28
 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he [Jesus] took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29
 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment
was
white
and
glistering.
30
 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31
 who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32
 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33
 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34
 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35
 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36
 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept
it
close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37
 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38
 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39
 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40
 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41
 And Jesus answering said,
O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42
 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare
him.
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43
 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.
But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44
Â
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45
 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46
 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47
 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48
 and said unto them,
Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49
 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50
 And Jesus said unto him,
Forbid
him
not: for he that is not against us is for us.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1
 Truly God
is
good to Israel,
even
to such as are of a clean heart.
2
 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3
 For I was envious at the foolish,
when
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
 For
there are
no bands in their death: but their strength
is
firm.
5
 They
are
not in trouble
as other
men; neither are they plagued like
other
men.
6
 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them
as
a garment.
7
 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8
 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning
oppression: they speak loftily.
9
 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10
 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full
cup
are wrung out to them.
11
 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12
 Behold, these
are
the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase
in
riches.
13
 Verily I have cleansed my heart
in
vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14
 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15
 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
against
the generation of thy children.
16
 When I thought to know this, it
was
too painful for me;
17
 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then
understood I their end.
18
 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19
 How are they
brought
into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20
 As a dream when
one
awaketh;
so,
O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21
 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22
 So foolish
was
I, and ignorant: I was
as
a beast before thee.
23
 Nevertheless I
am
continually with thee: thou hast holden
me
by my right hand.
24
 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me
to
glory.
25
 Whom have I in heaven
but thee?
and
there is
none upon earth
that
I desire beside thee.
26
 My flesh and my heart faileth:
but
God
is
the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27
 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28
 But
it is
good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord G
OD
, that I may declare all thy works.
10
 A righteous
man
regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked
are
cruel.
1
 If
one
be found slain in the land which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field,
and
it be not known who hath slain him:
2
 then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which
are
round about him that is slain:
3
 and it shall be,
that
the city
which is
next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with,
and
which hath not drawn in the yoke;
4
 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:
5
 and the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the L
ORD
thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the L
ORD
; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be
tried:
6
 and all the elders of that city,
that are
next unto the slain
man,
shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7
 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen
it.
8
 Be merciful, O L
ORD
, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
9
 So shalt thou put away the
guilt of
innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do
that which is
right in the sight of the L
ORD
.
10
 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the L
ORD
thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
11
 and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12
 then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13
 and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14
 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
15
 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children,
both
the beloved and the hated; and
if
the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
16
 then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit
that
which he hath,
that
he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated,
which is indeed
the firstborn:
17
 but he shall acknowledge the son of the hated
for
the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he
is
the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn
is
his.
18
 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and
that,
when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19
 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20
 and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son
is
stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice;
he is
a glutton, and a drunkard.
21
 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
22
 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
23
 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged
is
accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance.
22:
1
 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
2
 And if thy brother
be
not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3
 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4
 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift
them
up again.
5
 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so
are
abomination unto the L
ORD
thy God.
6
 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground,
whether they be
young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
7
Â
but
thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and
that
thou mayest prolong
thy
days.
8
 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
9
 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10
 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11
 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,
as
of woollen and linen together.
12
 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest
thyself.
13
 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14
 and give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15
 then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth
the tokens of
the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16
 and the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17
 and, lo, he hath given occasions of speech
against her,
saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these
are the tokens of
my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18
 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19
 and they shall amerce him in an hundred
shekels
of silver, and give
them
unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20
 But if this thing be true,
and the tokens of
virginity be not found for the damsel:
21
 then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
22
 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die,
both
the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23
 If a damsel
that is
a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24
 then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not,
being
in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25
 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
26
 but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing;
there is
in the damsel no sin
worthy
of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so
is
this matter:
27
 for he found her in the field,
and
the betrothed damsel cried, and
there was
none to save her.
28
 If a man find a damsel
that is
a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29
 then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty
shekels
of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
30
 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
