The Third Book of Moses, commonly called Leviticus

   {1:1} And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the
tent of meeting, saying, {1:2} Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto Jehovah,
ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, [even] of the herd and of
the flock.

   {1:3} If his oblation be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall
offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the
tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Jehovah. {1:4} And he
shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be
accepted for him to make atonement for him. {1:5} And he shall kill the
bullock before Jehovah: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present
the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at
the door of the tent of meeting. {1:6} And he shall flay the
burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces. {1:7} And the sons of Aaron
the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon
the fire; {1:8} and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces,
the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which
is upon the altar: {1:9} but its inwards and its legs shall he wash
with water: and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a
burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

   {1:10} And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the
goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.
{1:11} And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before
Jehovah: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon
the altar round about. {1:12} And he shall cut it into its pieces, with
its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the
wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: {1:13} but the
inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall
offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

   {1:14} And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds,
then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.
{1:15} And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its
head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained
out on the side of the altar; {1:16} and he shall take away its crop
with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part,
in the place of the ashes: {1:17} and he shall rend it by the wings
thereof, [but] shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn
it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a
burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.



   {2:1} And when any one offereth an oblation of a meal-offering unto
Jehovah, his oblation shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil
upon it, and put frankincense thereon: {2:2} and he shall bring it to
Aaron's sons the priests; and he shall take thereout his handful of the
fine flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense
thereof; and the priest shall burn [it as] the memorial thereof upon
the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah:
{2:3} and that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron's and
his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Jehovah made by
fire.

   {2:4} And when thou offerest an oblation of a meal-offering baken in
the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. {2:5} And if thy oblation be a
meal-offering of the baking-pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened,
mingled with oil. {2:6} Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil
thereon: it is a meal-offering. {2:7} And if thy oblation be a
meal-offering of the frying-pan, it shall be made of fine flour with
oil. {2:8} And thou shalt bring the meal-offering that is made of these
things unto Jehovah: and it shall be presented unto the priest, and he
shall bring it unto the altar. {2:9} And the priest shall take up from
the meal-offering the memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the
altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. {2:10}
And that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron's and his
sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire.

   {2:11} No meal-offering, which ye shall offer unto Jehovah, shall be
made with leaven; for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, as an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah. {2:12} As an oblation of
first-[fruits] ye shall offer them unto Jehovah: but they shall not
come up for a sweet savor on the altar. {2:13} And every oblation of
thy meal-offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou
suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy
meal-offering: with all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt.

   {2:14} And if thou offer a meal-offering of first-fruits unto
Jehovah, thou shalt offer for the meal-offering of thy first-fruits
grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear.
{2:15} And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it
is a meal-offering. {2:16} And the priest shall burn the memorial of
it, part of the bruised grain thereof, and part of the oil thereof,
with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah.



   {3:1} And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace-offerings; if he
offer of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without
blemish before Jehovah. {3:2} And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of his oblation, and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and
Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round
about. {3:3} And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah; the fat that covereth the inwards,
and all the fat that is upon the inwards, {3:4} and the two kidneys,
and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon
the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. {3:5} And Aaron's sons
shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt-offering, which is upon the
wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet
savor unto Jehovah.

   {3:6} And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto
Jehovah be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without
blemish. {3:7} If he offer a lamb for his oblation, then shall he offer
it before Jehovah; {3:8} and he shall lay his hand upon the head of his
oblation, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aaron's sons
shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about. {3:9} And
he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by
fire unto Jehovah; the fat thereof, the fat tail entire, he shall take
away hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and
all the fat that is upon the inwards, {3:10} and the two kidneys, and
the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the
liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. {3:11} And the priest
shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by
fire unto Jehovah.

   {3:12} And if his oblation be a goat, then he shall offer it before
Jehovah: {3:13} and he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill
it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the
blood thereof upon the altar round about. {3:14} And he shall offer
thereof his oblation, [even] an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; the
fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the
inwards, {3:15} and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them,
which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys,
shall he take away. {3:16} And the priest shall burn them upon the
altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor;
all the fat is Jehovah's. {3:17} It shall be a perpetual statute
throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat
neither fat nor blood.





   {4:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {4:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sin unwittingly, in any of
the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and shall do
any one of them: {4:3} if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring
guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he hath
sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto Jehovah for a
sin-offering. {4:4} And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the
tent of meeting before Jehovah; and he shall lay his hand upon the head
of the bullock, and kill the bullock before Jehovah. {4:5} And the
anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to
the tent of meeting: {4:6} and the priest shall dip his finger in the
blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah, before the
veil of the sanctuary. {4:7} And the priest shall put of the blood upon
the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Jehovah, which is in the
tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bullock shall he pour out at
the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the
tent of meeting. {4:8} And all the fat of the bullock of the
sin-offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covereth the
inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, {4:9} and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the
caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away, {4:10} as it
is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and the
priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt-offering. {4:11} And the
skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its
legs, and its inwards, and its dung, {4:12} even the whole bullock
shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the
ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the ashes
are poured out shall it be burnt.

   {4:13} And if the whole congregation of Israel err, and the thing be
hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things
which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and are guilty; {4:14}
when the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall
offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and bring it before the tent
of meeting. {4:15} And the elders of the congregation shall lay their
hands upon the head of the bullock before Jehovah; and the bullock
shall be killed before Jehovah. {4:16} And the anointed priest shall
bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting: {4:17} and
the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven
times before Jehovah, before the veil. {4:18} And he shall put of the
blood upon the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, that is in
the tent of meeting; and all the blood shall he pour out at the base of
the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of
meeting. {4:19} And all the fat thereof shall he take off from it, and
burn it upon the altar. {4:20} Thus shall he do with the bullock; as he
did with the bullock of the sin-offering, so shall he do with this; and
the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
{4:21} And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn
it as he burned the first bullock: it is the sin-offering for the
assembly.

   {4:22} When a ruler sinneth, and doeth unwittingly any one of all
the things which Jehovah his God hath commanded not to be done, and is
guilty; {4:23} if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be made known to
him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a male without blemish.
{4:24} And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it
in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before Jehovah: it is a
sin-offering. {4:25} And the priest shall take of the blood of the
sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of
burnt-offering; and the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of
the altar of burnt-offering. {4:26} And all the fat thereof shall he
burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings;
and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and
he shall be forgiven.

   {4:27} And if any one of the common people sin unwittingly, in doing
any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and be
guilty; {4:28} if his sin, which he hath sinned, be made known to him,
then he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a female without blemish,
for his sin which he hath sinned. {4:29} And he shall lay his hand upon
the head of the sin-offering, and kill the sin-offering in the place of
burnt-offering. {4:30} And the priest shall take of the blood thereof
with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of
burnt-offering; and all the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base
of the altar. {4:31} And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the
fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the
priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor unto Jehovah; and
the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

   {4:32} And if he bring a lamb as his oblation for a sin-offering, he
shall bring it a female without blemish. {4:33} And he shall lay his
hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and kill it for a sin-offering
in the place where they kill the burnt-offering. {4:34} And the priest
shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it
upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and all the blood
thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar: {4:35} and all the
fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away
from the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn them
on the altar, upon the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; and the
priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath
sinned, and he shall be forgiven.





