The Day Jesus Christ the Son of God Was Disrespected and Dishonored by His Family, Community, and Country (Part 24-A) with Daniel Whyte III in the Just Jesus Evangelistic Campaign #2426–Mark 6:1-4, Matthew 10:32-42 

The Day Jesus Christ the Son of God Was Disrespected and Dishonored by His Family, Community, and Country (Part 24-A) with Daniel Whyte III in the Just Jesus Evangelistic Campaign #2426–Mark 6:1-4, Matthew 10:32-42. Daniel Whyte III is President of Gospel Light Society International, Pastor of Gospel Light House of Prayer International “Crying in the Wilderness,” “Exiled on the Isle of Patmos,” and “Preaching the Gospel By Any Means Necessary.”

MARK 6:1-4

 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

² And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

⁴ But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

Matthew 10:32-42

³² Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶ And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹ He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁰ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹ He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

⁴² And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

THE GUIDED PRAYER with Daniel Whyte III (To Pray Like King David by Praying With King David) Psalm 86 #37-A-Part 3 in Conjunction with The Prayer Motivator Minute. Daniel Whyte III is President of Gospel Light Society International, Pastor of Gospel Light House of Prayer International, “Crying in the Wilderness,” “Exiled on the Isle of Patmos,” and “Preaching the Gospel by any Means Necessary” with a tribute to Daniel Whyte III’s second daughter Daniella (Danni) Whyte who helped produce most of the Prayer Motivator Minute and the Prayer Motivator Devotional podcasts.

What is a Guided Prayer? A Guided Prayer is when an experienced born-again-saved Prayer Warrior guides people to the Throne of Grace by praying for and with other Christians, guiding less experienced Christians in prayer, often times having them pray responsively out loud with one of the purposes being teaching them how to pray based on the Word of God, the Holy Bible, so they can become strong Prayer Warriors and lead their families and other groups in Guided Prayers to actually receive answers to prayer from God in the individual’s life, in their families, and in their churches for the Glory of God.

PSALM 86

1 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

² Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

³ Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁵ For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

⁶ Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

⁹ All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

¹⁰ For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

¹² I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

¹³ For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

¹⁴ O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

¹⁶ O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

¹⁷ Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, Gives 7 Reasons The Evangelical-Protestant-Charismatic Church As a Whole Is In an ILLICIT SEXUAL CRISIS.

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, Gives 7 Reasons The Evangelical-Protestant-Charismatic Church As a Whole Is In an ILLICIT SEXUAL CRISIS:

1. In the God-given, legitimate, explosive, hunger, and desire by men for sex, which Evangelical-Charismatic church leaders and pastors have tried to beat down in men over the past five decades by emasculating and making men more effeminate in the Church by beating them down in front of their wives and family members and promoting the false idea that the man is always wrong and the woman is always right and put on a pedestal which she does not belong on and that the man ought to submit to the wife.
2. Kelvinator-refrigerator, proud, arrogant, stubborn, unsubmissive, witchcraft wives who make themselves ugly to a husband even though they may be pretty on the outside but are not willing to give the husband sex-on-demand cheerfully and joyfully like that woman in the church, who will leave her job on her lunch break, not eat, to meet with the pastor in the pastor’s office and perform oral sex on him and “swallow” to satisfy his need and then go back to work.
3. Because these “church leaders” and pastors are not getting sex on demand from a willing, loving, cheerful wife who also keeps herself clean and looking good, these sex-starved men are getting on their computers and devices and filling their hearts and minds with vile pornography. Looking at pornography is an attempt for most of these men to “have sex” they are not having with their spouses. By the way, the Evangelical-produced and promoted movie Fireproof plot line was bogus. The truth about that movie is the husband was a good, hardworking man and a good husband struggling with “peeking” at pornography but who was dealing with a Kelvinator-refrigerator, arrogant, bossy, looking-down-her-nose-at-her-husband, whorish wife, who was flirting on the job like it was her husband’s fault, which an adrift evangelical movement loves (The wife is always holy and right; the man is always unholy and wrong). With that said, any man who claims to be a Christian and is looking at pornography is sinning against God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God, and there is no such thing as BEING ADDICTED TO PORNOGRAPHY! Porn addiction among Christians is an idea promoted by misguided Evangelicals who negate the power of being a born-again-saved Christian. If a man is addicted to pornography, he is lost and on his way to hell. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are not going to sit there and watch pornography with you. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are going to put a stop to that through rebuke, guilt, and chastisement, or you are simply not a born-again-saved Christian. This goes for men and women, pastors and pastors’ wives because now we have just as many pastors’ wives addicted to pornography as their husbands. Whyte says further that there is an illicit sexual crisis in the Church because many so-called bishops, pastors, pastors’ wives, and “church leaders” are in ministry, but they are lost. They are not true believers in Christ. They are counterfeits, hypocrites, Judases, and false prophets. 
4. Many so-called evangelical church couples simply do not take advantage of the greatest gift to a married man and a married woman, for various stupid reasons and that is having guilt-free sex multiple times a week in a bed that God says is “undefiled.” These foolish excuses run the gamut such as: ‘I don’t love him or her anymore.’ ‘I am mad at him or her.’ ‘I don’t like being around him or her anymore.’ ‘There is too much stress in our marriage.’ ‘He or she does not do it for me any more sexually speaking.’ All of these excuses and foolishness lead to the man and the woman becoming “horny” and vulnerable to having sex with other people in the church, on the job, or at the coffee shop. None of these excuses have anything to do with having sex. Whyte hopes you love your spouse, but Tina Turner was right when she raised the question, “What’s love got to do with it?” Millions of us wicked sinners have had sex with people we didn’t love, like, and in some cases, we did not even know because that desire for sex is a fiery need that must be taken care of, especially in real men. 
5. The Evangelical Church is generally trying to lead the Church, as a whole, into sin by forsaking several things that the Church has always stood against: (A.) Divorce and remarriage, which has led to millions of people living in adultery, and that has led to many men and women being vulnerable to having sex with people they are not married to because contrary to what many believe now, sexual desire is a fire that has to be extinguished regularly. Many Divorce Care Ministries are nothing more than hook-up sites for horny formerly married people who are used to having sex but refuse to have sex with their God-given spouses. People have been allowed to stay in the church even though they have been divorced and remarried when that was not the case years ago. (B.) People who were living in fornication or shacking up have been allowed to remain as members of the church when that was not the case years ago. 
6. Some Evangelical “church leaders” have attempted to lead much of the Protestant side of the Church to accept the abomination of sodomy/homosexuality, which is not only a sin and an abomination against God, but it is an intentional Judas betrayal of God, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God. Choosing to commit this abomination in God’s sight, opens up the door for gross sin in the church that most Evangelical so-called leaders and pastors do not understand. Most church leaders and pastors do not understand that if you do something over here “in a corner” that is diametrically opposed to God’s clear teaching in His Word there is a negative reaction from God in Heaven against the church and “God’s people” who are perpetrating that evil.
7. There is an evangelical-church-leaders-pastor cabal of silence that fights to keep the pastoral perpetrators of sexual abuse, rape, sex trafficking, child molestation, and sodomy/homosexuality among pastors in place. They cover up each other’s sins and fight to keep them in place for years, and they have harmed and destroyed many lives often-times because of Judas’ 30 pieces of silver “filthy lucre” money. Sad to say, the evangelical church, which used to be a stalwart, a protector, and a keeper of the faith, now is just as guilty as the Catholic church of covering up the sins of the bishops, pastors, and so-called “church leaders,” whom God is rebuking and chastising in real-time in this life and will do in the life to come because lost souls are being damned to hell by these lies, cover-ups, and hypocrisy. GOD HAVE MERCY!

 

It is a Shame Before God That the Worldwide Evangelical Church and the U.S. Government are not Paying Attention to the Persecution and Murder of Innocent Christians in Nigeria

It is a Shame Before God That the Worldwide Evangelical Church and the U.S. Government are not Paying Attention to the Persecution and Murder of Innocent Christians in Nigeria 

The persecution of Christians in Nigeria seems to be intensifying, with continuing reports of people being killed in the north of Nigeria, and its so-called “Middle Belt” of farmland.

This is where the mostly Christian farmers are being killed, their crops destroyed, and villages and homes burnt by radical Islamic groups—Fulani herdsman, Boko Haram, and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

However, the worst attacks often come during Christian holidays. And one of the worst attacks yet, the slaughter of 200 Christians in Plateau State in the Middle Belt, occurred this past Christmas, from Dec. 23-25.

Atrocities on Christian Holidays

This attack recalls the Pentecost Sunday attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, in southwest Nigeria in 2022. There 50 people were killed. A video clip of the church with pools of blood on the floor immediately after the attack in this article from LifeSiteNews.com is simply horrific.

The choice of a Christian holiday to attack Christians highlights a key controversy which is raised whenever there is attention to the killing in Nigeria. Is this simply a “farmer/herder” conflict, driven ultimately by economic factors, in particular, desertification of the Sahel (the semi-arid transitional zone south of the Sahara Desert)? Or, is it a basically a religious clash, with Muslims attacking Christians in an effort to seize the property of Christian farmers and Islamize Nigeria?

The governor of Plateau state, Caleb Mutfwang, clearly stated after the attacks that what is happening in Nigeria is genocide. The word may be overused in our day but does express that what is happening is not a “clash,” or a “conflict,” or “sectarian violence.” These terms would indicate that there are two sides fighting. But there is only one side participating in the bloodshed—radical Muslim groups, who attack Christians with the sole objective of killing them and seizing their property.

Configuration of the Crisis

As noted by Jeff King, President of International Christian Concern, in a video clip interviewing a Nigerian pastor, when the British ruled Nigeria, they relied on northern Muslims, and particularly the Fulani tribe (with millions of members across the Sahel) to rule the country.

