4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
1 Tim 6:17-19
17 (Ro 11:20; 1Ti 4:10) Command those who are rich in this world that they
not be conceited, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
who richly gives us all things to enjoy.
18 (Ro 12:8; 12:13) Command that they do good, that they be rich
in good works, generous, willing to share,
19 (Lk 16:9; 1Ti 6:12) and laying up in store for themselves a good
foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of eternal life.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded,
nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly
all things to enjoy;
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works,
ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time
to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Eternal Faithfulness
Ps 89:1-8
PSALMS 89
A Contemplative Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;
with my mouth I will make known
Your faithfulness to all generations.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For I have said,
"Mercy shall be built up forever;
Your faithfulness shall be
established in the heavens."
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You have said,
"I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
I have sworn to David my servant:
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) 'Your offspring I will establish forever,
and build up your throne for all generations.' " Selah
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Let the heavens praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For who in the skies can
be compared to the Lord?
Who among the heavenly sons is like the Lord?
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) God is greatly to be feared
in the assembly of the holy ones
and awesome to all those who surround Him.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) O Lord God of Hosts,
who is a mighty Lord like You,
with Your faithfulness all around You?
1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever:
With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever:
Thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen,
I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever,
And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD:
Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven
Can be compared unto the LORD?
Who among the sons of the mighty
Can be likened unto the LORD?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
And to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee?
Or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Leviticus 15
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath
a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
[3] And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run
with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his
uncleanness.
[4] Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every
thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
[5] And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
[6] And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even.
[7] And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
[8] And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
[9] And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be
unclean.
[10] And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean
until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
[11] And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his
hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and
be unclean until the even.
[12] And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall
be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
[13] And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall
number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and
bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
[14] And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
[15] And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him
before the LORD for his issue.
[16] And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash
all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
[17] And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation,
shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
[18] The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they
shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
[19] And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she
shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean
until the even.
[20] And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean:
every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
[21] And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
[22] And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
[23] And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he
toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
[24] And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he
shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be
unclean.
[25] And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of
her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days
of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she
shall be unclean.
[26] Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her
as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be
unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
[27] And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
[28] But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself
seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
[29] And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young
pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
[30] And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before
the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
[31] Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness;
that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that
is among them.
[32] This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth
from him, and is defiled therewith;
[33] And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue,
of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is
unclean.

2) Our Daily Bread for 17 February 2026 titled
Belle's Belief by Dave Branon
John 3:1-6, 9, 14-16, 36
Jesus and Nicodemus
1 (Jn 19:39) There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews.
2 (Ac 2:22; 10:38) He came to Jesus by night and said to Him,
"Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God.
For no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."
3 (Jn 1:13; 3:5-6) Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly I say to you,
unless a man is born again,
[Gk. a litra, or half a liter. he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old?
Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?”
5 (Ac 2:38; Eze 36:25-27; Mk 16:16) Jesus answered, "Truly, truly
I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 (Ge 6:12; Job 14:4) That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
9 (Jn 6:52; 6:60) Nicodemus said to Him, "How can this be?"
14 (Jn 8:28) Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 (Jn 3:16; 3:36) that whoever believes in Him should not perish,
but may have eternal life.
16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1-18) "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
[1] There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
[2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that
thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that
thou doest, except God be with him.
[3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he
enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
[5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.
[9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
[14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
Son of man be lifted up:
[15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He Who Comes From Heaven
36 (Jn 5:24; 3:15-16) He who believes in the Son has eternal life.
He who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God
remains on him.
[36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
him.
Belle wanted nothing to do with her parents' faith in Jesus. In college, she
proclaimed herself an agnostic and sought to live without God. But a breakup
with her boyfriend and growing depression sent her on a downward spiral. She
thought of ending her life.
In those depths of despair, she thought of her parents' joy in Christ and,
despite her struggles, eventually trusted Jesus as Savior. Later, she heard a
man speak about a people group in China who'd never heard the gospel. She
wanted to go there to tell them, but some people discouraged her because of
the danger. She went anyway. Together with a young man she met in college
and whom she later married, Belle spent the rest of her life taking the gospel
to people in China and Thailand. Thousands of people trusted Jesus, and the
legacy of this woman, Isobel Kuhn, lives on in those lands.
Who gave a young woman a new life and hope and walked with her as she dealt
with difficult life challenges? Jesus.
Are you wondering what life is about? Perhaps questioning your existence?
Turn to Christ-"God's one and only son" (John 3:18) who died for you
(Romans 5:8). He loves you enough to provide life that lasts forever
(John 3:16). Yes, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life" (3:36).
And when we believe in Him, as Belle did, He will be with us as we face
life's challenges and help us extend His love to others.
Reflect & Pray
How does God provide purpose for your life?
What does it mean for you to find hope in Christ?
Dear Jesus, thank You for the purpose and plans You have for me!

