And the LORD called unto Moses,
And spake unto him
Out of the tabernacle
Of the congregation, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel,
And say unto them,
If any man of you
Bring an offering
Unto the LORD,
Ye shall bring your offering
Of the cattle,
Even of the herd,
And of the flock.
If his offering be a burnt sacrifice
Of the herd,
Let him offer a male
Without blemish:
He shall offer it
OF HIS OWN VOLUNTARY WILL
At the door of the tabernacle
Of the congregation
Before the LORD.
And thou shalt remember
All the way
Which the LORD
Thy God
Led thee
These forty years
In the wilderness,
To humble thee,
And to prove thee,
To know
What was in thine heart,
Whether thou wouldest keep
His commandments,
Or no.
If my people,
Which are called by my name,
Shall humble themselves,
And pray,
And seek my face,
And turn from their wicked ways;
Then will I hear from heaven,
And will forgive their sin,
And will heal their land.
Humble yourselves
In the sight of the Lord,
And he shall lift you up.
