Section 1

Deuteronomy 9:25-10:9

14 verses

Deuteronomy Chapter 9

25So I fell down before ForeverOne the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because ForeverOne had said he would destroy you.

26I prayed to ForeverOne, and said, "Lord ForeverOne, don't destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don't look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin, 28lest the land you brought us out from say, 'Because ForeverOne was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.' 29Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."

Deuteronomy Chapter 10

1At that time ForeverOne said to me, "Cut two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark." 3So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tables of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.

4He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which ForeverOne spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and ForeverOne gave them to me.

5I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as ForeverOne commanded me.

6(The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place.

7From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

8At that time ForeverOne set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of ForeverOne, to stand before ForeverOne to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

9Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; ForeverOne is his inheritance, according as ForeverOne your God spoke to him.)

Section 2

Ezekiel 45:13-46:10

23 verses

Ezekiel Chapter 45

13This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley; 14and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;) 15and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel - for a meal offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says the Lord ForeverOne.

16All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.

17It shall be the prince's part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.

18Thus says the Lord ForeverOne: In the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish; and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.

19The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.

20So you shall do on the seventh [day] of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple: so you shall make atonement for the house.

21In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

22On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.

23The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to ForeverOne, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.

24He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

25In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meal offering, and according to the oil.

Ezekiel Chapter 46

1Thus says the Lord ForeverOne: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before ForeverOne on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

4The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to ForeverOne shall be on the Sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish; 5and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish: 7and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.

9But when the people of the land shall come before ForeverOne in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

Section 3

Ecclesiastes 2:12-26

15 verses

Ecclesiastes Chapter 2

12I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king's successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

13Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

14The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness - and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

15Then I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity.

16For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory for ever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

17So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

18I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

19Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

20Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

21For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22For what has a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

23For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

24There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

25For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

26For to the man who pleases him, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Section 4

Hebrews 13

25 verses

Hebrews Chapter 13

1Let brotherly love continue.

2Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

3Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

4Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

5Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you." 6So that with good courage we say, "The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?" 7Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

8Jesus AnointedOne is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

9Don't be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

10We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

11For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

12Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

13So let's go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.

14For we don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

15Through him, then, let's offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

16But don't forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

18Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

19I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

20Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus, 21make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus AnointedOne, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

22But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation; for I have written to you in few words.

23Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

24Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.

25Grace be with you all. Amen.
