Offerings for the Passover; and Offerings for the Festival of Harvest

​Offerings for the Passover; and Offerings for the Festival of Harvest

“On the fourteenth day, of the first month, you must celebrate the Lord’s Passover. 

On the following day—the fifteenth day of the month—a joyous, seven-day festival will begin, but no bread, made with yeast, may be eaten. 

The first day, of the festival, will be an official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day. 

As a special gift, you must present a burnt offering to the Lord—two young bulls, one ram, and seven, one-year-old male lambs, all with no defects. These will be accompanied by grain offerings, of choice flour, moistened with olive oil—six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram, and two quarts …with each, of the seven lambs. 

You must also offer a male goat, as a sin offering, to purify yourselves and make yourselves right with the Lord. 

Present these offerings, in addition …to your regular, morning burnt offering. On each, of the seven days, of the festival, this is how you must prepare the food offering, that is presented, as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 

These will be offered, in addition, to the regular, burnt offerings …and liquid offerings. 

The seventh day, of the festival, will be another official day, for holy assembly, …and no ordinary work …may be done, on that day. 

“At the Festival of Harvest, when you present the first, of your new grain, to the Lord, …you must call an official day, for holy assembly, …and you may do no ordinary work, on that day. 

Present a special, burnt offering, on that day, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It will consist of two young bulls, one ram, and seven, one-year-old male lambs. These will be accompanied by grain offerings, of choice flour, moistened with olive oil—six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram, and two quarts with each, of the seven lambs. 

Also, offer one male goat, to purify yourselves …and make yourselves right with the Lord. 

Prepare these special burnt offerings, along with their liquid offerings, in addition to the regular burnt offering …and its accompanying grain offering. Be sure that all the animals, you sacrifice, have no defects. 

Numbers 28:16–31 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

1427- Isaiah 42 part 2

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 2 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises, from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry; and He crush all his enemies. He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant. I will level the mountains and hills and blight all their greenery. I will turn the rivers into dry land and will dry up all the pools. I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; ...

1426 - Isaiah 42 part 1

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 1  “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout, or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed, or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all, who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart, until justice prevails, throughout the earth. Even distant lands, beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.*” God, the Lord, created the heavens, and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says, “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, rele...

1251 - Psalm 102 (part-1)

Psalm 102 (part-1) A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me, in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink, because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem*—and now is the...
