1.1
And the Lord called Moses again and spoke to him out of the tabernacle
of witness, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them, 1.2
If [any] man of you shall bring gifts to the Lord, ye shall bring your
gifts of the cattle and of the oxen and of the sheep. 1.3
If his gift be a whole-burnt-offering, he shall bring an unblemished
male of the herd to the door of the tabernacle of witness, he shall
bring it as acceptable before the Lord. 1.4
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering as a thing
acceptable for him, to make atonement for him. 1.5
And they shall slay the calf before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the
priests shall bring the blood, and they shall pour the blood round
about on the altar, which [is] at the doors of the tabernacle of
witness. 1.6 And having flayed the whole burnt-offering, they shall divide it by its limbs. 1.7 And the sons of Aaron the priests shall put fire on the altar, and shall pile wood on the fire. 1.8
And the sons of Aaron the priests shall pile up the divided parts, and
the head, and the fat on the wood on the fire, [the wood] which is on
the altar. 1.9
And the entrails and the feet they shall wash in water, and the priests
shall put all on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a
smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 1.10
And if his gift [be] of the sheep to the Lord, or of the lambs, or of
the kids for whole-burnt-offerings, he shall bring it a male without
blemish. 1.11
And he shall lay his hand on its head; and they shall kill it by the
side of the altar, toward the north before the Lord, and the sons of
Aaron the priests shall pour its blood on the altar round about. 1.12
And they shall divide it by its limbs, and its head and its fat, and
the priests shall pile them up on the wood which is on the fire, on the
altar. 1.13
And they shall wash the entrails and the feet with water, and the
priest shall bring all the [parts] and put them on the altar: it is a
burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 1.14
And if he bring his gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord, of birds, then
shall he bring his gift of doves or pigeons. 1.15
And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall wring off its
head; and the priest shall put it on the altar, and shall wring out the
blood at the bottom of the altar. 1.16
And he shall take away the crop with the feathers, and shall cast it
forth by the altar toward the east to the place of the ashes. 1.17
And he shall break it off from the wings and shall not separate it, and
the priest shall put it on the altar on the wood which is on the fire:
it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a sweet-smelling savour to the
Lord.
2.1
And if a soul bring a gift, a sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be
fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense
on it: it is a sacrifice.
2.2 And he shall bring it to the priests the
sons of Aaron: and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour
with the oil, and all its frankincense, then the priest shall put the
memorial of it on the altar: [it is] a sacrifice, an odour of sweet
savour to the Lord.
2.3 And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be
for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the
Lord.
2.4 And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice baked
from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, [he shall bring]
unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with
oil.
2.5 And if thy gift [be] a sacrifice from a
pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened [offerings].
2.6 And thou shalt break them into fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.
2.7 And if thy gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
2.8 And he shall offer the sacrifice which he
shall make of these to the Lord, and shall bring it to the priest.
2.9 And the priest shall approach the altar,
and shall take away from the sacrifice a memorial of it, and the priest
shall place it on the altar: a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savour
to the Lord.
2.10 And that which is left of the sacrifice [shall
be] for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt-offerings of the
Lord.
2.11 Ye shall not leaven any sacrifice which ye shall
bring to the Lord; for [as to] any leaven, or any honey, ye shall not
bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord.
2.12 Ye shall bring them in the way of fruits to the
Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet-smelling
savour to the Lord.
2.13 And every gift of your sacrifice shall be
seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from
your sacrifices: on every gift of yours ye shall offer salt to the Lord
your God.
2.14 And if thou wouldest offer a sacrifice of
first-fruits to the Lord, [it shall be] new grains ground [and] roasted
for the Lord; so shalt thou bring the sacrifice of the first-fruits.
2.15 And thou shalt pour oil upon it, and shalt put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.
2.16 And the priest shall offer the memorial of it
[taken] from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is a
burnt-offering to the Lord.
3.1
And if his gift to the Lord be a peace-offering, if he should bring it
of the oxen, whether it be male or whether it be female, he shall bring
it unblemished before the Lord.
3.2 And he shall lay his hands on the head of
the gift, and shall slay it before the Lord, by the doors of the
tabernacle of witness. And the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour the
blood on the altar of burnt-offerings round about.
3.3 And they shall bring of the peace-offering
a burnt-sacrifice to the Lord, the fat covering the belly, and all the
fat on the belly.
3.4 And the two kidneys and the fat hat is upon
them; he shall take away that which is on the thighs, and the caul
above the liver together with the kidneys.
3.5 And the priests the sons of Aaron shall
offer them on the altar on the burnt-offering, on the wood which is on
the fire upon the altar: [it is] a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet
savour to the Lord.
3.6 And if his gift be of the sheep, a
peace-offering to the Lord, male or female, he shall bring it
unblemished.
3.7 If he bring a lamb for his gift, he shall bring it before the Lord.
3.8 And he shall lay his hands on the head of
his offering, and shall slay it by the doors of the tabernacle of
witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on
the altar round about.
3.9 And he shall bring of the peace-offering a
burnt-sacrifice to the Lord: the fat and the hinder part unblemished he
shall take away with the loins, and having taken away all the fat that
covers the belly, and all the fat that is on the belly,
3.10 and both the kidneys and the fat that is upon
them, [and] that which is on the thighs, and the caul which is on the
liver with the kidneys,
3.11 the priest shall offer these on the altar: [it
is] a sacrifice of sweet savour, a burnt-offering to the Lord.
3.12 And if his offering be of the goats, then shall he bring it before the Lord.
3.13 And he shall lay his hands on its head; and they
shall slay it before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of
witness; and the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on
the altar round about.
3.14 And he shall offer of it a burnt-offering to the
Lord, [even] the fat that covers the belly, and all the fat that is on
the belly.
3.15 And both the kidneys, and all the fat that is
upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul of the liver
with the kidneys, shall he take away.
3.16 And the priest shall offer it upon the altar:
[it is] a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. All the
fat [belongs] to the Lord.
3.17 [It is] a perpetual statute throughout your
generations, in all your habitations; y shall eat no fat and no blood.
4.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
4.2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If
a soul shall sin unwillingly before the Lord, in any of the
commandments of the Lord concerning things which he ought not to do,
and shall do some of them;
4.3 if the anointed priest sin so as to cause
the people to sin, then shall he bring for his sin, which he has
sinned, an unblemished calf of the herd to the Lord for his sin.
4.4 And he shall bring the calf to the door of
the tabernacle of witness before the Lord, and he shall put his hand on
the head of the calf before the Lord, and shall slay the calf in the
presence of the Lord.
4.5 And the anointed priest who has been
consecrated having received of the blood of the calf, shall then bring
it into the tabernacle of witness.
4.6 And the priest shall dip his finger into
the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, over
against the holy veil.
4.7 And the priest shall put of the blood of
the calf on the horns of the altar of the compound incense which is
before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness; and all the
blood of the calf shall he pour out by the foot of the altar of
whole-burnt-offerings, which is by the doors of the tabernacle of
witness.
4.8 and all the fat of the calf of the
sin-offering shall he take off from it; the fat that covers the
inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards,
4.9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is
upon them, which is on the thighs, and the caul that is on the liver
with the kidneys, them shall he take away,
4.10 as he takes it away from the calf of the
sacrifice of peace-offering, so shall the priest offer it on the altar
of burnt-offering.
4.11 And [they shall take] the skin of the calf, and
all his flesh with the head and the extremities and the belly and the
dung,
4.12 and they shall carry out the whole calf out of
the camp into a clean place, where they pour out the ashes, and they
shall consume it there on wood with fire: it shall be burnt on the
ashes poured out.
4.13 And if the whole congregation of Israel trespass
ignorantly, and a thing should escape the notice of the congregation,
and they should do one thing forbidden of any of the commands of the
Lord, which ought not to be done, and should transgress:
4.14 and the sin wherein they have sinned should
become known to them, then shall the congregation bring an unblemished
calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and they shall bring it to the
doors of the tabernacle of witness.
4.15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay
their hands on the head of the calf before the Lord, and they shall
slay the calf before the Lord.
4.16 And the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the calf into the tabernacle of witness.
4.17 And the priest shall dip his finger into some of
the blood of the calf, and shall sprinkle it seven times before the
Lord, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
4.18 And the priest shall put some of the blood on
the horns of the altar of the incense of composition, which is before
the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness; and he shall pour out
all the blood at the bottom of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings,
which is by the door of the tabernacle of witness.
4.19 And he shall take away all the fat from it, and shall offer it up on the altar.
4.20 And he shall do to the calf as he did to the
calf of the sin-offering, so shall it be done; and the priest shall
make atonement for them, and the trespass shall be forgiven them.
4.21 And they shall carry forth the calf whole
without the camp, and they shall burn the calf as they burnt the former
calf: it is the sin-offering of the congregation.
4.22 And if a ruler sin, and break one of all the
commands of the Lord his God, [doing the thing] which ought not to be
done, unwillingly, and shall sin and trespass,
4.23 and his trespass wherein he has sinned, be known
to him,-- then shall he offer for his gift a kid of the goats, a male
without blemish.
4.24 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the
kid, and they shall kill it in the place were they kill the [victims
for] whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord; it is a sin-offering.
4.25 And the priest shall put some of the blood of
the sin-offering with his finger on the horns of the altar of
whole-burnt-offering; and he shall pour out all its blood by the bottom
of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings.
4.26 And he shall offer up all his fat on the altar,
as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall
make atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
4.27 And if a soul of the people of the land should
sin unwillingly, in doing a thing [contrary to] any of the commandments
of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and shall transgress,
4.28 and his sin should be known to him, wherein he
has sinned, then shall he bring a kid of the goats, a female without
blemish shall he bring for his sin, which he has sinned.
4.29 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his
sin-offering, and they shall slay the kid of the sin-offering in the
place where they slay the [victims for] whole-burnt-offerings.
4.30 And the priest shall take of its blood with his
finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of
whole-burnt-offerings; and all its blood he shall pour forth by the
foot of the altar.
4.31 And he shall take away all the fat, as the fat
is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offering, and the priest
shall offer it on the altar for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord;
and the priest shall make atonement for him, and [his sin] shall be
forgiven him.
4.32 And if he should offer a lamb for his sin-offering, he shall offer it a female without blemish.
4.33 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the
sin-offerings, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the
[victims for] whole-burnt-offerings.