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 3 - All I need
Phil 4:19
19 But my God shall supply your every need according
to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
"But Mom, I really need these!" The strident voice of a teenage girl
rose above the hum of voices in the department store. The item in question
was a pair of $80 blue Jeans, faded, bleached, and torn in the right knee.
Style . Fashion. Self-Image. The girl may not have needed the jeans to
enhance her wardrobe, but she obviously felt she needed then to
enhance her acceptability among her peers.
Phillippains 4:19 promises that God "shall supply your every need according
to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." But just what needs does this
promise cover? My need for a bigger house? A better job?
An $80 pair of Calvin Kleins?
Certainly God knows and cares about the physical, superficial need of our
lives, and he provides what we need to sustain life. But God's priority
goes much deeper than the kind of radial tires we buy or the brand name on
our back pockets. God is interested in eternal values, in spiritual needs, and
he knows what we need in our lives to draw us closer to him.
"Out of his glorious riches in Christ Jesus," God will enrich us spiritually.
The application of Phil 4:19 involves trusting God to know and care about our
real needs, the deep needs of our souls, and allowing him the freedom to
order our circumstances so that those needs are met. When we are bold
enough to pray, "Lord, do whatever is necessary to make me more like
Jesus Christ," our Father delights to answer that prayer and supply our needs.
Application
a) What is the difference between my "Needs" and my "wants"?
b) What spiritual needs can I identify in my life?
c) How can this verse help me keep my own priorities
in line with God's value system?
Leviticus 14
The Law About Leprous Houses
33 The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:
34 (Ge 17:8; Dt 32:49) When you have come into the land of Canaan,
which I am giving to you for a possession, and I put a leprous disease
in a house of the land of your possession,
35 (Ps 91:10; Zec 5:4) then he who owns the house shall come
and tell the priest, "It seems to me there is some disease in the house."
36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house
before the priest goes into it to examine the disease,
so that all that is in the house is not made unclean.
Afterwards, the priest shall go in to examine the house.
37 He shall examine the disease and see if the disease is in the walls
of the house with greenish or reddish spots, which appear to go deeper
than the wall.
38 Then the priest shall go out to the door of the house and close off
the house seven days.
39 The priest shall return on the seventh day
and shall examine and see if the disease has spread in the walls of the house.
40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which
the disease appears and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped all around, and they shall
pour out the plaster that they scrape off
outside the city into an unclean place.
42 And they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones,
and he shall take other plaster and shall plaster the house.
43 If the disease comes again and breaks out in the house after he has taken
away the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered,
44 (Lev 13:51-52) then the priest shall come and examine and see if the
disease has spread in the house. If the disease has spread in the house,
it is a persistent leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
45He shall break down the house, the stones and the timber,
and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them
out of the city into an unclean place.
46 (Nu 19:21-22) Moreover, he who goes into the house
while it is closed off shall be unclean until the evening.
47 And he who sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes,
and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 If the priest comes in and examines it and sees the disease
has not spread in the house after the house was plastered,
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean,
because the disease is healed.
49 (Lev 14:4) He shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet,
and hyssop to cleanse the house.
50 Then he shall kill one of the birds in a clay vessel over running water.
51 He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet,
and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird,
and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 Then he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird,
and with the running water, and with the living bird,
and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.
53 But he shall let the living bird loose outside the city
into the open fields and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law for all manner of leprous sore and scale,
55 and for the disease of a garment, or of a house,
56 (Lev 13:2) and for a swelling, or for a scab, or for a spot,
57 (Lev 10:10) to discern when it is unclean and when it is clean.
This is the law of leprosy.
[33] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[34] When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your
possession;
[35] And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It
seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
[36] Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the
priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not
made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
[37] And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the
walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight
are lower than the wall;
[38] Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and
shut up the house seven days:
[39] And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and,
behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
[40] Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which
the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the
city:
[41] And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they
shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an
unclean place:
[42] And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those
stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
[43] And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he
hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after
it is plaistered;
[44] Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be
spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
[45] And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber
thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out
of the city into an unclean place.
[46] Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up
shall be unclean until the even.
[47] And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that
eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
[48] And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the
plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then
the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
[49] And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop:
[50] And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over
running water:
[51] And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and
the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the
running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
[52] And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the
running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with
the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
[53] But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open
fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
[54] This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
[55] And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
[56] And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
[57] To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of
leprosy.
LEVITICUS 15
The Law About Bodily Discharges
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:
2 (Lev 22:4; Nu 5:2) Speak to the children of Israel,
and say to them: When any man has a discharge out of his body,
his discharge is unclean.
3 This is the instruction for his uncleanness in his discharge,
whether the discharge from his body flows or his body is
stopped up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
4 Every bed on which the man with the discharge lies shall be unclean,
and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.
5 (Lev 11:25; 16:26) Whoever touches the bed shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
6 And whoever sits on anything where the man sat who has the discharge
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.
7 And whoever touches the body of him who has the discharge shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.
8 If the man with the discharge spits on someone who is clean,
then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.
9 Any saddle on which the man with a discharge rides shall be unclean.
10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean
until the evening, and he who carries any of those things shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.
11 Whomever he who has the discharge touches,
and has not rinsed his hands in water,
he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water,
and be unclean until evening.
12 (Lev 6:28; 11:32-33) The earthen vessel that he who has the discharge
touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 (Lev 8:33; 14:8) When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his issue,
then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing,
and wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water, and shall be clean.
14 (Lev 12:8) On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons
and come before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting
and give them to the priest.
15 (Lev 4:26; 14:30-31) And the priest shall offer them,
one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering,
and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his discharge.
16 (Lev 22:4; Dt 23:10-11; Lev 15:5) If any man has a seminal emission,
then he shall wash all his body in water and be unclean until the evening.
17 Every garment and all leather on which there is seminal emission
shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.
18 If a man lies with a woman, and there is an emission of semen,
they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.
19 (Lev 12:2) If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body
is blood, she shall be set apart for seven days; and whoever touches
her shall be unclean until the evening.
20 (Lev 15:4-9) Everything that she lies on in her menstrual impurity
shall be unclean. Also, everything that she sits on shall be unclean.
21 Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself
in water, and be unclean until the evening.
22 Whoever touches anything on which she sits shall wash his clothes
and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
23 Whether it is the bed or anything on which she sits,
when he touches it he shall be unclean until the evening.
24 (Lev 20:18; 18:19) If any man lies with her,
and her menstrual impurity is on him,
he shall be unclean seven days,
and every bed where he lies shall be unclean.
25 (Mt 9:20; Mk 5:25) If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days,
not at the time of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge
beyond the time of her impurity, all the days of the discharge
she shall be in uncleanness, as in the days of her impurity.
She shall be unclean.
26 Every bed that she lies on all the days of her discharge shall be
for impurity, and whatever she sits on shall be unclean,
as the uncleanness of her menstrual impurity.
27 Whoever touches those things shall be unclean
and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water
and be unclean until the evening.
28 (Lev 15:13-15) But if she is cleansed of her discharge,
then she shall count to herself seven days,
and after that she shall be clean.
29 On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves
or two pigeons and bring them to the priest
at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
30 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering
and the other for a burnt offering,
and the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord
for her unclean discharge.
31 (Nu 5:3; 19:13; 19:20) Thus you shall separate
the children of Israel from their uncleanness,
so that they do not die in their uncleanness by defiling
My tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the law for him who has a discharge and for him
who has a seminal emission and thus becomes unclean,
33 and for her who is sick from her menstruation,
and for him who has a discharge, for anyone male or female,
and for the man who lies with a woman who is unclean.

LEVITICUS 14
The Law for Cleansing Lepers
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Lk 17:14; Nu 6:9) This shall be the law of the leper in the day

all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows,

and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.
13 (Ex 29:11; Lev 1:11) Then he shall slaughter the lamb in the place
where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering in the holy

It is most holy.
14 (Ex 29:20; Lev 8:23-24) And the priest shall take some of the blood
of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right

and the grain offering on the altar, and the priest shall
make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 (Lev 12:8; 5:7) But if he is poor and cannot afford so much,
then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering to be waved
to make atonement for him, and one-tenth of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil,
22 and two turtledoves or two pigeons, such as he is able to afford.
The one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
23 (Lev 14:10-11) He shall bring them on the eighth day
for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance
of the tent of meeting before the Lord.
24 The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering,
along with the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them
for a wave offering before the Lord.