This left northern Muslims in charge of the military and security apparatus.  And today, the Muslim dominance continues.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari was a Fulani. And the Nigerian army is often reluctant to act against Islamic terrorists and sometimes is complicit in attacks, arresting or attacking civilian guards fighting against the violence.

TruthNigeria, which attempts to report on ongoing slaughter and overt negligence of Nigerian authorities, reported on January 7, “Nigerian army soldiers are standing as watchmen for Fulani terrorists who have moved into some of the conquered villages. . . .  The terrorist invaders will prevent the return of the 10,000 displaced residents, the majority of whom are Christians, according to victims and humanitarian aid givers.”

Additionally, the army has been arresting the civilian guards, who attempt to protect the northern communities from Islamic terrorists.

Meanwhile, the attacked villages of Mutfet, Ndun, Mbong, and Yelwa Nono still have no security presence. Faced with enormous criticism from the West regarding the Christmas massacre, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission has ordered broadcasters in Nigeria to stop reporting on the killing and violence.

Life After an Attack

But for Christians in Nigeria, the sorrow at the loss of loved ones, property, and livelihood as they were preparing to celebrate Christmas is compounded by the immediate need for food and shelter. They also face the question of how they will rebuild their lives and communities with no assurance (despite promises) of security.

A Nigerian pastor who lost his home in the Christmas attack spoke movingly of having lost seven family members as well. Like many others, he lost everything in his home, “bought foodstuffs, clothing, and whatever. It was a furnished house, but it is burnt, and even the church that is by my side was burnt.”

The hapless residents of northern Nigeria are doing what they can to respond to their plight. The civilian guards, while themselves apparently the occasional targets of the army, are one response. In another response to the Christmas massacre, residents of the affected areas rallied in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.

The displacement of people from devastated and dangerous areas has resulted in multitudes of displaced persons. Last October it was reported that over two million persons were displaced by the “farmer/herder” conflict in Benue State (south of Plateau State).

Persistent Government Complicity

As I discussed in a previous article on the Nigerian crisis, the Nigerian government is often complicit in the violence.

Vatican News estimated that 52,250 people have been killed in the last 14 years, and 18,000 churches have been set on fire. Such statistics testify either to a government unable or unwilling to stop the violence.

The Director of the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (InterSociety), Emeka Umeagbalasi, has accused the government of encouraging the bloodshed.

“The level of violence is expected to continue, and it has continued to rise because the authorities are fueling the crisis,” Umeagbalasi said. “The authorities are behind the killings. The authorities have injected the security forces with jihadist bad blood, to the extent that the security forces have left what they are supposed to do, and they started going after people who are not lawless citizens.”

Meanwhile, Umeagbalasi maintained, the government is quick to protect Fulani Muslims.

“In Plateau State or in northern Nigeria, in any of the troubled spots, if a Fulani man is killed, you will see security forces and government spending millions (in local currency) in sponsoring the high publicity of that Fulani man killed . . .  When defenseless citizens are killed in their hundreds, the government does not raise any eyebrows. That is to say that in Nigeria there are those that are created to be killed, and there are those that are created to live.”

A member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, David Lalu, has suggested that communities should take up arms against the jihadists, but Umeagbalasi believes that will simply lead to more violence.

Other branches of government in Nigeria also have jihadist elements in them, Umeagbalasi maintained, noting, “They now sing jihadist Islamic songs.”

After a horrific killing, such as that of last Christmas or Pentecost 2022, there may be strong denunciations of violence, and promises of justice. But in reality, the government and military seem to have a “nonchalant attitude” toward the killing, not responding to calls for help and even providing security for terrorists, as noted by Truth Nigeria.

Advocates and activists concerned with the slaughter agree on the inadequacy of the government’s response. Franklyne Ogbunwezeh of Prevention at Christian Solidarity International in Switzerland, recently claimed that the killings in central Nigeria show the jihadists’ intention of wiping out the Christian population, and the government’s complicity in the bloodshed by ignoring pleas for help.

Similarly, Maria Lozano, a representative for the papal relief group Aid to the Church in Need, maintained that “lack of response from the government” to pleas for help during and after attacks has resulted in increasing violence over the years. While the government may express outrage at a particularly grievous attack, it does not offer “tangible support.” As a result, Christians churches have had to take “primary responsibility of providing assistance.”

Another well-placed source, Sean Nelson of the Alliance Defending Freedom International, has said of the Christmas massacre that “the scale of this attack is shocking . . . If no real actions are taken after these attacks this Christmas, it can only be deliberate indifference to the lives of these Christian communities.”

He added that while attacks on Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt have gone on for years, they have increased in the past year.

Killing in the New Year

Killings are reported on an almost weekly or daily basis in Nigeria. Since the Christmas massacre, terrorists slaughtered 41 Christians and kidnapped others in Kaduna State.

The attack occurred on January 3. It was reported that “the terrorists who were armed with deadly weapons invaded the communities, killing children, women, men and the elderly who were unable to escape from the attackers.”

The location of the terrorist camp responsible for the violence in that part of Nigeria is known, and has been raided by the army. But nearby communities never have peace.

Similarly, on January 5, 14 persons, including a pastor, were killed in Yobe State by members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). The pastor was killed at the church, while the others were killed in their homes.

Open Doors World Watch List 2024 reports, “More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year than everywhere else in the world combined. The attacks are often brutal in nature and can involve destruction of properties, abductions for ransom, sexual violence, and death. Believers are stripped of their livelihoods and driven from their homes, leaving a trail of grief and trauma.”

The previous 2023 list raised Nigeria’s ranking among the 50 worst countries persecuting Christians from 7 to 6. It also declared:

“Militants from the Fulani, Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and others conduct raids on Christian communities, killing, maiming, raping, and kidnapping for ransom or sexual slavery . . . This year has also seen this violence spill over into the Christian-majority south of the nation . . . Nigeria’s government continues to deny this is religious persecution, so violations of Christians’ rights are carried out with impunity.”

What Can Be Done

Because of the denial of the basically religious character of the ongoing slaughter by the Nigerian government, which is shared by the Biden Administration State Department and much of the Western establishment, the crisis does not receive the attention it should in the public mind of the West.

A particularly egregious example is the Wikipedia article on the “History of Nigeria.” The article inaccurately states that Nigeria was placed on the “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) list in 2018, during the tenure of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

However, Nigeria was placed on the CPC list on Dec. 7, 2020, shortly before Trump left office, due to Assistant Secretary of State Robert Destro’s on the ground investigation. The investigation found that the main problem was the Nigerian government’s failure to provide adequate security for its citizens.

However, the crisis in Nigeria may start to receive the attention it deserves in the Western mainstream.

Amnesty International (AI) recently stated its concern over the increasing violence, declaring that the country is “living on a knife edge.”

Almost daily kidnapping for ransom leaves people in a state of constant fear, AI noted. The group also decried the abuses committed against victims, specifically “torture, rape, and starvation.”

Also taking note of the crisis is Pope Francis, who in response to the killings in Plateau State prayed that God would “free Nigeria from these horrors.”

This writer remembers where he was on Pentecost Sunday, 2022 when the horrific killings occurred at St. Francis Catholic Church in Ondo State. I was having a delightful Sunday dinner with relatives in the states.

Thinking of Nigeria from the vantage point of relative security in North America, it is frustrating that there is so little that can be done if the Nigerian government continues its policy of slowly eradicating the Christian populations of north and central Nigeria.

Persistent prayer is certainly part of the solution, and that can be offered regardless of government policies.

Continued publicity of the horrific nature of the crisis by organizations and individuals who can speak into the public square is crucial. Images and sounds, such as shown in the first link in this article should be particularly effective.

And of course, the restoration of Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern is another action which might move the Nigerian government to provide effective protection against violence. Yet another measure would be conditioning any aid from the United States to Nigeria on the Nigerian government implementing more effective policies to protect its citizens from killing and lawlessness.

We cannot determine the future in Nigeria. But we should do what we can to stop evil.

5 TRAGIC STORIES IN 1! Julie Roys and Other Reporters are all Over the Tragic Mike Bickle/International House of Prayer Demonic Scandal. Daniel Whyte III says this is too much! There is much confusion!

5 TRAGIC STORIES IN 1! Julie Roys and Other Reporters are all Over the Tragic Mike Bickle/International House of Prayer Demonic Scandal. Daniel Whyte III says this is too much! There is much confusion! “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” “Let all things be done decently and in order.” Whyte says Billy Graham’s grandson, Attorney Boz Tchividjian, should lead in resolving this demonic mess impacting all parts of the church. Whyte tells Prophet Michael Brown and CEO Stephen Strang that if they are long-time friends of Mike Bickle and the leadership at the International House of Prayer and if they have received phone calls to help Mike Bickle come back into leadership they need to stand down and let Boz Tchividjian be the sole leader in resolving this demonic scandal that is metastasizing like a cancer in the Body of Christ. Below are 5 tragic stories in 1 regarding this sad, growing scandal:

1. It is Reported that the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER’S Founder, Mike Bickle, Covered Up His son’s Long Term Adulterous Relationship 
2. The Sexual Misconduct Allegations Go Both Ways in Ongoing Scandal at Mike Bickle’s International House Of Prayer
3. Charisma CEO Stephen Strang Calls Exposure of Mike Bickle’s Alleged Sex Abuse a ‘Spiritual Attack’
4. Dr. Michael Brown Calls for ‘New Direction’ to Resolve IHOPKC Sex Abuse Scandal, Following ‘Impasse’
5. International House Of Prayer Fights with Billy Graham’s Grandson, Attorney Boz Tchividjian after multiple Jane Does deny abuse

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says the Church as a Whole is in an ILLICIT SEXUAL CRISIS rooted in the following:

1. In the God-given, legitimate, explosive, hunger, and desire by men for sex, which Evangelical-Charismatic church leaders and pastors have tried to beat down in men over the past five decades by emasculating and making men more effeminate in the Church by beating them down in front of their wives and family members and promoting the false idea that the man is always wrong and the woman is always right and put on a pedestal which she does not belong on and that the man ought to submit to the wife.
2. Kelvinator-refrigerator, proud, arrogant, stubborn, unsubmissive, witchcraft wives who make themselves ugly to a husband even though they may be pretty on the outside but are not willing to give the husband sex-on-demand cheerfully and joyfully like that woman in the church, who will leave her job on her lunch break, not eat, to meet with the pastor in the pastor’s office and perform oral sex on him and “swallow” to satisfy his need and then go back to work.
3. Because these “church leaders” and pastors are not getting sex on demand from a willing, loving, cheerful wife who also keeps herself clean and looking good, these sex-starved men are getting on their computers and devices and filling their hearts and minds with vile pornography. Looking at pornography is an attempt for most of these men to “have sex” they are not having with their spouses. By the way, the Evangelical-produced and promoted movie Fireproof plot line was bogus. The truth about that movie is the husband was a good, hardworking man and a good husband struggling with “peeking” at pornography but who was dealing with a Kelvinator-refrigerator, arrogant, bossy, looking-down-her-nose-at-her-husband, whorish wife, who was flirting on the job like it was her husband’s fault, which an adrift evangelical movement loves (The wife is always holy and right; the man is always unholy and wrong). With that said, any man who claims to be a Christian and is looking at pornography is sinning against God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God, and there is no such thing as BEING ADDICTED TO PORNOGRAPHY! Porn addiction among Christians is an idea promoted by misguided Evangelicals who negate the power of being a born-again-saved Christian. If a man is addicted to pornography, he is lost and on his way to hell. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are not going to sit there and watch pornography with you. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are going to put a stop to that through rebuke, guilt, and chastisement, or you are simply not a born-again-saved Christian. This goes for men and women, pastors and pastors’ wives because now we have just as many pastors’ wives addicted to pornography as their husbands. Whyte says further that there is an illicit sexual crisis in the Church because many so-called bishops, pastors, pastors’ wives, and “church leaders” are in ministry, but they are lost. They are not true believers in Christ. They are counterfeits, hypocrites, Judases, and false prophets. 
4. Many so-called evangelical church couples simply do not take advantage of the greatest gift to a married man and a married woman, for various stupid reasons and that is having guilt-free sex multiple times a week in a bed that God says is “undefiled.” These foolish excuses run the gamut such as: ‘I don’t love him or her anymore.’ ‘I am mad at him or her.’ ‘I don’t like being around him or her anymore.’ ‘There is too much stress in our marriage.’ ‘He or she does not do it for me any more sexually speaking.’ All of these excuses and foolishness lead to the man and the woman becoming “horny” and vulnerable to having sex with other people in the church, on the job, or at the coffee shop. None of these excuses have anything to do with having sex. Whyte hopes you love your spouse, but Tina Turner was right when she raised the question, “What’s love got to do with it?” Millions of us wicked sinners have had sex with people we didn’t love, like, and in some cases, we did not even know because that desire for sex is a fiery need that must be taken care of, especially in real men. 
5. The Evangelical Church is generally trying to lead the Church, as a whole, into sin by forsaking several things that the Church has always stood against: (A.) Divorce and remarriage, which has led to millions of people living in adultery, and that has led to many men and women being vulnerable to having sex with people they are not married to because contrary to what many believe now, sexual desire is a fire that has to be extinguished regularly. Many Divorce Care Ministries are nothing more than hook-up sites for horny formerly married people who are used to having sex but refuse to have sex with their God-given spouses. People have been allowed to stay in the church even though they have been divorced and remarried when that was not the case years ago. (B.) People who were living in fornication or shacking up have been allowed to remain as members of the church when that was not the case years ago. 
6. Some Evangelical “church leaders” have attempted to lead much of the Protestant side of the Church to accept the abomination of sodomy/homosexuality, which is not only a sin and an abomination against God, but it is an intentional Judas betrayal of God, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God. Choosing to commit this abomination in God’s sight, opens up the door for gross sin in the church that most Evangelical so-called leaders and pastors do not understand. Most church leaders and pastors do not understand that if you do something over here “in a corner” that is diametrically opposed to God’s clear teaching in His Word there is a negative reaction from God in Heaven against the church and “God’s people” who are perpetrating that evil.
7. There is an evangelical-church-leaders-pastor cabal of silence that fights to keep the pastoral perpetrators of sexual abuse, rape, sex trafficking, child molestation, and sodomy/homosexuality among pastors in place. They cover up each other’s sins and fight to keep them in place for years, and they have harmed and destroyed many lives often-times because of Judas’ 30 pieces of silver “filthy lucre” money. Sad to say, the evangelical church, which used to be a stalwart, a protector, and a keeper of the faith, now is just as guilty as the Catholic church of covering up the sins of the bishops, pastors, and so-called “church leaders,” whom God is rebuking and chastising in real-time in this life and will do in the life to come because lost souls are being damned to hell by these lies, cover-ups, and hypocrisy. GOD HAVE MERCY!

International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC) founder Mike Bickle covered up his son’s affair with the wife of an IHOPKC department head, according to videos released today by former top IHOPKC leaders.

“This is manipulation, coercion, threats, intimidation—that is, a shepherd with a huge platform is willing . . . to lie and coerce. That is what we’re speaking to,” said former IHOPKC Executive Leadership Team (ELT) member Wes Martin in a video. “(I)t’s exposing a liar. It’s exposing someone who was willing to intimidate and threaten in order to . . . keep his position or to keep the secrets hidden.”

In October, some of the 15 former IHOPKC executive leaders, known as the “advocate group”(AG), released a statement accusing Bickle of clergy sexual abuse with multiple women over decades.  Today, the AG released another statement, as well as three explosive videos.

 

The statement addressed allegations brought by the five alleged “Jane Does” that the AG had falsely named them as victims of Bickle’s clergy sexual abuse and then harassed them. In the statement, the AG denied the allegations, saying the group didn’t harass the women or name them in documents given to the ELT.

The videos addressed an allegation by IHOPKC worship leader and former Executive Leadership Team (ELT) member, Misty Edwards, that the AG had conspired to “take down” Bickle before learning of any alleged victims.

According to the videos, the AG members were heartbroken when they learned of Bickle’s misconduct and sought to address matters internally. However, the responses from Bickle and other IHOPKC leaders made the AG members even more concerned and eventually compelled them to blow the whistle.

“This is about exposing wickedness that is within the church. Period,” said AG member Wes Martin. “It has nothing to do with conspiracy. . . . I want to see that exposed because when that’s not exposed, it creates rot in the church.”

Former IHOPKC leaders say Bickle covered up son’s adultery

In one video, AG members Dean Briggs and John Chisholm describe how they learned that Luke Bickle, Mike Bickle’s son, was engaged in an adulterous affair with the wife of an IHOPKC department head. Yet, when they brought the matter to former IHOPKC Executive Director Stuart Greaves and Bickle, the two seemingly conspired to cover up the years-long affair.

 

The Roys Report (TRR) reached out to Greaves, Mike Bickle, and Luke Bickle for comment, but did not receive any response.

We also reached out to the husband of the woman involved in the alleged affair, whose name was shared confidentially with TRR. He did not respond to our request for comment.

TRR had reached out months ago through Facebook to the woman allegedly involved with Luke Bickle. She did not respond. We reached out again recently through social media and email but have not received a response.

In the video, Briggs also alleged that Mike Bickle engaged in “very questionable interactions” for six years with the wife before Luke had the affair with the same woman.

“So that man, in double fashion, was destroyed by Mike’s influence on his wife and his son’s affair with his wife,” Briggs said. “That’s a problem.”

Testimony by the woman’s husband was included in a 50-page document that the AG used to present their allegations to Greaves and other members of IHOPKC’s ELT, Briggs said.

“(The woman’s husband) is a victim as much as the other Jane Does are victims, relative to what’s happening,” Chisholm said.

Chisholm said the husband had told Chisholm about his wife’s affair with Luke and asked for his help arranging a meeting between them and Mike Bickle. But Chisholm said Bickle refused the three-person meeting and instead met with Chisholm one-on-one.

“I didn’t get anywhere,” Chisholm said. “I just sort of stopped it at the end of the half hour because I wasn’t getting anywhere in terms of him understanding what’s really happening and my hope about how he would get involved.”

Then, about six months ago, Chisholm said he learned that the affair between Luke Bickle and man’s wife was still happening. So, Chisholm met with Greaves.

 

“His challenge back to me was, ‘You know you have no idea what Mike is doing as it relates to this. You have no idea what I’m doing,’” Chisholm said. “And my pushback was, ‘That’s my point. Nobody knows.’”

Who Abused Whom?—Allegations Go Both Ways in Ongoing Sex Abuse Scandal at IHOPKC

A statement by women claiming that an advocate group falsely named them as victims of abuse by International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC) Founder Mike Bickle has ignited a firestorm online. It also has prompted strong denials from the advocate group, which today published a statement and three videos, containing new evidence in the ongoing Bickle clergy sex abuse scandal.

Among the bombshell revelations in the videos is testimony that Luke Bickle, Mike Bickle’s son, was engaged in a years-long adulterous affair, which his father allegedly tried to cover up. The videos also provide background as to why the advocate group, which first published allegations of clergy sexual abuse against Bickle in October, decided to blow the whistle.

This latest chapter in the ongoing IHOPKC sex abuse saga began last Thursday when a “Protest Statement,” claiming to represent the views of at least five falsely named “Jane Does,” was posted online. In the statement, the women accused the AG of falsely identifying them as Bickle’s victims and then abusing them when the women didn’t submit to the AG’s narrative.

