The Lord is God, and He has given us light;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.

For the Jews there was light and gladness and joy and honor.

For You light my lamp;
The Lord my God illumines my darkness.

When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.”

He made its horns on its four corners, its horns being of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the Lord, 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.

Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people did not answer him a word.

On the next day they made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.

By Your favor do good to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.

The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them.

Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

I will bear the indignation of the Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the light,
And I will see His righteousness.

“But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