4.34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the
sin-offering with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the
altar of whole-burnt-offerings, and he shall pour out all its blood by
the bottom of the altar of whole-burnt-offering.
4.35 And he shall take away ll his fat, as the fat of
the lamb of the sacrifice of peace-offering is taken away, and the
priest shall put it on the altar for a whole-burnt-offering to the
Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he
sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
5.1
And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and he is a witness
or has seen or been conscious, if he do not report it, he shall bear
his iniquity.
5.2 That soul which shall touch any unclean
thing, or carcase, or [that which is] unclean being taken of beasts, or
the dead bodies of abominable [reptiles] which are unclean, or carcases
of unclean cattle,
5.3 or should touch the uncleanness of a man,
or whatever kind, which he may touch and be defiled by, and it should
have escaped him, but afterwards he should know,-- then he shall have
transgressed.
5.4 That unrighteous soul, which determines
with his lips to do evil or to do good according to whatsoever a man
may determine with an oath, and it shall have escaped his notice, and
he shall [afterwards] know [it], and [so] he should sin in some one of
these things:
5.5 -- then shall he declare his sin in the tings wherein he has sinned by that sin.
5.6 And he shall bring for his transgressions
against the Lord, for his sin which he has sinned, a ewe lamb of the
flock, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall
make an atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and his sin
shall be forgiven him.
5.7 And if he cannot afford a sheep, he shall
bring for his sin which he has sinned, two turtle-doves or two young
pigeons to the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a
burnt-offering.
5.8 And he shall bring them to the priest, and
the priest shall bring the sin-offering first; and the priest shall
pinch off the head from the neck, and shall not divide the body.
5.9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the
sin-offering on the side of the altar, but the rest of the blood he
shall drop at the foot of the altar, for it is a sin-offering.
5.10 And he shall make the second a
whole-burnt-offering, as it is fit; and the priest shall make atonement
for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
5.11 And if he cannot afford a pair of turtle-doves,
or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his gift for his sin, the
tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not
pour oil upon it, nor shall he put frankincense upon it, because it is
a sin-offering.
5.12 And he shall bring it to the priest; and the
priest having taken a handful of it, shall lay the memorial of it on
the altar of whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord; it is a sin-offering.
5.13 And the priest shall make atonement for him for
his sin, which he has sinned in one of these things, and it shall be
forgiven him; and that which is left shall be the priest's, as an
offering of fine flour.
5.14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
5.15 The soul which shall be really unconscious, and
shall sin unwillingly in any of the holy things of the Lord, shall even
bring to the Lord for his transgression, a ram of the flock without
blemish, valued according to shekels of silver according to the shekel
of the sanctuary, for his [transgression] wherein he transgressed.
5.16 And he shall make compensation for that wherein
he has sinned in the holy things; and he shall add the fifth part to
it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for
him with the ram of transgression, and [his sin] shall be forgiven him.
5.17 And the soul which shall sin, and do one thing
[against] any of the commandments of the Lord, which it is not right to
do, and has not known it, and shall have transgressed, and shall have
contracted guilt,
5.18 he shall even bring a ram without blemish from
the flock, [valued] at a price of silver for his transgression to the
priest; and the priest shall make atonement for his trespass of
ignorance, wherein he ignorantly trespassed, and he knew it not; and it
shall be forgiven him.
5.19 For he has surely been guilty of transgression before the Lord.
5.20 (6.1) And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
5.21 (6.2) The soul which shall have sinned, and
willfully overlooked the commandments of the Lord, and shall have dealt
falsely in the affairs of his neighbour in the matter of a deposit, or
concerning fellowship, or concerning plunder, or has in anything
wronged his neighbour,
5.22 (6.3) or has found that which was lost, and
shall have lied concerning it, and shall have sworn unjustly concerning
[any] one of all the things, whatsoever a man may do, so as to sin
hereby;
5.23 (6.4) it shall come to pass, whensoever he shall
have sinned, and transgressed, that he shall restore the plunder which
he has seized, or [redress] the injury which he has committed, or
restore the deposit which was entrusted to him, or the lost article
which he has found of any kind, about which he swore unjustly, he shall
even restore it in full; and he shall add to it a fifth part besides;
he shall restore it to him whose it is in the day in which he happens
to be convicted.
5.24 (6.5) And he shall bring to the Lord for his
trespass, a ram of the flock, without blemish, of value to the amount
of the thing in which he trespassed.
5.25 (6.6) And the priest shall make atonement for
him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any one of all the
things which he did and trespassed in it.
5.26 (6.7) And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6.1 (6.8) Charge Aaron and his sons, saying,
6.2 (6.9) This [is] the law of
whole-burnt-offering; this is the whole-burnt-offering in its burning
on the altar all the night till the morning; and the fire of the altar
shall burn on it, it shall not be put out.
6.3 (6.10) And the priest shall put on the
linen tunic, and he shall put the linen drawers on his body; and shall
take away that which has been thoroughly burnt, which the fire shall
have consumed, even the whole-burnt-offering from the altar, and he
shall put it near the altar.
6.4 (6.11) And he shall put off his robe, and
put on another robe, and he shall take forth the offering that has been
burnt without the camp into a clean place.
6.5 (6.12) And the fire on the altar shall be
kept burning on it and shall not be extinguished; and the priest shall
burn on it wood every morning, and shall heap on it the
whole-burnt-offering, and shall lay on it the fat of the peace-offering.
6.6 (6.13) And the fire shall always burn on the altar; it shall not be extinguished.
6.7 (6.14) This is the law of the sacrifice,
which the sons of Aaron shall bring near before the Lord, before the
altar.
6.8 (6.15) And he shall take from it a handful
of the fine flour of the sacrifice with its oil, and with all its
frankincense, which are upon the sacrifice; and he shall offer up on
the altar a burnt-offering as a sweet-smelling savour, a memorial of it
to the Lord.
6.9 (6.16) And Aaron and his sons shall eat
that which is left of it: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy
place, they shall eat it in the court of the tabernacle of witness.
6.10 (6.17) It shall not be baked with leaven. I have
given it as a portion to them of the burnt-offerings of the Lord: it is
most holy, as the offering for sin, and as the offering for trespass.
6.11 (6.18) Every male of the priests shall eat it:
it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations of the
burnt-offerings of the Lord; whosoever shall touch them shall be
hallowed.
6.12 (6.19) And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6.13 (6.20) This is the gift of Aaron and of his
sons, which they shall offer to the Lord in the day in which thou shalt
anoint him; the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sacrifice
continually, the half of it in the morning, and the half of it in the
evening.
6.14 (6.21) It shall be made with oil in a
frying-pan; he shall offer it kneaded [and] in rolls, an offering of
fragments, an offering of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
6.15 (6.22) The anointed priest who is in his place,
[one] of his sons, shall offer it: it is a perpetual statute, it shall
all be consumed.
6.16 (6.23) And every sacrifice of a priest shall be thoroughly burnt, and shall not be eaten.
6.17 (6.24) And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6.18 (6.25) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying,
This is the law of the sin-offering;-- in the place where they slay the
whole-burnt-offering, they shall slay the sin-offerings before the
Lord: they are most holy.
6.19 (6.26) The priest that offers it shall eat it:
in a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of
witness.
6.20 (6.27) Every one that touches the flesh of it
shall be holy, and on whose soever garment any of its blood shall have
been sprinkled, whosoever shall have it sprinkled, shall be washed in
the holy place.
6.21 (6.28) And the earthen vessel, in whichsoever it
shall have been sodden, shall be broken; and if it shall have been
sodden in a brazen vessel, he shall scour it and wash it with water.
6.22 (6.29) Every male among the priests shall eat it: it is most holy to the Lord.
6.23 (6.30) And no offerings for sin, of whose blood
there shall be brought any into the tabernacle of witness to make
atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: they shall be burned with
fire.
7.1 And this [is] the law of the ram for the trespass-offering; it is most holy.
7.2 In the place where they slay the
whole-burnt-offering, they shall slay the ram of the trespass-offering
before the Lord, and he shall pour out the blood at the bottom of the
altar round about.
7.3 And he shall offer all the fat from it; and
the loins, and all the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat
that is upon the inwards,
7.4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is
upon them, that which is upon the thighs, and the caul upon the liver
with the kidney, he shall take them away.
7.5 And the priest shall offer them on the altar a burnt-offering to the Lord; it is for trespass.
7.6 Every male of the priest shall eat them, in the holy place they shall eat them: they are most holy.
7.7 As the sin-offering, so also [is] the
trespass-offering. There is one law of them; the priest who shall make
atonement with it, his it shall be.
7.8 And [as for] the priest who offers a man's
whole-burnt-offering, the skin of the whole-burnt-offering which he
offers, shall be his.
7.9 And every sacrifice which shall be prepared
in the oven, and every one which shall be prepared on the hearth, or on
a frying-pan, it is the property of the priest that offers it; it shall
be his.
7.10 And every sacrifice made up with oil, or not
made up [with oil], shall belong to the sons of Aaron, an equal portion
to each.
7.11 This [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which they shall bring to the Lord.
7.12 If a man should offer it for praise, then shall
he bring, for the sacrifice of praise, loaves of fine flour made up
with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and fine flour
kneaded with oil.
7.13 With leavened bread he shall offer his gifts, with the peace-offering of praise.
7.14 And he shall bring one of all his gifts, a
separate offering to the Lord: it shall belong to the priest who pours
forth the blood of the peace-offering.
7.15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of the
peace-offering of praise shall be his, and it shall be eaten in the day
in which it is offered: they shall not leave of it till the morning.
7.16 And if it be a vow, or he offer his gift of his
own will, on whatsoever day he shall offer his sacrifice, it shall be
eaten, and on the morrow.
7.17 And that which is left of the flesh of the sacrifice till the third day, shall be consumed with fire.
7.18 And if he do at all eat of the flesh on the
third day, it shall not be accepted for him that offers: it shall not
be reckoned to him, it is pollution; and whatsoever soul shall eat of
it, shall bear his iniquity.
7.19 And whatsoever flesh shall have touched any
unclean thing, it shall not be eaten, it shall be consumed with fire;
every one that is clean shall eat the flesh.
7.20 And whatsoever soul shall eat of the flesh of
the sacrifice of the peace-offering which is the Lord's, and his
uncleanness be upon him, that soul shall perish from his people.
