Leviticus 1:14 - 2:6

1:14 “‘But if his offering for Yahweh is a burnt offering from the birds, then he must present his offering from the turtledoves or from the young doves.
1:15 The priest will present it at the altar and must wring off its head and turn it into smoke on the altar, and its blood will be drained out on the wall of the altar.
1:16 He must remove its crop with its plumage and throw it to the east beside the altar on the place of the fatty ashes.
1:17 Then he must tear it apart by its wings but must not sever it; then the priest will turn it into smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering by fire as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.’”
2:1 Laws for Grain Offerings “‘When a person brings a grain offering to Yahweh, his offering must be finely milled flour, and he must pour out oil on it and place frankincense on it.
2:2 And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and he shall take his handful from its finely milled flour and from its oil in addition to all its frankincense. The priest shall turn its token portion into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
2:3 The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons—it is a most holy thing from the offerings made by fire for Yahweh.
2:4 “‘But if you bring a grain offering of something oven-baked, it must be of finely milled flour as ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil or wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil.
2:5 If your offering is a grain offering baked on a flat baking pan, it must be finely milled flour, unleavened bread mixed with oil;
2:6 break it into pieces and pour out oil on it; it is a grain offering.

Gospel — Matthew 1:18-2:23

LEB translation

Matthew 1:18-2:23

1:18 The Birth of Jesus Christ Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
1:19 So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.
1:20 But as he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
1:21 And she will give birth to a son, and you will call his name ‘Jesus,’ because he will save his people from their sins.”
1:22 Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
1:23 “Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
1:24 And Joseph, when he woke up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and he took his wife
1:25 and did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
2:1 Wise Men Visit Jesus Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
2:2 saying, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rising and have come to worship him.”
2:3 And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,
2:4 and after calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ was to be born.
2:5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
2:6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for from you will go out a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
2:7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and determined precisely from them the time when the star appeared.
2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go, inquire carefully concerning the child, and when you have found him, report to me so that I also may come and worship him.”
2:9 After they listened to the king, they went out, and behold, the star which they had seen at its rising led them until it came and stood above the place where the child was.
2:10 Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
2:11 And when they came into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
2:12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route.
2:13 Joseph, Mary, and Jesus Escape to Egypt Now after they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.”
2:14 So he got up and took the child and his mother during the night and went away to Egypt.
2:15 And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
2:16 Herod Has Innocent Children Murdered Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deceived by the wise men, became very angry, and he sent soldiers and executed all the children in Bethlehem and in all the region around it from the age of two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined precisely from the wise men.
2:17 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,
2:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because they exist no longer.”
2:19 Joseph, Mary, and Jesus Return to Nazareth Now after Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
2:20 saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead.”
2:21 So he got up and took the child and his mother and entered the land of Israel.
2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream, he took refuge in the regions of Galilee.
2:23 And he came and lived in a town called Nazareth, in order that what was said by the prophets would be fulfilled: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