   {5:1} And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of
adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do
not utter [it], then he shall bear his iniquity. {5:2} Or if any one
touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast,
or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping
things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be
guilty. {5:3} Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever his
uncleanness be wherewith he is unclean, and it be hid from him; when he
knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty. {5:4} Or if any one swear
rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a
man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he
knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these [things]. {5:5}
And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things], that
he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned: {5:6} and he shall bring
his trespass-offering unto Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned, a
female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the
priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin.

   {5:7} And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shall bring
his trespass-offering for that wherein he hath sinned, two
turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto Jehovah; one for a
sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering. {5:8} And he shall
bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the
sin-offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not
divide it asunder: {5:9} and he shall sprinkle of the blood of the
sin-offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood
shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin-offering.
{5:10} And he shall offer the second for a burnt-offering, according to
the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him as
concerning his sin which he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

   {5:11} But if his means suffice not for two turtle-doves, or two
young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that wherein he
hath sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a
sin-offering: he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any
frankincense thereon; for it is a sin-offering. {5:12} And he shall
bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as
the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, upon the offerings of
Jehovah made by fire: it is a sin-offering. {5:13} And the priest shall
make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in any
of these things, and he shall be forgiven: and [the remnant] shall be
the priest's, as the meal-offering.

   {5:14} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {5:15} If any one
commit a trespass, and sin unwittingly, in the holy things of Jehovah;
then he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation in silver by
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering:
{5:16} and he shall make restitution for that which he hath done amiss
in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it
unto the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the
ram of the trespass-offering, and he shall be forgiven.

   {5:17} And if any one sin, and do any of the things which Jehovah
hath commanded not to be done; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty,
and shall bear his iniquity. {5:18} And he shall bring a ram without
blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for a
trespass-offering, unto the priest; and the priest shall make atonement
for him concerning the thing wherein he erred unwittingly and knew it
not, and he shall be forgiven. {5:19} It is a trespass-offering: he is
certainly guilty before Jehovah.



   {6:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {6:2} If any one sin,
and commit a trespass against Jehovah, and deal falsely with his
neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or have
oppressed his neighbor, {6:3} or have found that which was lost, and
deal falsely therein, and swear to a lie; in any of all these things
that a man doeth, sinning therein; {6:4} then it shall be, if he hath
sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by
robbery, or the thing which he hath gotten by oppression, or the
deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,
{6:5} or any thing about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even
restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part more thereto: unto him
to whom it appertaineth shall he give it, in the day of his being found
guilty. {6:6} And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, a
ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for
a trespass-offering, unto the priest: {6:7} and the priest shall make
atonement for him before Jehovah; and he shall be forgiven concerning
whatsoever he doeth so as to be guilty thereby.

   {6:8} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {6:9} Command Aaron and
his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering: the
burnt-offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night unto the
morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning thereon.
{6:10} And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen
breeches shall he put upon his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes
whereto the fire hath consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he
shall put them beside the altar. {6:11} And he shall put off his
garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without
the camp unto a clean place. {6:12} And the fire upon the altar shall
be kept burning thereon, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn
wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order
upon it, and shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offerings. {6:13}
Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go
out.

   {6:14} And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron
shall offer it before Jehovah, before the altar. {6:15} And he shall
take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour of the meal-offering,
and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the
meal-offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor, as
the memorial thereof, unto Jehovah. {6:16} And that which is left
thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven
in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.
{6:17} It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it as their
portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as the
sin-offering, and as the trespass-offering. {6:18} Every male among the
children of Aaron shall eat of it, as [his] portion for ever throughout
your generations, from the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: whosoever
toucheth them shall be holy.

   {6:19} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {6:20} This is the
oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto Jehovah
in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine
flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and
half thereof in the evening. {6:21} On a baking-pan it shall be made
with oil; when it is soaked, thou shalt bring it in: in baken pieces
shalt thou offer the meal-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
{6:22} And the anointed priest that shall be in his stead from among
his sons shall offer it: by a statute for ever it shall be wholly burnt
unto Jehovah. {6:23} And every meal-offering of the priest shall be
wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

   {6:24} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {6:25} Speak unto Aaron
and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: in the
place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be
killed before Jehovah: it is most holy. {6:26} The priest that offereth
it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the
court of the tent of meeting. {6:27} Whatsoever shall touch the flesh
thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof
upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a
holy place. {6:28} But the earthen vessel wherein it is boiled shall be
broken; and if it be boiled in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured,
and rinsed in water. {6:29} Every male among the priests shall eat
thereof: it is most holy. {6:30} And no sin-offering, whereof any of
the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the
holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt with fire.



   {7:1} And this is the law of the trespass-offering: it is most holy.
{7:2} In the place where they kill the burnt-offering shall they kill
the trespass-offering; and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle upon the
altar round about. {7:3} And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof:
the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, {7:4} and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the
caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away; {7:5} and
the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire
unto Jehovah: it is a trespass-offering. {7:6} Every male among the
priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holy place: it is
most holy. {7:7} As is the sin-offering, so is the trespass-offering;
there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith,
he shall have it. {7:8} And the priest that offereth any man's
burnt-offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the
burnt-offering which he hath offered. {7:9} And every meal-offering
that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying-pan,
and on the baking-pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it. {7:10}
And every meal-offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons
of Aaron have, one as well as another.

   {7:11} And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offerings,
which one shall offer unto Jehovah. {7:12} If he offer it for a
thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving
unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with
oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked. {7:13} With
cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice
of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving. {7:14} And of it he shall
offer one out of each oblation for a heave-offering unto Jehovah; it
shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offerings.

   {7:15} And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for
thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; he shall not
leave any of it until the morning. {7:16} But if the sacrifice of his
oblation be a vow, or a freewill-offering, it shall be eaten on the day
that he offereth his sacrifice; and on the morrow that which remaineth
of it shall be eaten: {7:17} but that which remaineth of the flesh of
the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. {7:18} And if
any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be eaten on
the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed
unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul
that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

   {7:19} And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be
eaten; it shall be burnt with fire. And as for the flesh, every one
that is clean shall eat thereof: {7:20} but the soul that eateth of the
flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, that pertain unto Jehovah,
having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his
people. {7:21} And when any one shall touch any unclean thing, the
uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination,
and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which pertain
unto Jehovah, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

   {7:22} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {7:23} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or
goat. {7:24} And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and the fat of
that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service; but ye
shall in no wise eat of it. {7:25} For whosoever eateth the fat of the
beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, even
the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. {7:26} And ye
shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any
of your dwellings. {7:27} Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that
soul shall be cut off from his people.

