Rishon [1st]
1:1The LORD called to Moshe, and spoke to
him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying, 1:2"Speak to the children of Yisra'el,
and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the cattle, from the herd and from the flock.
1:3"'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without
blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted
before the LORD.
1:4He shall lay his
hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement
for him. 1:5He shall kill the bull before the LORD.
Aharon's sons, the kohanim [priests], shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around
on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
1:6He shall flay the
burnt offering, and cut it into pieces. 1:7The sons of Aharon the kohen
[priest] shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;
1:8and
Aharon's sons, the kohanim, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood
that is on the fire which is on the altar; 1:9but its innards and its legs he
shall wash with water. The kohen shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
1:10"'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt
offering, he shall offer a male without blemish. 1:11He shall kill it on the north side
of the altar before the LORD. Aharon's sons, the
kohanim, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
1:12He shall cut it
into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The kohen shall lay them in order on the wood
that is on the fire which is on the altar, 1:13but the innards and the legs he
shall wash with water. The kohen shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a
burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.

Sheni [2nd]
1:14"'If his offering to the LORD is a
burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young
pigeons. 1:15The kohen shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the
altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;
1:16and he shall take
away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of
the ashes. 1:17He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The kohen shall burn
it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made
by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
2:1"'When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put
frankincense on it. 2:2He shall bring it to Aharon's sons the kohanim; and he shall take his handful of
its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the kohen shall burn the
memorial of it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
2:3That which is left of the meal offering shall be
Aharon's and his sons'. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:4"'When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be
unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
2:5If your offering is a meal offering of the baking pan, it shall be of unleavened
fine flour, mixed with oil. 2:6You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering.

Shlishi [3rd]
2:7If your offering is a meal offering of the frying pan, it shall be made of fine
flour with oil. 2:8You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the LORD: and it shall be presented to the kohen, and he shall
bring it to the altar. 2:9The kohen shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the
altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD. 2:10That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aharon's and his sons'. It is a
thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD
made by fire.
2:11"'No meal offering, which you shall offer to the LORD, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an
offering made by fire to the LORD.
2:12As
an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to the LORD: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar.
2:13Every
offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt
of the covenant of your G-d to be lacking from your meal offering. With all
your offerings you shall offer salt.
2:14"'If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear
parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. 2:15You shall put oil on it, and lay
frankincense on it: it is a meal offering. 2:16The kohen shall burn as its
memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense:
it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.

3:1"'If his offering is a sacrifice of shalom offerings; if he offers it from the
herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
3:2He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering,
and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and Aharon's sons the kohanim shall sprinkle
the blood on the altar round about.
3:3He shall offer of the sacrifice of shalom offerings
an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat
that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
3:4and the two kidneys,
and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the
kidneys, he shall take away. 3:5Aharon's sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the
wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
3:6"'If his offering for a sacrifice of shalom offerings to the LORD is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it
without blemish. 3:7If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the LORD;
3:8and he shall lay his hand on the head of his
offering, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aharon's sons shall sprinkle its blood
on the altar round about. 3:9He shall offer from the sacrifice of shalom offerings an offering made by fire to
the LORD; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall
take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that
is on the inwards, 3:10and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the
cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.
3:11The kohen shall
burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.
3:12"'If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD:
3:13and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it
before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aharon shall sprinkle its blood on the altar
round about. 3:14He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is
on the innards, 3:15and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the
cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.
3:16The kohen shall
burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all
the fat is the LORD’s.
3:17"'It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your
dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.'"

