13"'All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 14If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do. 15For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. Before Yahweh, you and the foreigner will be [the same]. 16One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"
17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you enter the land where I bring you, 19and you eat the bread of the land, offer up a wave offering to Yahweh. 20Offer up a cake for a wave offering from the first of your dough. Heave it [in the same way as] the wave offering for the threshing floor. 21Throughout your generations, you are to give a wave offering from the first of your dough to Yahweh.
22"'When you err, and don't observe all these commandments which Yahweh has told to Moses, 23even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward throughout your generations; 24then it shall be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. 25The priest is to make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error. 26All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.
27"'If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 28The priest is to make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 29have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. 2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
3Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison. 5Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
6Then came the word of Yahweh to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 7Yahweh the God of Israel says, "You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land. 8The Chaldeans shall return, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
9Yahweh says, "Don't deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart. 10For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
11When the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army, 12then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people. 13When he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are falling away to the Chaldeans.
14Then Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he didn't listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. 15The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16When Jeremiah had entered the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days, 17Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
18Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison? 19Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? 20Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

1Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! 2Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits; 3who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; 4who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; 5who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed. 7He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel. 8Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. 9He will not always accuse; nor will he stay angry forever. 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. 12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him. 14For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust. 15As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more. 17But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children; 18to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts. 19Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. 20Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word. 21Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. 22Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!

1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise. 2On the first day of every week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come. 3When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem. 4If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
5But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia. 6But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go. 7For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits. 8But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11So let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
12Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
13Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong! 14Let all that you do be done in selfless-love.
15Now I beg you, brothers- you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints- 16that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors. 17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied. 18For they refreshed my spirit and yours; so acknowledge those who are like that.
19The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house. 20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand. 22If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus AnointedOne, let him be accursed. Maranatha! 23The grace of the Lord Jesus AnointedOne be with you. 24My selfless-love to all of you in AnointedOne Jesus. Absolutely.