and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering
and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed
and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 Next the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm
of his own left hand,
27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger
some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.
28 Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand
on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed,

and on the big toe of his right foot on the place of the blood
of the guilt offering.
29 (Lev 14:18) The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand
he shall pour on the head of him who is to be cleansed to make
atonement for him before the Lord.
30 (Lev 14:22) He shall offer one of the turtledoves or the pigeons,
such as he can afford,
31 even such as he is able to get, one for a sin offering
and the other for a burnt offering, along with the grain offering,
and the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed
before the Lord.
32 (Lev 14:10; 14:21)This is the law for a person who has a leprous
sore who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing.
Leviticus 14
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall
be brought unto the priest:
[3] And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall
look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
[4] Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two
birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
[5] And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an
earthen vessel over running water:
[6] As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood
of the bird that was killed over the running water:
[7] And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy
seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird
loose into the open field.
[8] And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all
his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he
shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
[9] But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off
his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave
off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water,
and he shall be clean.
[10] And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and
one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of
fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
[11] And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to
be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
[12] And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass
offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the
LORD:
[13] And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin
offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering
is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:
[14] And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering,
and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to
be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of
his right foot:
[15] And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the
palm of his own left hand:
[16] And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his
left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before
the LORD:
[17] And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put
upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the
blood of the trespass offering:
[18] And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour
upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him before the LORD.
[19] And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for
him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill
the burnt offering:
[20] And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering
upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall
be clean.
[21] And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb
for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one
tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of
oil;
[22] And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get;
and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
[23] And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the
priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the
LORD.
[24] And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the
log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the
LORD:
[25] And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest
shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the
tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of
his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
[26] And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left
hand:
[27] And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil
that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
[28] And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of
the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood
of the trespass offering:
[29] And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon
the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before
the LORD.
[30] And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons,
such as he can get;
[31] Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall
make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
[32] This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is
not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

it says to those who are under the law,

no flesh will be justified in His sight,

in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

2) Our Daily Bread for 16 February 2025 titled
It Takes Humility by Anne Cetas
Genesis 33:1-10
1 Then Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming and four hundred men with him.
So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
2 He put the female servants and their children in front, then Leah
and her children next, and then Rachel and Joseph last.
3 He went on before them,
bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck
and kissed him, and they wept. 5 When Esau looked up and saw
the women and the children, he said, "Who are those with you?"
Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6 Then the female servants came near, they and their children,
and they bowed down.
7 Leah also with her children came near
and bowed themselves. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near,
and they bowed themselves.
8 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company that I met?"
Jacob answered, "These are to find favour in the sight of my lord."
9 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself."
10 Jacob said, "No, I pray you, if I have now found favuor in your sight,
then receive my gift from my hand. For I have seen your face,
and it is as though I have seen the face of God, with you having received me
favorably.
[1] And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and
with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto
Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
[2] And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her
children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
[3] And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven
times, until he came near to his brother.
[4] And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and
kissed him: and they wept.
[5] And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said,
Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously
given thy servant.
[6] Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed
themselves.
[7] And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and
after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
[8] And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he
said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
[9] And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto
thyself.
[10] And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy
sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy
face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
My cousins, who lived only two miles away when we were growing up, weren't
allowed to interact with my family. They never came to reunions or talked to
us at the local grocery store. Their parents said it was because, back then,
we didn't attend church and we'd be a bad influence on them. What a surprise
when many years later, a cousin attended my eldest brother's funeral! He
approached us one by one and humbly apologised for their attitude.
Our relationship with him began to be restored.
Jacob needed a humble heart to seek restoration with his twin brother, Esau.
Jacob, the second born, had connived against Esau: He stole his brother's
birthright (Genesis 25:19-34) and deceived his elderly father into giving him
the firstborn's blessing (26:34–27:40). Furious, Esau threatened to kill him,
so Jacob had run to another country.
Years later, Jacob wanted to return home but was afraid the deep division
between him and his brother wouldn't be resolved without bloodshed (32:6-8).
When he and Esau finally met, he humbly "bowed down to the ground seven times
as he approached his brother" (33:3). He feared Esau would kill him, but
instead Esau came running "and embraced him" (v. 4).
Whether we've harmed another or have been harmed, it takes humility, openness,
and often much work to heal the brokenness. But God can and will help us.
Reflect & Pray
What relationships in your life might need restoration?
How can you start the process?
Dear Father, please keep me from holding grudges
or becoming bitter and help me forgive others and ask for forgiveness.
Broken relationships can be hard to mend, but
God calls us to be in community with one another. Learn how we can work to
mend relationships by reading this article.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season
Gal 6:9
9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,
for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow
flowers from seeds, Each child took the seed, planted it carefully in the
bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day
for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded,
unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"
he pouted after the first week. "Nothing's gonna grow in there."
We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers.
We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -
immediate response, and when we have to wait,
we become impatient and irritable.
Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good,"
is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church
at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results,
and weariness sets in.
If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it
and move on to a new project.
But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too
soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily
when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in
another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,
"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."
In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has
had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions
are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for
the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.
Application
a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labours have produced no harvest at all?
b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season"
for reaping the harvest?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
1 Cor 13:3
3 If I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned,
and have not love, it profits me nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity,
it profiteth me nothing.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Inexhaustible Strength
Ps 18:30-34
30 As for God, His way has integrity;
the word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in Him.
31 For who is God except the Lord?
Or who is a rock besides our God?
32 It is God who clothes me with strength,
and gives my way integrity.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
and causes me to stand on my high places.
34 He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD?
Or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,
And maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
And setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war,
So that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Leviticus 13
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
[2] When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or a
bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy;
then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the
priests:
[3] And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and
when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be
deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest
shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
[4] If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be
not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the
priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
[5] And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the
plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin;
then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
[6] And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if
the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the
priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his
clothes, and be clean.
[7] But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been
seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
[8] And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then
the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
[9] When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto
the priest;
[10] And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in
the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in
the rising;
[11] It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
[12] And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover
all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot,
wheresoever the priest looketh;
[13] Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have
covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it
is all turned white: he is clean.
[14] But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
[15] And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be
unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
[16] Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall
come unto the priest;
[17] And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into
white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is
clean.
[18] The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is
healed,
[19] And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot,
white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
[20] And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the
skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
[21] But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs
therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then
the priest shall shut him up seven days:
[22] And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
[23] But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a
burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
[24] Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning,
and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish,
or white;
[25] Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the
bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is
a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
[26] But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in
the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat
dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
[27] And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread
much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is
the plague of leprosy.
[28] And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin,
but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall
pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
[29] If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
[30] Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight
deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head
or beard.
[31] And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be
not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it;
then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven
days:
[32] And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and,
behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the
scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;
[33] He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest
shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
[34] And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold,
if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the
skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his
clothes, and be clean.
[35] But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
[36] Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread
in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
[37] But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black
hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest
shall pronounce him clean.
[38] If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots,
even white bright spots;
[39] Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the
skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in
the skin; he is clean.
[40] And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he
clean.
[41] And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward
his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
[42] And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish
sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
[43] Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the
sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the
leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
[44] He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him
utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
[45] And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his
head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry,
Unclean, unclean.
[46] All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he
is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
The Law About Leprous Garments
47 (Jude 1:23) If a garment has a leprous disease,
whether it is a wool or a linen garment,
48 whether it is in the warp or woof of the linen or wool fabric,
or in the leather or anything made of leather,
49 and if the disease is greenish or reddish in the garment,
or in the leather, or in the warp or woof, or in anything made of leather,
it is a leprous disease and shall be shown to the priest.
50 And the priest shall examine the disease, and isolate the infected
article for seven days.
51 (Lev 14:44) And he shall examine the disease on the seventh day.
If the disease has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof,
or in the leather, or in any work that is made of leather,
this is a spreading leprous disease. It is unclean.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof,
wool or linen, or anything of leather that has the disease,
for it is a spreading leprous disease. It shall be burned in the fire.
53 If the priest examines it, and the disease has not spread in the garment,
either in the warp or the woof, or in anything of leather,
54 then the priest shall command that they wash the article
in which the disease appears, and he shall isolate it for seven days more.
55 The priest shall examine the infected article after it has been washed.
If the infected spot has not changed its color,
even if the disease has not spread, it is unclean.
You shall burn it in the fire, whether the leprous spot is on the inside
or on the outside of the article.
56 If the priest examines and the disease has faded after washing it,
he shall tear the spot out of the garment, or out of the leather,
or out of the warp or the woof.
57 If it still appears in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof,
or in anything of leather, it is spreading. You shall burn in the fire
that in which the disease appears.
58 The garment that you have washed, either in the warp or woof,
or anything of leather, if the disease is gone from it, then
it shall be washed a second time and shall be clean.
59 This is the law of the leprous disease in a garment of wool or linen,
either in the warp or woof, or anything of leather to determine if
it is clean or unclean.
[47] The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a
woollen garment, or a linen garment;
[48] Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in
a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
[49] And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the
skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a
plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
[50] And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the
plague seven days:
[51] And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be
spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or
in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is
unclean.
[52] He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen
or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a
fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
[53] And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in
the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
[54] Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the
plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
[55] And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and,
behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not
spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward,
whether it be bare within or without.
[56] And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after
the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the
skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
[57] And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the
woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn
that wherein the plague is with fire.
[58] And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it
be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it
shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
[59] This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or
linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it
clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