   {7:28} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {7:29} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his
peace-offerings unto Jehovah shall bring his oblation unto Jehovah out
of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings: {7:30} his own hands shall
bring the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; the fat with the breast
shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before
Jehovah. {7:31} And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but
the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'. {7:32} And the right thigh
shall ye give unto the priest for a heave-offering out of the
sacrifices of your peace-offerings. {7:33} He among the sons of Aaron
that offereth the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have
the right thigh for a portion. {7:34} For the wave-breast and the
heave-thigh have I taken of the children of Israel out of the
sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the
priest and unto his sons as [their] portion for ever from the children
of Israel.

   {7:35} This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the
anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Jehovah made by
fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Jehovah in the
priest's office; {7:36} which Jehovah commanded to be given them of the
children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is [their]
portion for ever throughout their generations.

   {7:37} This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meal-offering,
and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the
consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; {7:38} which
Jehovah commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded
the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto Jehovah, in the
wilderness of Sinai.



   {8:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {8:2} Take Aaron and his
sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock
of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened
bread; {8:3} and assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the
tent of meeting. {8:4} And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and the
congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting. {8:5}
And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which Jehovah
hath commanded to be done.

   {8:6} And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with
water. {8:7} And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the
girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and
he girded him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it
unto him therewith. {8:8} And he placed the breastplate upon him: and
in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim. {8:9} And he set
the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set the
golden plate, the holy crown; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {8:10} And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle
and all that was therein, and sanctified them. {8:11} And he sprinkled
thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its
vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them. {8:12} And he
poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to
sanctify him. {8:13} And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and clothed them
with coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound head-tires upon
them; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {8:14} And he brought the bullock of the sin-offering: and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the
sin-offering. {8:15} And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put
it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and
purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar,
and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. {8:16} And he took all the
fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two
kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it upon the altar. {8:17} But
the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with
fire without the camp; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {8:18} And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering: and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. {8:19} And he
killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
{8:20} And he cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head,
and the pieces, and the fat. {8:21} And he washed the inwards and the
legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a
burnt-offering for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {8:22} And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and
Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. {8:23}
And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood thereof, and put it upon
the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and
upon the great toe of his right foot. {8:24} And he brought Aaron's
sons; and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and
upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their
right foot: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
{8:25} And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was
upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and
their fat, and the right thigh: {8:26} and out of the basket of
unleavened bread, that was before Jehovah, he took one unleavened cake,
and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat,
and upon the right thigh: {8:27} and he put the whole upon the hands of
Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and waved them for a
wave-offering before Jehovah. {8:28} And Moses took them from off their
hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a
consecration for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah. {8:29} And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a
wave-offering before Jehovah: it was Moses' portion of the ram of
consecration; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

   {8:30} And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which
was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and
upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him, and sanctified
Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

   {8:31} And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at
the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it and the bread that is
in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his
sons shall eat it. {8:32} And that which remaineth of the flesh and of
the bread shall ye burn with fire. {8:33} And ye shall not go out from
the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your
consecration be fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.
{8:34} As hath been done this day, so Jehovah hath commanded to do, to
make atonement for you. {8:35} And at the door of the tent of meeting
shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of
Jehovah, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. {8:36} And Aaron and
his sons did all the things which Jehovah commanded by 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 he said unto Aaron,
Take thee a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a
burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before Jehovah. {9:3}
And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a
he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old,
without blemish, for a burnt-offering; {9:4} and an ox and a ram for
peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal-offering
mingled with oil: for to-day Jehovah appeareth unto you. {9:5} And they
brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all
the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah. {9:6} And Moses
said, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded that ye should do: and
the glory of Jehovah shall appear unto you. {9:7} And Moses said unto
Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy
burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and
offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as
Jehovah commanded.

   {9:8} So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the
sin-offering, which was for himself. {9:9} And the sons of Aaron
presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood,
and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the
base of the altar: {9:10} but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul
from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Jehovah
commanded Moses. {9:11} And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire
without the camp.

   {9:12} And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons delivered
unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about.
{9:13} And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him, piece by piece,
and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar. {9:14} And he washed
the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the
altar.

   {9:15} And he presented the people's oblation, and took the goat of
the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it
for sin, as the first. {9:16} And he presented the burnt-offering, and
offered it according to the ordinance. {9:17} And he presented the
meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the
altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning.

   {9:18} He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of
peace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons delivered
unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
{9:19} and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that
which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul of the
liver: {9:20} and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the
fat upon the altar: {9:21} and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron
waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah; as Moses commanded.

   {9:22} And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed
them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the
burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings. {9:23} And Moses and Aaron
went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people:
and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the people. {9:24} And there
came forth fire from before Jehovah, and consumed upon the altar the
burnt-offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they
shouted, and fell on their faces.



   {10:1} And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his
censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered
strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them. {10:2}
And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and
they died before Jehovah. {10:3} Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it
that Jehovah spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh
me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his
peace. {10:4} And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel
the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Draw near, carry your brethren
from before the sanctuary out of the camp. {10:5} So they drew near,
and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
{10:6} And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar,
his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your
clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the
congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail
the burning which Jehovah hath kindled. {10:7} And ye shall not go out
from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing
oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

   {10:8} And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying, {10:9} Drink no wine
nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the
tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations: {10:10} and that ye may make a distinction
between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
{10:11} and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes
which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by Moses.

   {10:12} And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto
Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that remaineth
of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven
beside the altar; for it is most holy; {10:13} and ye shall eat it in a
holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons' portion, of the
offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded. {10:14} And
the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place,
thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as
thy portion, and thy sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the
peace-offerings of the children of Israel. {10:15} The heave-thigh and
the wave-breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the
fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be
thine, and thy sons' with thee, as a portion for ever; as Jehovah hath
commanded.

   {10:16} And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering,
and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and with
Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying, {10:17} Wherefore
have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary,
seeing it is most holy, and he hath given it you to bear the iniquity
of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah? {10:18}
Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: ye
should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.
{10:19} And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered
their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and there
have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the
sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of
Jehovah? {10:20} And when Moses heard [that], it was well-pleasing in
his sight.



   {11:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
{11:2} Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living
things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
{11:3} Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth
the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat. {11:4} Nevertheless these
shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the
hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof,
he is unclean unto you. {11:5} And the coney, because he cheweth the
cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you. {11:6} And the
hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is
unclean unto you. {11:7} And the swine, because he parteth the hoof,
and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
{11:8} Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall
not touch; they are unclean unto you.

   {11:9} These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever
hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers,
that may ye eat. {11:10} And all that have not fins and scales in the
seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the
living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto
you, {11:11} and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not
eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
{11:12} Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an
abomination unto you.

   {11:13} And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they
shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the
gier-eagle, and the ospray, {11:14} and the kite, and the falcon after
its kind, {11:15} every raven after its kind, {11:16} and the ostrich,
and the night-hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind,
{11:17} and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
{11:18} and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture, {11:19}
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

   {11:20} All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an
abomination unto you. {11:21} Yet these may ye eat of all winged
creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their
feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth. {11:22} Even these of them ye
may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind,
and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
{11:23} But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an
abomination unto you.