7.21 And whatsoever soul shall touch any unclean
thing, either of the uncleanness of a man, or of unclean quadrupeds, or
any unclean abominable thing, and shall eat of the flesh of the
sacrifice of the peace-offering, which is the Lord's, that soul shall
perish from his people.
7.22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
7.23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat of oxen or sheep or goats.
7.24 And the fat of such animals as have died of
themselves, or have been seized of beasts, may be employed for any
work; but it shall not be eaten for food.
7.25 Every one that eats fat off the beasts, from
which he will bring a burnt-offering to the Lord-- that soul shall
perish from his people.
7.26 Ye shall eat no blood in all your habitations, either of beasts or of birds.
7.27 Every soul that shall eat blood, that soul shall perish from his people.
7.28 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
7.29 Thou shalt also speak to the children of Israel,
saying, He that offers a sacrifice of peace-offering, shall bring his
gift to the Lord also from the sacrifice of peace-offering.
7.30 His hands shall bring the burnt-offerings to the
Lord; the fat which is on the breast and the lobe of the liver, he
shall bring them, so as to set them for a gift before the Lord.
7.31 And the priest shall offer the fat upon the altar, and the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons,
7.32 and ye shall give the right shoulder for a
choice piece to the priest of your sacrifices of peace-offering.
7.33 He that offers the blood of the peace-offering,
and the fat, of the sons of Aaron, his shall be the right shoulder for
a portion.
7.34 For I have taken the wave-breast and shoulder of
separation from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of your
peace-offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his
sons, a perpetual ordinance [due] from the children of Israel.
7.35 This is the anointing of Aaron, and the
anointing of his sons, [their portion] of the burnt-offerings of the
Lord, in the day in which he brought them forward to minister as
priests to the Lord;
7.36 as the Lord commanded to give to them in the day
in which he anointed them of the sons of Israel, a perpetual statute
through their generations.
7.37 This [is] the law of the whole-burnt-offerings,
and of sacrifice, and of in-offering, and of offering for
transgression, and of the sacrifice of consecration, and of the
sacrifice of peace-offering;
7.38 as the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sina,
in the day in which he commanded the children of Israel to offer their
gifts before the Lord in the wilderness of Sina.
8.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8.2 Take Aaron and his sons, and his robes and
the anointing oil, and the calf for the sin-offering, and the two rams,
and the basket of unleavened bread,
8.3 and assemble the whole congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
8.4 And Moses did as the Lord appointed him,
and he assembled the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of
witness.
8.5 And Moses said to the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do.
8.6 And Moses brought nigh Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water,
8.7 and put on him the coat, and girded him
with the girdle, and clothed him with the tunic, and put on him the
ephod;
8.8 and girded him [with a girdle] according to
the make of the ephod, and clasped him closely with it: and put upon it
the oracle, and put upon the oracle the Manifestation and the Truth.
8.9 And he put the mitre on his head, and put
upon the mitre in front the golden plate, the most holy thing, as the
Lord commanded Moses.
8.10 And Moses took of the anointing oil,
8.11 and sprinkled of it seven times on the altar;
and anointed the altar, and hallowed it, and all things on it, and the
laver, and its foot, and sanctified them; and anointed the tabernacle
and all its furniture, and hallowed it.
8.12 And Moses poured of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron; and he anointed him and sanctified him.
8.13 And Moses brought the sons of Aaron near, and
put on them coast and girded them with girdles, and put on them
bonnets, as the Lord commanded Moses.
8.14 And Moses brought near the calf for the
sin-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of
the calf of the sin-offering.
8.15 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood, ad
put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger; and he
purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the
altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement upon it.
8.16 And Moses took all the fat that was upon the
inwards, and the lobe on the liver, and both the kidneys, and the fat
that was upon them, and Moses offered them on the altar.
8.17 But the calf, and his hide, and his flesh, and
his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
8.18 And Moses brought near the ram for a
whole-burnt-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the
head of the ram. And Moses slew the ram: and Moses poured the blood on
the altar round about.
8.19 And he divided the ram by its limbs, and Moses
offered the head, and the limbs, and the fat; and he washed the belly
and the feet with water.
8.20 And Moses offered up the whole ram on the altar:
it is a whole-burnt-offering for a sweet-smelling savour; it is a
burnt-offering to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
8.21 And Moses brought the second ram, the ram of
consecration, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of
the ram, and [he] slew him;
8.22 and Moses took of his blood, and put it upon the
tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on
the great toe of his right foot.
8.23 And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron; and
Moses put of the blood on the tips of their right ears, and on the
thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet,
and Moses poured out the blood on the altar round about.
8.24 And he took the fat, and the rump, and the fat
on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the
fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder.
8.25 And from the basket of consecration, which was
before the Lord, he also took one unleavened loaf, and one loaf made
with oil, and one cake; and put [them] upon the fat, and the right
shoulder:
8.26 and put them all on the hands of Aaron, and upon
the hands of his sons, and offered them up for a wave-offering before
the Lord.
8.27 And Moses took them at their hands, and Moses
offered them on the altar, on the whole-burnt-offering of consecration,
which is a smell of sweet savour: it is a burnt-offering to the Lord.
8.28 And Moses took the breast, and separated it for
a heave-offering before the Lord, from the ram of consecration; and it
became Moses' portion, as the Lord commanded Moses.
8.29 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the
blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, and on his
garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
8.30 And he sanctified Aaron and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
8.31 And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil
the flesh in the tent of the tabernacle of witness in the holy place;
and there ye shall eat it and the loaves in the basket of consecration,
as it has been appointed me, [the Lord] saying, Aaron and his sons
shall eat them.
8.32 And that which is left of the flesh and of the loaves burn ye with fire.
8.33 And ye shall not go out from the door of the
tabernacle of witness for seven days, until the day be fulfilled, the
day of your consecration; for in seven days shall he consecrate you,
8.34 as he did in this day on which the Lord commanded me to do so, to make an atonement for you.
8.35 And ye shall remain seven days at the door of
the tabernacle of witness, day and night; ye shall observe the
ordinances of the Lord, that ye die not; for so has the Lord God
commanded me.
8.36 And Aaron and his sons performed all these commands which the Lord commanded Moses.
9.1
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel,
9.2 and Moses said to Aaron, Take to thyself a
young calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a
whole-burnt-offering, unblemished, and offer them before the Lord.
9.3 And speak to the elders of Israel, saying,
Take one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a young calf, and a
lamb of a year old for a whole-burnt-offering, spotless,
9.4 and a calf and a ram for a peace offering
before the Lord, and fine flour mingled with oil, for to-day the Lord
will appear among you.
9.5 And they took as Moses commanded them
before the tabernacle of witness, and all the congregation drew nigh,
and they stood before the Lord.
9.6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the
Lord has spoken; do [it], and the glory of the Lord shall appear among
you.
9.7 And Moses said to Aaron, Draw nigh to the
altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy whole-burnt-offering, and
make atonement for thyself, and for thy house; and offer the gifts of
the people, and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
9.8 And Aaron drew nigh to the altar, and slew the calf of his sin-offering.
9.9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to
him, and he dipped his finger into the blood, and put it on the horns
of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar.
9.10 And he offered up on the altar the fat and the
kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, according as the
Lord commanded Moses.
9.11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside of the camp.
9.12 And he slew the whole-burnt-offering; and the
sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it on the altar
round about.
9.13 And they brought the whole-burnt-offering,
according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon the altar.
9.14 And he washed the belly and the feet with water,
and he put them on the whole-burnt-offering on the altar.
9.15 And he brought the gift of the people, and took
the goat of the sin-offering of the people, and slew it, and purified
it as also the first.
9.16 And he brought the whole-burnt-offering, and offered it in due form.
9.17 And he brought the sacrifice and filled his
hands with it, and laid it on the altar, besides the morning
whole-burnt-offering.
9.18 And he slew the calf, and the ram of the
sacrifice of peace-offering of the people; and the sons of Aaron
brought the blood to him, and he poured it out on the altar round about.
9.19 And [he took] the fat of the calf, and the hind
quarters of the ram, and the fat covering the belly, and the two
kidneys, and the fat upon them, and the caul on the liver.
9.20 And he put the fat on the breasts, and offered the fat on the altar.
9.21 And Aaron separated the breast and the right
shoulder as a choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
9.22 And Aaron lifted up his hands on the people and
blessed them; and after he had offered the sin-offering, and the
whole-burnt-offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came down.
9.23 And Moses and Aaron entered into the tabernacle
of witness. And they came out and blessed all the people, and the glory
of the Lord appeared to all the people.
9.24 And fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured
the offerings on the altar, both the whole-burnt-offerings and the fat;
and all the people saw, and were amazed, and fell upon their faces.
10.1
And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abiud, took each his censer, and
put fire therein, and threw incense thereon, and offered strange fire
before the Lord, which the Lord did not command them,
10.2 and fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
10.3 And Moses said to Aaron, This is the thing which
the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified among them that draw night
to me, and I will be glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was
pricked [in his heart].
10.4 And Moses called Misadae, and Elisaphan, sons of
Oziel, sons of the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Draw
near and take your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
10.5 And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.
10.6 And Moses said to Aaron, and Eleazar and Ithamar
his sons that were left, Ye shall not make bare your heads, and ye
shall not tear your garments; that ye die not, and [so] there should be
wrath on all the congregation: but your brethren, [even] all the house
of Israel, shall lament for the burning, with which they were burnt by
the Lord.
10.7 And ye shall not go forth from the door of the
tabernacle of witness, that ye die not; for the Lord's anointing oil
[is] upon you: and they did according to the word of Moses.
10.8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,
10.9 Ye shall not drink wine nor strong drink, thou
and thy sons with thee, whensoever ye enter into the tabernacle of
witness, or when ye approach the altar, so shall ye not die; [it is] a
perpetual statute for your generations,
10.10 to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,
10.11 and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.
10.12 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,
the sons of Aaron who survived, Take the sacrifice that is left of the
burnt-offerings of the Lord, and ye shall eat unleavened bread by the
altar: it is most holy.
10.13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place; for this is a
statute for thee and a statute for thy sons, of the burnt-offerings to
the Lord; for so it has been commanded me.