Chamishi [5th]
4:1The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
4:2"Speak
to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things
which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and
does any one of them: 4:3if the anointed kohen sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer
for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering.
4:4He shall bring the
bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the LORD.
4:5The anointed kohen shall take some of the blood of
the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting. 4:6The kohen shall dip his finger in
the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary. 4:7The kohen shall put some of the
blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tent of meeting; and he shall pour out all the blood of the bull
out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
4:8He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that
covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
4:9and the two kidneys,
and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the
kidneys, he shall take away,
4:10as it is taken off of the ox of the sacrifice of shalom
offerings. The kohen shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
4:11The bull's skin,
all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung,
4:12even
the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are
poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be
burned.
4:13"'If the whole congregation of Yisra'el sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes
of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
4:14when the sin in
which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin
offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. 4:15The elders of the congregation
shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD; and the bull shall be killed before the LORD. 4:16The anointed kohen shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting:
4:17and the kohen shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before
the LORD, before the veil.
4:18He
shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the
blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of
the Tent of Meeting. 4:19All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.
4:20Thus
shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with
this; and the kohen shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
4:21He
shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is
the sin offering for the assembly.
4:22"'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which the LORD his G-d has commanded not to be done, and is
guilty; 4:23if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his
offering a goat, a male without blemish. 4:24He shall lay his hand on 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.
4:25The kohen shall
take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the
altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of
burnt offering. 4:26All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of shalom
offerings; and the kohen shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be
forgiven.

4:27"'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which
the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is
guilty; 4:28if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his
offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.
4:29He
shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place
of burnt offering. 4:30The kohen shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of
the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the
altar. 4:31All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the
sacrifice of shalom offerings; and the kohen shall burn it on the altar for a sweet savor to
the LORD; and the kohen shall make atonement for
him, and he will be forgiven.
4:32"'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female
without blemish. 4:33He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin
offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
4:34The kohen shall
take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the
altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the
altar. 4:35All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the
sacrifice of shalom offerings; and the kohen shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings
of the LORD made by fire; and the kohen shall
make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
5:1"'If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness,
whether he has seen or known, if he doesn't report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
5:2"'Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean
animal, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it
is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
5:3"'Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which
he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
5:4"'Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it
is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of
it, then he shall be guilty of one of these. 5:5It shall be, when he is guilty of
one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned:
5:6and he shall bring
his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin
which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the
kohen shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
5:7"'If he can't afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in
which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
5:8He
shall bring them to the kohen, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering,
and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.
5:9He
shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest
of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

5:11"'But if he can't afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring
his offering for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a
sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it, for it
is a sin offering. 5:12He shall bring it to the kohen, and the kohen shall take his handful of it as the
memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. It is a sin offering. 5:13The
kohen shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these
things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the kohen's, as the meal offering.'"
5:14The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
5:15"If
anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your
estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
5:16He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and
shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the kohen; and the kohen shall make atonement
for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
5:17"If anyone sins, and does any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done; though he didn't know it, yet he is guilty, and
shall bear his iniquity. 5:18He shall bring a ram without blemish from of the flock, according to your
estimation, for a trespass offering, to the kohen; and the kohen shall make atonement for
him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn't know it, and he will be forgiven.
5:19It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before the LORD."
6:1The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
6:2"If
anyone sins, and commits a trespass against the LORD, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of
robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, 6:3or has found that which was lost,
and dealt falsely therein, and swearing to a lie; in any of all these things that a man
does, sinning therein; 6:4then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he
took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was
committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,

Maftir [Concluding]
6:5or any thing about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it even in full,
and shall add a fifth part more to it. To him to whom it belongs he shall give it, in the