“Behind the scenes we have been harassed, secretly recorded, had family members contacted, had our phone numbers given out, and been bullied and pressured to ‘admit’ to being victims . . .” the statement said. It added that when the women denied “such untruths,” they were “gaslit, told that these people know the true stories of our lives better than we do, and had the narratives they have formed about our lives suggestively put in media articles and social media posts, or threatened to be put in public articles.”

The statement was posted online by two of the five alleged “Does.” One of them is April Rose, who worked closely with Bickle for years as a researcher, multiple sources told The Roys Report (TRR). The other woman is popular IHOPKC worship leader Misty Edwards.

An October 2023 staff list obtained by The Roys Report (TRR) listed Edwards as a member of IHOPKC’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and as “Mike Bickle Products Director.” However, when asked online about Edwards’ position last week, IHOPKC Spokesman Eric Volz stated that Edwards resigned from the ELT “several months” ago.

Neither Volz nor Edwards responded to TRR’s request for clarity about when and why Edwards resigned.

Yesterday, Edwards also posted a personal statement on X, accusing the AG of hatching a plan “behind closed doors . . . to bring down Mike Bickle and IHOPKC.” Edwards said the AG devised the plan “BEFORE there were multiple alleged ‘Jane Does’ . . . (T)hen the search for ‘victims’ to fill in that 40 year time line began.”

Several minutes after posting the statement, Edwards removed it. Then, she re-posted it and removed it again. At the time of publishing, the statement was not posted on Edwards’ feed.

Two members of the AG—former senior IHOPKC leaders Dwayne Roberts and Dean Briggs—claimed in separate, online posts over the weekend that the AG never publicized the names of the alleged Jane Does. Instead, the men claimed IHOPKC shared a confidential document from the AG with Bickle, which included initials of some alleged victims.

On X, Roberts wrote that he and other advocates created a “working document” months ago. This document, purported to be 50 pages long, included “the initials of women who agreed to be named and the ex-spouse of one victim.”

In a separate post on Facebook, Briggs wrote that the document also included a list of five other, “possible Jane Does,” who were “numbered, not named.”

Roberts said he used this working document as an “outline” during an Oct. 24 meeting with IHOPKC’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT), two other AG members, and himself. Roberts said he met the next day with Stuart Greaves, IHOPKC’s former executive director who resigned last month.

Roberts said that during the meeting with Greaves, he shared a couple names of possible victims in confidence, “which I now fully regret doing.” Roberts claimed that after that meeting, Greaves met with Bickle and discussed the document.

“I felt utterly betrayed because this was not (the document’s) intended use and exposed victims,” Roberts wrote.

TRR reached out to Greaves for comment but did not hear back.

Volz accuses AG, AG responds

In response to Roberts’ statement, IHOPKC Spokesman Eric Volz accused Roberts and Briggs of triggering “a global crisis in the prayer movement.”

In a meeting in October, Briggs had publicly confronted IHOPKC leaders for failing to give any details about the allegations against Bickle in their announcement. Briggs called the announcement “righteous bullshit” in an interaction captured on video.

Similarly, Roberts was the AG member who published the initial statement accusing Bickle of clergy sexual abuse.

“The initial events, specifically the iPhone video of Dean Briggs yelling profanity during the Oct. 27 staff service and your decision to prematurely release a condemning statement about Mike Bickle on Instagram to over 147,000 people in Brazil, are the sparks that ignited this fire,” Volz said.

(Roberts maintains he published the statement on his church’s website, not social media.)

Volz also published two pages from the “50 page document” that Roberts gave Greaves. Volz claimed the pages confirmed “it was not a ‘working document’” because it contained “required” actions, not “simple ‘suggestions.’”

In addition, Volz claimed on X that the AG told “many stories” that it did “not verify or have permission to tell and that has caused harm to innocent people.” Volz reiterated the alleged Does’ claim that “they were bullied, harassed and manipulated as part of this questionable process.”

Today, Roberts posted a statement on X on behalf of the entire AG, addressing the allegations.

The statement claimed that at no point since the Oct. 24 meeting “has there been any contact with any of these women, with the exception of Misty Edwards.”

The statement added that Dwayne Roberts’ wife, Jennifer Roberts, met with Edwards on Oct. 24 “in a non-confrontational meeting and discussed with her the abuse the main Jane Doe suffered (with her permission).” Then, “at (Edwards’) request,” Edwards met with other members of the AG, so they could “hear Misty’s side.”

“(T)hese conversations were ones of humble listening and would in no way be characterized as ‘bullying’ or trying to force anything onto Misty,” the statement added.

The AG statement also addressed a claim by the alleged Does in their statement that they have been traumatized by IHOPKC’s three investigations.

“We are deeply sorry that these women were seemingly forced to be interviewed three times, but the Advocate Group cannot be held responsible for a process unilaterally determined by IHOPKC and in which we have no involvement,” the AG statement said.

Charisma CEO Calls Exposure of Mike Bickle’s Alleged Sex Abuse a ‘Spiritual Attack’

Charisma Media CEO Stephen Strang calls exposure of alleged clergy sexual abuse by IHOPKC Founder Mike Bickle a “spiritual attack” in a podcast Thursday. (Source: Video screengrab)

In a podcast Thursday, Charisma Media CEO Stephen Strang repeatedly called exposure of alleged clergy sexual abuse by Mike Bickle, founder of the International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC), a “spiritual attack.” He further claimed that “to burn the ministry to the ground is just the tool of Satan.” And he expressed hope that Bickle “reemerges in ministry stronger than . . . before.”

Strang used the strong language during his interview with IHOPKC Executive Director General Kurt Fuller on Strang’s podcast, the Strang Report.

Strang also stated that “charges were leveled about Bickle” on October 7—“the same day that Hamas attacked Israel.” (The first meeting with IHOPKC leaders concerning Bickle’s alleged clergy sex abuse was on Oct. 9, according to members of the so-called “advocate group,” working with alleged victims of Bickle’s.)

“This persecution is coming from within the Christian community,” Strang alleged. “. . . There have been people that are just waiting for this and are downright nasty. To burn a ministry to the ground is just the tool of Satan . . . I hope Mike Bickle—this is my opinion, as his friend—I hope he reemerges in ministry stronger than he ever has before.”

Strang’s comments sparked strong backlash on social media, with people labeling his actions a “PR campaign,” “master class on unbiblical leadership,” and “DARVO,” which stands for deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender.

Even on Strang’s YouTube page, most of the responses were negative.

“The Strang Report just imploded on itself with one of the most bantenly obsurd (sic) videos,” wrote someone named Ron Lagerquist. “. . . This is not an attack from Satan. This is a sad story of a man who could not keep it in his pants and used prophecy to manipulate young women.”

A few commenters supported Strang, though. One wrote Bickle is “innocent until proven guilty” and another stated, “Stephen Strang and General Fuller are taking the appropriate action that I believe Jesus would take.”

 

The Roys Report (TRR) reached out to Strang for comment, but he did not respond.

Enough!

Strang’s interview with Fuller published hours after Fuller announced in a video entitled “Enough!” that he would no longer negotiate with the “advocate group” (AG). Fuller also accused the AG of lying and referred to the AG, some of whom were founding members of IHOPKC, as “men I barely know.”

“I cannot and will not work with or concede to the demands of people who do not tell the truth,” Fuller said. “To do so would compromise my own principles and our organizational sovereignty. It would be completely irresponsible.’

The AG is comprised of 15 former, top IHOPKC leaders who brought the allegations against Bickle to IHOPKC leaders privately. Then, when their efforts didn’t produced the desired results, the AG published the allegations in late October.

Fuller and the AG have reached an impasse concerning who should conduct a third-party investigation into the allegations against Bickle. Fuller said he is sticking with the law firm IHOPKC hired in December, the Lathrop Group. The AG has claimed the Lathrop Group is not independent and has refused to work with Lathrop.

Dr. Michael Brown Calls for ‘New Direction’ to Resolve IHOPKC Sex Abuse Scandal, Following ‘Impasse’

Dr. Michael Brown calls for a “new direction” to resolve sex scandal at the International House of Prayer Kansas City. (Source: Video Screengrab)

Charismatic Christian leader Dr. Michael Brown today called for a “new direction” to resolve the sex abuse scandal at the International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC), following an “impasse” between IHOPKC leaders and an “advocate group.”

“I made a public commitment November 5, that if things did not go in the right direction, I would be the loudest one calling for account,” Brown, who at one time served as an adviser for IHOPKC, said. “. . . So, I’m seeking to raise my voice as loudly and clearly as possible to say there must be a new direction.”

 

Brown explained that negotiations have broken down between IHOPKC and the advocate group (AG)—15 former, top IHOPKC leaders who published allegations of clergy sexual abuse against IHOPKC Founder Mike Bickle in October.

As a result of the impasse, Brown appealed to “senior, respected leaders” in the “Body of Christ” to “find a third party” to investigate the allegations that is acceptable” to the AG. Then, those leaders need to pursue the investigation, independent of IHOPKC, Brown suggested.

“The body of Christ is hurting terribly right now,” Brown said. “The name of Jesus is suffering terrible reproach. The Holy Spirit is being mocked. People are losing their faith in Jesus over this. . . . We all have to humble ourselves and come together and find a path forward.”

Brown’s announcement, posted on YouTube, comes just hours after IHOPKC posted a defiant address, titled “Enough!,” by interim IHOPKC Executive Director General Kurt Fuller.

In the address, Fuller accused the AG of lying in videos the group published yesterday. And he expressed anger that the AG had refused to give him information or participate in the third-party investigation IHOPKC had commissioned last month.

