They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises.The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.

and many peoples will come and say,“ Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths.” For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

For as I was passing through and observing the objects of your worship, I even found an altar on which was inscribed,‘ To an Unknown God.’ Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.

and repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgments to Israel.

On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:“ Do not fear; Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.The LORD your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will be quiet in his love. He will delight in you with singing.”

So what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?Considerable in every way. First, they were entrusted with the very words of God.

“ Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all people everywhere to repent,

Our God is a God of salvation, and escape from death belongs to the LORD my Lord.

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem! Look, your King is coming to you; he is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Indeed, God is my salvation; I will trust him and not be afraid, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation.”

Now it is evident that our Lord came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests.

I am bringing my justice near; it is not far away, and my salvation will not delay. I will put salvation in Zion, my splendor in Israel.

Then the king of Assyria issued a command:“ Send back one of the priests you deported. Have him go and live there so he can teach them the requirements of the god of the land.”So one of the priests they had deported came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should fear the LORD.But the people of each nation were still making their own gods in the cities where they lived and putting them in the shrines of the high places that the people of Samaria had made.The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.They feared the LORD, but they also made from their ranks priests for the high places, who were working for them at the shrines of the high places.They feared the LORD, but they also worshiped their own gods according to the practice of the nations from which they had been deported.They are still observing the former practices to this day. None of them fear the LORD or observe the statutes and ordinances, the law and commandments that the LORD had commanded the descendants of Jacob, whom he had given the name Israel.The LORD made a covenant with Jacob’s descendants and commanded them,“ Do not fear other gods; do not bow in worship to them; do not serve them; do not sacrifice to them.Instead fear the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to him, and you are to sacrifice to him.You are to be careful always to observe the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandments he wrote for you; do not fear other gods.Do not forget the covenant that I have made with you. Do not fear other gods,but fear the LORD your God, and he will rescue you from all your enemies.”However, these nations would not listen but continued observing their former practices.They feared the LORD but also served their idols. Still today, their children and grandchildren continue doing as their ancestors did.

they approached Zerubbabel and the family heads and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we also worship your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time King Esar-haddon of Assyria brought us here.”

The scepter will not depart from Judah or the staff from between his feet until he whose right it is comes and the obedience of the peoples belongs to him.

“ But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not abandoned him; the priests ministering to the LORD are descendants of Aaron, and the Levites serve at their tasks.They offer a burnt offering and fragrant incense to the LORD every morning and every evening, and they set the rows of the Bread of the Presence on the ceremonially clean table. They light the lamps of the gold lampstand every evening. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have abandoned him.Look, God and his priests are with us at our head. The trumpets are ready to sound the charge against you. Israelites, don’t fight against the LORD God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”

Cry out and sing, citizen of Zion, for the Holy One of Israel is among you in his greatness.”
