Numbers 6

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah,3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

5 All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6 All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body.7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his head.8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto Jehovah.

9 And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting:11 and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.12 And he shall separate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13 And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting:14 and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings,15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings.16 And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:17 and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.18 And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings.19 And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven the head of his separation;20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, and of his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.

22 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,

24 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:

25 Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Psalm 40

1 I waited patiently for Jehovah;2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:4 Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,5 Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,6 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;7 Then said I, Lo, I am come;8 I delight to do thy will, O my God;9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about;13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:17 But I am poor and needy;

Psalm 41

1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor:2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,3 Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me:5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying,6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood;7 All that hate me whisper together against me;8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him;9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,11 By this I know that thou delightest in me,12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

Song of Solomon 4

1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair;2 Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes that are newly shorn,3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armory,5 Thy two breasts are like two fawns6 Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away,7 Thou art all fair, my love;8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride;10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my bride!11 Thy lips, O my bride, drop as the honeycomb:12 A garden shut up is my sister, my bride;13 Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits;14 Spikenard and saffron,15 Thou art a fountain of gardens,16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south;

Hebrews 4

1 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said,

4 For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;5 and in this place again,

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,7 he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before),

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.9 There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.10 For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.14 Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.15 For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