10.14 And ye shall eat the breast of separation, and the
shoulder of the choice-offering in the holy place, thou and thy sons
and thy house with thee; for it has been given as an ordinance for thee
and an ordinance for thy sons, of the sacrifices of peace-offering of
the children of Israel.
10.15 They shall bring the shoulder of the choice-offering,
and the breast of the separation upon the burnt-offerings of the fat,
to separate for a separation before the Lord; and it shall be a
perpetual ordinance for thee and thy sons and thy daughters with thee,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
10.16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the
sin-offering, but it had been consumed by fire; and Moses was angry
with Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,
10.17 Why did ye not eat the sin-offering in the holy
place? for because it is most holy he has given you this to eat, that
ye might take away the sin of the congregation, and make atonement for
them before the Lord.
10.18 For the blood of it was not brought into the holy
place: ye shall eat it within, before [the Lord], as the Lord commanded
me.
10.19 And Aaron spoke to Moses, saying, If they have
brought nigh to-day their sin-offerings, and their
whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, and these events have happened
to me, and [yet] I should eat to-day of the sin-offerings, would it be
pleasing to the Lord?
10.20 And Moses heard [it], and it pleased him.
11.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
11.2 Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These
are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
11.3 Every beast parting the hoof and making
divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these ye
shall eat.
11.4 But of these ye shall not eat, of those that
chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the
camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is
unclean to you.
11.5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
11.6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
11.7 And the swine, because this [animal] divides the
hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is
unclean to you.
11.8 Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.
11.9 And these [are] what ye shall eat of all that
are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters,
and in the seas, and in the brooks, these ye shall eat.
11.10 And all things which have not fins or scales in the
water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters
produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and
they shall be abominations to you.
11.11 Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall abhor their carcases.
11.12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
11.13 And these are the things which ye shall abhor of
birds, an they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle
and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.
11.14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
11.15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the sea-mew, and the like to it:
11.16 and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
11.17 and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,
11.18 and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,
11.19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
11.20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
11.21 But these ye shall eat of the creeping winged
animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to
leap with on the earth.
11.22 And these of them ye shall eat: the caterpillar and
his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like,
and the locust and his like.
11.23 Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
11.24 And by these ye shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
11.25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
11.26 And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and
makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every
one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
11.27 And every one among all the wild beasts that moves
upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every
one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
11.28 And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his
garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.
11.29 And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,
11.30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
11.31 These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which
are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean
till evening.
11.32 And on whatsoever one of their dead bodies shall fall
it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or
sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be
dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall
be clean.
11.33 And every earthen vessel into which one of these
things shall fall, whatsoever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it
shall be broken.
11.34 And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come
[from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is
drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.
11.35 And every thing on which there shall fall of their
dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken
down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.
11.36 Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a
pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches
their carcases shall be unclean.
11.37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.
11.38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
11.39 And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for
you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till
evening.
11.40 And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his
garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their
carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean till evening.
11.41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
11.42 And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and
every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet
among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth-- ye shall not eat it,
for it is an abomination to you.
11.43 And ye shall not defile your souls with any of the
reptiles that creep upon the earth, and ye shall not be polluted with
them, and ye shall not be unclean by them.
11.44 For I am the Lord your God; and ye shall be
sanctified, and ye shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy;
and ye shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping
upon the earth.
11.45 For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land
of Egypt to be your God; and ye shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.
11.46 This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every
living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping
on the earth;
11.47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and
between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and
those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
12.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, Whatsoever woman shall have conceived and born a male
child shall be unclean seven days, she shall be unclean according to
the days of separation for her monthly courses.
12.3 And on the eighth day she shall circumcise the flesh of his foreskin.
12.4 And for thirty-three days she shall continue in
her unclean blood; she shall touch nothing holy, and shall not enter
the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.
12.5 But if she should have born a female child, then
she shall be unclean twice seven days, according to the time of her
monthly courses; and for sixty-six days shall she remain in her unclean
blood.
12.6 And when the days of her purification shall have
been fulfilled for a son or a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of a
year old without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering, and a young pigeon
or turtle-dove for a sin-offering to the door of the tabernacle of
witness, to the priest.
12.7 And he shall present it before the Lord, and the
priest shall make atonement for her, and shall purge her from the
fountain of her blood; this is the law of her who bears a male or a
female.
12.8 And if she cannot afford a lamb, then shall she
take two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, one for a
whole-burnt-offering, and one for a sin-offering; ad the priest shall
make atonement for her, and she shall be purified.
13.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
13.2 If any man should have in the skin of his flesh
a bright clear spot, and there should be in the skin of his flesh a
plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one
of his sons the priests.
13.3 And the priest shall view the spot in the skin
of his flesh; and [if] the hair in the spot be changed [to] white, and
the appearance of the spot be below the skin of the flesh, it is a
plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look upon it, and pronounce him
unclean.
13.4 But if the spot be clear and white in the skin
of his flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and
its hair have not changed [itself for] white hair, but it is dark, then
the priest shall separate [him that has] the spot seven days;
13.5 and the priest shall look on the spot the
seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot remains before him, [if] the
spot has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall separate him the
second time seven days.
13.6 And the priest shall look upon him the second
time on the seventh day; and, behold, [if] the spot be dark, [and] the
spot have not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
clean; for it is a [mere] mark, and the man shall wash his garments and
be clean.
13.7 But if the bright spot should have changed and
spread in the skin, after the priest has seen him for the purpose of
purifying him, then shall he appear the second time to the priest,
13.8 and the priest shall look upon him; and, behold,
[if] the mark have spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it is a leprosy.
13.9 And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;
13.10 and the priest shall look, and, behold, if it is a
white spot in the skin, and it has changed the hair to white, and
[there be] some of the sound part of the quick flesh in the sore--
13.11 it is a leprosy waxing old in the skin of the flesh;
and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall separate him,
because he is unclean.
13.12 And if the leprosy should have come out very
evidently in the skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the
patient from the head to the feet, wheresoever the priest shall look;
13.13 then the priest shall look, and, behold, the leprosy
has covered all the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce
him clean of the plague, because it has changed all to white, it is
clean.
13.14 But on whatsoever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced unclean.
13.15 And the priest shall look upon the sound flesh, and
the sound flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it is unclean, it is
a leprosy.
13.16 But if the sound flesh be restored and changed [to] white, then shall he come to the priest;
13.17 and the priest shall see [him], and, behold, [if] the
plague is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the patient
clean: he is clean.
13.18 And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,
13.19 and there should be in the place of the ulcer a white
sore, or [one] looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen
by the priest;
13.20 then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the
appearance be beneath the skin, and its hair has changed to white, then
the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is a leprosy, it has
broken out in the ulcer.
13.21 But if the priest look, and behold there is no white
hair on it, and it be not below the skin of the flesh, and it be
dark-coloured; then the priest shall separate him seven days.
13.22 But if it manifestly spread over the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy; it has
broken out in the ulcer.
13.23 But if the bright spot should remain in its place and
not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; and the priest shall pronounce
him clean.
13.24 And if the flesh be in his skin [in a state of] fiery
inflammation, and there should be in his skin the part which is healed
of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused with red or
very white;
13.25 then the priest shall look upon him, and, behold,
[if] the hair being white is changed to a bright colour, and its
appearance is lower than the skin, it is a leprosy; it has broken out
in the inflammation, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is
a plague of leprosy.
13.26 But if the priest should look, and, behold, there is
not in the bright spot any white hair, and it should not be lower than
the skin, and it should be dark, then the priest shall separate him
seven days.
13.27 And the priest shall look upon him on the seventh
day; and if the spot be much spread in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy, it has broken out in
the ulcer.
13.28 But if the bright spot remain stationary, and be not
spread in the skin, but [the sore] should be dark, it is a scar of
inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the
mark of the inflammation.
13.29 And if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the head or the beard;
13.30 then the priest shall look on the plague, and,
behold, [if] the appearance of it be beneath the skin, and in it there
be thin yellowish hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
is a scurf, it is a leprosy of the head or a leprosy of the beard.
13.31 And if the priest should see the plague of the scurf,
and, behold, the appearance of it be not beneath the skin, and there is
no yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall set apart [him that has]
the plague of the scurf seven days.
13.32 And the priest shall look at the plague on the
seventh day; and, behold, [if] the scurf be not spread, and there be no
yellowish hair on it, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow
under the skin;
13.33 then the skin shall be shaven, but the scurf shall
not be shaven; and the priest shall set aside the person having the
scurf the second time for seven days.
13.34 And the priest shall see the scurf on the seventh
day; and, behold, [if] the scurf is not spread in the skin after the
man's being shaved, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow
beneath the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he
shall wash his garments, and be clean.
13.35 But if the scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,
13.36 then the priest shall look, and, behold, [if] the
scurf be spread in the skin, the priest shall not examine concerning
the yellow hair, for he is unclean.
13.37 But if the scurf remain before [him] in its place,
and a dark hair should have arisen in it, the scurf is healed: he is
clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13.38 And if a man or woman should have in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness,
13.39 then the priest shall look; and, behold, there
[being] bright spots of a bright whiteness in the skin of their flesh,
it is a tetter; it burst forth in the skin of his flesh; he is clean.
13.40 And if any one's head should lose the hair, he is [only] bald, he is clean.
13.41 And if his head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: he is clean.
13.42 And if there should be in his baldness of head, or
his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in his
baldness of head, or baldness of forehead.
13.43 And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if
the appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of
head or baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of
his flesh,
13.44 he is a leprous man: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean, his plague is in his head.
13.45 And the leper in whom the plague is, let his garments
be ungirt, and his head uncovered; and let him have a covering put upon
his mouth, and he shall be called unclean.
13.46 All the days in which the plague shall be upon him,
being unclean, he shall be [esteemed] unclean; he shall dwell apart,
his place of sojourn shall be without the camp.
13.47 And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,
13.48 either in the warp or in the woof, or in the linen,
or in the woollen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship of skin,
13.49 and the plague be greenish or reddish in the skin, or
in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any utensil
of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to the priest.
13.50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and the
priest shall set apart [that which has] the plague seven days.
13.51 And the priest shall look upon the plague on the
seventh day; and if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the
warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatsoever things skins may be
used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; it is
unclean.
13.52 He shall burn the garment, either the warp or woof in
woollen garments or in flaxen, or in any utensil of skin, in which
there may be the plague; because it is a confirmed leprosy; it shall be
burnt with fire.
