the sanctuary, as a guilt offering.16 "And (C1)he shall make restitution for that which he has sinned against the holy thing, and shall add to it a fifth part of it and give it to the priest. (C2)The priest shall then make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven him.
17 "Now if a person sins and does any of the things (F1)which the LORD has commanded not to be done, (C1)though he was unaware, he is still guilty and shall bear his punishment.18 "He is then to bring to the priest (C1)a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he committed (C2)unintentionally and did not know it, and it will be forgiven him.19 "It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD."
Mark 5:21-43
Chapter 5
21 (C1)When Jesus had crossed over again in (C2)the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and He (F1)stayed (C3)by the seashore.22 (C1)And one of (C2)the synagogue (F1)officials, named Jairus, (*)came, and upon seeing Him, (*)fell at His feet23 and (*)pleaded with Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and (C1)lay Your hands on her, so that she will (F1)get well and live."24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him.
25 A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse—27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His (F1)cloak.28 For she had been saying to herself, "If I just touch His garments, I will (F1)get well."29 And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her (C1)disease.30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that (C1)power from Him had gone out, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My garments?"31 And His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"32 And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.34 And He said to her, "Daughter, (C1)your faith has (F1)made you well; (C2)go in peace and be cured of your (C3)disease."
35 While He was still speaking, people (*)came from the house of the (C1)synagogue official, saying, "Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher further?"36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, (*)said to the (C1)synagogue official, "(C2)Do not be afraid, only (F1)believe."37 And He allowed no one to accompany Him except (C1)Peter, (F1)James, and John the brother of (F1)James.38 They (*)came to the house of the (C1)synagogue official, and He (*)saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.39 And after entering, He (*)said to them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child has not died, but is asleep."40 And they began laughing at Him. But putting them all outside, He (*)took along the child's father and mother and His own companions, and (*)entered the room where the child was in bed.41 And taking the child by the hand, He (*)said to her, "Talitha, kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, (C1)I say to you, get up!").42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astonished.43 And He (C1)gave them strict orders that no one was to know about this, and He told them to have something given her to eat.
