voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. : Thou shalt daily prepare

a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning. : And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a

he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons for them. : Moreover the prince shall not take of the peoples inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he

shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession. : After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.

: Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people. : Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the
60

twg_000000009912
four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. : In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure. : And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009913
it was made with boiling places under the rows round about. : Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people. : Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of

way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. : And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. : Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009916
waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. : Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. : And he said unto me,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009917
Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. : Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. : Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east

Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. : And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side. : And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran,

This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD. : And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures. : And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the

The Book of Daniel : In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. : And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009946
house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. : And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the kings seed, and of the princes; : Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009947
all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the kings palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. : And the king appointed them a daily provision of the kings meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009948
that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. : Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: : Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009949
: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. : Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009950
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. : Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009951
of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, : Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. : Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the kings meat: and as thou
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009952
seest, deal with thy servants. : So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. : And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the kings meat. : Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009953
wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. : As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. : Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009954
them in before Nebuchadnezzar. : And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. : And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009955
all his realm. : And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus. : And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. : Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009956
shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. : And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. : Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009957
: The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. : But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009958
and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. : They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. : The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009959
me. : But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof. : The Chaldeans answered before the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009960
king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the kings matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. : And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009961
the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. : For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. : And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. : Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009962
to Arioch the captain of the kings guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: : He answered and said to Arioch the kings captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. : Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009963
him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. : Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: : That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009964
Babylon. : Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. : Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: : And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009965
unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: : He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. : I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009966
desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the kings matter. : Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009967
the interpretation. : Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation. : The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009968
I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? : Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; : But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009969
in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; : As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. : But as for me, this secret is
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009970
not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. : Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009971
thereof was terrible. : This images head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, : His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. : Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009972
of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. : Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009973
and filled the whole earth. : This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. : Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. : And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009974
of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. : And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. : And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009975
iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. : And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009976
the iron mixed with miry clay. : And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. : And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009977
as iron is not mixed with clay. : And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. : Forasmuch as thou
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009978
sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. : Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009979
upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. : The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. : Then the king
60
gutenberg
twg_000000009980
made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. : Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the
