Deuteronomy 26:2-15
that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him,“ I profess today to Yahweh your God, that I have come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers to give us.”The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before Yahweh your God’s altar.You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God,“ My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.Then we cried to Yahweh, the God of our fathers. Yahweh heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Yahweh, have given me.” You shall set it down before Yahweh your God, and worship before Yahweh your God.You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.You shall say before Yahweh your God,“ I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to Yahweh my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought Yahweh’s offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments.They came, both men and women, as many as were willing- hearted, and brought brooches, earrings, signet rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to Yahweh.Everyone with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.Everyone who offered an offering of silver and bronze brought Yahweh’s offering; and everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.All the women who were wise- hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun: the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate;with the spice and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.The children of Israel brought a free will offering to Yahweh; every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Yahweh had commanded to be made by Moses.

Haggai 1:4-9
“ Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways.You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.”This is what Yahweh of Armies says:“ Consider your ways.Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh.“ You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies,“ Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

Mark 14:10-21
Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him,“ Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”He sent two of his disciples, and said to them,“ Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house,‘ The Teacher says,“ Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.When it was evening he came with the twelve.As they sat and were eating, Jesus said,“ Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me— he who eats with me.”They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one,“ Surely not I?” And another said,“ Surely not I?”He answered them,“ It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