Purification After Childbirth
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Lev 15:19; Ge 1:28; Lev 18:19) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
If a woman has conceived and bears a male child,
then she shall be unclean seven days,
as in the days of her monthly menstruation she shall be unclean.
3 (Lk 1:59; 2:21) On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin
shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying
for thirty-three days. She shall not touch anything holy,
nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
5 But if she gives birth to a female child,
then she shall be unclean for two weeks as in her monthly menstruation,
and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days.
6 (Lk 2:22) When the days of her purifying are fulfilled,
whether for a son or for a daughter,
she shall bring a year-old lamb for a burnt offering,
and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering,
to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting,
7 who shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her.
Then she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood.
This is the law for the woman who has given birth to a male or a female child.
8 (Lev 4:26; 5:7) If she cannot afford a lamb,
then she shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons,
one for the burnt offering and the other for a sin offering,
and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Leviticus 12
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived
seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according
to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
[3] And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
[4] And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and
thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary,
until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
[5] But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in
her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying
threescore and six days.
[6] And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a
daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and
a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
[7] Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and
she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her
that hath born a male or a female.
[8] And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two
turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other
for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she
shall be clean.

The Law Concerning Leprosy
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 (Dt 24:8; Lev 14:56; 14:3) When a man has on the skin of his body
a swelling, a scab, or spot, and it turns on the skin of his body
like a mark of a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron
the priest or to one of his sons the priests.
3 (Ro 3:19-20) And the priest shall examine the mark on the skin
of the body, and when the hair on the diseased area is white,
and the mark appears to be deeper than the skin of his body,
then it is a leprous sore. So the priest shall look on him
and pronounce him unclean.
4 (Nu 12:15) If the spot is white on the skin of his body,
and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, and the hair is not white,
then the priest shall isolate the person who has the mark for seven days.
5 Then the priest shall examine him on the seventh day,
and if the mark is still visible,
and the mark has not spread into the skin,
then the priest shall isolate him for seven days more.
6 (Lev 11:25; 14:8) And the priest shall examine him again
on the seventh day, and if the mark has faded and not spread
into the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean;
it is only a scab, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.
7 But if the scab spreads in the skin after he has been seen
by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again.
8 And if the priest sees that the scab has spread in the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9 When a person has leprosy, then it shall be reported to the priest.
10 (2Ki 5:27; 2Ch 26:19–20) And the priest shall examine him,
and if there is a white swelling in the skin,
and it has turned the hair white,
and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11 it is a recurring leprosy in the skin of his body,
and the priest shall pronounce him unclean,
but he shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.
12 If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin,
and the disease covers all the skin of the person
who has the disease from his head to his feet,
wherever the priest looks,
13 then the priest shall examine,
and if the leprosy has covered all his body,
he shall pronounce him clean from the disease.
It has all turned white, and he is clean.
14 But when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.
15 The priest shall see the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean,
for the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and it is changed to white,
then he shall come to the priest.
17 And the priest shall see him, and if the disease is changed to white,
then the priest shall pronounce him clean who has the disease. He is clean.
18 (Ex 9:9) And when the skin has a boil, and it is healed,
19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling
or a reddish-white spot, then it will be shown to the priest.
20 And if the priest sees it, and it is deeper than the skin,
and the hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean.
It is a leprous sore that has broken out in the boil.
21 But if the priest looks at it, and there are no white hairs in it,
and if it is not deeper than the skin but has faded,
then the priest shall isolate the person for seven days.
22 If it spreads around the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.
23 But if the spot stays in its place and does not spread,
then it is the scar of a boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 Or if there is some of the skin on the body where there is a burn,
and the raw flesh that has a burn becomes a reddish or white spot,
25 then the priest shall examine it, and if the hair in the spot
has turned white, and it is deeper than the skin, then it is
a leprous disease broken out from the burn.
Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.
26 But if the priest looks at it, and there is no white hair in the spot,
and it is no deeper than the other skin and is faded, then the priest shall
isolate him for seven days.
27 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day,
and if it has spread around the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.
28 If the spot stays in its place and it does not spread in the skin,
but is faded, then it is a swelling from the burn,
and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is a scar from the burn.
29 If a man or woman has a sore on the head or in the beard,
30 then the priest shall examine the sore, and if it is deeper than the skin
and there is in it a yellow thin hair, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean. It is a scaly leprosy of the head or beard.
31 If the priest examines the scaly sore, and it is no deeper than the skin,
and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person
with the scale for seven days.
32 And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the sore,
and if the scale has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it,
and the scale is not deeper than the skin,
33 then he shall shave, but the scale he shall not shave,
and the priest shall isolate the person with the scale another seven days.
34 And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the scale.
If the scale has not spread in the skin and is no deeper than the skin,
the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35 But if the scale spreads over the skin after his cleansing,
36 then the priest shall examine him. If the scale has spread over the skin,
the priest shall not look for yellow hair. He is unclean.
37 But if the scale appears not to have changed
and there is black hair growing in it, then the scale is healed.
He is clean and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 If a man or a woman has spots on the skin of the body,
even white bright spots,
39 then the priest shall examine, and if the bright spots
on the skin of the body are a faded white,
then it is just a rash that has broken out on the skin. He is clean.
40 When a man has lost hair from his head, then he is bald.
He is still clean.
41 And when a man has lost hair from his forehead, then he is bald
on the forehead. He is still clean.
42 But if there is on the bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white sore,
it is a leprous disease breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.
43Then the priest shall examine it. If the diseased swelling is reddish-white
on his bald head or on his bald forehead, resembling a leprous disease
in the skin of the body,
44 he is leprous. He is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean.
His disease is on his head.
45 (Lev 10:6; La 4:15; Eze 24:17) The man who has the leprous disease
shall have torn clothes and disheveled hair; and he shall cover his mustache
and shall cry, "Unclean, unclean."
46 (2Ki 7:3; 15:5) All the days that he has the disease,
he shall be defiled. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone,
and he shall live outside the camp.

