Leviticus 9:24 - 10:11

9:24 Then a fire went out from before Yahweh, and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And all the people saw it, so they shouted for joy, and they fell on their faces.
10:1 The Deaths of Nadab and Abihu And Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, and they put fire in them and placed incense on it; then they presented before Yahweh illegitimate fire, which he had not commanded them.
10:2 So fire went out from before Yahweh, and it consumed them so that they died before Yahweh.
10:3 Therefore Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of all the people I will display my glory.’” So Aaron was silent.
10:4 Then Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and he said to them, “Come forward. Carry your brothers from the front of the sanctuary to outside the camp.”
10:5 So they came forward, and they carried them outside the camp in their tunics, just as Moses had ordered.
10:6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “You must not let your hair hang loosely, and you must not tear your garments, so that you will not die and he will be angry with all the community. But your brothers, all the house of Israel, may weep because of the burning that Yahweh caused,
10:7 but you must not go out from the entrance to the tent of assembly lest you die, because Yahweh’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did according to Moses’ word.
10:8 Lasting Statutes Then Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,
10:9 “You and your sons with you may not drink wine or strong drink when you come to the tent of assembly, so that you will not die—it is a lasting statute for your generations—
10:10 and to distinguish between the holy and the unholy, as well as between the unclean and the clean,
10:11 and to teach the Israelites all the rules that Yahweh has spoken to them through Moses.”

LEB translation

Matthew 11:25-12:21

11:25 A Yoke That Is Easy At that time Jesus answered and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to young children.
11:26 Yes, Father, for to do so was your gracious will.
11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.
11:28 Come to me, all of you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
11:29 Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
11:30 For my yoke is easy to carry and my burden is light.”
12:1 Plucking Grain on the Sabbath At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. And his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck off heads of grain and eat them.
12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!”
12:3 So he said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him,
12:4 how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?
12:5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath and are guiltless?
12:6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here!
12:7 And if you had known what it means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
12:8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
12:9 A Man with a Withered Hand Healed And going on from there he came into their synagogue.
12:10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?” in order that they could accuse him.
12:11 But he said to them, “What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
12:12 Then to what degree is a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath.”
12:13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand,” and he stretched it out, and it was restored as healthy as the other one.
12:14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him in order that they could destroy him.
12:15 God’s Chosen Servant Now Jesus, when he learned of it, withdrew from there, and many followed him, and he healed them all.
12:16 And he warned them that they should not reveal his identity,
12:17 in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,
12:18 “Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
12:20 A crushed reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish, until he brings justice to victory.
12:21     And in his name the Gentiles will hope.
