Exodus 17.0:

17

Exodus 17.1: 1 All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

Exodus 17.2: 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.”

Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”

Exodus 17.3: 3 The people were thirsty for water there; so the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”

Exodus 17.4: 4 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

Exodus 17.5: 5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.

Exodus 17.6: 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Exodus 17.7: 7 He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

Exodus 17.8: 8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

Exodus 17.9: 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.”

Exodus 17.10: 10 So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Exodus 17.11: 11 When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

Exodus 17.12: 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset.

Exodus 17.13: 13 Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exodus 17.14: 14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.”

Exodus 17.15: 15 Moses built an altar, and called its name “Yahweh our Banner”.

Exodus 17.16: 16 He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”

Leviticus 13.0:

13

Leviticus 13.1: 1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Leviticus 13.2: 2 “When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.

Leviticus 13.3: 3 The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.

Leviticus 13.4: 4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

Leviticus 13.5: 5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.

Leviticus 13.6: 6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

Leviticus 13.7: 7 But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.

Leviticus 13.8: 8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.

Leviticus 13.9: 9 “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;

Leviticus 13.10: 10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,

Leviticus 13.11: 11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.

Leviticus 13.12: 12 “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,

Leviticus 13.13: 13 then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.

Leviticus 13.14: 14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.

Leviticus 13.15: 15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.

Leviticus 13.16: 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.

Leviticus 13.17: 17 The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.18: 18 “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,

Leviticus 13.19: 19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.

Leviticus 13.20: 20 The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.

Leviticus 13.21: 21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

Leviticus 13.22: 22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.

Leviticus 13.23: 23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Leviticus 13.24: 24 “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,

Leviticus 13.25: 25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

Leviticus 13.26: 26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

Leviticus 13.27: 27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

Leviticus 13.28: 28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.

Leviticus 13.29: 29 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,

Leviticus 13.30: 30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

Leviticus 13.31: 31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.

Leviticus 13.32: 32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,

Leviticus 13.33: 33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days.

Leviticus 13.34: 34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.

Leviticus 13.35: 35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,

Leviticus 13.36: 36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

Leviticus 13.37: 37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.

Leviticus 13.38: 38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,

Leviticus 13.39: 39 then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.40: 40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.41: 41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.

Leviticus 13.42: 42 But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.

Leviticus 13.43: 43 Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,

Leviticus 13.44: 44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.

Leviticus 13.45: 45 “The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

Leviticus 13.46: 46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.

Leviticus 13.47: 47 “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;

Leviticus 13.48: 48 whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather;

Leviticus 13.49: 49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.

Leviticus 13.50: 50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.

Leviticus 13.51: 51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.

Leviticus 13.52: 52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.

Leviticus 13.53: 53 “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;

Leviticus 13.54: 54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.

Leviticus 13.55: 55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.

Leviticus 13.56: 56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

Leviticus 13.57: 57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is.

Leviticus 13.58: 58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”

Leviticus 13.59: 59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

In a day of salvation I helped you.”

Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

2 Corinthians 6.3: 3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

2 Corinthians 6.4: 4 but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

2 Corinthians 6.5: 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

2 Corinthians 6.6: 6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

2 Corinthians 6.7: 7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

2 Corinthians 6.8: 8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

2 Corinthians 6.9: 9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;

2 Corinthians 6.15: 15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.2: 2 And I said, Here am I, Lord. And I stood up upon my feet.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.3: 3 Then said he to me, In the bush I did manifestly reveal myself, and talked with Moses, when my people were in bondage in Egypt:

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.4: 4 and I sent him, and he led my people out of Egypt; and I brought him up to the mount of Sinai, where I held him by me for many days;

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.5: 5 and told him many wondrous things, and showed him the secrets of the times, and the end of the seasons; and commanded him, saying,

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.6: 6 These words shall you publish openly, and these shall you hide.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.7: 7 And now I say to you,

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.8: 8 Lay up in your heart the signs that I have showed, and the dreams that you have seen, and the interpretations which you have heard:

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.9: 9 for you shall be taken away from men, and from henceforth you shall remain with my Son, and with such as be like you, until the times be ended.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.10: 10 For the world has lost its youth, and the times begin to wax old.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.11: 11 For the world is divided into twelve parts, and ten parts of it are gone already, even the half of the tenth part:

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.12: 12 and there remain of it two parts after the middle of the tenth part.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.13: 13 Now therefore set your house in order, and reprove your people, comfort the lowly among them, and instruct such of them as be wise, and now renounce the life that is corruptible,

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.14: 14 and let go from the mortal thoughts, cast away from you the burdens of man, put off now your weak nature,