(Both the AG and the lawyer representing Bickle’s alleged victims have claimed IHOPKC’s investigation is not independent. They have asked IHOPKC for an investigation by a mutually-agreed-upon firm.)

 

“I can’t understand why they would not have provided these videos to me to support their claims,” Fuller said. “I’m the one person who has both the authority and responsibility to properly adjudicate this case and hold people accountable. They haven’t even given me a chance to do that. I leave it to you to judge their motives for this.”

IHOPKC spars with attorney Boz Tchividjian after multiple Jane Does deny abuse

An attorney for International House of Prayer Kansas City publicly sparred online with noted attorney and Billy Graham’s grandson, Boz Tchividjian, over the strength of abuse allegations against the ministry’s founder, Mike Bickle, after five of eight Jane Does an advocate group claimed were victims publicly denied the allegations.

The response from IHOPKC’s attorney to Tchividjian came after he took issue with ministry spokesman Eric Volz’s claim on the social platform X that he, along with the ministry’s interim executive director Kurt Fuller, had met with the advocate group to discuss hiring a “mutually agreed upon 3rd party investigator” to review the allegations against Bickle.

“This is what the IHOP attorney emailed to me just two days ago … you be the judge,” Tchividjian began in a statement on X Sunday night addressing Volz’s claim.

“[I]f you or the Group claim other alleged Jane Doe victims have come forth, we need to know the who, what, when, and where of any other claimed victimizations. If that information is provided, we pledge to review and investigate as warranted. 2/4 [Keep reading…it gets better]

“If this request is once again refused, as it has been on multiple occasions in the past, IHOP will have no choice but to assume that like the prior and now debunked ‘victimization’ allegations against ‘at least 5 Jane Does’, 3/4 [Get ready for the clincher]

“there is no real substance to any such other unsupported allegation, and they will be dismissed.”

In a joint statement last October, IHOPKC founding member Dwayne Roberts, former IHOPKC Executive Leadership Team member Brian Kim and former Forerunner Church Pastor Wes Martin revealed they were the ones who first confronted IHOPKC leaders about the allegations against Bickle spanning “several decades.”

They alleged that before meeting with IHOPKC’s leadership team, they attempted to discuss the allegations directly with Bickle “in the spirit of Matthew 18:15-17” but were rebuffed. They claimed that Bickle also attempted to intimidate, isolate, manipulate and discredit his alleged victims.

In its “Report on Initial Findings,” IHOPKC’s executive leadership team said they treated the allegations against Bickle as credible and asked Bickle to step away from public ministry when they were first confronted with the allegations on Oct. 24.

The IHOPKC leaders identified five of some eight women who the complaint group alleged are Bickle’s victims and found the evidence thin. Three of the alleged victims called the allegations “lies.'” One of the alleged victims refused to communicate with the attorneys for the ministry. Only one woman, identified as Jane Doe, who Tchividjian is representing, was found to be credible.

On Jan. 16, IHOPKC worship leader Misty Edwards released a joint statement on behalf of herself and four other women misidentified as Bickle’s victims.

“Many of us alleged Jane Does have been silent throughout the months of the three IHOPKC investigations and difficult ordeal. While other voices have chosen to clamor loudly and insistently, we have maintained our silence, desiring to retain whatever measure of privacy of life we could that was left after our lives were invaded by the violating behavior of those involved in a calculated ‘Jane Doe’ campaign that is being done in the name of ‘love, transparency, justice, and advocacy,'” the statement noted, criticizing the advocate group.

“While a narrative has been presented of many female victims whom the ‘advocate’ group is representing, the true story that has not come out is how many of those victims were involuntarily labelled that and had narratives constructed by others forced upon our lives, that we have been forced to defend ourselves from. This has been painful, humiliating, and traumatizing to all of us.”

Popular Pastor Mike Breen, who was a Pastor of Pastors Across the Evangelical and Anglican Landscape, Has WISELY QUICKLY RESIGNED as Pastor of Apex Church in Dayton, Ohio, Over Alleged “SEXUAL MISCONDUCT” With a “VULNERABLE” Church Member

Popular Pastor Mike Breen, who was a Pastor of Pastors Across the Evangelical and Anglican Landscape, Has WISELY QUICKLY RESIGNED as Pastor of Apex Church in Dayton, Ohio, Over Alleged “SEXUAL MISCONDUCT” With a “VULNERABLE” Church Member.

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, first commends former Pastor Mike Breen for admitting his sin and resigning immediately instead of taking his family, the church congregation, and related pastors and churches through hell. This will save the church heartache, possible division, in the church, and or lost church members, and thousands of dollars, maybe millions of dollars. On top of that, the church can quickly move on from the pastor’s mess and practice the “next man-up” philosophy. Whyte tells T.D. Jakes, Albert Tate, Matt Chandler, and others to “Go, and do thou likewise.” 

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says the Church as a Whole is in an ILLICIT SEXUAL CRISIS rooted in the following:

1. In the God-given, legitimate, explosive, hunger, and desire by men for sex, which Evangelical-Charismatic church leaders and pastors have tried to beat down in men over the past five decades by emasculating and making men more effeminate in the Church by beating them down in front of their wives and family members and promoting the false idea that the man is always wrong and the woman is always right and put on a pedestal which she does not belong on and that the man ought to submit to the wife.
2. Kelvinator-refrigerator, proud, arrogant, stubborn, unsubmissive, witchcraft wives who make themselves ugly to a husband even though they may be pretty on the outside but are not willing to give the husband sex-on-demand cheerfully and joyfully like that woman in the church, who will leave her job on her lunch break, not eat, to meet with the pastor in the pastor’s office and perform oral sex on him and “swallow” to satisfy his need and then go back to work.
3. Because these “church leaders” and pastors are not getting sex on demand from a willing, loving, cheerful wife who also keeps herself clean and looking good, these sex-starved men are getting on their computers and devices and filling their hearts and minds with vile pornography. Looking at pornography is an attempt for most of these men to “have sex” they are not having with their spouses. By the way, the Evangelical-produced and promoted movie Fireproof plot line was bogus. The truth about that movie is the husband was a good, hardworking man and a good husband struggling with “peeking” at pornography but who was dealing with a Kelvinator-refrigerator, arrogant, bossy, looking-down-her-nose-at-her-husband, whorish wife, who was flirting on the job like it was her husband’s fault, which an adrift evangelical movement loves (The wife is always holy and right; the man is always unholy and wrong). With that said, any man who claims to be a Christian and is looking at pornography is sinning against God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God, and there is no such thing as BEING ADDICTED TO PORNOGRAPHY! Porn addiction among Christians is an idea promoted by misguided Evangelicals who negate the power of being a born-again-saved Christian. If a man is addicted to pornography, he is lost and on his way to hell. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are not going to sit there and watch pornography with you. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are going to put a stop to that through rebuke, guilt, and chastisement, or you are simply not a born-again-saved Christian. This goes for men and women, pastors and pastors’ wives because now we have just as many pastors’ wives addicted to pornography as their husbands. Whyte says further that there is an illicit sexual crisis in the Church because many so-called bishops, pastors, pastors’ wives, and “church leaders” are in ministry, but they are lost. They are not true believers in Christ. They are counterfeits, hypocrites, Judases, and false prophets. 
4. Many so-called evangelical church couples simply do not take advantage of the greatest gift to a married man and a married woman, for various stupid reasons and that is having guilt-free sex multiple times a week in a bed that God says is “undefiled.” These foolish excuses run the gamut such as: ‘I don’t love him or her anymore.’ ‘I am mad at him or her.’ ‘I don’t like being around him or her anymore.’ ‘There is too much stress in our marriage.’ ‘He or she does not do it for me any more sexually speaking.’ All of these excuses and foolishness lead to the man and the woman becoming “horny” and vulnerable to having sex with other people in the church, on the job, or at the coffee shop. None of these excuses have anything to do with having sex. Whyte hopes you love your spouse, but Tina Turner was right when she raised the question, “What’s love got to do with it?” Millions of us wicked sinners have had sex with people we didn’t love, like, and in some cases, we did not even know because that desire for sex is a fiery need that must be taken care of, especially in real men. 
5. The Evangelical Church is generally trying to lead the Church, as a whole, into sin by forsaking several things that the Church has always stood against: (A.) Divorce and remarriage, which has led to millions of people living in adultery, and that has led to many men and women being vulnerable to having sex with people they are not married to because contrary to what many believe now, sexual desire is a fire that has to be extinguished regularly. Many Divorce Care Ministries are nothing more than hook-up sites for horny formerly married people who are used to having sex but refuse to have sex with their God-given spouses. People have been allowed to stay in the church even though they have been divorced and remarried when that was not the case years ago. (B.) People who were living in fornication or shacking up have been allowed to remain as members of the church when that was not the case years ago. 
6. Some Evangelical “church leaders” have attempted to lead much of the Protestant side of the Church to accept the abomination of sodomy/homosexuality, which is not only a sin and an abomination against God, but it is an intentional Judas betrayal of God, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God. Choosing to commit this abomination in God’s sight, opens up the door for gross sin in the church that most Evangelical so-called leaders and pastors do not understand. Most church leaders and pastors do not understand that if you do something over here “in a corner” that is diametrically opposed to God’s clear teaching in His Word there is a negative reaction from God in Heaven against the church and “God’s people” who are perpetrating that evil.
7. There is an evangelical-church-leaders-pastor cabal of silence that fights to keep the pastoral perpetrators of sexual abuse, rape, sex trafficking, child molestation, and sodomy/homosexuality among pastors in place. They cover up each other’s sins and fight to keep them in place for years, and they have harmed and destroyed many lives often-times because of Judas’ 30 pieces of silver “filthy lucre” money. Sad to say, the evangelical church, which used to be a stalwart, a protector, and a keeper of the faith, now is just as guilty as the Catholic church of covering up the sins of the bishops, pastors, and so-called “church leaders,” whom God is rebuking and chastising in real-time in this life and will do in the life to come because lost souls are being damned to hell by these lies, cover-ups, and hypocrisy. GOD HAVE MERCY!

