Bible: Isa. 6:8; 9:6; 48:15, 16

6:8 I heard the voice of the sovereign master say, “Whom will I send? Who will go on our behalf?” 1  I answered, “Here I am, send me!

9:6Whoever sheds human blood, 1 

by other humans 2 

must his blood be shed;

for in God’s image 3 

God 4  has made humankind.”

48:15 Then he blessed Joseph and said,

May the God before whom my fathers

Abraham and Isaac walked

the God who has been my shepherd 1 

all my life long to this day,

48:16 the Angel 2  who has protected me 3 

from all harm

bless these boys.

May my name be named in them, 4 

and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac.

May they grow into a multitude on the earth.”
