VaYikra Chapter 6
1 And יהוה spoke unto Moshe, saying, 2 "Command Aharon and his sons, saying, 'This is the instruction of the Olah: it is that which goes up on its firewood upon the Mizbe'akh all night unto the morning; and the fire of the Mizbe'akh shall be kept burning thereby. 3 And the Kohen shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his body; and he shall take up the ashes of the fire that has consumed the Olah on the Mizbe'akh, and he shall put them beside the Mizbe'akh. 4 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place. 5 And the fire upon the Mizbe'akh shall be kept burning thereby, it shall not go out; and the Kohen shall kindle wood on it every morning; and he shall lay the Olah in order upon it, and shall make smoke thereon the fat of the Sh'lamim offerings. 6 Fire shall be kept burning upon the Mizbe'akh continually; it shall not go out.
7 And this is the instruction of the Min'kha: the sons of Aharon shall offer it before יהוה , in front of the Mizbe'akh. 8 And he shall take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour of the Min'kha, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the Min'kha, and shall make the memorial-part thereof smoke upon the Mizbe'akh for a sweet savor unto יהוה . And 9 that which is left thereof shall Aharon and his sons eat; it shall be eaten without leaven in a m'kom kadosh; in the court of the Ohel Mo'ed they shall eat it. 10 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of My offerings made by fire; it is kodesh kadashim, as the Khatat, and as the Asham. 11 Every male among the children of Aharon may eat of it, as a due forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of יהוה made by fire; whatever touches them shall be kadosh'."
12 And יהוה spoke unto Moshe, saying, 13 "This is the offering of Aharon and of his sons, which they shall offer unto יהוה in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a Min'kha perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half thereof in the evening. 14 On a griddle it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, you shall bring it in; in broken pieces shall you offer the Min'kha for a sweet savor unto יהוה . And 15 the anointed Kohen that shall be in his stead from among his sons shall offer it, it is a due forever; it shall be wholly made to smoke unto יהוה . And 16 every Min'kha of the Kohen shall be wholly made to smoke; it shall not be eaten."
17 And יהוה spoke unto Moshe, saying, 18 "Speak unto Aharon and to his sons, saying, This is the instruction of the Khatat: in the place where the Olah is killed shall the Khatat be killed before יהוה ; it is kodesh kadashim. 19 The Kohen that offers it for sin shall eat it; in a kadosh place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Ohel Mo'ed. 20 whatever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be kadosh; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, you shall wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a m'kom kadosh. 21 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken; and if it is sodden in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 22 Every male among the Kohanim may eat thereof; it is kodesh kadashim. 23 And no Khatat, whereof any of the blood is brought into the Ohel Mo'ed to make atonement in the Kodesh, shall be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire."

VaYikra Chapter 7
1 And this is the instruction of HaAsham: it is kodesh kadashim. 2 In the place where they kill HaOlah shall they kill HaAsham: and the blood thereof shall be dashed against the Mizbe'akh round about. 3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inwards, 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the lobe above the liver, which he shall take away by the kidneys. 5 And the Kohen shall make them smoke upon the Mizbe'akh for a karban of fire unto יהוה ; it is an Asham. 6 Every male among the Kohanim may eat thereof; it shall be eaten in a m'kom kadosh; it is kodesh kadashim. 7 As is HaKhatat, so is HaAsham; there is one directive for them; the Kohen that makes atonement therewith, he shall have it. 8 And the Kohen that offers any man’s Olah, even the Kohen shall have to himself the skin of HaOlah which he has offered. 9 And every Minkhah that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the stewing-pan, and on the griddle, shall be the kohen’s that offers it. 10 And every Minkhah, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aharon have, one as well as another.

HAFTARAH

Yirme-Yahu Chapter 7
21 "Thus says יהוה Tzeva'ot, Elohei Yisra'el, 'Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Mitzrayim, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices; 23 but this thing I commanded them, saying, hearken unto My voice, and I will be your Elohim, and you shall be My people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you'."
24 "But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward, 25 even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Mitzrayim unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the Nevi'im, sending them daily betimes and often, 26 yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers. 27 And you shall speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken to you; you shall also call unto them, but they will not answer you. 28 Therefore you shall say unto them, 'This is the nation that has not hearkened to the voice of יהוה their Elohim, nor received correction; faithfulness is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. 29 Cut off your hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the high hills; for יהוה has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath'. 30 For B'nei Yehudah have done that which is evil in My sight", says יהוה . "They have set their detestable things in the house whereon My Name is called, to defile it. 31 And they have built the high places of Tofet, which is in Gei Ben Hinom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into My mind."
32 "Therefore, behold, the days come", says יהוה , "that it shall no more be called Tofet, nor Gei Ben Hinom, but the valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Tofet, for lack of room. 33 And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away. 34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Yehudah, and from the streets of Yerushalayim, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate."