2 (Mt 15:11; Heb 9:10) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
These are the living things which you shall eat
among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Whatever animal has a parted hoof (that is, split-hoofed),
and chews the cud among the animals, that one you shall eat.
4 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud
or of those that have a divided hoof: The camel, because it chews
the cud but does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
5 (Ps 104:18; Pr 30:26) the rock badger, because it chews
the cud but does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
6 (Dt 14:7) the hare, because it chews the cud but does not
have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
7 (Isa 65:4; 66:3) the pig, though it does have a divided hoof
(that is, split-hoofed), yet it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you;
8 (Isa 52:11; Heb 9:10) you shall not eat of their flesh,
and their carcasses you must not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 These you shall eat of all that are in the waters:
Whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers,
these you shall eat;
10 (Lev 7:18) all that do not have fins and scales in the seas
and in the rivers, from all that move in the waters
and from any living thing that is in the waters, they are detestable to you;
11 they shall be detestable to you. You shall not eat of their flesh,
and you shall detest their carcasses.
12 Whatever has no fins or scales in the waters is detestable to you.
13 These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten;
they are detestable: the griffon vulture, the bearded vulture,
and the black vulture,
14 the kite, and buzzard of any kind,
15 the raven of any kind,
16 and the eagle owl, the short-eared and long-eared owls,
and the hawk of any kind,
17 and the little owl, the cormorant, and the screech owl,
18 and the white owl, the scops owl, and the osprey,
19 and the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 All flying insects that walk, moving on all fours,
shall be detestable to you.
21 Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps
on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet
with which to hop on the ground.
22 (Mt 3:4; Mk 1:6) Even of these you may eat: the locust of any kind,
the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper
of any kind.
23 But all other flying insects that have four feet
shall be detestable to you.
24 And by these you shall be unclean. Whoever touches
the carcass of these shall be unclean until the evening.
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye
shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
[3] Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud,
among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
[4] Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of
them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but
divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
[5] And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is unclean unto you.
[6] And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is unclean unto you.
[7] And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
[8] Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch;
they are unclean to you.
[9] These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins
and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
[10] And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers,
of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the
waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
[11] They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their
flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
[12] Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an
abomination unto you.
[13] And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls;
they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the ospray,
[14] And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
[15] Every raven after his kind;
[16] And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his
kind,
[17] And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
[18] And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
[19] And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
[20] All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto
you.
[21] Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all
four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
[22] Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald
locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper
after his kind.
[23] But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an
abomination unto you.
[24] And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of
them shall be unclean until the even.
Unclean Animals
25 (Lev 11:40; 14:8) Whoever carries any of the carcasses of these shall
wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
26 The carcass of every animal that divides the hoof but is not completely
split-hoofed nor chews the cud is unclean to you.
Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27 Whatever animal that walks on its paws,
among all manner of animals that go on all fours,
those are unclean to you.
Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28 He who carries the carcass of these shall wash his clothes
and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29 (Lev 11:41-42) These also shall be unclean to you among
the crawling things that move on the ground: the mole rat,
the mouse, and the great lizard of any kind,
30 and the gecko, the lizard, the wall gecko, the sand lizard,
and the chameleon.
31These are unclean to you among all that crawl.
Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32 (Lev 15:12) And anything on which any of them falls when they are dead
shall be unclean, whether it be an article of wood or clothing or a skin
or a sack, any article that is used for any purpose.
It must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until the evening;
then it shall be clean.
33 (Lev 6:28; 15:12) Every clay vessel into
which any of these falls, everything in
it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
34 Any food in it that may be eaten on which water
is poured shall be unclean, and any drink that may be drunk
in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35 Everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean;
whether it is an oven or stove, it shall be broken to pieces.
They are unclean and shall be unclean to you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or cistern where there is plenty of water
shall be clean, but whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37 If any part of their carcass falls on any grain seed that is to be sown,
it shall be clean.
38 But if any water is put on the seed,
and any part of their carcass fall on it, it shall be unclean to you.
39 If any animal from which you may eat dies,
whoever touches the carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 (Lev 22:8; Eze 44:31) And the person who eats of the carcass
shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
The person who carries the carcass shall wash his clothes
and be unclean until the evening.
41 (Lev 11:29) Every crawling thing that moves on the ground
shall be detestable. It shall not be eaten.
42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours,
or whatever has many feet from any crawling things that move on the earth,
you shall not eat them for they are detestable.
43 (Lev 20:25; 11:41-42) You shall not make yourselves detestable
with any crawling thing that moves,
nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them,
that you should thereby be defiled by them.
44 (Lev 19:2; Ex 19:6) For I am the Lord your God.
You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy,
for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner
of crawling thing that moves on the ground.
45 (Ex 6:7; 20:2; Ps 105:43-45) For I am the Lord who brings you up
out of the land of Egypt to be your God. Therefore you shall be holy,
for I am holy.
46 This is the law for the animals, and the fowls, and every living
creature that moves in the waters, and every creature that crawls
on the ground,
47 (Lev 10:10; Eze 44:23) to differentiate
between the unclean and the clean,
and between the animal that may be eaten
and the animal that may not be eaten.
[25] And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
[26] The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not
clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that
toucheth them shall be unclean.
[27] And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go
on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall
be unclean until the even.
[28] And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
[29] These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that
creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his
kind,
[30] And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and
the mole.
[31] These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch
them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
[32] And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it
shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or
sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into
water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
[33] And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is
in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
[34] Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall
be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be
unclean.
[35] And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be
unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down:
for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
[36] Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall
be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
[37] And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to
be sown, it shall be clean.
[38] But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase
fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
[39] And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the
carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
[40] And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash
his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
[41] And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination; it shall not be eaten.
[42] Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or
whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the
earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
[43] Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that
creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should
be defiled thereby.
[44] For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and
ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any
manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[45] For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be
your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
[46] This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living
creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon
the earth:
[47] To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the
beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