Yesha`yahu (Isaiah)
43:21-44:23
… 43:21the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
43:22Yet
you have not called on me, Ya`akov; but you have been weary of me, Yisra'el.
43:23You
have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your
sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
43:24You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the
fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with
your iniquities. 43:25I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not
remember your sins. 43:26Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set you forth your cause, that
you may be justified. 43:27Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
43:28Therefore
I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Ya`akov a curse, and Yisra'el a
reviling.
44:1Yet now hear, Ya`akov my servant, and Yisra'el, who I have chosen:
44:2Thus
says the LORD who made you, and formed you from
the womb, who will help you: Don't be afraid, Ya`akov my servant; and you, Yeshurun, whom I
have chosen. 44:3For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground; I will
pour my Spirit on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring:
44:4and they shall
spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
44:5One shall say, I am
the LORD's; and another shall call himself
by the name of Ya`akov; and another shall subscribe with his hand to the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Yisra'el.
44:6Thus says the LORD, the King of
Yisra'el, and his Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts: I
am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no G-d.
44:7Who,
as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the
ancient people? and the things that are coming, and that shall happen, let them declare.
44:8Don't fear, neither be afraid: haven't I declared to you of old, and shown it? You
are my witnesses. Is there a G-d besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don't know
any Rock.
44:9Those who fashion an engraved image are all of them vanity; and the things that
they delight in shall not profit; and their own witnesses don't see, nor know: that they may
be disappointed. 44:10Who has fashioned a G-d, or molten an image that is profitable for
nothing? 44:11Behold, all his fellows shall be disappointed; and the workmen, they are of men:
let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be put to
shame together.
44:12The smith makes an axe, and works in the coals, and fashions it with
hammers, and works it with his strong arm: yes, he is hungry, and his strength fails; he
drinks no water, and is faint.
44:13The carpenter stretches out a line; he marks it out with a pencil; he shapes it
with planes, and he marks it out with the compasses, and shapes it after the figure of a
man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.
44:14He cuts down
cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among
the trees of the forest: he plants a fir tree, and the rain nourishes it.
44:15Then
shall it be for a man to burn; and he takes of it, and warms himself; yes, he kindles it,
and bakes bread: yes, he makes a G-d, and worships it; he makes it an engraved
image, and falls down to it.
44:16He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he
eats flesh; he roasts roast, and is satisfied; yes, he warms himself, and says, Aha, I am
warm, I have seen the fire.
44:17The residue of it he makes a G-d, even his
engraved image; he falls down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, Deliver me; for
you are my G-d.
44:18They don't know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they
can't see; and their hearts, that they can't understand.
44:19None calls to
mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the
fire; yes, also I have baked bread on the coals of it; I have roasted flesh and eaten it:
and shall I make the residue of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
44:20He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his
soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
44:21Remember these things, Ya`akov, and Yisra'el; for you are my servant: I have formed
you; you are my servant: Yisra'el, you shall not be forgotten by me.
44:22I
have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return
to me; for I have redeemed you.
44:23Sing, you heavens, for the LORD has
done it; shout, you lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, you mountains, O
forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD has
redeemed Ya`akov, and will glorify himself in Yisra'el.

Messianic Jews [Hebrews] 10:1-18
10:1For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things,
can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect
those who draw near. 10:2Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having
been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
10:3But in those
sacrifices there is yearly reminder of sins. 10:4For it is impossible that the blood
of bulls and goats should take away sins. 10:5Therefore when he comes into the
world, he says,
"Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire,
But a body did you prepare for me;
10:6In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure.
10:7Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of me)
To do your will, G-d.'"
10:8Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered
according to the law), 10:9then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first,
that he may establish the second,
10:10by which will we have been sanctified through the
offering of the body of Yeshua the Messiah once for all.
10:11Every kohen indeed
stands day by day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take
away sins, 10:12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right
hand of G-d; 10:13from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
10:14For
by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
10:15The
Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
10:16"This is the covenant that I will make with them:
'After those days,' says the LORD,
'I will put my laws on their heart,
I will also write them on their mind;'"
then he says,
10:17"I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."
10:18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Additional B'rit Chadasha reading:
Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 13:10-16
13:10We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to
eat. 13:11For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the
kohen gadol [high priest] as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.
13:12Therefore
Yeshua also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of
the gate. 13:13Let us therefore go forth to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.
13:14For
we don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
13:15Through
him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to G-d continually, that is,
the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.
13:16But don't forget
to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices G-d is well pleased.
Romans 8:1-13
8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yeshua, who
don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
8:2For the law of the
Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua made me free from the law of sin and of death.
8:3For
what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, G-d did,
sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the
flesh; 8:4that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit. 8:5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the
flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
8:6For
the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and shalom;
8:7because
the mind of the flesh is hostile towards G-d; for it is not subject to G-d's
law, neither indeed can it be.
8:8Those who are in the flesh can't please G-d.
8:9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of
G-d dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Messiah, he is not
his. 8:10If Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive
because of righteousness. 8:11But if the Spirit of him who raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, he who
raised up Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his
Spirit who dwells in you.
8:12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
8:13For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to
death the deeds of the body, you will live
