⁵ And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.

² And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:

¹¹ And on the first day of every month you are to give a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark;

¹⁰ And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.

¹⁶ For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:

¹⁴ So the brothers sent Paul straight away to the sea: but Silas and Timothy kept there still.

⁵⁹ So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

³ The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.

³ Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:

¹² For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;

²³ And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

¹⁹ And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.

⁶ And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.