   {11:24} And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the
carcass of them shall be unclean until the even; {11:25} And whosoever
beareth [aught] of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even. {11:26} Every beast which parteth the hoof, and
is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every
one that toucheth them shall be unclean. {11:27} And whatsoever goeth
upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean
unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
{11:28} And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

   {11:29} And these are they which are unclean unto you among the
creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse,
and the great lizard after its kind, {11:30} and the gecko, and the
land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
{11:31} These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep:
whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until
the even. {11:32} And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead,
doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or
raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work
is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the
even; then shall it be clean. {11:33} And every earthen vessel,
whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean,
and it ye shall break. {11:34} All food [therein] which may be eaten,
that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be
drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean. {11:35} And every thing
whereupon [any part] of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether
oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are
unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. {11:36} Nevertheless a fountain
or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which
toucheth their carcass shall be unclean. {11:37} And if [aught] of
their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is
clean. {11:38} But if water be put upon the seed, and [aught] of their
carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.

   {11:39} And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth
the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even. {11:40} And he
that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.

   {11:41} And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an
abomination; it shall not be eaten. {11:42} Whatsoever goeth upon the
belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many
feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall
not eat; for they are an abomination. {11:43} Ye shall not make
yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither
shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled
thereby. {11:44} For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves
therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile
yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the
earth. {11:45} For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of
Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

   {11:46} This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every
living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that
creepeth upon the earth; {11:47} to make a distinction between the
unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten
and the living thing that may not be eaten.



   {12:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {12:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a
man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the
impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean. {12:3} And in the eighth
day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. {12:4} And she
shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying three and thirty days;
she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until
the days of her purifying be fulfilled. {12:5} But if she bear a
maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity;
and she shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying threescore and
six days.

   {12:6} And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son,
or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a
burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a
sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest:
{12:7} and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for
her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is
the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female. {12:8} And if
her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves,
or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a
sin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she
shall be clean.



   {13:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {13:2}
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or
a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of
leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of
his sons the priests: {13:3} and the priest shall look on the plague in
the skin of the flesh: and if the hair in the plague be turned white,
and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh,
it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him, and
pronounce him unclean. {13:4} And if the bright spot be white in the
skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the
skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall
shut up [him that hath] the plague seven days: {13:5} and the priest
shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his eyes the
plague be at a stay, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the
priest shall shut him up seven days more: {13:6} and the priest shall
look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim,
and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and
be clean. {13:7} But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that
he hath showed himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show
himself to the priest again: {13:8} and the priest shall look; and,
behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.

   {13:9} When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
brought unto the priest; {13:10} and the priest shall look; and,
behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the
hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising, {13:11} it is
an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. {13:12} And
if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all
the skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even to his feet,
as far as appeareth to the priest; {13:13} then the priest shall look;
and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall
pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: it is all turned white:
he is clean. {13:14} But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he
shall be unclean. {13:15} And the priest shall look on the raw flesh,
and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy.
{13:16} Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then
he shall come unto the priest; {13:17} and the priest shall look on
him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest
shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he is clean.

   {13:18} And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it
is healed, {13:19} and in the place of the boil there is a white
rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then is shall be showed to the
priest; {13:20} and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the
appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be
turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the
plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil. {13:21} But if the
priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it
be not lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him
up seven days: {13:22} And if it spread abroad in the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague. {13:23} But if the
bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the
boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

   {13:24} Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by
fire, and the quick [flesh] of the burning become a bright spot,
reddish-white, or white; {13:25} then the priest shall look upon it;
and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the
appearance thereof be deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, it hath
broken out in the burning: and the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy. {13:26} But if the priest look on it, and,
behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower
than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven
days: {13:27} and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it
spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy. {13:28} And if the bright spot stay in its
place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim; it is the rising of
the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is the
scar of the burning.

   {13:29} And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon
the beard, {13:30} then the priest shall look on the plague; and,
behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be
in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. {13:31} And if
the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance
thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it,
then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague of the scall
seven days: {13:32} And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the
plague; and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no
yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the
skin, {13:33} then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not
shave; and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven
days more: {13:34} and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the
scall; and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the
appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin; then the priest shall
pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
{13:35} But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,
{13:36} then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be
spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he
is unclean. {13:37} But if in his eyes the scall be at a stay, and
black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and
the priest shall pronounce him clean.

   {13:38} And when a man or a woman hath in the skin of the flesh
bright spots, even white bright spots; {13:39} then the priest shall
look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of
a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin; he is
clean.

   {13:40} And if a man's hair be fallen off his head, he is bald;
[yet] is he clean. {13:41} And if his hair be fallen off from the front
part of his head, he is forehead bald; [yet] is he clean. {13:42} But
if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white
plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald
forehead. {13:43} Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if
the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his
bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh;
{13:44} he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall surely
pronounce him unclean; his plague is in his head.

   {13:45} And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be
rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his
upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. {13:46} All the days
wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he
shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be.

   {13:47} The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether
it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; {13:48} whether it be in
warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in
anything made of skin; {13:49} if the plague be greenish or reddish in
the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be showed unto
the priest. {13:50} And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut
up [that which hath] the plague seven days: {13:51} and he shall look
on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the
garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever
service skin is used for; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is
unclean. {13:52} And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the
woof, in woollen or in linen, or anything of skin, wherein the plague
is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

   {13:53} And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not
spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin; {13:54} then the priest shall command that they wash
the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days
more: {13:55} and the priest shall look, after that the plague is
washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its color, and the
plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire: it
is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without.

   {13:56} And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after
the washing thereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out
of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: {13:57} and if it
appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin, it is breaking out: thou shalt burn that wherein the
plague is with fire. {13:58} And the garment, either the warp, or the
woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the
plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time,
and shall be clean.

   {13:59} This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of
woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or anything of skin,
to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.



   {14:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {14:2} This shall be
the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought
unto the priest: {14:3} and the priest shall go forth out of the camp;
and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be
healed in the leper, {14:4} then shall the priest command to take for
him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop: {14:5} And the priest shall command to kill one of
the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. {14:6} As for the
living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and
the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the
bird that was killed over the running water: {14:7} And he shall
sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times,
and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into
the open field. {14:8} And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his
clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he
shall be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but shall
dwell outside his tent seven days. {14:9} And it shall be on the
seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his
beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he
shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he
shall be clean.

