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!”
9:6 “Whoever 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.”