Leviticus 10
[1] And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer,
and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire
before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
[2] And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died
before the LORD.
[3] Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I
will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I
will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
[4] And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of
Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the
sanctuary out of the camp.
[5] So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as
Moses had said.
[6] And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,
Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest
wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of
Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
[7] And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you.
And they did according to the word of Moses.
[8] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
[9] Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when
ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations:
[10] And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between
unclean and clean;
[11] And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the
LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
[12] And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons
that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of
the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is
most holy:
[13] And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy
sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am
commanded.
[14] And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place;
thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and
thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of
the children of Israel.
[15] The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the
offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the
LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever;
as the LORD hath commanded.
[16] And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold,
it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron
which were left alive, saying,
[17] Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing
it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the
congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
[18] Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye
should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
[19] And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin
offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have
befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been
accepted in the sight of the LORD?
[20] And when Moses heard that, he was content.

Handle with Care

John 13:31-38
The New Commandment
31 (Jn 7:39; 14:13) When he had gone out, Jesus then said,
"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in Him God is glorified.
32 (Jn 12:23; 17:1) If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him
in Himself and will immediately glorify Him.
33 (Jn 7:33-34; 1Jn 2:1) "Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
You will seek Me. And as I said to the Jews, so now I tell you,
'Where I am going, you cannot come.'
34 (Lev 19:18; Eph 5:2) "A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
35 (Jn 17:21) By this all men will know that you are My disciples,
if you have love for one another."
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34
36 (2Pe 1:14; Jn 13:33) Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?"
Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now.
But you shall follow Me afterward."
37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now?
I will lay down my life for Your sake."
38 (Mk 14:30) Jesus answered Him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake?
Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster shall not crow until you have denied Me
three times."
[31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world
be cast out.
[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
[33] This he said, signifying what death he should die.
[34] The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who
is this Son of man?
[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children
of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from
them.
[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed
not on him:
[38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed?
Stradivarius violins, cellos, and guitars are among the most treasured musical
instruments in the world. Crafted during the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, the pieces are rare and invaluable. Something so precious deserves
the utmost care. So when a Stradivarius cello - worth more than $20 million -
fell off a table during a photo shoot, it was truly shocking!
Just as a Stradivarius must be handled carefully, so must our relationships.
We're to love others because Christ demonstrated His love toward us.
In John 13:34, Jesus gave His disciples a command that requires careful
attention: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you,
so you must love one another." Why did Christ call it a new command?
It was new because it was rooted in the way Jesus loved people. This new
command to love wasn’t careless or casual but intentional, precious,
and sacrificial. Loving this way would lead to discipleship, self-denial, and
possibly even death for the disciples. This care for one another would be how
they survived in a difficult and hostile world after Christ's departure. And
Jesus told them, "Everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another" (v. 35).
Let's carefully and sacrificially love others - reflecting Jesus' precious
and priceless love.
Reflect & Pray
Why is it difficult to show love to some people?
What can help you love them in a way that reflects the love Jesus revealed?
Dear Jesus, thank You for sacrificially loving me.
Please help me love others the same way.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 1 Hard Bargain
Mark 11:24
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
"I've been praying." Jennifer declared confidently. " I told God I'd give him
a tithe of that $5000000 when I win the sweepstakes."
Her friend Cindi laughed. "Well, then, you don't have a chance. I told him
I'd give him half!"
Can we, as in Mark 11:24 seems to imply , pray for anything, absolutely
anything, and expect that the Lord will come through? Can we pray with
assurance for new cars, mink coats, or trips to the Caribbean? The verse
seems to be a troublesome one, especially when we try it and our prayers
aren't answered in the way we expected.
But seen in context, Mark 11:24 gives us a much broader picture of the
kind of prayer Jesus meant. The verse appears in the framework of
Jesus' ministry - cleansing the temple, correcting the Pharisees,
commanding forgiveness, discussing his authority. The condition for
the fulfillment of Mark 11:24, if Jesus' actions are any indication,
is fulfilling the will and purpose of God.
Such a condition for powerful prayers involves much more than attaching
am "If it be Thy will" clause onto the end of our prayers. We need to know
God's will and walk in it, seeking his kingdom first, and drawing close to
him. Then , as our hearts are right with him, what we ask in prayer
is likely to be congruent with the mind and purposes of Christ. We are
less likely to pray selfishly, and more likely to share God's priorities,
as we get to know him. And as we deepen in our knowledge of him,
as his will becomes our will, his promise for answered prayer takes
on new dimensions.
Application
a) What is the connection betweeen know God's will and praying effectively?
b) What changes need to take place in my life
so that I might pray with greater power?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Romans 13:7-8
7 (Mt 17:25; 22:21) Render to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes
are due, respect to whom respect is due, fear to whom fear is due,
and honor to whom honour is due.
8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Eternal Faithfulness
Ps 117
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations! Exalt Him, all you peoples!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
1 O praise the LORD,
All ye nations: Praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us:
And the truth of the LORD endureth for ever.
Praise ye the LORD.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