Pastor, author, and Christian entrepreneur, Mike Breen, has resigned as lead communicator at Apex Church in Dayton, Ohio, over alleged “sexual misconduct” with a “vulnerable” church member.

That’s according to a Jan. 15 statement from 3DMovements (3DM), an international coaching ministry for churches and pastors that Breen founded in 2004. Breen is no longer associated with 3DM. However, he leads a similar organization now, called Discipling Culture Collective.

“Mike Breen carried on an extended sexual affair with a vulnerable member of (Apex) church, which he has been leading,” the 3DM statement read. “Mike has confessed to the allegations of sexual misconduct and resigned from his leadership position at Apex.”

The 3DM statement added that Apex Church hired an independent agency to investigate the allegations against Breen. The investigation reportedly “found evidence that Mike also abused his power through bullying and intimidation, along with a reluctance, and sometimes a refusal, to seek reconciliation.”

The Roys Report (TRR) reached out to Apex Church for comment. The church responded that it had been advised by an attorney not to “share further information at this time.”

However, the church told TRR that Breen was placed on leave of absence “immediately upon learning of the accusations of sexual misconduct.” Breen resigned within a week, Apex added.

On Jan. 7, leaders of Apex Church announced to the congregation that Chad Osborne, who has preached often at the church, would serve as the new teaching team lead.

On Jan. 14, Apex shared a summary of the investigation report with its congregation, the church told TRR.

Apex also shared information about Breen’s misconduct during his tenure as pastor with 3DM, which then posted the information on its website. Apex did not post any statement about Breen’s misconduct on its own website.

3DM removed its statement on Breen a week after posting it and sending it in an email to 3DM supporters, though an archived version is still available.

“Some Board members felt the email was sufficient,” 3DM Board Chair Bob Rognlien explained in an email to TRR. “This does not imply any retraction . . . we stand by the statement.”

When asked if Breen’s conduct qualifies as adult clergy sexual abuse, Rognlien responded, “Yes, absolutely.” He added: “We reject any misuse of clerical power and stand with the victims of abuse. That is why we felt compelled to make a public statement about this situation.”

Prominent figure in evangelical, Anglican circles

For the past 30 years, Breen has been on-staff at multiple churches in the UK and US and leader in the missional movement.

For 10 years, Breen served as senior rector of St Thomas’ Church, Crookes, which reportedly was England’s highest-attendance church during Breen’s tenure.

Breen assumed the pastorate there in 1994, after the previous vicar, Chris Brain, allegedly abused some female parishioners.

During his time at St. Thomas, Breen became a proponent of fostering so-called “missional communities” which he defined in his books as “a group of 20–50 people forming an extended family on mission together.” This ministry model became a focus of his books, lectures, and conference speaking for the next two decades.

In 2004, Breen moved to the US, initially pastoring at Community Church of Joy in Glendale, Arizona. Two years later, he accepted a position with the Leadership Network to train pastors and plant churches. Breen led the ministries he founded, 3DMovements and The Order of Mission, for about a decade.

Breen also lectured at Fuller Theological Seminary in the early 2000s and subsequently studied at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in the Chicago area. His ministry has often made headlines, from Christianity Today and Church Leaders, to a feature in The Guardian titled “The sleek shall inherit the Church.”

In 2014, Breen handed off leadership of 3DM to others. However, 3DM continued to promote Breen’s teaching materials as recently as 2018 and 2019.

Breen also owns and operates 3DM Publishing, which has published dozens of titles, including two by current 3DM board chair Rognlien.

Rognlien said Breen’s publishing company has “created a lot of confusion” because it’s “completely separate” from the non-profit 3DM group. He said the board has asked Breen to stop using the 3DM brand name, but the ministry founder has declined to do so.

Time at Apex

When Breen accepted the senior pastor position at Apex Church in January 2019, he praised how the church had followed a “three-dimensional, missional” ministry approach.

A New List of Chapters to Read for the Nineteenth Day Have Been Posted Below.

WHYTE ALSO ANNOUNCES THAT ALONG WITH FASTING FOR 40 DAYS, WE WILL COMMENCE READING THE CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLE THROUGH IN 40 DAYS, STARTING ON WEDNESDAY 10th, 2024. This Fast is a continuation of last year’s fast, where we are fasting against the demonic destructive spirit of WOKEISM that is destroying the lives of young people. We are adding on prayer and fasting for the “Peace of Jerusalem,” the protection of the Israelites around the world as they are under the severest persecution in nearly one hundred years due to WOKEISM. We are also praying for the innocent Palestinians and for God’s people in the Church to humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face, turn from their wicked ways, truly repent of their sins, and get back to their first love — the Lord Jesus Christ. Daniel Whyte III will be communicating with all people who are fasting via his daily Gospel Light House of Prayer International Prayer and Devotional Service and through his Guided Prayers with the Prayer Motivator Minute, along with reading the Bible live and on demand via podcast streaming and video.

Daniel Whyte III is President of Gospel Light Society International, Pastor of Gospel Light House of Prayer International, “Crying in the Wilderness,” “Exiled on the Isle of Patmos,” and “Preaching the Gospel by any Means Necessary.” The 40 Day of Prayer, Fasting, and Chronological Bible Reading is in conjunction with the Whyte House Chronological Bible Reading Campaign.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Nineteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

LEVITICUS 15-25

Leviticus 15-18

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.

LEVITICUS 16

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord, and died;

² And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.

³ Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

⁴ He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.

⁵ And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

⁶ And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

⁷ And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

⁹ And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord‘s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.

¹⁰ But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

¹¹ And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:

¹² And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:

¹³ And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:

¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

¹⁵ Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

¹⁶ And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

¹⁷ And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

¹⁸ And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

²⁰ And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:

²¹ And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

²² And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

²³ And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:

²⁴ And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

²⁵ And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.

²⁶ And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

²⁷ And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

²⁸ And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

²⁹ And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

³⁰ For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.

³¹ It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

³² And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:

³³ And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

³⁴ And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the Lord commanded Moses.

LEVITICUS 17

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,

³ What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

⁴ And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

⁵ To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord.

⁶ And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

⁷ And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

⁸ And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,

⁹ And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁰ And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

¹¹ For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

¹² Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

¹³ And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

¹⁴ For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

¹⁵ And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

¹⁶ But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.

LEVITICUS 18

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.

³ After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

⁴ Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.

⁵ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.

⁶ None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.

⁷ The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

⁸ The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.

⁹ The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

¹⁰ The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.

¹¹ The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

¹² Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.

¹³ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

¹⁸ Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.

¹⁹ Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

²⁰ Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.

²¹ And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

²² Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

²³ Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

²⁷ (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

²⁸ That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19-22

LEVITICUS 19

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.

³ Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

⁴ Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.

⁵ And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will.

⁶ It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

⁷ And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.

⁸ Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

⁹ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

¹⁰ And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

¹¹ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

¹² And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

¹³ Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord.

¹⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.

¹⁹ Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

²⁰ And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

²¹ And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

²² And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

²³ And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

²⁴ But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the Lord withal.

²⁵ And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

²⁷ Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

²⁸ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

²⁹ Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

³⁰ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

³¹ Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

³² Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.

³³ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

³⁴ But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

³⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

³⁶ Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

³⁷ Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.

LEVITICUS 20

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

³ And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

⁴ And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

⁵ Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

⁶ And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

⁷ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.

⁸ And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you.

⁹ For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁰ And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

¹¹ And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹² And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

¹³ If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁴ And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

¹⁵ And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

¹⁶ And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁷ And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸ And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

¹⁹ And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.

²⁰ And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

²¹ And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.

²² Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

²³ And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²⁴ But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people.

²⁵ Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

²⁶ And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

²⁷ A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

² But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.

³ And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

⁴ But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

⁵ They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

⁶ They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

⁷ They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.

⁸ Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctify you, am holy.

⁹ And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

¹⁰ And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;

¹¹ Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

¹² Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.

¹³ And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹⁴ A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

¹⁵ Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the Lord do sanctify him.

¹⁶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷ Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

¹⁸ For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

¹⁹ Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

²⁰ Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

²¹ No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

²² He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

²³ Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify them.

²⁴ And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.

LEVITICUS 22

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.

³ Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.

⁴ What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

⁵ Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

⁶ The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.

⁷ And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

⁸ That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the Lord.

⁹ They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them.

¹⁰ There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

¹¹ But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.

¹² If the priest’s daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

¹³ But if the priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.

¹⁴ And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;

¹⁶ Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them.

¹⁷ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering;

¹⁹ Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

²² Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the Lord.

²³ Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

²⁴ Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.

²⁵ Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

²⁸ And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

²⁹ And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will.

³⁰ On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the Lord.

³¹ Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the Lord.

³² Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the Lord which hallow you,

³³ That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.

Leviticus 23-25

LEVITICUS 23

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

³ Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

⁴ These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

⁵ In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord‘s passover.

⁶ And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

⁷ In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

⁸ But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

⁹ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

¹¹ And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

¹² And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord.

¹³ And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.

¹⁴ And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

¹⁵ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

¹⁶ Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.

¹⁷ Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord.

¹⁸ And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the Lord.

¹⁹ Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

²⁰ And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord for the priest.

²¹ And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

²² And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

²³ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁴ Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

²⁵ Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

²⁶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

²⁸ And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.

²⁹ For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

³⁰ And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

³¹ Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

³² It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

³³ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

³⁴ Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.

³⁵ On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

³⁶ Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.

³⁷ These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

³⁸ Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord.

³⁹ Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

⁴⁰ And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.

⁴¹ And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

⁴² Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

⁴³ That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

⁴⁴ And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

LEVITICUS 24

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

³ Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

⁴ He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

⁵ And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

⁶ And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.

⁷ And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

⁸ Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

⁹ And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute.