   {14:10} And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without
blemish, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenth
parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with
oil, and one log of oil. {14:11} And the priest that cleanseth him
shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before
Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. {14:12} And the priest
shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him for a trespass-offering,
and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah:
{14:13} and he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the
sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary: for
as the sin-offering is the priest's, so is the trespass-offering: it is
most holy: {14:14} and the priest shall take of the blood of the
trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the
right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his
right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. {14:15} And the
priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his
own left hand; {14:16} and the priest shall dip his right finger in the
oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his
finger seven times before Jehovah: {14:17} and of the rest of the oil
that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear
of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand,
and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the
trespass-offering: {14:18} and the rest of the oil that is in the
priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed:
and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah. {14:19} And
the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him
that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he
shall kill the burnt-offering; {14:20} and the priest shall offer the
burnt-offering and the meal-offering upon the altar: and the priest
shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

   {14:21} And if he be poor, and cannot get so much, then he shall
take one he-lamb for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonement
for him, and one tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with
oil for a meal-offering, and a log of oil; {14:22} and two
turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the
one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering. {14:23}
And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing unto the
priest, unto the door of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah: {14:24}
and the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the
log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before
Jehovah. {14:25} And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering;
and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and
put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and
upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right
foot. {14:26} And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his
own left hand; {14:27} and the priest shall sprinkle with his right
finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before
Jehovah: {14:28} and the priest shall put of the oil that is in his
hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and
upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right
foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass-offering: {14:29} and
the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the
head of him that is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before
Jehovah. {14:30} And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the
young pigeons, such as he is able to get, {14:31} even such as he is
able to get, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a
burnt-offering, with the meal-offering: and the priest shall make
atonement for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah. {14:32} This
is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to
get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.

   {14:33} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, {14:34}
When ye are come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of
your possession; {14:35} then he that owneth the house shall come and
tell the priest, saying, There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague
in the house. {14:36} And the priest shall command that they empty the
house, before the priest goeth in to see the plague, that all that is
in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in
to see the house: {14:37} and he shall look on the plague; and, behold,
if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks,
greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall;
{14:38} then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
house, and shut up the house seven days. {14:39} And the priest shall
come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague
be spread in the walls of the house; {14:40} then the priest shall
command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast
them into an unclean place without the city: {14:41} and he shall cause
the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the
mortar, that they scrape off, without the city into an unclean place:
{14:42} and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of
those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the
house.

   {14:43} And if the plague come again, and break out in the house,
after that he hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the
house, and after it is plastered; {14:44} then the priest shall come in
and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a
fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. {14:45} And he shall
break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all
the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city
into an unclean place. {14:46} Moreover he that goeth into the house
all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
{14:47} And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he
that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

   {14:48} And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the
plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered;
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is
healed. {14:49} And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and
cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: {14:50} and he shall kill one of
the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: {14:51} and he shall
take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living
bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running
water, and sprinkle the house seven times: {14:52} and he shall cleanse
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 scarlet: {14:53} but he shall let go the living bird out of
the city into the open field: so shall he make atonement for the house;
and it shall be clean.

   {14:54} This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for
a scall, {14:55} and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house,
{14:56} and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
{14:57} to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the
law of leprosy.



   {15:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, {15:2}
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath
an issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. {15:3}
And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run
with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his
uncleanness. {15:4} Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth
shall be unclean; and everything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean.
{15:5} And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even. {15:6} And he that
sitteth on anything whereon he that hath the issue sat shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
{15:7} And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even. {15:8} And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean,
then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean until the even. {15:9} And what saddle soever he that hath the
issue rideth upon shall be unclean. {15:10} And whosoever toucheth
anything that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he
that beareth those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even. {15:11} And whomsoever he that
hath the issue toucheth, without having rinsed his hands in water, he
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even. {15:12} And the earthen vessel, which he that hath the
issue toucheth, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be
rinsed in water.

   {15:13} And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue,
then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash
his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall
be clean. {15:14} And on the eighth day he shall take to him two
turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah unto the
door of the tent of meeting, and give them unto the priest: {15:15} and
the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other
for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him
before Jehovah for his issue.

   {15:16} And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he
shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
{15:17} And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of
copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
{15:18} The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of
copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean
until the even.

   {15:19} And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh
be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whosoever
toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. {15:20} And everything
that she lieth upon in her impurity shall be unclean: everything also
that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. {15:21} And whosoever toucheth
her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean until the even. {15:22} And whosoever toucheth anything that
she sitteth upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even. {15:23} And if it be on the bed, or on
anything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean
until the even. {15:24} And if any man lie with her, and her impurity
be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he
lieth shall be unclean.

   {15:25} And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in
the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of
her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be
as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean. {15:26} Every bed
whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the
bed of her impurity: and everything whereon she sitteth shall be
unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity. {15:27} And whosoever
toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. {15:28} But if
she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven
days, and after that she shall be clean. {15:29} And on the eighth day
she shall take unto her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and
bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting. {15:30}
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other
for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her
before Jehovah for the issue of her uncleanness.

   {15:31} Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their
uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile
my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.

   {15:32} This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose
seed of copulation goeth from him, so that he is unclean thereby;
{15:33} and of her that is sick with her impurity, and of him that hath
an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her
that is unclean.



   {16:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons
of Aaron, when they drew near before Jehovah, and died; {16:2} and
Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not
at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat
which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud
upon the mercy-seat. {16:3} Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy
place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a
burnt-offering. {16:4} He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he
shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with
the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: they
are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put
them on. {16:5} And he shall take of the congregation of the children
of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a
burnt-offering.

   {16:6} And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering,
which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his
house. {16:7} And he shall take the two goats, and set them before
Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting. {16:8} And Aaron shall cast
lots upon the two goats; one lot for Jehovah, and the other lot for
Azazel. {16:9} And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell
for Jehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering. {16:10} But the goat, on
which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before Jehovah, to
make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness.

   {16:11} And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering,
which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his
house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for
himself: {16:12} and he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from
off the altar before Jehovah, and his hands full of sweet incense
beaten small, and bring it within the veil: {16:13} and he shall put
the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, that the cloud of the incense
may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
{16:14} and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it
with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east; and before the
mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

   {16:15} Then shall he kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for
the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood
as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the
mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat: {16:16} and he shall make
atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the
children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their
sins: and so shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwelleth with
them in the midst of their uncleannesses. {16:17} And there shall be no
man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the
holy place, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself, and
for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. {16:18} And he
shall go out unto the altar that is before Jehovah, and make atonement
for it, and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of
the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. {16:19}
And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times,
and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of
Israel.

   {16:20} And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place,
and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat:
{16:21} and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live
goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of
Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall
put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand
of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness: {16:22} and the goat
shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitary land: and he
shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

   {16:23} And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put
off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy
place, and shall leave them there: {16:24} and he shall bathe his flesh
in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and
offer his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the people, and make
atonement for himself and for the people. {16:25} And the fat of the
sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar. {16:26} And he that letteth
go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in
water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. {16:27} And the
bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose
blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be
carried forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their
skins, and their flesh, and their dung. {16:28} And he that burneth
them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp.

   {16:29} And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh
month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and
shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that
sojourneth among you: {16:30} for on this day shall atonement be made
for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before
Jehovah. {16:31} It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall
afflict your souls; it is a statute for ever. {16:32} And the priest,
who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his
father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen
garments, even the holy garments: {16:33} and he shall make atonement
for the holy sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the tent of
meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests
and for all the people of the assembly. {16:34} And this shall be an
everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of
Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as
Jehovah commanded Moses.



   {17:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {17:2} Speak unto
Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say
unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
{17:3} What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an
ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp,
{17:4} and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to
offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah:
blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man
shall be cut off from among his people: {17:5} To the end that the
children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in
the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the
door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for
sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah. {17:6} And the priest shall
sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of
meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah. {17:7} And
they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after
which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them
throughout their generations.