LEVITICUS 9
The Priestly Ministry Begins
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron
and his sons and the elders of Israel.
2 (Lev 4:3; Ex 29:1) Then he said to Aaron, "
Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering,
without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
3 (Lev 4:23; Ezr 6:17) To the children of Israel you shall speak, saying,
'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb-both a year old
without blemish-for a burnt offering,
4 (Ex 29:43; Lev 9:6) also an ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice
before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with oil.
For today the Lord will appear to you.' "
5 They brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting,
and the entire congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
6 (Ex 24:16; Lev 9:23) Moses said, "This is the thing which the Lord
commanded that you should do; then the glory of the Lord shall appear to you."
7 (Heb 5:3; 5:1) Then Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar,
and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement
for yourself and for the people, and offer the sacrifice of the people,
and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded."
8 Aaron therefore went to the altar and slaughtered the calf
of the sin offering which was for himself.
9 (Lev 4:6-7; 8:15) The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him,
and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar,
and poured out the blood at the base of the altar.
10 But the fat, the kidneys, and the appendage
above the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
11 (Lev 4:11-12; 8:17) The flesh and the hide he burned
with fire outside the camp.
12 He slaughtered the burnt offering,
and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,
which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar.
13 They presented the burnt offering to him,
with its pieces, and the head, and he burned them on the altar.
14 (Lev 8:21) He then washed the entrails and the legs
and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.
15 (Lev 4:27-31; 9:3) He brought the people's offering,
and took the goat which was the sin offering for the people,
and slaughtered it, and offered it for sin as the first offering.
16 And he brought the burnt offering
and offered it according to its regulation.
17 (Lev 2:1-2) Then he brought the grain offering,
took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar,
besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings
for the people, and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,
which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar,
19 and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fatty tail,
and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys,
and the appendage above the liver.
20 They put the fat pieces on the breasts,
and he burned the fat on the altar.
21 (Lev 7:30-34) But the breasts and the right thigh
Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord just
as Moses commanded.
22 (Dt 21:5; Lk 24:50) Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people,
and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering,
the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 (Lev 9:6; Nu 16:19) Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting,
and when they came out they blessed the people,
and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (Jdg 6:21; 1Ki 18:38-39) A fire came out from before the Lord,
and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat that were on the altar.
When all the people saw this, they shouted and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 9
[1] And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel;
[2] And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a
ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
[3] And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid
of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first
year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
[4] Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the
LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear
unto you.
[5] And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
[6] And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye
should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
[7] And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin
offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for
the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for
them; as the LORD commanded.
[8] Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin
offering, which was for himself.
[9] And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his
finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out
the blood at the bottom of the altar:
[10] But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin
offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[11] And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
[12] And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
[13] And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces
thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
[14] And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt
offering on the altar.
[15] And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the
sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the
first.
[16] And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the
manner.
[17] And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and
burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
[18] He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace
offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
[19] And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which
covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
[20] And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the
altar:
[21] And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering
before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
[22] And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and
came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and
peace offerings.
[23] And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and
came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto
all the people.
[24] And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the
altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they
shouted, and fell on their faces.
LEVITICUS 10
The Death of Nadab and Abihu
1 (Lev 16:12; Nu 26:61; Ex 24:1) Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron,
each took his censer and put fire in it, and put incense on it,
and offered strange fire before the Lord,
which He did not command them to do.
2 (Nu 26:61; Lev 9:24; Nu 16:35) Then a fire came out from the Lord
and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 (Eze 28:22; Ex 19:22) Then Moses said to Aaron,
"This is what the Lord spoke, saying:
'I will be sanctified
by those who come near Me;
and before all the people
I will be glorified.' "
And Aaron held his peace.
4 (Ex 6:22; 6:18) Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel
the uncle of Aaron, and said to them,
"Come near, and carry your brothers
from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
5 So they went near, and carried them in their tunics
out of the camp as Moses had said.
6 (Nu 16:22; Jos 7:1) Moses said to Aaron,
and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons,
"Do not let your hair be loosely disheveled,
nor rend your clothes, lest you die,
and lest wrath come upon all the people.
Instead, let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,
mourn the burning which the Lord has caused.
7 (Lev 21:12; Ex 28:41) You shall not go out from the entrance
of the tent of meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil
of the Lord is upon you." And they did according to the word of Moses.
8 The Lord spoke to Aaron, saying:
9 (Lk 1:15; 1Ti 3:3; Isa 28:7) Do not drink wine nor strong drink,
you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting,
lest you die. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations,
10 (Lev 11:47; Eze 22:26) so that you may differentiate between what is
holy and common and between what is unclean and clean.
11 (Dt 24:8; Mal 2:7 ) And so you may teach the children of Israel
all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
12 (Lev 21:22; Nu 18:9-10) Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,
his sons who were left: Take the grain offering that remains of the food
offerings of the Lord made by fire
and eat it without leaven beside the altar. For it is most holy.
13 (Lev 2:3; 6:16) And you shall eat it in a holy place, because
it is your due and your sons' due from the food sacrifices of the Lord
made by fire. For so I have been commanded.
14 (Nu 18:11) The breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed
you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters
with you, for they are your due and your sons' due which are given out
of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 (Lev 7:34) The thigh that is contributed and the breast that
is waved they shall bring with the fat pieces of the food offerings
made by fire to wave them as a wave offering before the Lord,
and it shall be yours and your sons' with you as a perpetual statute,
as the Lord has commanded.
16 (Lev 9:3; 9:15) Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering
and saw it was burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar,
the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying,
17 (Ex 28:38; Lev 22:16) "Why have you not eaten the sin offering
in the sacred area, knowing that it is most holy and God has given
it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation to make atonement
for them before the Lord?
18 (Lev 6:30; 6:26) Its blood was not brought into
the inner part of the sanctuary. Indeed you should have eaten
it in the sanctuary as I commanded."
19 (Lev 9:12; 9:8) Aaron said to Moses, "Today they have offered
their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord,
and such things have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today,
should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?"
20 And when Moses heard that, he approved.