13.53 And if the priest should see, and the plague be not
spread in the garments, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any
utensil of skin,
13.54 then the priest shall give directions, and [one]
shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the priest
shall set it aside a second time for seven days.
13.55 And the priest shall look upon it after the plague
has been washed; and [if] this, even the plague, has not changed its
appearance, and the plague does not spread, it is unclean; it shall be
burnt with fire: it is fixed in the garment, in the warp, or in the
woof.
13.56 And if the priest should look, and the spot be dark
after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment, either
from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.
13.57 And if it should still appear in the garment, either
in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy
bursting forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burnt with fire.
13.58 And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any
article of skin, which shall be washed, and the plague depart from it,
shall also be washed again, and shall be clean.
13.59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy of a woollen
or linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leathern article,
to pronounce it clean or unclean.
14.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
14.2 This is the law of the leper: in whatsoever day
he shall have been cleansed, then shall he be brought to the priest.
14.3 And the priest shall come forth out of the camp,
and the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague of the leprosy is
removed from the leper.
14.4 And the priest shall give directions, and they
shall take for him that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar
wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.
14.5 And the priest shall give direction, and they
shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running water.
14.6 And as for the living bird he shall take it, and
the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and he shall dip
them and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was slain over
running water.
14.7 And he shall sprinkle seven times upon him that
was cleansed of his leprosy, and he shall be clean; and he shall let go
the living bird into the field.
14.8 and the man that has been cleansed shall wash
his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself
in water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp,
and shall remain out of his house seven days.
14.9 And it shall come to pass on the seventh day, he
shall shave off all his hair, his head and his beard, and his
eye-brows, even all his hair shall he shave; and he shall wash his
garments, and wash his body with water, and shall be clean.
14.10 And on the eighth day he shall take two lambs without
spot of a year old, and one ewe lamp without spot of a year old, and
three-tenths of fine flour for sacrifice kneaded with oil, and one
small cup of oil.
14.11 And the priest that cleanses shall present the man
under purification, and these [offerings] before the Lord, at the door
of the tabernacle of witness.
14.12 And the priest shall take one lamb, and offer him for
a trespass-offering, And the cup of oil, and set them apart for a
special offering before the Lord.
14.13 and they shall kill the lamb in the place where they
kill the whole-burnt-offerings, and the sin-offerings, in the holy
places; for it is a sin-offering: as the trespass-offering, it belongs
to the priest, it is most holy.
14.14 And the priest shall take of the blood of the
trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right
ear of the person under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand,
and on the great toe of his right foot.
14.15 And the priest shall take of the cup of oil, and shall pour it upon his own left hand.
14.16 And he shall dip with the finger of his right hand
[into] some of the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle
with his finger seven times before the Lord.
14.17 And the remaining oil that is in his hand, the priest
shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is under cleansing,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right
foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.
14.18 And the remaining oil that is on the hand of the
priest, the priest shall put on the head of the cleansed [leper], and
the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.
14.19 And the priest shall sacrifice the sin-offering, and
the priest shall make atonement for the person under purification [to
cleanse him] from his sin, and afterwards the priest shall slay the
whole-burnt-offering.
14.20 And the priest shall offer the whole-burnt-offering,
and the sacrifice upon the altar before the Lord; and the priest shall
make atonement for him, and he shall be cleansed.
14.21 And if he should be poor, and cannot afford so much,
he shall take one lamb for his transgression for a separate-offering,
so as to make propitiation for him, and a tenth deal of fine flour
mingled with oil for a sacrifice, and one cup of oil,
14.22 and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, as he can
afford; and the one shall be for a sin-offering, and the other for a
whole-burnt-offering.
14.23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day, to purify
him, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the
Lord.
14.24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the
trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and place them for a
set-offering before the Lord.
14.25 And he shall slay the lamb of the trespass-offering;
and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and
put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right
foot.
14.26 And the priest shall pour of the oil on his own left hand.
14.27 And the priest shall sprinkle with the finger of his
right hand some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before
the Lord.
14.28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is on his
hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification, and
on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot,
on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.
14.29 And that which is left of the oil which is on the
hand of the priest he shall put on the head of him that is purged, and
the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.
14.30 And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves or of the young pigeons, as he can afford it,
14.31 the one for a sin-offering, the other for a
whole-burnt-offering with the meat-offering, and the priest shall make
an atonement before the Lord for him that is under purification.
14.32 This is the law for him in whom is the plague of
leprosy, and who cannot afford the offerings for his purification.
14.33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
14.34 Whensoever ye shall enter into the land of the
Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the
plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;
14.35 then the owner of the house shall come and report to
the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.
14.36 And the priest shall give orders to remove the
furniture of the house, before te priest comes in to see the plague,
and [thus] none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and
afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the house.
14.37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if]
the plague is in the walls of the house, [he will see] greenish or
reddish cavities, and the appearance of them [will be] beneath the
surface of the walls.
14.38 And the priest shall come out of the house to the
door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.
14.39 And the priest shall return on the seventh day and
view the house; and, behold, [if] the plague is spread in the walls of
the house,
14.40 then the priest shall give orders, and they shall
take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of
the city into an unclean place.
14.41 And they shall scrape the house within round about,
and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an
unclean place.
14.42 And they shall take other scraped stones, and put
them in the place of the [former] stones, and they shall take other
plaster and plaster the house.
14.43 And if the plague should return again, and break out
in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house
is scraped, and after it has been plastered,
14.44 then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is
spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is
unclean.
14.45 And they shall take down the house, and its timbers
and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the
city into an unclean place.
14.46 And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.
14.47 And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his
garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house
shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.
14.48 and if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and
behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has
been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because
the plague is healed.
14.49 And he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.
14.50 And he shall slay one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.
14.51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun
scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the
blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall
sprinkle the house seven times.
14.52 and he shall purify the house with the blood of the
bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with
the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the spun scarlet.
14.53 And he shall let the living bird go out of the city
into the field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be
clean.
14.54 This [is] the law concerning every plague of leprosy and scurf,
14.55 and of the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
14.56 and of a sore, and of a clear spot, and of a shining one,
14.57 and of declaring in what day it is unclean, and in
what day it shall be purged: this [is] the law of the leprosy.
15.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
15.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, Whatever man shall have an issue out of his body, his
issue is unclean.
15.3 And this [is] the law of his uncleanness;
whoever has a gonorrhea out of his body, this is his uncleanness in him
by reason of the issue, by which, his body is affected through the
issue: all the days of the issue of his body, by which his body is
affected through the issue, there is his uncleanness.
15.4 Every bed on which he that has the issue shall
happen to lie, is unclean; and every seat on which he that has the
issue may happen to sit, shall be unclean.
15.5 And the man who shall touch his bed, shall wash
his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till
evening.
15.6 And whosoever sits on the seat on which he that
has the issue may have sat, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself
in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
15.7 And he that touches the skin of him that has the
issue, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and shall be
unclean till evening.
15.8 And if he that has the issue should spit upon
one that is clean, [that person] shall wash his garments, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
15.9 And every ass's saddle, on which the man with
the issue shall have mounted, shall be unclean till evening.
15.10 And every one that touches whatsoever shall have been
under him shall be unclean until evening; and he that takes them up
shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be
unclean until evening.
15.11 And whomsoever he that has the issue shall touch, if
he have not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his garments, and
bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
15.12 And the earthen vessel which he that has the issue
shall happen to touch, shall be broken; and a wooden vessel shall be
washed with water, and shall be clean.
15.13 and if he that has the issue should be cleansed of
his issue, then shall he number to himself seven days for his
purification; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in
water, and shall be clean.
15.14 And on the eighth day he shall take to himself two
turtle-doves or two young pigeons, and he shall bring them before the
Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall give them to
the priest.
15.15 And the priest shall offer them one for a
sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering; and the priest
shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.
15.16 And the man whose seed of copulation shall happen to
go forth from him, shall then wash his whole body, and shall be unclean
until evening.
15.17 And every garment, and every skin on which there
shall be the seed of copulation shall both be washed with water, and be
unclean until evening.
15.18 And a woman, if a man shall lie with her with seed of
copulation-- they shall both bathe themselves in water and shall be
unclean until evening.
15.19 And the woman whosoever shall have an issue of blood,
when her issue shall be in her body, shall be seven days in her
separation; every one that touches her shall be unclean until evening.
15.20 And every thing whereon she shall lie in her
separation, shall be unclean; and whatever she shall sit upon, shall be
unclean.
15.21 And whosoever shall touch her bed shall wash his
garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until
evening.
15.22 and every one that touches any vessel on which she
shall sit, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and
shall be unclean until evening.
15.23 And whether it be while she is on her bed, or on a
seat which she may happen to sit upon when he touches her, he shall be
unclean till evening.
15.24 And if any one shall lie with her, and her
uncleanness be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed
on which he shall have lain shall be unclean.
15.25 And if a woman have an issue of blood many days, not
in the time of her separation; if the blood should also flow after her
separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness [shall be] as
the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
15.26 And every bed on which she shall lie all the days of
her flux shall be to her as the bed of her separation, and every seat
whereon she shall sit shall be unclean according to the uncleanness of
her separation.
15.27 Every one that touches it shall be unclean; and he
shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be
unclean till evening.
15.28 But if she shall be cleansed from her flux, then she
shall number to herself seven days, and afterwards she shall be
esteemed clean.
15.29 And on the eighth day she shall take two
turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest,
to the door of the tabernacle of witness.
15.30 And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering,
and the other for a whole-burnt-offering, and the priest shall make
atonement for her before the Lord for her unclean flux.
15.31 And ye shall cause the children of Israel to beware
of their uncleanness; so they shall not die for their uncleanness, in
polluting my tabernacle that is among them.
15.32 This is the law of the man who has an issue, and if
one discharge seed of copulation, so that he should be polluted by it.
15.33 And [this is the law] for her that has the issue of
blood in her separation, and as to the person who has an issue of seed,
in his issue: [it is a law] for the male and the female, and for the
man who shall have lain with her that is set apart.
16.1
and the Lord spoke to Moses after the two sons of Aaron died in
bringing strange fire before the Lord, so they died.
16.2 And the Lord said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy
brother, and let him not come in at all times into the holy place
within the veil before the propitiatory, which is upon the ark of the
testimony, and he shall not die; for I will appear in a cloud on the
propitiatory.