   {17:8} And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the
house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that
offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice, {17:9} and bringeth it not unto
the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man
shall be cut off from his people.

   {17:10} And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of
the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood,
I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut
him off from among his people. {17:11} For the life of the flesh is in
the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement
for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of
the life. {17:12} Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul
of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth
among you eat blood. {17:13} And whatsoever man there be of the
children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who
taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour
out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

   {17:14} For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is [all
one] with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of
Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of
all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
{17:15} And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that
which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even: then shall he be clean. {17:16} But if he wash them
not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.



   {18:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {18:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God. {18:3}
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not
do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you,
shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes. {18:4} Mine
ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein:
I am Jehovah your God. {18:5} Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and
mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.

   {18:6} None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to
him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am Jehovah. {18:7} The nakedness
of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not
uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
{18:8} The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is
thy father's nakedness. {18:9} The nakedness of thy sister, the
daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at
home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
{18:10} The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's
daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is
thine own nakedness. {18:11} The nakedness of thy father's wife's
daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not
uncover her nakedness. {18:12} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. {18:13} Thou
shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy
mother's near kinswoman. {18:14} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness
of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is
thine aunt. {18:15} Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
daughter-in-law: 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} Thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take
her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her
nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness. {18:18} And thou
shalt not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival [to her], to uncover
her nakedness, besides the other in her life-time.

   {18:19} And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her
nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness. {18:20} And
thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself
with her. {18:21} And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them
pass through [the fire] to Molech; neither shalt thou profane the name
of thy God: I am Jehovah. {18:22} Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as
with womankind: it is abomination. {18:23} And thou shalt not lie with
any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand
before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

   {18:24} Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all
these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you; {18:25}
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon
it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants. {18:26} Ye therefore
shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of
these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that
sojourneth among you; {18:27} (for all these abominations have the men
of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);
{18:28} that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it
vomited out the nation that was before you. {18:29} For whosoever shall
do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut
off from among their people. {18:30} Therefore shall ye keep my charge,
that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were
practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am
Jehovah your God.



   {19:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {19:2} Speak unto all
the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall
be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy. {19:3} Ye shall fear every man
his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah
your God. {19:4} Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten
gods: I am Jehovah your God.

   {19:5} And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto
Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted. {19:6} It shall be
eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain
until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire. {19:7} And if it be
eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be
accepted: {19:8} but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity,
because he hath profaned the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall
be cut off from his people.

   {19:9} And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
gleaning of thy harvest. {19:10} And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard,
neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt
leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

   {19:11} Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie
one to another. {19:12} And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and
profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

   {19:13} Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages
of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the
morning. {19:14} Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a
stumblingblock before the blind; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am
Jehovah.

   {19:15} Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not
respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but
in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. {19:16} Thou shalt not
go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou
stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.

   {19:17} Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt
surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. {19:18}
Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children
of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am
Jehovah.

   {19:19} Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle
gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds
of seed: neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of
stuff mingled together. {19:20} And whosoever lieth carnally with a
woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all
redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished; they shall not
be put to death, because she was not free. {19:21} And he shall bring
his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of
meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering. {19:22} And the priest
shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering
before Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned: and the sin which he
hath sinned shall be forgiven him. {19:23} And when ye shall come into
the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye
shall count the fruit thereof as their uncircumcision: three years
shall they be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten. {19:24}
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving
praise unto Jehovah. {19:25} And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the
fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am
Jehovah your God.

   {19:26} Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye
use enchantments, nor practise augury. {19:27} Ye shall not round the
corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
{19:28} Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor
print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah.

   {19:29} Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; lest the
land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. {19:30}
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am Jehovah.

   {19:31} Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto
the wizards; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am Jehovah
your God.

   {19:32} Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face
of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

   {19:33} And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall
not do him wrong. {19:34} The stranger that sojourneth with you shall
be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as
thyself; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your
God.

   {19:35} Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of
length, of weight, or of quantity. {19:36} Just balances, just weights,
a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am Jehovah your God, who
brought you out of the land of Egypt. {19:37} And ye shall observe all
my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.



   {20:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {20:2} Moreover, thou
shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his
seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the
land shall stone him with stones. {20:3} I also will set my face
against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because
he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to
profane my holy name. {20:4} And if the people at the land do at all
hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech,
and put him not to death; {20:5} then I will set my face against that
man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that play
the harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech, from among their
people.

   {20:6} And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar
spirits, and unto the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will
even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his
people. {20:7} Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am
Jehovah your God. {20:8} And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I
am Jehovah who sanctifieth you. {20:9} For every one that curseth his
father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his
father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

   {20:10} And the man that committeth adultery with another man's
wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the
adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. {20:11} And
the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's
nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall
be upon them. {20:12} And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both
of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion;
their blood shall be upon them. {20:13} And if a man lie with mankind,
as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. {20:14} And if
a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt
with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
{20:15} And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death:
and ye shall slay the beast. {20:16} And if a woman approach unto any
beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

   {20:17} And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter,
or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his
nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the
sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's
nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. {20:18} And if a man shall lie
with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he
hath made naked her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of
her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
{20:19} And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
sister, nor of thy father's sister; for he hath made naked his near
kin: they shall bear their iniquity. {20:20} And if a man shall lie
with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they
shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. {20:21} And if a man
shall take his brother's wife, it is impurity: he hath uncovered his
brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

   {20:22} Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mine
ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell
therein, vomit you not out. {20:23} And ye shall not walk in the
customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all
these things, and therefore I abhorred them. {20:24} But I have said
unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to
possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God,
who hath separated you from the peoples. {20:25} Ye shall therefore
make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between
the unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls
abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the ground
teemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean. {20:26} And ye
shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart
from the peoples, that ye should be mine.

   {20:27} A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that
is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with
stones; their blood shall be upon them.



   {21:1} And Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons
of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defile himself for the
dead among his people; {21:2} except for his kin, that is near unto
him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his
daughter, and for his brother, {21:3} and for his sister a virgin, that
is near unto him, that hath had no husband; for her may he defile
himself. {21:4} He shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among
his people, to profane himself. {21:5} They shall not make baldness
upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their
beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. {21:6} They shall be holy
unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the
offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God, they do
offer: therefore they shall be holy. {21:7} They shall not take a woman
that is a harlot, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away
from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. {21:8} Thou shalt
sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall
be holy unto thee: for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy. {21:9} And
the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the
harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

   {21:10} And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon
whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put
on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor rend
his clothes; {21:11} neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor
defile himself for his father, or for his mother; {21:12} neither shall
he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for
the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.
{21:13} And he shall take a wife in her virginity. {21:14} A widow, or
one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these shall he not take:
but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife. {21:15} And he
shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Jehovah who
sanctifieth him.

