¹‘Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering (it is most holy): ²In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering. And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar. ³And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, ⁴the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; ⁵and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lᴏʀᴅ. It is a trespass offering. ⁶Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. ⁷The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. ⁸And the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. ⁹Also every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in the covered pan, or in a pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it. ¹⁰Every grain offering, whether mixed with oil, or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to one as much as the other. ¹¹‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the Lᴏʀᴅ: ¹²If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil. ¹³Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering. ¹⁴And from it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the Lᴏʀᴅ. It shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering. ¹⁵‘The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until morning. ¹⁶But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice; but on the next day the remainder of it also may be eaten; ¹⁷the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire. ¹⁸And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him; it shall be an abomination to him who offers it, and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt. ¹⁹‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. And as for the clean flesh, all who are clean may eat of it. ²⁰But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lᴏʀᴅ, while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from his people. ²¹Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing, such as human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any abominable unclean thing, and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lᴏʀᴅ, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ” ²²And the Lᴏʀᴅ spoke to Moses, saying, ²³“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘You shall not eat any fat, of ox or sheep or goat. ²⁴And the fat of an animal that dies naturally, and the fat of what is torn by wild beasts, may be used in any other way; but you shall by no means eat it. ²⁵For whoever eats the fat of the animal of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lᴏʀᴅ, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people. ²⁶Moreover you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether of bird or beast. ²⁷Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ” ²⁸Then the Lᴏʀᴅ spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lᴏʀᴅ shall bring his offering to the Lᴏʀᴅ from the sacrifice of his peace offering. ³⁰His own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lᴏʀᴅ. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lᴏʀᴅ. ³¹And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. ³²Also the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part. ³⁴For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ” ³⁵This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, from the offerings made by fire to the Lᴏʀᴅ, on the day when Moses presented them to minister to the Lᴏʀᴅ as priests. ³⁶The Lᴏʀᴅ commanded this to be given to them by the children of Israel, on the day that He anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations. ³⁷This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecrations, and the sacrifice of the peace offering, ³⁸which the Lᴏʀᴅ commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when He commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the Lᴏʀᴅ in the Wilderness of Sinai.

¹A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lᴏʀᴅ concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O Lᴏʀᴅ my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me, ²Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. ³O Lᴏʀᴅ my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands, ⁴If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause, ⁵Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah ⁶Arise, O Lᴏʀᴅ, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded! ⁷So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high. ⁸The Lᴏʀᴅ shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lᴏʀᴅ, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me. ⁹Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds. ¹⁰My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart. ¹¹God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day. ¹²If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready. ¹³He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts. ¹⁴Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. ¹⁵He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made. ¹⁶His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown. ¹⁷I will praise the Lᴏʀᴅ according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lᴏʀᴅ Most High.

¹To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. O Lᴏʀᴅ, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! ²Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. ³When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, ⁴What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? ⁵For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. ⁶You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, ⁷All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field, ⁸The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. ⁹O Lᴏʀᴅ, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

¹A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. ²The rich and the poor have this in common, The Lᴏʀᴅ is the maker of them all. ³A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished. ⁴By humility and the fear of the Lᴏʀᴅ Are riches and honor and life. ⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards his soul will be far from them. ⁶Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. ⁷The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender. ⁸He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail. ⁹He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor. ¹⁰Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease. ¹¹He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend. ¹²The eyes of the Lᴏʀᴅ preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the faithless. ¹³The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!” ¹⁴The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; He who is abhorred by the Lᴏʀᴅ will fall there. ¹⁵Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him. ¹⁶He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty. ¹⁷Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge; ¹⁸For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips, ¹⁹So that your trust may be in the Lᴏʀᴅ; I have instructed you today, even you. ²⁰Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, ²¹That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you? ²²Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate; ²³For the Lᴏʀᴅ will plead their cause, And plunder the soul of those who plunder them. ²⁴Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go, ²⁵Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul. ²⁶Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who is surety for debts; ²⁷If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you? ²⁸Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set. ²⁹Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.

¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, ³remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, ⁴knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. ⁵For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. ⁶And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, ⁷so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. ⁸For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. ⁹For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, ¹⁰and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