16.3 Thus shall Aaron enter into the holy place; with
a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and [having] a ram for a
whole-burnt-offering.
16.4 And he shall put on the consecrated linen tunic,
and he shall have on his flesh the linen drawers, and shall gird
himself with a linen girdle, and shall put on the linen cap, they are
holy garments; and he shall bathe all his body in water, and shall put
them on.
16.5 And he shall take of the congregation of the
children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one
lamb for a whole-burnt-offering.
16.6 And Aaron shall bring the calf for his own
sin-offering, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house.
16.7 And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the Lord by the door of the tabernacle of witness.
16.8 and Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for the Lord, and the other for the scape-goat.
16.9 And Aaron shall bring forward the goat on which
the lot for the Lord fell, and shall offer him for a sin-offering.
16.10 and the goat upon which the lot of the scape-goat
came, he shall present alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon
him, so as to send him away as a scape-goat, and he shall send him into
the wilderness.
16.11 And Aaron shall bring the calf for his sin, and he
shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and he shall kill
the calf for his sin-offering.
16.12 And he shall take his censer full of coals of fire
off the altar, which is before the Lord; and he shall fill his hands
with fine compound incense, and shall bring it within the veil.
16.13 And he shall put the incense on the fire before the
Lord, and the smoke of the incense shall cover the mercy-seat over the
tables of testimony, and he shall not die.
16.14 And he shall take of the blood of the calf, and
sprinkle with his finger on the mercy-seat eastward: before the
mercy-seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.
16.15 and he shall kill the goat for the sin-offering that
is for the people, before the Lord; and he shall bring in of its blood
within the veil, and shall do with its blood as he did with the blood
of the calf, and shall sprinkle its blood on the mercy-seat, in front
of the mercy-seat.
16.16 and he shall make atonement for the sanctuary on
account of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and for their
trespasses in the matter of all their sins; and thus shall he do to the
tabernacle of witness established among them in the midst of their
uncleanness.
16.17 and there shall be no man in the tabernacle of
witness, when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, until he
shall have come out; and he shall make atonement for himself, and for
his house, and for all the congregation of the children of Israel.
16.18 And he shall come forth to the altar that is before
the Lord, and he shall make atonement upon it; and he shall take of the
blood of the calf, and of the blood of the goat, and shall put it on
the horns of the altar round about.
16.19 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood upon it seven
times with his finger, and shall purge it, and hallow it from the
uncleanness of the children of Israel.
16.20 And he shall finish making atonement for the
sanctuary and for the tabernacle of witness, and for the altar; and he
shall make a cleansing for the priests, and he shall bring the living
goat;
16.21 and Aaron shall lay his hands on the head of the live
goat, and he shall declare over him all the iniquities of the children
of Israel, and all their unrighteousness, and all their sins; and he
shall lay them upon the head of the live goat, and shall send him by
the hand of a ready man into the wilderness.
16.22 And the goat shall bear their unrighteousnesses upon
him into a desert land; and Aaron shall send away the goat into the
wilderness.
16.23 And Aaron shall enter into the tabernacle of witness,
and shall put off the linen garment, which he had put on, as he entered
into the holy place, and shall lay it by there.
16.24 And he shall bathe his body in water in the holy
place, and shall put on his raiment, and shall go out and offer the
whole-burnt-offering for himself and the whole-burnt-offering for the
people: and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and for
the people, as for the priests.
16.25 And he shall offer the fat for the sin-offering on the altar.
16.26 And he that sends forth the goat that has been set
apart to be let go, shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in
water, and afterwards shall enter into the camp.
16.27 And the calf for the sin-offering, and the goat for
the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the
holy place, they shall carry forth out of the camp, and burn them with
fire, even their skins and their flesh and their dung.
16.28 And he that burns them shall wash his garments, and
bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall enter into the camp.
16.29 And this shall be a perpetual statute for you; in the
seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall humble your
souls, and shall do no work, the native and the stranger who abides
among you.
16.30 For in this day he shall make an atonement for you,
to cleanse you from all your sins before the Lord, ad ye shall be
purged.
16.31 This shall be to you a most holy sabbath, a rest, and ye shall humble your souls; it is a perpetual ordinance.
16.32 The priest whomsoever they shall anoint shall make
atonement, and whomsoever they shall consecrate to exercise the
priestly office after his father; and he shall put on the linen robe,
the holy garment.
16.33 And he shall make atonement for the most holy place,
and the tabernacle of witness; and he shall make atonement for the
altar, and for the priests; and he shall make atonement for all the
congregation.
16.34 And this shall be to you a perpetual statute to make
atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins: it shall be
done once in the year, as the Lord commanded Moses.
17.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17.2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the
children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, This is the word which
the Lord has commanded, saying,
17.3 Every man of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers abiding among you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a
goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,
17.4 and shall not bring it to the door of the
tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole-burnt-offering
or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet-smelling
savour: and whosoever shall slay it without, and shall not bring it to
the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to
the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to
that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.
17.5 That the children of Israel may offer their
sacrifices, all that they shall slay in the fields, and bring them to
the Lord unto the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and
they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.
17.6 And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar
round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness,
and shall offer the fat for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
17.7 And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices
to vain [gods] after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual
statute to you for your generations.
17.8 And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man of the
children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes abiding among you,
shall offer a whole-burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
17.9 and shall not bring it to the door of the
tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be
destroyed from among his people.
17.10 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers abiding among you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my
face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its
people.
17.11 For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given
it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood
shall make atonement for the soul.
17.12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul
of you shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides among you shall
not eat blood.
17.13 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers abiding among you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or
bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in
the dust.
17.14 For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to
the children of Israel, Ye shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for
the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be
destroyed.
17.15 And every soul which eats that which has died of
itself, or is taken of beasts, either among the natives or among the
strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and
shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.
17.16 But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.
18.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.
18.3 Ye shall not do according to the devices of
Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of
Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk
in their ordinances.
18.4 Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my
ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
18.5 So ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my
judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I
[am] the Lord your God.
18.6 No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
18.7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
father, or the nakedness of thy mother, for she is thy mother; thou
shalt not uncover her nakedness.
18.8 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife; it is thy father's nakedness.
18.9 The nakedness of thy sister by thy father or by
thy mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness thou shalt not
uncover.
18.10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy
daughter's daughter, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; because it
is thy nakedness.
18.11 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the daughter
of thy father's wife; she is thy sister by the same father: thou shalt
not uncover her nakedness.
18.12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister, for she is near akin to thy father.
18.13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, for she is near akin to thy mother.
18.14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's
brother, and thou shalt not go in to his wife; for she is thy relation.
18.15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
daughter-in-law, for she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her
nakedness.
18.16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
18.17 The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou
not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shalt
thou not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are thy kinswomen:
it is impiety.
18.18 Thou shalt not take a wife in addition to her sister,
as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is
yet living.
18.19 And thou shalt not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.
18.20 And thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
18.21 And thou shalt not give of thy seed to serve a ruler;
and thou shalt not profane my holy name; I [am] the Lord.
18.22 And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
18.23 Neither shalt thou lie with any quadruped for
copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present
herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an
abomination.
18.24 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things;
for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out
before you,
18.25 and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed
their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with
them that dwell upon it.
18.26 And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my
ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the
native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
18.27 (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)
18.28 and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
18.29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the
souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
18.30 And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do
any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your
time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your
God.
19.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
19.2 Speak to the congregation of the children of
Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord
your God [am] holy.
19.3 Let every one of you reverence his father and
his mother; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
19.4 Ye shall not follow idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
19.5 And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.
19.6 In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it
shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be
left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.
19.7 And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.
19.8 And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity,
because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that
eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.
19.9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, ye
shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and thou
shalt not gather that which falls from thy reaping.
19.10 And thou shalt not go over the gathering of thy
vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the remaining grapes of thy
vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the
Lord your God.
19.11 Ye shall not steal, ye shall not lie, neither shall
one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.
19.12 And ye shall not swear unjustly by my name, and ye
shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.
19.13 Thou shalt not injure thy neighbour, neither do thou
rob [him], neither shall the wages of thy hireling remain with thee
until the morning.
19.14 Thou shalt not revile the deaf, neither shalt thou
put a stumbling-block in the way of the blind; and thou shalt fear the
Lord thy God: I am the Lord your God.
19.15 Thou shalt not act unjustly in judgment: thou shalt
not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty;
with justice shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
19.16 Thou shalt not walk deceitfully among thy people;
thou shalt not rise up against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the
Lord your God.
19.17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou
shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, so thou shalt not bear sin on
his account.
19.18 And thy hand shall not avenge thee; and thou shalt
not be angry with the children of thy people; and thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself; I am the Lord
19.19 Ye shall observe my law: thou shalt not let thy
cattle gender with one of a different kind, and thou shalt not sow thy
vineyard with diverse seed; and thou shalt not put upon thyself a
mingled garment woven of two [materials].
19.20 And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she
should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed,
[and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited
[with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at
liberty.
19.21 And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to
the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.
19.22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the
ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he
sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.
19.23 And whenever ye shall enter into the land which the
Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit-tree, then shall ye
purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed
to you, it shall not be eaten.
19.24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.
19.25 And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
19.26 Eat not on the mountains, nor shall ye employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
19.27 Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
19.28 And ye shall not make cuttings in your body for a
[dead] body, and ye shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am
the Lord your God.
19.29 Thou shalt not profane thy daughter to prostitute
her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with
iniquity.
19.30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
19.31 Ye shall not attend to those who have in them
divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute
yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.
19.32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour
the face of the old an, and shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord your God.
19.33 And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, ye shall not afflict him.
19.34 The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as
the native, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers
in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
19.35 Ye shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.
19.36 There shall be among you just balances and just
weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought
you out of the land of Egypt.
19.37 And ye shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and ye shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
20.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
20.2 Thou shalt also say to the children of Israel,
If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have
become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let
him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him
with stones.
20.3 And I will set my face against that man, and
will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to
Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are
consecrated to me.
20.4 And if the natives of the land should in anywise
overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him
to death;
20.5 then will I set my face against that man and his
family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with
him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
20.6 And the soul that shall follow those who have in
them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them;
I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among
its people.
