Leviticus 2:2
2and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. And he shall take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all of its frankincense, and the priest shall burn this as its amemorial portion on the altar, a food boffering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.Leviticus 4:4-14
4He shall bring the bull to the centrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord and lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before the Lord. 5And the anointed priest dshall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting, 6and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and esprinkle part of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary. 7And the priest fshall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord that is in the tent of meeting, and gall the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 8And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall remove from it, hthe fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails 9 iand the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys 10(just as these are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings); and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 11But jthe skin of the bull and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung— 12all the rest of the bull—he shall carry koutside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall lburn it up on a fire of wood. On the ash heap it shall be burned up.13 m“If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally ▼

and othe thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt, ▼▼Or suffer for their guilt, or are guilty; also verses 22, 27, and chapter 5

Why Have You Forsaken Me?
To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.
1 rMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Why are you so sfar from saving me, from the words of my tgroaning?
2O my God, I cry by uday, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are vholy,
wenthroned on xthe praises ▼
▼Or dwelling in the praises
of Israel.4In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5To you they zcried and were rescued;
in you they aatrusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am aba worm and not a man,
acscorned by mankind and addespised by the people.
7All who see me aemock me;
they make mouths at me; they afwag their heads;
8 ag“He trusts in the Lord; let him ahdeliver him;
let him rescue him, for he aidelights in him!”
9 Yet you are he who ajtook me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.
10On you was I cast from my birth,
and from akmy mother’s womb you have been my God.
11Be not alfar from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is amnone to help.
12 Many bulls encompass me;
anstrong bulls of aoBashan surround me;
13they apopen wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am aqpoured out like water,
and all my bones are arout of joint;
my asheart is like atwax;
it is melted within my breast;
15my strength is audried up like a potsherd,
and my avtongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For awdogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers axencircles me;
they have aypierced my hands and feet ▼
▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts like a lion [they are at] my hands and feet
—17I can count all my bones—
they bastare and gloat over me;
18 bbthey divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19 But you, O Lord, bcdo not be far off!
O you my help, bdcome quickly to my aid!
20Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of bethe dog!
21Save me from bfthe mouth of the lion!
You have rescued ▼
▼Hebrew answered
me from the horns of bhthe wild oxen!Psalms 69:1
Save Me, O God
To the choirmaster: according to biLilies. Of David.
1 Save me, O God!For bjthe waters have come up to my neck. ▼
▼Or waters threaten my life

covenant, which is poured out for bumany bvfor the forgiveness of sins. 29I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you bwin my Father’s kingdom.” Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial
30 bxAnd when they had sung a hymn, bythey went out to bzthe Mount of Olives. 31Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will castrike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32But after I am raised up, cbI will go before you to Galilee.” 33 ccPeter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 cdJesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, cebefore the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 cfPeter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
36 cgThen Jesus went with them chto a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” 37And taking with him ciPeter and cjthe two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, ck“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and clwatch ▼▼Or keep awake; also verses 40, 41
with me.” 39And going a little farther he fell on his face cnand prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let cothis cup pass from me; cpnevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” 40And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 cqWatch and crpray that you csmay not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, ctyour will be done.” 43And again he came and found them sleeping, for cutheir eyes were heavy. 44So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for cvthe third time, saying the same words again.
