9:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 9:2Moreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season. 9:3In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it. 9:4And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 9:5And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 9:6And there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 9:7and those men said unto him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel? 9:8And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.
9:9And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 9:10Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah. 9:11In the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs: 9:12they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it. 9:13But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 9:14And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him that is born in the land.
9:15And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 9:16So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 9:17And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped. 9:18At the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped. 9:19And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not. 9:20And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. 9:21And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 9:22Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed. 9:23At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

45:1My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter;
I speak the things which I have made touching the king:
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:2Thou art fairer than the children of men;
Grace is poured into thy lips:
Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
45:3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,
Thy glory and thy majesty.
45:4And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,
Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
45:5Thine arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under thee;
They are in the heart of the king's enemies.
45:6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
45:7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:
Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
45:8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
45:9Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women:
At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:
45:11So will the king desire thy beauty;
For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.
45:12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;
The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
45:13The king's daughter within the palace is all glorious:
Her clothing is inwrought with gold.
45:14She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:
The virgins her companions that follow her
Shall be brought unto thee.
45:15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:
They shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.
45:17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
7:1How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter!
Thy rounded thighs are like jewels,
The work of the hands of a skilful workman.
7:2Thy body is like a round goblet,
Wherein no mingled wine is wanting:
Thy waist is like a heap of wheat
Set about with lilies.
7:3Thy two breasts are like two fawns
That are twins of a roe.
7:4Thy neck is like the tower of ivory;
Thine eyes as the pools in Heshbon,
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon
Which looketh toward Damascus.
7:5Thy head upon thee is like Carmel,
And the hair of thy head like purple;
The king is held captive in the tresses thereof.
7:6How fair and how pleasant art thou,
O love, for delights!
7:7This thy stature is like to a palm-tree,
And thy breasts to its clusters.
7:8I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree,
I will take hold of the branches thereof:
Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine,
And the smell of thy breath like apples,
7:9And thy mouth like the best wine,
That goeth down smoothly for my beloved,
Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.
7:10I am my beloved's;
And his desire is toward me.
7:11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field;
Let us lodge in the villages.
7:12Let us get up early to the vineyards;
Let us see whether the vine hath budded,
And its blossom is open,
And the pomegranates are in flower:
There will I give thee my love.
7:13The mandrakes give forth fragrance;
And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old,
Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
7:1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 7:2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace; 7:3without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually. 7:4Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils. 7:5And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest's office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham: 7:6but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises. 7:7But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better. 7:8And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 7:9And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes; 7:10for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him. 7:11Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron? 7:12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 7:13For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar. 7:14For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests. 7:15And what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, 7:16who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life: 7:17for it is witnessed of him,
Thou art a priest for ever
After the order of Melchizedek.
7:18For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness 7:19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God. 7:20And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath 7:21(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him,
The Lord sware and will not repent himself,
Thou art a priest for ever);
7:22by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. 7:23And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing: 7:24but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable. 7:25Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 7:26For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 7:27who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. 7:28For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, appointeth a Son, perfected for evermore.