20.7 And ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
20.8 And ye shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.
20.9 Every man who shall speak evil of his father or
of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father
or his mother? he shall be guilty.
20.10 Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a
man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour,
let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
20.11 And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he
has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they
are guilty.
20.12 And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law,
let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are
guilty.
20.13 And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman,
they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are
guilty.
20.14 Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is
iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be
iniquity among you.
20.15 And whosoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and ye shall kill the beast.
20.16 And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to
have connexion with it, ye shall kill the woman and the beast: let them
die the death, they are guilty.
20.17 Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by
his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it
is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their
family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their
sin.
20.18 And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set
apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered
her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall
both be destroyed from among their generation.
20.19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
father's sister, or of the sister of thy mother; for that man has
uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their
iniquity.
20.20 Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has
uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die
childless.
20.21 Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is
uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die
childless.
20.22 And keep ye all my ordinances, and my judgments; and
ye shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into
which I bring you to dwell upon it.
20.23 And walk ye not in the customs of the nations which I
drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I
have abhorred them:
20.24 and I said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I
will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk
and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all
people.
20.25 And ye shall make a distinction between the clean and
the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and ye shall
not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping
things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of
uncleanness.
20.26 And ye shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your
God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
20.27 And [as for] a man or woman whosoever of them shall
have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die
the death: ye shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
21.1
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of
Aaron, and thou shalt tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves
in their nation for the dead, 21.2
but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a
father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother, 21.3
and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a
man; for these one shall defile himself. 21.4 He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself. 21.5
And ye shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the
top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make
gashes on their flesh. 21.6
They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of
their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of
their God, and they shall be holy. 21.7
They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman
put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God. 21.8
And thou shalt hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he
shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy. 21.9
And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she
profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire. 21.10
And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been
poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been
consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his
head, and shall not rend his garments: 21.11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother. 21.12
And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not
profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God
[is] upon him: I [am] the Lord. 21.13 He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe. 21.14
But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these
he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own
people. 21.15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him. 21.16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 21.17
Say to Aaron, A man of thy tribe throughout your generations, who shall
have a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of his
God. 21.18 No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut, 21.19 a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot, 21.20
or hump-backed, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a
man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a
testicle. 21.21
Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not
draw nigh to offer sacrifices to thy God, because he has a blemish on
him; he shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of God. 21.22 The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things. 21.23
Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw nigh to the
altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary
of his God, or I am the Lord that sanctifies them. 21.24 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
22.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22.2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them
take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they
shall not profane my holy name in any of the things which they
consecrate to me: I [am] the Lord.
22.3 Say to them, Every man throughout your
generations, whoever of all your seed shall approach to the holy
things, whatsoever the children of Israel shall consecrate to the Lord,
while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from me:
I [am] the Lord your God.
22.4 And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if
he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy
things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a
dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from
him,
22.5 or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile,
which will defile him, or [who shall touch] a man, whereby he shall
defile him according to all his uncleanness:
22.6 whatsoever soul shall touch them shall be
unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he
bathe his body in water,
22.7 and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean;
and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.
22.8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or
is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I [am] the
Lord.
22.9 And they shall keep my ordinances, that they do
not bear iniquity because of them, and die because of them, if they
shall profane them: I [am] the Lord God that sanctifies them.
22.10 And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that
sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things.
22.11 But if a priest should have a soul purchased for
money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house,
they also shall eat of his bread.
22.12 And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of te offerings of the sanctuary.
22.13 And if the daughter of priest should be a widow, or
put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father's house, as
in her youth: she shall eat of her father's bread, but no stranger
shall eat of it.
22.14 And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things,
shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.
22.15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.
22.16 So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of
trespass in their eating their holy things: for I [am] the Lord that
sanctifies them.
22.17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22.18 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the
congregation of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Any man of the
children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in
Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and
according to all their choice, whatsoever they may bring to the Lord
for whole-burnt-offerings--
22.19 your free-will-offerings [shall] be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
22.20 They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
22.21 And whatsoever man shall offer a peace-offering to
the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free-will-offering, or an
offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be
without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.
22.22 One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut
out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters,
they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall ye offer any of
them for a burnt-offering on the altar of the Lord.
22.23 And a calf or a sheep with the ears cut off, or that
has lost its tail, thou shalt slay them for thyself; but they shall not
be accepted for thy vow.
22.24 That which has broken testicles, or is crushed or
gelt or mutilated,-- thou shalt not offer them to the Lord, neither
shall ye sacrifice them upon your land.
22.25 Neither shall ye offer the gifts of your God of all
these things by the hand of a stranger, because there is corruption in
them, a blemish in them: these shall not be accepted for you.
22.26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22.27 As for a calf, or a sheep, or a goat, whenever it is
born, then shall it be seven days under its mother; and on the eighth
day and after they shall be accepted for sacrifices, a burnt-offering
to the Lord.
22.28 And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, thou shalt not kill in one day.
22.29 And if thou shouldest offer a sacrifice, a vow of
rejoicing to the Lord, ye shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.
22.30 In that same day it shall be eaten; ye shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.
22.31 And ye shall keep my commandments and do them.
22.32 And ye shall not profane the name of the Holy One,
and I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I [am]
the Lord that sanctifies you,
22.33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord.
23.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say unto them, The feasts of the Lord which ye shall call holy
assemblies, these are my feasts.
23.3 Six days shalt thou do works, but on the seventh
day is the sabbath; a rest, a holy convocation to the Lord: thou shalt
not do any work, it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.
23.4 These [are] the feasts to the Lord, holy convocations, which ye shall call in their seasons.
23.5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evening times is the Lord's passover.
23.6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the
feast of unleavened bread to the Lord; seven days shall ye eat
unleavened bread.
23.7 And the first day shall be a holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work.
23.8 And ye shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the
Lord seven days; and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to
you: ye shall do no servile wok.
23.9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23.10 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them, When ye shall enter into the land which I give you, and reap
the harvest of it, then shall ye bring a sheaf, the first-fruits of
your harvest, to the priest;
23.11 and he shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, to be
accepted for you. On the morrow of the first day the priest shall lift
it up.
23.12 And ye shall offer on the day on which ye bring the
sheaf, a lamb without blemish of a year old for a whole-burnt-offering
to the Lord.
23.13 And its meat-offering two tenth portions of fine
flour mingled with oil: it is a sacrifice to the Lord, a smell of sweet
savour to the Lord, and its drink-offering the fourth part of a hin of
wine.
23.14 And ye shall not eat bread, or the new parched corn,
until this same day, until ye offer the sacrifices to your God: [it is]
a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23.15 And ye shall number to yourselves from the day after
the sabbath, from the day on which ye shall offer the sheaf of the
heave-offering, seven full weeks:
23.16 until the morrow after the last week ye shall number
fifty days, and shall bring a new meat-offering to the Lord.
23.17 Ye shall bring from your dwelling loaves, as a
heave-offering, two loaves: they shall be of two tenth portions of fine
flour, they shall be baked with leaven of the first-fruits to the Lord.
23.18 And ye shall bring with the loaves seven unblemished
lambs of a year old, and one calf of the herd, and two rams without
blemish, and they shall be a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord: and
their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings [shall be] a sacrifice,
a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
23.19 And they shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a
sin-offering, and two lambs of a year old for a peace-offering, with
the loaves of the first-fruits.
23.20 And the priest shall place them with the loaves of
the first-fruits an offering before the Lord with the two lambs, they
shall be holy to the Lord they shall belong to the priest that brings
them.
23.21 And ye shall call this day a convocation: it shall be
holy to you; ye shall do no servile work on it: it is a perpetual
ordinance throughout your generations in all your habitations.
23.22 And when ye shall reap the harvest of your land, ye
shall not fully reap the remainder of the harvest of your field when
thou reapest, and thou shalt not gather that which falls from thy
reaping; thou shalt leave it for the poor and the stranger: I [am] the
Lord your God.
23.23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23.24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the
seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a rest, a
memorial of trumpets: it shall be to you a holy convocation.
23.25 Ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall offer a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.
23.26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23.27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month is a day
of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you; and ye shall
humble your souls, and offer a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.
23.28 Ye shall do no work on this self-same day: for this
is a day of atonement for you, to make atonement for you before the
Lord your God.
23.29 Every soul that shall not be humbled in that day, shall be cut off from among its people.
23.30 And every soul which shall do work on that day, that soul shall be destroyed from among its people.
23.31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your habitations.
23.32 It shall be a holy sabbath to you; and ye shall
humble your souls, from the ninth day of the month: from evening to
evening ye shall keep your sabbaths.
23.33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23.34 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the
fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be a feast of
tabernacles seven days to the Lord.
23.35 And on the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
23.36 Seven days shall ye offer whole-burnt-offerings to
the Lord, and the eighth-day shall be a holy convocation to you; and ye
shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord: it is a time of release,
ye shall do no servile work.
23.37 These [are] the feasts to the Lord, which ye shall
call holy convocations, to offer burnt-offerings to the Lord,
whole-burnt-offerings and their meat-offerings, and their
drink-offerings, that for each day on its day:
23.38 besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your
gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides your free-will-offerings,
which ye shall give to the Lord.
23.39 And on the fifteenth day of this seventh month, when
ye shall have completely gathered in the fruits of the earth, ye shall
keep a feast to the Lord seven days; on the first day there shall be a
rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
23.40 And on the first day ye shall take goodly fruit of
trees, and branches of palm trees, and thick boughs of trees, and
willows, and branches of osiers from the brook, to rejoice before the
Lord your God seven days in the year.
23.41 [It is] a perpetual statute for your generations: in the seventh month ye shall keep it.
23.42 Seven days ye shall dwell in tabernacles: every native in Israel shall dwell in tents,
23.43 that your posterity may see, that I made the children
of Israel to dwell in tents, when I brought them out of the land of
Egypt: I [am] the Lord your God.
23.44 And Moses recounted the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.
24.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24.2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them take
for thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp
continually,
24.3 outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness;
and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before
the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
24.4 Ye shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
24.5 And ye shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
24.6 And ye shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
24.7 And ye shall put on [each] row pure frankincense
and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set
forth before the Lord.
24.8 On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth
before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an
everlasting covenant.
24.9 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and
they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy
portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
24.10 And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman,
and he was son of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel; and they
fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was
an Israelite.