31 Again Yeshua went out from the border of Tzor and Tzaidan, and came to the sea of the Galil, to the border of the ten cities. 32 And they brought to Him a deaf and mute man; and they asked Him to lay His hand on him. 33 So He drew him aside from the people, and put his fingers into his ears; then He spat, and touched his tongue; 34 and He looked up to Heaven and sighed, and He said to him, “Be opened.” 35 And in that very hour his ears were opened, and his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly. 36 And He warned them not to tell this to any man; but the more He warned them, so much the more they published it. 37 And they were greatly astonished, saying, “He does everything so well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute to speak.”

Yokhanan Markos Chapter 8
1 In those days, when there was a large multitude, and they had nothing to eat, He called His Talmidim and said to them, 2 “I have pity on this people, for they have remained with me three days, and they have nothing to eat; 3 and if I dismiss them to their homes while they are hungry, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come from a distance." 4 His Talmidim said to Him, “How can any man here in this lonely place feed all of these people with bread?” 5 And He asked them, “How many loaves have you?” They said to Him, “Seven.” 6 So He commanded the people to sit on the ground; and He took the seven loaves of bread, and He blessed them and broke them and gave them to His Talmidim to set before them; and they set them before the people. 7 And there were a few fish; and He blessed them also and commanded to set them before the people. 8 So they ate and were satisfied, and they took up seven baskets of fragments which were left over. 9 The men who ate were about four thousand; and He dismissed them.
10 And immediately He went into the boat with His Talmidim, and He came to the country of Dalmanuta. 11 And the P’rushim came out and began to question Him, and they asked Him for a sign from heaven, so as to test Him. 12 And He sighed in His Ru'akh and said, “Why does this generation want a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And He left them, and went up into the boat, and departed from that port. 14 And they had forgotten to take bread; except one loaf, they had none with them in the boat. 15 And He commanded them and said to them, “Watch out, and beware of the leaven of the P’rushim and of the leaven of Herodus.” 16 They were reasoning among themselves and saying, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 But Yeshua knew it and said to them, “What are you thinking, because you have no bread? Do you not even yet know, and do you not understand? Is your heart still hard? 18 You have eyes, and yet do you not see? You have ears, and yet do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves of bread for the five thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 He said to them, “And when the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said, “Seven.” 21 He said to them, “How is it then that even yet you cannot understand?”
22 And He came to Beit Tza'ida; and they brought to Him a blind man, and they besought Him to touch him. 23 And He took the blind man by the hand and brought him outside the town; and He spat on his eyes and put his hands on him and asked him what he saw. 24 And he looked and said, “I see men like trees walking.” 25 Again He put his hands over his eyes and he was restored and saw everything clearly. 26 And He sent him to his house, saying, “Do not even enter into the town, nor tell it to anyone in the town.”
27 And Yeshua went out, and His Talmidim, to the towns of Keysarya of Filipos; and on the road He asked His Talmidim, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?” 28 They said, “Yokhanan HaMatbil; and others, Eli-Yahu; and yet others, one of the Nevi'im.” 29 Yeshua said to them, “But you, who do you say I am?” Shimon Kefa answered, saying to Him, “You are the Mashi'akh, Ben Elohim Khayim.” 30 And He warned them not to tell any man about Him. 31 Then He began to teach them that Ben HaAdam would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders and the chief Kohanim and the Sofrim, and be killed, and rise again on the third day. 32 And He spoke that word openly. So Kefa took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But He turned around and looked on His Talmidim, and He rebuked Shimon, saying, “Get behind me, Satan; for you are not thinking the things of Elohim, but of men.” 34 And Yeshua called the people together with His Talmidim, and said to them, “He who wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his stake and follow me. 35 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the sake of my B'sorah will save it. 36 For how could a man be benefited if he should gain the whole world and lose his nefesh? 37 Or what could a man give in exchange for his nefesh? 38 Whoever, therefore, is ashamed of me and of my words in this sinful and adulterous generation, Ben HaAdam will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the Kavod Aviv with His Malakhim HaK’doshim.”

Romim Chapter 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Elohim, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, consecrated and acceptable to Elohim, by means of reasonable service. 2 Do not imitate the way of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of Elohim. 3 For I say to all of you, through the compassion which is given to me, not to think of yourselves beyond what you ought to think; but to think soberly, every man according to the measure of absolute trust which Elohim has distributed to him. 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Mashi'akh, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the compassion that is given to us: some have the gift of nevu’ah, according to the measure of absolute trust, 7 some have the gift of ministration, in their ministry; and some of teaching, in their doctrine. 8 Some of consolation, in consoling; he that gives, let him do it with sincerity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
