The prayer offered by those who have faith will make the sick person well. The Lord will heal them. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.So confess your sins to one another. Pray for one another so that you might be healed. The prayer of a godly person is powerful. Things happen because of it.

Hear me when I ask you to help us. Listen to your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Listen to us from heaven. It’s the place where you live. When you hear us, forgive us.

So now get seven bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job. Then sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. And I will accept his prayer. I will not punish you for saying the foolish things you said. You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has.”So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them to do. And the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

As he passed in front of Moses, he called out. He said,“ I am the Lord, the Lord. I am the God who is tender and kind. I am gracious. I am slow to get angry. I am faithful and full of love.I continue to show my love to thousands of people. I forgive those who do evil. I forgive those who refuse to obey me. And I forgive those who sin. But I do not let guilty people go without punishing them. I cause the sins of the parents to affect their children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren.”Moses bowed down to the ground at once and worshiped.“ Lord,” he said,“ if you are pleased with me, then go with us. Even though these people are stubborn, forgive the evil things we have done. Forgive our sin. And accept us as your people.”

Now return the man’s wife to him. He is a prophet. So he will pray for you, and you will live. But what if you do not return her? Then you can be sure that you and all your people will die.”

Everyone should take a careful look at themselves before they eat the bread and drink from the cup.

The entire community of Judah was filled with joy. So were the priests and Levites. And so were all the people who had gathered together from Israel. That included the outsiders who had come from Israel. It also included those who lived in Judah.

In spite of that, some people from Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun made themselves humble. They went to Jerusalem.

Lord, please listen! Lord, please forgive us! Lord, hear our prayers! Take action for your own honor. Our God, please don’t wait. Your city and your people belong to you.”

Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelek. He also healed his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again.

“ Tell the Israelites,‘ Suppose any of you or your children are“ unclean” because they have gone near a dead body. Or suppose they are away on a journey. They must still celebrate the Lord’ s Passover.They must celebrate it on the 14th day of the second month. They must do so when the sun goes down. They must eat the lamb together with bread made without yeast. They must eat it with bitter plants.They must not leave any of it until morning. They must not break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover Feast, they must follow all the rules.But suppose someone is“ clean” and not on a journey. And they fail to celebrate the Passover Feast. Then they must be separated from the community of Israel. They did not bring the Lord’ s offering at the appointed time. They will be punished for their sin.“‘ What if there is an outsider living among you? And what if they want to celebrate the Lord’ s Passover? Then they must obey its rules and laws. You must have the same laws for outsiders as you do for the Israelites.’ ”

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Here are the rules for the Passover meal.“ No one from another country is allowed to eat it.Any slave you have bought is allowed to eat it after you have circumcised him.But a hired worker or someone who lives with you for a short time is not allowed to eat it.“ It must be eaten inside the house. Do not take any of the meat outside. Do not break any of the bones.The whole community of Israel must celebrate the Passover.“ Suppose an outsider living among you wants to celebrate the Lord’ s Passover. Then all the males in that home must be circumcised. After that, the person can take part, just like an Israelite. Only circumcised males may eat it.The same law applies to Israelites and to outsiders living among you.”All the people of Israel did just what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.On that day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt like an army on the march.

The Lord is honest and good. He teaches sinners to walk in his ways.

Suppose you see any brother or sister commit a sin. But this sin is not the kind that leads to death. Then you should pray, and God will give them life. I’m talking about someone whose sin does not lead to death. But there is a sin that does lead to death. I’m not saying you should pray about that sin.

Lord, your love is as high as the heavens. Your faithful love reaches up to the skies.

‘ I am the Lord. I am slow to get angry. I am full of love. I forgive those who sin. I forgive those who refuse to obey. But I do not let guilty people go without punishing them. I cause the sin of the parents to affect their children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren.’Lord, your love is great. So forgive the sin of these people. Forgive them just as you have done from the time they left Egypt until now.”The Lord replied,“ I have forgiven them, just as you asked.

But what if those who are‘ unclean’ do not make themselves pure and‘ clean?’ Then they must be separated from the community. They have made my holy tent‘ unclean.’ The special water has not been sprinkled on them. They are‘ unclean.’

Lord, you are forgiving and good. You are full of love for all who call out to you.

You are good, and what you do is good. Teach me your orders.