• Discernment -
Ezra 8:21 -23;
21 (2Ch 20:3; Ps 5:8) Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river
of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God,
to seek from Him a good route for us, our little ones,
and all our substance.
22 (2Ch 15:2; Ezr 7:6) For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort
of foot and horse soldiers to help us against the enemy on the way,
because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is upon
all who seek Him for good, but His power and His wrath are against all
who forsake Him."
23 (Jer 29:12-13; 1Ch 5:20) So we fasted and sought our God for this,
and He was moved by our prayers.
[21] Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might
afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and
for our little ones, and for all our substance.
[22] For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and
horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto
the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek
him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
[23] So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.
Acts 13:2-3;
2 (Ac 9:15; 2Ti 1:11) As they worshipped the Lord and fasted,
the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work
to which I have called them."
3 (Ac 6:6; 14:26) Then after fasting and praying, they laid their hands
on them and sent them off.
[2] As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,
Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
[3] And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they
sent them away.
Acts 14:23
23 (Titus 1:5; Ac 11:30; 20:32) When they had appointed elders for them
in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord
in whom they believed.
[23] And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed
with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
• Crisis -
Judges 20:26
26 (Jdg 20:23; 20:18) Then all the children of Israel, all the people, went up
to Bethel where they wept and sat before the Lord.
They fasted that day until evening and offered burnt offerings and peace
offerings before the Lord.
[26] Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came
unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted
that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before
the LORD.
2Chron 20:3-4
3 (2Ch 19:3; 1Sa 7:6) Then Jehoshaphat was fearful and set himself to seek
the Lord, and he called for a fast throughout all Judah.
4 And Judah was assembled to seek the Lord; even from all the cities of Judah,
they came to obtain aid from the Lord.
[3] And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed
a fast throughout all Judah.
[4] And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even
out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
Esther 4:15-17
15 Then Esther replied, sending back to Mordecai:
16 (Ge 43:14; Est 5:1) "Go, gather all the Jews who can be found in Susa,
then fast for me. Stop eating and drinking for three days, night or day.
I and my young women will fast likewise. Only then would I dare go
to the king since it is not allowed by law, and if I perish, I perish."
17 So Mordecai went away and did exactly as Esther had commanded him.
[15] Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
[16] Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast
ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my
maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not
according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
[17] So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had
commanded him.
• Grief and Concern -
2Sam 1:11-12
11 (Ge 37:29; 2Sa 3:31) Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them,
as did all of the men who were with him.
12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul,
Jonathan his son, the people of the Lord, and the house of Israel,
because they had fallen by the sword.
[11] Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all
the men that were with him:
[12] And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for
Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of
Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
2Sam 12:16-23
16 (2Sa 13:31) David entreated God on behalf of the child.
He fasted for a period, and he would go in and lie throughout the night
on the ground.
17 (2Sa 3:35) The elders of his house stood beside him to rouse him
from the ground, but he was not willing, nor would he consume
food with them.
18 The child died on the seventh day, and the servants of David
were afraid to tell him that the child had died. They said,
"When the child was alive, we would speak to him,
but he would not acknowledge our voices.
Now how can we say to him, 'The child is dead'? He may do harm."
19 When David noticed that his servants were whispering to one another,
he perceived that the child was dead.
So he asked his servants, "Is the child dead?"
They said, "He is dead."
20 (Job 1:20; Ru 3:3) So David arose from the ground, washed,
anointed himself, and changed his garments. Then he entered the house
of the Lord and worshipped. He then went in to his own house.
When he asked, they set down food for him and ate.
21 His servants said to him, "What is this thing you have done?
You fasted and wept for the sake of the living child,
but when the child died, you arose and ate food."
22 (Isa 38:1-3; 38:5) He explained, "As long as the child was alive,
I fasted and wept because I thought, 'Who knows?
The Lord may be gracious to me, so that the child may live.'
23 (Ge 37:35; Job 7:8-10) But now he is dead. Why should I fast?
Am I able to bring him back again? I will go to him,
but he will not return to me."
[16] David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went
in, and lay all night upon the earth.
[17] And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up
from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
[18] And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the
servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said,
Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not
hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that
the child is dead?
[19] But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that
the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child
dead? And they said, He is dead.
[20] Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and
changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped:
then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before
him, and he did eat.
[21] Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast
done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when
the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
[22] And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I
said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may
live?
[23] But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back
again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
Neh 1:4
4 (Ne 2:4; Ezr 10:1) When I heard these words, I sat down and wept
and mourned for days. Then I fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
[4] And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and
wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of
heaven,

13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returns to my own heart.
13] But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I
humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Ps 69:10;
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) When I wept with fasting for my soul,
it became an insult to me.
[10] When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my
reproach.
Matt 9:14-15;
14 (Mt 11:2; Jn 3:25) Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking,
"Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?"
15 (Jn 3:29; Ac 14:23) Jesus answered, "Can the guests of the bridegroom
mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come
when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we
and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come,
when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Luke 2:37
[37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed
not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

and a bull for the sin offering,
and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread,
3 and gather all the congregation together
at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him,

10 Moses took the anointing oil,
and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it,
and sanctified them.
11 He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar
and all its vessels, both the laver and its stand, to sanctify them.

and Moses burned them on the altar.
17 (Lev 4:11-12; Ex 29:14) But the bull, and its hide, its flesh,
and its refuse he burned with fire outside the camp,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 (Lev 8:2) Then he brought the ram for the burnt offering,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
19 He killed it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.
20 He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned the head, the pieces,
and the fat.
21 (Ex 29:18) He washed the entrails and the legs in water,
and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering
for a pleasing aroma, and a food offering made by fire to the Lord,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 (Lev 8:2) Next he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
23 (Ex 29:20; Lev 14:14) He slaughtered it, and Moses took some
of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
24 He brought the sons of Aaron, and Moses put some of the blood
on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands,
and on the big toes of their right feet.
Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.
25 He took the fat, and the fatty tail, and all the fat that was
on the entrails, and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys,
and their fat, and the right thigh,
26 (Ex 29:23) and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before
the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread,
and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 And he put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons
and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.
28 (Ex 29:25) Then Moses took them from off their hands
and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering.
This was a consecration for a pleasing aroma,
an offering made by fire to the Lord.
29 Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord.
This part of the ram of consecration was for Moses,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 (Nu 3:3; Ex 29:21) Then Moses took some of the anointing oil
and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron,
and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons
with him and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons,
and the garments of his sons with him.
31 (Ex 29:31-32) Moses said to Aaron and to his sons,
"Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting
and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations
just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'
32 (Ex 29:34) That which remains of the flesh
and of the bread you shall burn up.
33 (Ex 29:35) You shall not go out of the door of the tent of meeting
for seven days, until the days of your consecration are at an end,
for your consecration will take seven days.
34 (Heb 7:16) As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded
what is to be done to make atonement for you.
35 (Nu 3:7; 9:19) Therefore you shall abide at the entrance of the tent
of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord
that you do not die, for so I have been commanded."
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 8
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing
oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of
unleavened bread;
[3] And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
[4] And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered
together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[5] And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD
commanded to be done.
[6] And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
[7] And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and
clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him
with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
[8] And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the
Urim and the Thummim.
[9] And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his
forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
[10] And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all
that was therein, and sanctified them.
[11] And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the
altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
[12] And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him,
to sanctify him.
[13] And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded
them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[14] And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
[15] And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of
the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured
the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make
reconciliation upon it.
[16] And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and caul above the
liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the
altar.
[17] But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with
fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[18] And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
[19] And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round
about.
[20] And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the
pieces, and the fat.
[21] And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the
whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and
an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[22] And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
[23] And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the
tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
great toe of his right foot.
[24] And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of
their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the
great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar
round about.
[25] And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the
inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat,
and the right shoulder:
[26] And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he
took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put
them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
[27] And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved
them for a wave offering before the LORD.
[28] And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar
upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[29] And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the
LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
[30] And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon
the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his
sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his
garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
[31] And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that
is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his
sons shall eat it.
[32] And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn
with fire.
[33] And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an
end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
[34] As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an
atonement for you.
[35] Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that
ye die not: for so I am commanded.
[36] So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the
hand of Moses.
(How blessed are in the Lord for being part of the priesthood?)