¹⁰ And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

¹¹ And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

¹² And they put him in ward, that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them.

¹³ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁴ Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

¹⁵ And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

¹⁶ And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

¹⁷ And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸ And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

¹⁹ And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

²⁰ Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

²¹ And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

²² Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God.

²³ And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.

LEVITICUS 25

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord.

³ Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

⁴ But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

⁵ That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

⁶ And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.

⁷ And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

⁸ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

⁹ Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

¹⁰ And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

¹¹ A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

¹² For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

¹³ In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

¹⁴ And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

¹⁵ According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

¹⁶ According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

¹⁷ Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the Lord your God.

¹⁸ Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

¹⁹ And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

²⁰ And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

²¹ Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

²² And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

²³ The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

²⁴ And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

²⁵ If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

²⁶ And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

²⁷ Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

²⁸ But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

²⁹ And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

³⁰ And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

³¹ But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

³² Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

³³ And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

³⁴ But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

³⁵ And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

³⁶ Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

³⁷ Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

³⁸ I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

³⁹ And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

⁴⁰ But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.

⁴¹ And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

⁴² For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

⁴³ Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

⁴⁴ Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

⁴⁵ Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

⁴⁶ And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

⁴⁷ And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:

⁴⁸ After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

⁴⁹ Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

⁵⁰ And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

⁵¹ If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

⁵² And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

⁵³ And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

⁵⁴ And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

⁵⁵ For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Eighteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

LEVITICUS 12-14

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Seventeenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

LEVITICUS 9-11

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

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.

LEVITICUS 11

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.

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.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Sixteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

LEVITICUS 6-8

LEVITICUS 6

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

³ Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

⁴ Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

⁵ Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

⁶ And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:

⁷ And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

⁸ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

⁹ Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.

¹⁰ And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

¹¹ And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.

¹² And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.

¹³ The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

¹⁴ And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, before the altar.

¹⁵ And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the Lord.

¹⁶ And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.

¹⁷ It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

¹⁸ All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.

¹⁹ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁰ This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.

²¹ In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

²² And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the Lord; it shall be wholly burnt.

²³ For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

²⁴ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁵ Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord: it is most holy.

²⁶ The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

²⁷ Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.

²⁸ But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

²⁹ All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.

³⁰ And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.

LEVITICUS 7

1 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.

² In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.

³ And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,

⁴ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:

⁵ And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a trespass offering.

⁶ Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.

⁷ As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

⁸ And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

⁹ And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it.

¹⁰ And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.

¹¹ And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the Lord.

¹² If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.

¹³ Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

¹⁴ And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.

¹⁵ And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

¹⁶ But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

¹⁷ But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

¹⁸ And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁹ And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

²⁰ But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²¹ Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the Lord, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²² And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²³ Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

²⁴ And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

²⁵ For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶ Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

²⁷ Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²⁸ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁹ Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the Lord shall bring his oblation unto the Lord of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

³⁰ His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

³¹ And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

³² And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

³³ He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

³⁴ For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.

³⁵ This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord in the priest’s office;

³⁶ Which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

³⁸ Which the Lord commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.

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 the 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.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Fifteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

LEVITICUS 3-5

LEVITICUS 3

1 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord.

² And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

³ And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

⁴ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

⁵ And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

⁶ And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

⁷ If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the Lord.

⁸ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

⁹ And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

¹⁰ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

¹¹ And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the Lord.

¹² And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord.

¹³ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.

¹⁴ And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

¹⁵ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

¹⁶ And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is the Lord‘s.

¹⁷ It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.

LEVITICUS 4

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

³ If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.

⁴ And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the Lord.

⁵ And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

⁶ And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.

⁷ And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁸ And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

⁹ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,

¹⁰ As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.

¹¹ And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

¹² Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

¹³ And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

¹⁴ When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

¹⁵ And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord: and the bullock shall be killed before the Lord.

¹⁶ And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock’s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:

¹⁷ And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even before the vail.

¹⁸ And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

¹⁹ And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.

²⁰ And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

²¹ And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

²² When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

²³ Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

²⁴ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is a sin offering.

²⁵ And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

²⁶ And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

²⁷ And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

²⁸ Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

²⁹ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

³⁰ And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

³¹ And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

³² And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

³³ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

³⁴ And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

³⁵ And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

LEVITICUS 5

1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

² Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.

³ Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.

⁴ Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

⁵ And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

⁶ And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

⁷ And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the Lord; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

⁸ And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.

¹⁰ And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

¹¹ But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.

¹² Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: it is a sin offering.

¹³ And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.

¹⁴ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁵ If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.

¹⁶ And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.

¹⁷ And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸ And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.

¹⁹ It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the Lord.

Exodus 40

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

³ And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

⁴ And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

⁵ And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

⁶ And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

⁷ And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

⁸ And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

⁹ And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

¹⁰ And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

¹¹ And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

¹² And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

¹³ And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

¹⁴ And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

¹⁵ And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

¹⁶ Thus did Moses: according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he.

¹⁷ And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

¹⁸ And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

¹⁹ And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the Lord commanded Moses.

²⁰ And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

²¹ And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the Lord commanded Moses.

²² And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

²³ And he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

²⁴ And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

²⁵ And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.

²⁶ And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

²⁷ And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the Lord commanded Moses.

²⁸ And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

²⁹ And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the Lord commanded Moses.

³⁰ And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

³¹ And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

³² When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses.

³³ And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

³⁴ Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

³⁵ And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

³⁶ And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

³⁷ But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

³⁸ For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

Leviticus 1

Leviticus 1-2

King James Version

1 And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

³ If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.

⁴ And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

⁵ And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁶ And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

⁷ And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

⁸ And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

⁹ But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

¹⁰ And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

¹¹ And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

¹² And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

¹³ But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

¹⁴ And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

¹⁵ And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:

¹⁶ And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:

¹⁷ And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

2 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

² And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:

³ And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

⁴ And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

⁵ And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

⁶ Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

⁷ And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

⁸ And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.

⁹ And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

¹⁰ And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

¹¹ No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire.

¹² As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

¹³ And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

¹⁴ And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

¹⁵ And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

¹⁶ And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Fifteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

Exodus 37-39

EXODUS 37

1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

² And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

³ And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

⁴ And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

⁵ And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

⁶ And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

⁷ And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

⁸ One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

⁹ And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

¹⁰ And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

¹¹ And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

¹² Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

¹³ And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.

¹⁴ Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

¹⁵ And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

¹⁶ And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.

¹⁷ And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

¹⁸ And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:

¹⁹ Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

²⁰ And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

²¹ And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

²² Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

²³ And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.

²⁴ Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

²⁵ And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

²⁶ And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.

²⁷ And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.

²⁸ And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.

EXODUS 38

1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.

² And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.

³ And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.

⁴ And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.

⁵ And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.

⁶ And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.

⁷ And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.

⁸ And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁹ And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:

¹⁰ Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

¹¹ And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

¹² And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

¹³ And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.

¹⁴ The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

¹⁵ And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

¹⁶ All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.

¹⁷ And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

¹⁸ And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.

¹⁹ And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.

²⁰ And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

²¹ This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

²² And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.

²³ And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

²⁴ All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

²⁵ And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

²⁶ A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

²⁷ And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

²⁸ And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.

²⁹ And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

³⁰ And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

³¹ And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

EXODUS 39

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the Lord commanded Moses.

² And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

³ And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.

⁴ They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

⁵ And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁶ And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

⁷ And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁸ And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

⁹ It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

¹⁰ And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

¹¹ And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

¹² And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

¹³ And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

¹⁴ And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

¹⁵ And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.

¹⁶ And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

¹⁷ And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

¹⁸ And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

¹⁹ And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.

²⁰ And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

²¹ And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord commanded Moses.

²² And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

²³ And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

²⁴ And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

²⁵ And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

²⁶ A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the Lord commanded Moses.

²⁷ And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

²⁸ And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

²⁹ And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the Lord commanded Moses.

³⁰ And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, Holiness To The Lord.

³¹ And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the Lord commanded Moses.

³² Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.

³³ And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,

³⁴ And the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the vail of the covering,

³⁵ The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

³⁶ The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

³⁷ The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

³⁸ And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

³⁹ The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

⁴⁰ The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

⁴¹ The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister in the priest’s office.

⁴² According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

⁴³ And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Fourteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

Exodus 34-36

EXODUS 34

1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

² And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.

³ And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

⁴ And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

⁵ And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.

⁶ And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

⁷ Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

⁸ And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

⁹ And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

¹⁰ And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

¹¹ Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

¹² Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

¹³ But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

¹⁴ For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

¹⁵ Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

¹⁶ And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

¹⁷ Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

¹⁸ The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

¹⁹ All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

²⁰ But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

²¹ Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

²² And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

²³ Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.

²⁴ For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year.

²⁵ Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

²⁶ The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

²⁷ And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

²⁸ And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

²⁹ And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

³⁰ And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

³¹ And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.

³² And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

³³ And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.

³⁴ But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

³⁵ And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

EXODUS 35

1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them.

² Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

³ Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

⁴ And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying,

⁵ Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord; gold, and silver, and brass,

⁶ And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

⁷ And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,

⁸ And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

⁹ And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.

¹⁰ And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the Lord hath commanded;

¹¹ The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

¹² The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,

¹³ The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,

¹⁴ The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,

¹⁵ And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

¹⁶ The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

¹⁷ The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,

¹⁸ The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

¹⁹ The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.

²⁰ And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

²¹ And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord‘s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.

²² And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord.

²³ And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers’ skins, brought them.

²⁴ Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord‘s offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

²⁵ And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.

²⁶ And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.

²⁷ And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;

²⁸ And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

²⁹ The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

³⁰ And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

³¹ And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

³² And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

³³ And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

³⁴ And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

³⁵ Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

EXODUS 36

1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.

² And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

³ And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

⁴ And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

⁵ And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make.

⁶ And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

⁷ For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

⁸ And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

⁹ The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

¹⁰ And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

¹¹ And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

¹² Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

¹³ And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

¹⁴ And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

¹⁵ The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

¹⁶ And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

¹⁷ And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

¹⁸ And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

¹⁹ And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above that.

