ט (Tet) The Lord is good to those who trust ¹  in him, to the one ²  who seeks him.

A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools abhor ¹  turning away from evil.

Pleasant words are like ¹  a honeycomb, ²  sweet to the soul and healing ³  to the bones.

You must not slash your body for a dead person ¹  or incise a tattoo on yourself. ²  I am the Lord.

Moreover, you must not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; he must surely be put to death.

The Lord God formed ¹  the man from the soil of the ground ²  and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, ³  and the man became a living being. ⁴ 

The Lord said to Moses: “Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron – say to them, ‘For a dead person ¹  no priest ²  is to defile himself among his people, ³ 

“Command the Israelites to expel ¹  from the camp every leper, ²  everyone who has a discharge, ³  and whoever becomes defiled by a corpse. ⁴ 

It happened that some men ¹  who were ceremonially defiled ²  by the dead body of a man ³  could not keep ⁴  the Passover on that day, so they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

And those men said to him, “We are ceremonially defiled by the dead body of a man; why are we kept back from offering the Lord’s offering at its appointed time among the Israelites?”

“Tell the Israelites, ‘If any ¹  of you or of your posterity become ceremonially defiled by touching a dead body, or are on a journey far away, then he may ²  observe the Passover to the Lord.