   {21:16} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {21:17} Speak unto
Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations
that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his
God. {21:18} For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not
approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or
anything superfluous, {21:19} or a man that is broken-footed, or
broken-handed, {21:20} or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a
blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones
broken; {21:21} no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a
blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by
fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of
his God. {21:22} He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most
holy, and of the holy: {21:23} only he shall not go in unto the veil,
nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he
profane not my sanctuaries: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
{21:24} So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the
children of Israel.



   {22:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {22:2} Speak unto Aaron
and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of
the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they
profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah. {22:3} Say unto them, Whosoever
he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth
unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah,
having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before
me: I am Jehovah. {22:4} What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a
leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he
be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a
man whose seed goeth from him; {22:5} or whosoever toucheth any
creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may
take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; {22:6} the soul that
toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of
the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water. {22:7} And when
the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the
holy things, because it is his bread. {22:8} That which dieth of
itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself
therewith: I am Jehovah. {22:9} They shall therefore keep my charge,
lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am
Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

   {22:10} There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner
of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
{22:11} But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he
shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of
his bread. {22:12} And if a priest's daughter be married unto a
stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
{22:13} But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no
child, and be returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she
shall eat of her father's bread: but there shall no stranger eat
thereof. {22:14} And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then
he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the
priest the holy thing. {22:15} And they shall not profane the holy
things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,
{22:16} and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt,
when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

   {22:17} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {22:18} Speak unto
Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say
unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners
in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows,
or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a
burnt-offering; {22:19} that ye may be accepted, [ye shall offer] a
male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.
{22:20} But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it
shall not be acceptable for you. {22:21} And whosoever offereth a
sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a
freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to
be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. {22:22} Blind, or
broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not
offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the
altar unto Jehovah. {22:23} Either a bullock or a lamb that hath
anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer
for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
{22:24} That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or
cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do [thus] in
your land. {22:25} Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer
the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in
them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

   {22:26} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {22:27} When a
bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be
seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it
shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah. {22:28} And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and
its young both in one day. {22:29} And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of
thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be
accepted. {22:30} On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave
none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah. {22:31} Therefore shall ye
keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah. {22:32} And ye shall
not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of
Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you, {22:33} who brought you out of
the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.



   {23:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {23:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of Jehovah, which
ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set
feasts. {23:3} Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a
sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
work: it is a sabbath unto Jehovah in all your dwellings.

   {23:4} These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations,
which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season. {23:5} In the first
month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah's
passover. {23:6} And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the
feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah: seven days ye shall eat
unleavened bread. {23:7} In the first day ye shall have a holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work. {23:8} But ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah seven days: in the seventh day is a
holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

   {23:9} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {23:10} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land
which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye
shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the
priest: {23:11} and he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be
accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave
it. {23:12} And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a
he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.
{23:13} And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts [of an
ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of
wine, the fourth part of a hin. {23:14} And ye shall eat neither bread,
nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye
have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

   {23:15} And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the
sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering;
seven sabbaths shall there be complete: {23:16} even unto the morrow
after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall
offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah. {23:17} Ye shall bring out of
your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they
shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for
first-fruits unto Jehovah. {23:18} And ye shall present with the bread
seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two
rams: they shall be a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, with their
meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. {23:19} And ye shall offer one
he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice
of peace-offerings. {23:20} And the priest shall wave them with the
bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before Jehovah, with the
two lambs: they shall be holy to Jehovah for the priest. {23:21} And ye
shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holy
convocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: it is a statute for
ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

   {23:22} And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for
the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

   {23:23} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {23:24} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of
the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of
trumpets, a holy convocation. {23:25} Ye shall do no servile work; and
ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

   {23:26} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {23:27} Howbeit on the
tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a
holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye
shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. {23:28} And ye shall
do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to
make atonement for you before Jehovah your God. {23:29} For whatsoever
soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be
cut off from his people. {23:30} And whatsoever soul it be that doeth
any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from
among his people. {23:31} Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a
statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
{23:32} It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall
afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even
unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.

   {23:33} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {23:34} Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month
is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Jehovah. {23:35} On the
first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.
{23:36} Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye
shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: it is a solemn
assembly; ye shall do no servile work.

   {23:37} These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim
to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto
Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and
drink-offerings, each on its own day; {23:38} besides the sabbaths of
Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides
all your freewill-offerings, which ye give unto Jehovah.

   {23:39} Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye
have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of
Jehovah seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the
eighth day shall be a solemn rest. {23:40} And ye shall take you on the
first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs
of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before
Jehovah your God seven days. {23:41} And ye shall keep it a feast unto
Jehovah seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever throughout
your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventh month. {23:42} Ye
shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel
shall dwell in booths; {23:43} that your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out
of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God. {23:44} And Moses declared
unto the children of Israel the set feasts of Jehovah.



   {24:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {24:2} Command the
children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for
the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. {24:3} Without the veil
of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order
from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations. {24:4} He shall keep in
order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually.

   {24:5} And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes
thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake. {24:6} And
thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table
before Jehovah. {24:7} And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each
row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made
by fire unto Jehovah. {24:8} Every sabbath day he shall set it in order
before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of the children of
Israel, an everlasting covenant. {24:9} And it shall be for Aaron and
his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy
unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual
statute.

   {24:10} And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an
Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the
Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:
{24:11} and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and
cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name was
Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. {24:12} And they
put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of
Jehovah.

   {24:13} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {24:14} Bring forth
him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay
their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
{24:15} And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. {24:16} And he that
blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all
the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as
the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name [of Jehovah], shall be put
to death. {24:17} And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be
put to death. {24:18} And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make
it good, life for life. {24:19} And if a man cause a blemish in his
neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him: {24:20} breach
for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish
in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him. {24:21} And he that killeth
a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to
death. {24:22} Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the
sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God. {24:23} And
Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that
had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the
children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.



   {25:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, {25:2}
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto
Jehovah. {25:3} Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou
shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof; {25:4} but
in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a
sabbath unto Jehovah: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy
vineyard. {25:5} That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt
not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather:
it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. {25:6} And the sabbath
of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant
and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who
sojourn with thee. {25:7} And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that
are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

   {25:8} And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee,
seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven
sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years. {25:9} Then shalt thou
send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in
the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all
your land. {25:10} And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim
liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall
be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his
possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. {25:11} A
jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither
reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it
of the undressed vines. {25:12} For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy
unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

   {25:13} In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his
possession. {25:14} And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of
thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not wrong one another. {25:15} According
to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy
neighbor, [and] according unto the number of years of the crops he
shall sell unto thee. {25:16} According to the multitude of the years
thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of
the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the
crops doth he sell unto thee. {25:17} And ye shall not wrong one
another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.

   {25:18} Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances
and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. {25:19} And the
land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell
therein in safety. {25:20} And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the
seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;
{25:21} then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and
it shall bring forth fruit for the three years. {25:22} And ye shall
sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the
ninth year, until its fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store.