²⁰ And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

²¹ The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.

²² One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

²³ And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:

²⁴ And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

²⁵ And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

²⁶ And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

²⁷ And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

²⁸ And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

²⁹ And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

³⁰ And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

³¹ And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

³² And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

³³ And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

³⁴ And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

³⁵ And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.

³⁶ And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

³⁷ And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

³⁸ And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.

Below are the scripture passages that we will be reading for the Thirteenth day of the 40-Day Chronological Reading of the Bible.

Exodus 31-33

EXODUS 31

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

² See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

³ And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

⁴ To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

⁵ And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

⁶ And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;

⁷ The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,

⁸ And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,

⁹ And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,

¹⁰ And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,

¹¹ And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

¹² And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

¹³ Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.

¹⁴ Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁵ Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶ Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁷ It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

¹⁸ And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

EXODUS 32

1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

² And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

³ And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

⁴ And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

⁵ And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord.

⁶ And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

⁷ And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

⁸ They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

⁹ And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

¹⁰ Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

¹¹ And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

¹² Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

¹⁴ And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

¹⁵ And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

¹⁶ And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

¹⁷ And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

¹⁸ And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

¹⁹ And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

²⁰ And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

²¹ And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

²² And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

²³ For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

²⁴ And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

²⁵ And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

²⁶ Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord‘s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

²⁷ And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

²⁸ And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

²⁹ For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

³⁰ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

³¹ And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

³² Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin–; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

³³ And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

³⁴ Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

³⁵ And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

EXODUS 33

1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

² And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

³ Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

⁴ And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

⁵ For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

⁶ And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

⁷ And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

⁸ And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

⁹ And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

¹⁰ And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

¹¹ And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

¹² And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

¹³ Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

¹⁴ And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

¹⁵ And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

¹⁶ For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

¹⁷ And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

¹⁸ And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

¹⁹ And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

²⁰ And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

²¹ And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

²² And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

²³ And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

HERE WE GO, AND THE DEVIL IS A LIE! WHAT ASBURY REVIVAL? Nearly 30% of Gen Z Now Say They’re Sodomite/Homosexual “Queers,” and the Millennials are right there with them. On top of that, nearly 30% of US adults are not connected to a church and are referred to as “Nones.” How is that homosexual-led fake Asbury revival working for you?

 

HERE WE GO, AND THE DEVIL IS A LIE! WHAT ASBURY REVIVAL? Nearly 30% of Gen Z Now Say They’re Sodomite/Homosexual “Queers,” and the Millennials are right there with them. On top of that, nearly 30% of US adults are not connected to a church and are referred to as “Nones.” How is that homosexual-led fake Asbury revival working for you?

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says the sodomite/homosexual-led fake Asbury revival never worked because it was not real and it is not working now. Sadly, he and this news site BlackChristianNews.com have been attacked not by the sodomite/homosexual community but by a few “leading evangelicals” and the evangelical machine through their connections with Big Tech in an attempt to cancel Whyte and Bcnn1.com because they called the revival fake and homosexual-led, and propaganda for a movie that was coming out at the time produced by Greg Laurie. Whyte is calling on the characters who have unleashed the attacks against him and Blackchristiannews.com to cease and desist as they know who is behind it. Whyte also believes John MacArthur’s movie, did not get the roll-out it should have gotten by the evangelical promotional machine because he, too, called the Asbury revival fake and because he joined Whyte in rebuking Andy Stanley for promoting sodomy/homosexuality in the church.

The social contagion of queer identity continues to spread throughout our society, aided and abetted by demoniacs as in skin suits, with a recent poll by Public Religion Research Institute reporting that 28% of 12-25-year-olds identify as LGBTQ.

The distressing trajectory demonstrates the need to stand firm and hit hard at all encroachments seeking to devour our youth. Every capitulation is an encouragement to take more ground, which is why the recent comments by Alistair Begg encouraging attendance at a gay wedding are so egregious. Commenting on these new numbers, the Dissenter writes:

In the face of these statistics, a clear and disturbing trend emerges—one that staunchly opposes the moral standard of God revealed in Scripture. This phenomenon, far from being a mere societal shift in attitudes, signifies a deeper, more profound crisis—a marked decrease in the Church’s influence and a rampant increase in rebellion against God. As in the days of Noah?

The Bible, specifically in Romans 1, speaks unequivocally about the wrath of God being poured out upon societies that turn their backs on Him, giving them over to the lusts of the flesh. The alarming rise in young people embracing these aberrant sexual behaviors and identities is not just a social trend—it’s a spiritual crisis, a testament to a generation blinded by the deceit of sin and a culture that celebrates deviation from God’s design as “diversity.”

Religious ‘Nones’ Have Become The Largest Single Group in the U.S.

To no one’s great surprise, a new study from Pew Research shows that the religiously unaffiliated – agnostics, atheists, or “nothing in particular”- now make up the largest demographic of people in the United States.

The cohort, which clocks in at 28%, beats out Catholics (23%) and evangelical Protestants (24%).

Of course, the proper, actual number is much higher, as the majority of self-identifying Roman Catholics and Protestants are functionally pagans who are wholly missing a biblical wordview.

SOMETIMES IT IS JUST BEST TO RESIGN! Sadly, the world shows itself to be wiser than the church every now and then. Some pastors including, TD Jakes, Matt Chandler, and Albert Tate, need to follow the example of VINCE MCMAHON of WWE, who immediately resigned after he was caught up in a gross sex scandal in the wake of bombshell Janel Grant sex trafficking allegations where he is being accused of defecating on a woman’s head.

Vince McMahon resigned as Executive Chairman of UFC and WWE’s parent company TKO

SOMETIMES IT IS JUST BEST TO RESIGN! Sadly, the world shows itself to be wiser than the church every now and then. Some pastors including, TD Jakes, Matt Chandler, and Albert Tate, need to follow the example of VINCE MCMAHON of WWE, who immediately resigned after he was caught up in a gross sex scandal in the wake of bombshell Janel Grant sex trafficking allegations where he is being accused of defecating on a woman’s head.

Vince McMahon’s profile appears to have been wiped from the WWE website just hours after he resigned following extraordinary allegations of sex trafficking by a former employee.

McMahon stepped down on Friday as Executive Chairman of TKO – the company formed by Endeavor after the $21billion merger with the UFC in September.

It comes after Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against the 78-year-old billionaire, claiming – among other allegations – that he defecated on her head during a threesome.

McMahon has been the face of WWE for decades but his profile page on the company website now seems to have been taken down.

He doesn’t appears in their exhaustive list of ‘superstars’ and his profile now simply reads: ‘You are not authorized to access this page.’

McMahon denied Grant’s allegations in a statement sent to DailyMail.com.

‘I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant’s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth,’ it read.

‘I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.

Janel Grant (pictured) is suing the 78-year-old, the WWE and another company executive

‘However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effective immediately.’

Grant, who previously agreed to a $3million settlement in exchange for signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2022, filed a new lawsuit against McMahon, the WWE and a former executive this week.

THERE IS A DEVIL LOOSE IN THE INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH! Perverted Associate “Pastor” Caleb Cowan of Bethel Independent Baptist Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Has Been Caught Using His “Hairdressing Skills” To Prey on Underage Girls

 

THERE IS A DEVIL LOOSE IN THE INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH! Perverted Associate “Pastor” Caleb Cowan of Bethel Independent Baptist Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Has Been Caught Using His “Hairdressing Skills” To Prey on Underage Girls

Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says the devil is a lie! The question is, How did a man who does women’s hair for a living become a pastor of an Independent Baptist Church? Some jobs are not compatible with the ordained ministry. Can you imagine the Apostle Paul styling women’s hair when he wrote, “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman,” and we ought to “Abstain from all appearance of evil”? Thankfully, “Pastor” Caleb Cowan has resigned from the business, and now he needs to resign from the church. Daniel Whyte III says further that sometimes we as Independent Baptists think we are superior to “Evangelicals,” “Southern Baptists,” “National Baptists,” and “Church of God in Christ–Charismatics” just because “we came out from among them” at some point, but that is not the case. There is much innate evil in the Independent Baptist movement such as divorce and remarriage, fornication, adultery, and sad to say, even the abomination of homosexuality. Now, we Independent Baptists did not need any help to sin, but without even knowing it, thousands of Independent Baptists have been influenced by the Evangelical-Charismatic machine because we all have met up for decades at the same watering hole–the so-called “Christian bookstore” which is dominated by the Pharisees and Sadducees of the “Evangelical–Charismatic” movement. The Old KJV Holy Bible, Dr. John R. Rice, Dr. Curtis Hudson, and the Sword of the Lord publishers were not good enough for us.

Caleb Cowan is the Associate Pastor at Bethel Independent Baptist Church and the co-founder and Creative Director of Cowan & Co. Salon, an upscale hair salon in Bowling Green, KY. When he’s not preaching, he’s cutting hair for $75+ and blow drying it for $50.

He was also recently seemingly exposed on social media as being a pervert and predator after several of his current and former clients revealed a series of inappropriate and creepy messages he allegedly sent them, including one to a 17-year-old girl telling her, “BTW you’re so hot,” wishing he “wasn’t so old,” going through her Instagram “liking” pictures of her in bathing suits and scantily clad outfits (not shown below), and making veiled inquiries gauging her interest in boudoir pictures.

Pastor Cowan’s online predation is unsurprisingly icky, with an Instagram dedicated to him showing his cringy and pathetic attempts to become someone’s “sugar daddy.”

As a result of his actions, Amanda Cowan, Caleb’s wife and co-founder of Cowan & Co., announced that her husband had resigned as Vice President of the company, with others sharing that he would no longer be employed there in any capacity.
