- 1 Rois 13
  
  1 Behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
  
  2 He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: 'Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'"
  
  3 He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out."
  
  4 It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him!" His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
  
  5 The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.
  
  6 The king answered the man of God, "Now entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
  
  7 The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
  
  8 The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
  
  9 for so was it commanded me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.'"
  
  10 So he went another way, and didn't return by the way that he came to Bethel.
  
  11 Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
  
  12 Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
  
  13 He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
  
  14 He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" He said, "I am."
  
  15 Then he said to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
  
  16 He said, "I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.
  
  17 For it was said to me by the word of Yahweh, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.'"
  
  18 He said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" He lied to him.
  
  19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
  
  20 It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back;
  
  21 and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,
  
  22 but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'"
  
  23 It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
  
  24 When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
  
  25 Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
  
  26 When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to him."
  
  27 He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
  
  28 He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
  
  29 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
  
  30 He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother!"
  
  31 It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
  
  32 For the saying which he cried by the word of Yahweh against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen."
  
  33 After this thing Jeroboam didn't return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
  
  34 This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
  
  Ezéchiel 43
  
  1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
  
  2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.
  
  3 It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
  
  4 The glory of Yahweh came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
  
  5 The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
  
  6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
  
  7 He said to me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings [in] their high places;
  
  8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
  
  9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.
  
  10 You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
  
  11 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
  
  12 This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
  
  13 These are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
  
  14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
  
  15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
  
  16 The altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad, square in the four sides of it.
  
  17 The ledge shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.
  
  18 He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
  
  19 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the Lord Yahweh, a young bull for a sin offering.
  
  20 You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
  
  21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
  
  22 On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
  
  23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
  
  24 You shall bring them near to Yahweh, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
  
  25 Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
  
  26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
  
  27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord Yahweh.
  
  Philippiens 4
  
  1 Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
  
  2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
  
  3 Yes, I beg you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
  
  4 Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, "Rejoice!"
  
  5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
  
  6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
  
  7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
  
  8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.
  
  9 The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
  
  10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
  
  11 Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
  
  12 I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
  
  13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
  
  14 However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
  
  15 You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
  
  16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
  
  17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
  
  18 But I have all things, and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
  
  19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
  
  20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
  
  21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
  
  22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.
  
  23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