24.11 And the son of the Israelitish woman named THE NAME
and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother's name was
Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of Dan.
24.12 And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
24.13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24.14 Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all
who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation
shall stone him.
24.15 And speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
24.16 And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die
the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones;
whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name
of the Lord.
24.17 And whosoever shall smite a man and he die, let him die the death.
24.18 And whosoever shall smite a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
24.19 And whosoever shall inflict a blemish on his
neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in
return;
24.20 bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as
any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
24.21 Whosoever shall smite a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
24.22 There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.
24.23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they
brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with
stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
25.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying,
25.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, Whensoever ye shall have entered into the land, which I
give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its
sabbaths to the Lord.
25.3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shall prune thy vine, and gather in its fruit.
25.4 But in the seventh year [shall be] a sabbath, it
shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: thou shalt not sow
thy field, and thou shalt not prune thy vine.
25.5 And thou shalt not gather the spontaneous
produce of thy field, and thou shalt not gather fully the grapes of thy
dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.
25.6 And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for
thee, and for thy man-servant, and for thy maid-servant, and thy
hireling, and the stranger that abides with thee.
25.7 And for thy cattle, and for the wild beats that are in thy land, shall every fruit of it be for food.
25.8 And thou shalt reckon to thyself seven sabbaths
of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to thee seven
weeks of years, nine and forty years.
25.9 In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the
month, ye shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all
your land; on the day of atonement ye shall make a proclamation with a
trumpet in all your land.
25.10 And ye shall sanctify the year, the fiftieth year,
and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it;
it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one
shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go each to his family.
25.11 This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to
you the fiftieth year: ye shall not sow, nor reap the produce that
comes of itself from the land, neither shall ye gather it dedicated
fruits.
25.12 For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, ye shall eat its fruits off the fields.
25.13 In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession.
25.14 And if thou shouldest sell a possession to thy
neighbour, or if thou shouldest buy of thy neighbour, let not a man
oppress his neighbour.
25.15 According to the number of years after the jubilee
shalt thou buy of thy neighbour, according to the number of years of
the fruits shall he sell to thee.
25.16 According as [there may be] a greater number of years
he shall increase [the value of] his possession, and according as
[there may be] a less number of years he shall lessen [the value of]
his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he
sell to thee.
25.17 Let not a man oppress his neighbour, and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord thy God.
25.18 And ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my
judgments; and do ye observe them, and ye shall keep them, and dwell
securely in the land.
25.19 And the land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.
25.20 And if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?
25.21 Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth
year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.
25.22 And ye shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old
fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, ye shall eat old
fruits of the old.
25.23 And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for
the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.
25.24 And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.
25.25 And if thy brother who is with thee be poor, and
should have sold [part] of his possession, and his kinsman who is nigh
to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has
sold.
25.26 And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with
his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom;
25.27 then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he
shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall
return to his possession.
25.28 But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so
as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the
possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it
shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his
possession.
25.29 And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a
walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until [the time] is
fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.
25.30 And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of
its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be
surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and
it shall not go out in the release.
25.31 But the houses in the villages which have not a wall
round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they
shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.
25.32 And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the
cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.
25.33 And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites,
then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the
release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their
possession in the midst of the children of Israel.
25.34 And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.
25.35 And if thy brother who is with thee become poor, and
he fail in resources with thee, thou shalt help him as a stranger and a
sojourner, and thy brother shall live with thee.
25.36 Thou shalt not receive from him interest, nor
increase: and thou shalt fear thy God: I [am] the Lord: and thy brother
shall live with thee.
25.37 Thou shalt not lend thy money to him at interest, and
thou shalt not lend thy meat to him to be returned with increase.
25.38 I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out o the
land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as to be your God.
25.39 And if thy brother by thee be lowered, and be sold to
thee, he shall not serve thee with the servitude of a slave.
25.40 He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:
25.41 and he shall go out in the release, and his children
with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his
patrimony.
25.42 Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of
the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a [common] servant.
25.43 Thou shalt not oppress him with labour, and shalt fear the Lord thy God.
25.44 And whatever number of men-servants and maid-servants
thou shalt have, thou shalt purchase male and female servants from the
nations that are round about thee.
25.45 And of the sons of the sojourners that are among you,
of these ye shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your
lands; let them be to you for a possession.
25.46 And ye shall distribute them to your children after
you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of
your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother
in labours.
25.47 And if a stranger or sojourner with thee wax rich,
and thy brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner
that is with thee, or to a proselyte by extraction;
25.48 after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.
25.49 A brother of his father, or a son of his father's
brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe
redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,
25.50 then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the
year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the
money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with
him from year to year.
25.51 And if any have a greater number of years [than
enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his
purchase-money.
25.52 And if but a little time be left of the years to the
year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years,
and shall pay his ransom
25.53 as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; thou shalt not oppress him with labour before thee.
25.54 And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall
go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.
25.55 For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
26.1
I [am] the Lord your God: ye shall not make to yourselves gods made
with hands, or graven; neither shall ye rear up a pillar for
yourselves, neither shall ye set up a stone [for] an object in your
land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.
26.2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
26.3 If ye will walk in my ordinances, and keep my commandments, and do them,
26.4 then will I give you the rain in its season, and
the land shall produce its fruits, and the trees of the field shall
yield their fruit.
26.5 And your threshing time shall overtake the
vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seed time; and ye shall
eat your bread to the full; and ye shall dwell safely upon your land,
and war shall not go through your land.
26.6 And I will give peace in your land, and ye shall
sleep, and none [shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil
beasts out of your land,
26.7 and ye shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter.
26.8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a
hundred of you shall chase tens of thousands; and your enemies shall
fall before you by the sword.
26.9 And I will look upon you, and increase you, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
26.10 And ye shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for the new.
26.11 And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you;
26.12 and I will walk among you, and be your God, and ye shall be my people.
26.13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out o the
land of Egypt, where ye were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke,
and brought you forth openly.
26.14 But if ye will not hearken to me, nor obey these my ordinances,
26.15 but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my
judgments, so that ye should not keep all my commands, so as to break
my covenant,
26.16 then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon
you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to
waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and ye shall sow
your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.
26.17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fall
before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and ye
shall flee, no one pursuing you.
26.18 And if ye still refuse to hearken to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times for your sins.
26.19 And I will break down the haughtiness of your pride;
and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth as it were brass.
26.20 And your strength shall be in vain; and your land
shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield
its fruit.
26.21 And if after this ye should walk perversely, and not
be willing to obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues
according to your sins.
26.22 And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land,
and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will
make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate.
26.23 And if hereupon ye are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me,
26.24 I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will smite you seven times for your sins.
26.25 And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause
of [my] covenant, and ye shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I
will send out death against you, and ye shall be delivered into the
hands of your enemies.
26.26 When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten
women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your
loaves by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26.27 And if hereupon ye ill not obey me, but walk perversely towards me,
26.28 then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you seven-fold according to your sins.
26.29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
26.30 And I will render your pillars desolate, and will
utterly destroy your wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay
your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe
you.
26.31 And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make
your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savour of your
sacrifices.
26.32 And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder at it.
26.33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and the
sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be
desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.
26.34 Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation.
26.35 And ye shall be in the land of your enemies; then the
land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all
the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not
among your sabbaths, when ye dwelt in it.
26.36 And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage
into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war,
and shall fall when none pursues them.
26.37 And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when
none pursues; and ye shall not be able to withstand your enemies.
26.38 And ye shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you.
26.39 And those who are left of you shall perish, because
of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of
their enemies shall they consume away.
26.40 And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of
their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that
they have walked perversely before me,
26.41 and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I
will destroy them in the land of heir enemies: then shall their
uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the
punishment of] their sins.
26.42 And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the
covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraam will I remember.
26.43 And I will remember the land, and the land shall be
left of them; then the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is
deserted through them: and they shall accept [the punishment of] their
iniquities, because they neglected my judgments, and in their soul
loathed my ordinances.
26.44 And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of
their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to
consume them, to break my covenant made with them; for I am the Lord
their God.
26.45 And I will remember their former covenant, when I
brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage
before the nation, to be their God; I am the Lord.
26.46 These are my judgments and my ordinances, and the law
which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the
mount Sina, by the hand of Moses.
27.1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
27.2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt
say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for
the Lord,
27.3 the valuation of a male from twenty years old to
sixty years old shall be-- his valuation shall be fifty didrachmas of
silver by the standard of the sanctuary.
27.4 And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachmas.
27.5 And if it be from five years old to twenty, the
valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachmas, and of a female ten
didrachmas.
27.6 And from a month old to five years old, the
valuation of a male shall be five didrachmas, and of a female, three
didrachmas of silver.
27.7 And if from sixty year [old] and upward, if it
be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachmas of silver, and if
a female, ten didrachmas.
27.8 And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he
shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him:
according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall
value him.
27.9 And if it be from the cattle that are offered as
a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it
shall be holy.
27.10 He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad
for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and
the substitute shall be holy.
27.11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are
offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.
27.12 And the priest shall make a valuation between the
good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so
shall it stand.
27.13 And if [the worshipper] will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.
27.14 And whatsoever man shall consecrate his house as holy
to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good
and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
27.15 And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his
house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation,
and it shall be his.
27.16 And if a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the
field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its
seed, fifty didrachmas of silver for a homer of barley.
27.17 And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.
27.18 And if he should sanctify his field in the latter
time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for
the remaining years, until the [next] year of release, and it shall be
deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.
27.19 And if he that sanctified the field would redeem it,
he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be
his.
27.20 And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.
27.21 But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the
release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.
27.22 And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field
which he has bought, which s not of the field of his possession,
27.23 the priest shall reckon to him the full valuation
from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day
[as] holy to the Lord.
27.24 And in the year of release the land shall be restored
to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the
land was.
27.25 And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.
27.26 And every first-born which shall be produced among
thy cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether
calf or sheep, it is the Lord's.
27.27 But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according
to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall
be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its
valuation.
27.28 And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate
to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field
of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted
thing shall be most holy to the Lord.
27.29 And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.
27.30 Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the
land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.
27.31 And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.
27.32 And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever
may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the
Lord.
27.33 Thou shalt not change a good for a bad, or a bad for
a good; and if thou shouldest at all change it, its equivalent also
shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.
27.34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.