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.15: 15 and lay aside the thoughts that are most grievous to you, and haste you to remove from these times.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.16: 16 For yet worse evils than those which you have seen happen shall be done hereafter.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.17: 17 For look, how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon those who dwell therein.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.18: 18 For the truth will withdraw itself further off, and falsehood will be hard at hand: for now hastens the eagle to come, which you saw in vision.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.19: 19 Then answered I and said, I will speak before you, O Lord.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.20: 20 Behold, I will go, as you have commanded me, and reprove the people that now be: but those who shall be born afterward, who shall admonish them? for the world is set in darkness, and those who dwell therein are without light.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.21: 21 For your law is burned, therefore no man knows the things that are done of you, or the works that shall be done.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.22: 22 But if I have found favor before you, send the Holy Spirit to me, and I shall write all that has been done in the world since the beginning, even the things that were written in your law, that men may be able to find the path, and that they which would live in the latter days may live.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.23: 23 And he answered me and said, Go your way, gather the people together, and say to them, that they seek you not for forty days.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.24: 24 But look you prepare you many tablets, and take with you Sarea, Dabria, Selemia, Ethanus, and Asiel, these five, which are ready to write swiftly;

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.25: 25 and come here, and I shall light a lamp of understanding in your heart, which shall not be put out, till the things be ended which you shall write.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.26: 26 And when you have done, some things shall you publish openly, and some things shall you deliver in secret to the wise: tomorrow this hour shall you begin to write.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.27: 27 Then went I forth, as he commanded me, and gathered all the people together, and said,

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.28: 28 Hear these words, O Israel.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.29: 29 Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in Egypt, and they were delivered from thence,

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.30: 30 and received the law of life, which they kept not, which you° also have transgressed after them.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.31: 31 Then was the land, even the land of Sion, given you for a possession: but you° yourselves, and your fathers, have done unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Most High commanded you.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.32: 32 And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you for a while the thing that he had given you.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.33: 33 And now you° are here, and your kindred are among you.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.34: 34 Therefore if so be that you° will rule over your own understanding, and instruct your hearts, you° shall be kept alive, and after death you° shall obtain mercy.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.35: 35 For after death shall the judgement come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of the righteous be manifest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.36: 36 Let no man therefore come to me now, nor seek after me these forty days.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.37: 37 So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went forth into the field, and remained there.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.38: 38 And it came to pass on the next day that, behold, a voice called me, saying, Esdras, open your mouth, and drink what I give you to drink.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.39: 39 Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, there was reached to me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the color of it was like fire.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.40: 40 And I took it, and drank: and when I had drunk of it, my heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, for my spirit retained its memory:

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.41: 41 and my mouth was opened, and shut no more.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.42: 42 The Most High gave understanding to the five men, and they wrote by course the things that were told them, in characters which they knew not, and they sat forty days: now they wrote in the day-time, and at night they ate bread.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.43: 43 As for me, I spoke in the day, and by night I held not my tongue.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.44: 44 So in forty days were written fourscore and fourteen books.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.45: 45 And it came to pass, when the forty days were fulfilled, that the Most High spoke to me, saying, The first that you have written publish openly, and let the worthy and unworthy read it:

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.46: 46 but keep the seventy last, that you may deliver them to such as be wise among your people:

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.47: 47 for in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.

2 Esdras (Latin) 14.48: 48 And I did so.

crucify

Crucify means to execute someone by nailing them to a cross with metal spikes. Their hands are stretched out on the crossbeam with spikes driven through their wrists or hands. Their feet or ankles are attached to a cross with a metal spike. The weight of the victim’s body tends to force the air out of his lungs. To rise up to breathe, the victim has to put weight on the wounds, and use a lot of strength. The victim is nailed to the cross while the cross is on the ground, then the cross is raised up and dropped into a hole, thus jarring the wounds. Before crucifixion, the victim was usually whipped with a Roman cat of nine tails, which had bits of glass and metal tied to its ends. This caused chunks of flesh to be removed and open wounds to be placed against the raw wood of the cross. The victim was made to carry the heavy crossbeam of his cross from the place of judgment to the place of crucifixion, but often was physically unable after the scourging, so another person would be pressed into involuntary service to carry the cross for him. Roman crucifixion was generally done totally naked to maximize both shame and discomfort. Eventually, the pain, weakness, dehydration, and exhaustion of the muscles needed to breathe make breathing impossible, and the victim suffocates.

cubit

A cubit is a unit of linear measure, from the elbow to the tip of the longest finger of a man. This unit is commonly converted to 0.46 meters or 18 inches, although that varies with height of the man doing the measurement.

It comes from the Hebrew Gey-Hinnom, literally “valley of Hinnom.” This word originated as the name for a place south of the old city of Jerusalem where the city’s rubbish was burned. At one time, live babies were thrown crying into the fire under the arms of the idol, Moloch, to die there. This place was so despised by the people after the righteous King Josiah abolished this hideous practice that it was made into a garbage heap. Bodies of diseased animals and executed criminals were thrown there and burned.
