15 But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of My
sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to
Me to minister to Me. And they shall stand before Me to bring near to Me the fat
and the blood, declares Adonai YAHUVEH.
16 They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to
minister to Me. And they shall keep My charge.
17 And it shall be when they enter in the gates of the inner court, they shall
be clothed with linen garments. And wool shall not come upon them while they
minister in the gates of the inner court, and in the house. (Rev 19:8)
18 Turbans of bleached linen shall be on their heads, and linen undergarments
shall be on their loins. They shall not gird with sweat.
19 And when they go out into the outer court, to the outer court to the people,
they shall put off their garments by which they ministered and lay them in the
holy chambers. And they shall put on other garments, and they shall not sanctify
the people with their own garments.
20 And they shall not shave their heads, and they shall not send forth long
hair; trimming they shall trim their heads. (1Cor 11:14)
21 And every priest shall not drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
(Lev 10:9)
22 And they shall not take a widow or a divorcee, for wives for themselves, but
they shall only take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who
is the widow of a priest.
23 And they shall teach My people between the holy and the common, and between
the unclean and the clean, to make them known5.
24 And in a dispute, they shall stand to judge, they shall judge it by My
judgments. And they shall observe My Torah and My statutes in My appointed
feasts, and they shall sanctify My Sabbaths1.
25 And he shall not come to a dead man, to defile himself; but for father, or
for mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, for a brother, or for a sister who
has not had a husband, they may defile themselves. (Lev 21:1-3)
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall count seven days for him.
27 And in the day he goes into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister in
the sanctuary, he shall bring his sin offering, declares Adonai YAHUVEH.
28 And it shall be to them for an inheritance; I am their inheritance; and you
shall not give them possession in Israel; I am their possession.
29 They shall eat the food offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering.
And every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs. (Num 18:9, 14)
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every one of the heave
offerings of all, of all your heave offerings, shall be for the priests. And you
shall give to the priest the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on
your house3. (Num 18:12-13)
31 The priests shall not eat of every corpse and torn thing, of birds, or of
beasts. (Lev 7:24)
James 1:1-18
*~ James Chapter 1 ~*
11 Jacob, a slave of Elohim and of the Master Yahshua Messiah, to the twelve
tribes in the Diaspora among the nations1, greeting:
22 My brothers count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
33 knowing that the proving of your faith works patience.
44 But let patience have its perfective work, that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking nothing.
55 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from Elohim, who gives to all
freely and with grace, and it will be given to him.
66 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For the one who doubts is like a
wave of the sea, being driven by wind and being tossed;
77 for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the
Almighty;
88 he is a double-souled man, not dependable in all his ways. (Ps 40:4)
99 But let the humble brother rejoice because he is exalted;
1010 and the rich one rejoice in his humiliation, because he will pass away like
the flower of the grass.
1111 For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass, and its flower
fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also the rich one will
fade away in is ways. (Isa. 40:6, 7)
1212 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, because having been approved he
will receive the crown of 1 This epistle should be the letter from Jacob the
half brother of Yahshua. Later the king of England, James, changed the book to
his name when the bible was printed in English. Also this letter is written to
the House of Israel in Diaspora showing the tribes were not lost. 2 1 Pe 1:6-7,
1 Pe 4:12-13 life which YAHUVEH promised to the ones loving Him.
1313 Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from Elohim. For Elohim is not
tempted by evil, and He tempts no one.
1414 But each one is tempted by his own lusts, he covets and is seduced by them.
1515 Then having conceived lust brings forth sin. And sin being fully formed
brings forth death. (Ezk 18:4 Ro 6:23)
1616 Do not go astray, my beloved brothers,
1717 every act of good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the Father of Heavenly lights, with whom is no change or shifting shadow.
1818 It is He who begot us from His own will, by the Word of truth, that we
should be the first-fruits of His creatures.