   {25:23} And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land
is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. {25:24} And in
all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the
land. {25:25} If thy brother be waxed poor, and sell some of his
possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and
shall redeem that which his brother hath sold. {25:26} And if a man
have no one to redeem it, and he be waxed rich and find sufficient to
redeem it; {25:27} then let him reckon the years of the sale thereof,
and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall
return unto his possession. {25:28} But if he be not able to get it
back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand
of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the
jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

   {25:29} And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he
may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year
shall he have the right of redemption. {25:30} And if it be not
redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the
walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it,
throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee. {25:31}
But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them
shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed,
and they shall go out in the jubilee. {25:32} Nevertheless the cities
of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the
Levites redeem at any time. {25:33} And if one of the Levites redeem,
then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go
out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are
their possession among the children of Israel. {25:34} But the field of
the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual
possession.

   {25:35} And if thy brother be waxed poor, and his hand fail with
thee; then thou shalt uphold him: [as] a stranger and a sojourner shall
he live with thee. {25:36} Take thou no interest of him or increase,
but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. {25:37} Thou
shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give him thy victuals
for increase. {25:38} I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out
of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your
God.

   {25:39} And if thy brother be waxed poor with thee, and sell himself
unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as a bond-servant. {25:40}
As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall
serve with thee unto the year of jubilee: {25:41} then shall he go out
from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own
family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. {25:42}
For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of
Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. {25:43} Thou shalt not rule
over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God. {25:44} And as for thy
bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have; of the nations that
are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
{25:45} Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among
you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you,
which they have begotten in your land: and they shall be your
possession. {25:46} And ye shall make them an inheritance for your
children after you, to hold for a possession; of them shall ye take
your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye
shall not rule, one over another, with rigor.

   {25:47} And if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxed rich, and
thy brother be waxed poor beside him, and sell himself unto the
stranger [or] sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger's
family; {25:48} after that he is sold he may be redeemed: one of his
brethren may redeem him; {25:49} or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may
redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may
redeem him; or if he be waxed rich, he may redeem himself. {25:50} And
he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold
himself to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale
shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of a
hired servant shall he be with him. {25:51} If there be yet many years,
according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out
of the money that he was bought for. {25:52} And if there remain but
few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him;
according unto his years shall he give back the price of his
redemption. {25:53} As a servant hired year by year shall he be with
him: he shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight. {25:54} And if
he be not redeemed by these [means], then he shall go out in the year
of jubilee, he, and his children with him. {25:55} For unto me the
children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought
forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.



   {26:1} Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a
graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in
your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Jehovah your God. {26:2} Ye
shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Jehovah.

   {26:3} If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do
them; {26:4} then I will give your rains in their season, and the land
shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their
fruit. {26:5} And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the
vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread
to the full, and dwell in your land safely. {26:6} And I will give
peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you
afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither
shall the sword go through your land. {26:7} And ye shall chase your
enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. {26:8} And five
of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten
thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. {26:9}
And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply
you, and will establish my covenant with you. {26:10} And ye shall eat
old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of 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 will be your God,
and ye shall be my people. {26:13} I am Jehovah your God, who brought
you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their
bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go
upright.

   {26:14} But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all
these commandments; {26:15} and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if
your soul abhor mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all my
commandments, but break my covenant; {26:16} I also will do this unto
you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that
shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and ye shall
sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. {26:17} And I
will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your
enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when
none pursueth you. {26:18} And if ye will not yet for these things
hearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your
sins. {26:19} And I will break the pride of your power: and I will make
your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass; {26:20} and your strength
shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase,
neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

   {26:21} And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto
me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your
sins. {26:22} And I will send the beast of the field among you, which
shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you
few in number; and your ways shall become desolate. {26:23} And if by
these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary
unto me; {26:24} then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will
smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. {26:25} And I will bring
a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and
ye shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the
pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the
enemy. {26:26} When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake
your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by
weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

   {26:27} And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk
contrary unto me; {26:28} then I will walk contrary unto you in wrath;
and I also will chastise you seven times for 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 destroy your high places, and cut down your
sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols;
and my soul shall abhor you. {26:31} And I will make your cities a
waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not
smell the savor of your sweet odors. {26:32} And I will bring the land
into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be
astonished at it. {26:33} And you will I scatter among the nations, and
I will draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a
desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

   {26:34} Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land; even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy its sabbaths. {26:35} As long as it lieth desolate it
shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when
ye dwelt upon it. {26:36} And as for them that are left of you, I will
send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and
the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as
one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
{26:37} And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the
sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before
your enemies. {26:38} And ye shall perish among the nations, and the
land of your enemies shall eat you up. {26:39} And they that are left
of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and
also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

   {26:40} And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of
their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and
also that, because they walked contrary unto me, {26:41} I also walked
contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if
then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the
punishment of their iniquity; {26:42} then will I remember my covenant
with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with
Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. {26:43} The land
also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while it
lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of
their iniquity; because, even because they rejected mine ordinances,
and their soul abhorred my statutes. {26:44} And yet for all that, when
they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither
will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant
with them; for I am Jehovah their God; {26:45} but I will for their
sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth
out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be
their God: I am Jehovah.

   {26:46} These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which
Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by
Moses.



   {27:1} And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, {27:2} Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a
vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by thy estimation. {27:3} And thy
estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty
years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after
the shekel of the sanctuary. {27:4} And if it be a female, then thy
estimation shall be thirty shekels. {27:5} And if it be from five years
old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the
male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. {27:6} And if it
be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall
be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy
estimation shall be three shekels of silver. {27:7} And if it be from
sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall
be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. {27:8} But if he be
poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and
the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that vowed
shall the priest value him.

   {27:9} And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto
Jehovah, all that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shall be holy.
{27:10} He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a
bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then
both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. {27:11} And if
it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation unto
Jehovah, then he shall set the beast before the priest; {27:12} and the
priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest
valuest it, so shall it be. {27:13} But if he will indeed redeem it,
then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

   {27:14} And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto
Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad:
as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. {27:15} And if he
that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth
part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

   {27:16} And if a man shall sanctify unto Jehovah part of the field
of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing
thereof: the sowing of a homer of barley [shall be valued] at fifty
shekels of silver. {27:17} If he sanctify his field from the year of
jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. {27:18} But if he
sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto
him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of
jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation. {27:19}
And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he
shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it
shall be assured to him. {27:20} And if he will not redeem the field,
or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed
any more: {27:21} but the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee,
shall be holy unto Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof
shall be the priest's. {27:22} And if he sanctify unto Jehovah a field
which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession;
{27:23} then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy
estimation unto the year of jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation
in that day, as a holy thing unto Jehovah. {27:24} In the year of
jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to
him to whom the possession of the land belongeth. {27:25} And all thy
estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty
gerahs shall be the shekel.

   {27:26} Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling
to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is
Jehovah's. {27:27} And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall
ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the
fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold
according to thy estimation.

   {27:28} Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote
unto Jehovah of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the
field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing
is most holy unto Jehovah. {27:29} No one devoted, that shall be
devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to
death.

   {27:30} And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the
land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's: it is holy unto
Jehovah. {27:31} And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall
add unto it the fifth part thereof. {27:32} And all the tithe of the
herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be
holy unto Jehovah. {27:33} He shall not search whether it be good or
bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both
it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be
redeemed.

   {27:34} These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses
for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
