1 ¶ AND the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When any man of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offerings of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.""
3 ¶ If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation to make reconciliation for himself before the LORD. 4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of his burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 6 And he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. 7 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order upon the fire; 8 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar; 9 But its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water; and the priest shall burn all on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering of a sweet savour made by fire to the LORD.""
10 ¶ And if his offering be of the flocks, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice, he shall offer a male without blemish. 11 And he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar. 12 And he shall cut it into 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; 13 But he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water; and the priest shall offer it all and burn it upon the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet savour to the LORD. 14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar round about; 16 And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east side in the place of the ashes; 17 And he shall cleave it between its wings, 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 sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet savour to the LORD.""
2:1 ¶ WHEN any person shall offer a meal offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it and put frankincense thereon; 2 And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests; and he shall take from it his handful of the fine flour, and from the oil, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn his memorial offering upon the altar to be an offering made by fire, a sweet savour to the LORD. 3 And the remnant of the meal offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. 4 And when you offer a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers mixed with oil. 5 And if your offering be a meal offering baked on a griddle, it shall be of fine unleavened flour mixed with oil. 6 You shall part it in pieces and pour oil upon the meal offering. 7 And if your offering is a meal offering baked in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the LORD; and you shall present it to the priest and he shall place it upon the altar to the LORD. 9 And the priest shall take from the meal offering a memorial thereof and shall burn it upon the altar; it is an offering made by fire, a sweet savour to the LORD. 10 And what is left of the meal offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.""
11 ¶ Every meal offering which you shall offer to the LORD shall be made without leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering of the LORD made by fire. 12 As for the offerings of the first-fruits, you shall offer them to the LORD; but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour. 13 And every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you let the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt. 14 And if you offer a meal offering of the first-fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meal offering a handful of pure ears of wheat parched by fire; wheat beaten out of full ears, pure, you shall offer of your first-fruits. 15 And you shall put oil upon it and lay frankincense thereon; for it is a meal offering. 16 And the priest shall burn the memorial offering of it, part of the beaten wheat and part of the oil with all the frankincense thereof; it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.""
3:1 ¶ IF his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd, whether it be a male or a female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. 2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. 3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails 4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 5 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice which is upon the wood that is on the fire; it is an offering made by fire, a sweet savour to the LORD.""
6 ¶ And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD be of the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 7 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD. 8 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and kill it before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar. 9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; its fat and the whole rump shall he remove close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails, 10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, shall he remove. 11 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar; it is a food offering made by fire to the LORD. 12 And if his offering be of the goats then he shall offer it before the LORD. 13 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about. 14 And he shall offer part of it as his offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails 15 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, shall he remove. 16 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar; it is a food offering made by fire for a sweet savour; all the fat is the LORD’S. 17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings that you eat neither fat nor blood.""
4:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a person shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do any one of them; 3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sins of the people; then let him offer for the sin which he has committed a young bullock without blemish to the LORD for his sin offering. 4 And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head and kill the bullock before the LORD. 5 And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation; 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD before the veil of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and he shall pour all the rest of the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails, 9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it he shall take away, 10 Just as it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offering; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering. 11 And the skin of the bullock and all its flesh, with its dung, its head, its legs, and its entrails, 12 The whole bullock he shall carry forth outside the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out and shall burn it on the wood which is upon the fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burnt.""
13 ¶ And if the whole congregation of Israel go wrong, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done and are guilty; 14 When the sin which they have committed against it is known, then the whole congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin and bring it before the tabernacle of the congregation. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD. 16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the tabernacle of the congregation; 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil. 18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 19 And he shall take all its fat from it and burn it upon the altar. 20 And he shall do with the bullock just as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make an atonement for them and it shall be forgiven them. 21 And they shall carry forth the bullock outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bullock; it is a sin offering for the congregation.""
22 ¶ When a ruler shall sin and shall do something through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty; 23 Or if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish; 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 the LORD; it is a sin offering. 25 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And he shall burn all its fat upon the altar as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin and it shall be forgiven him.""
27 ¶ And if any one of the common people of the land sin through ignorance, while he does something against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; 28 Or if his sin which he has committed is made known to him; then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. 29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering in the place where the burnt offering is killed. 30 And the priest shall take some of the blood with his finger and sprinkle it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the bottom of the altar. 31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him and it shall be forgiven him. 32 And if he bring of the lambs for his sin offering, then he shall bring a female without blemish. 33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering and slay it for a sin offering at the place where burnt offering victims are killed. 34 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and sprinkle it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the bottom of the altar; 35 And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he has committed and it shall be forgiven him.""
5:1 ¶ WHEN a person sins and hears the voice of swearing and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it, if he do not tell it, then he shall suffer for his iniquity. 2 Or if any person touches any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an unclean beast or a carcass of unclean cattle or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and disregards it, he also is unclean and guilty. 3 Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled with, and disregards it, and he knows that he has sinned; 4 Or if any person swears with his lips to do evil or to do good, in whatever decision a man has sworn by an oath, and he disregards it, and yet he knows that he has sinned in one of these things, 5 And it shall be when he shall be guilty in one of these things that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing; 6 And he shall bring as his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a female kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin;""
7 ¶ And if he cannot afford to bring a she lamb, then he shall bring for his sin offering two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and he shall wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it; 9 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar; it is a sin offering. 10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ritual; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he has committed and it shall be forgiven him. 11 But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring for his offering for the sin which he has committed 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. 12 Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as a memorial thereof and burn it on the altar according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD; it is a sin offering. 13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him for the sin which he has committed in any one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him; and the rest shall be the priest’s as a meal offering.""
14 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 15 If any person commits a trespass and sins through ignorance in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass offering to the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, valued in money at two shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering; 16 And the sinner shall make amends for the harm that he has done in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering and it shall be forgiven him. 17 And if any person sins and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he does not know that he has sinned, yet he is guilty and shall suffer for his iniquity. 18 And he shall bring to the priest a ram of value without blemish out of the flocks for a trespass offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his ignorance in erring, even though he knew it not, and it shall be forgiven him. 19 It is a trespass offering; he certainly shall bring an offering to the LORD.""
6:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 If any person sins and commits an iniquity against the LORD or lies to his neighbor over a pledge or partnership or takes away a thing by violence or has defrauded his neighbor 3 Or has found that which was lost, and lies about it, and swears falsely; in any of these things that a man does, sinning therein; 4 Then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, he shall restore what he took violently or what he got deceitfully or the pledge which was delivered to him to keep or the lost thing which he found 5 Or anything about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it in the principal and shall add a fifth part more to it and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day of his trespass offering. 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram of value without blemish out of the flocks for a trespass offering to the priest; 7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD; and it shall be forgiven him for any of the things that he has done in trespassing therein.""
8 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning in it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall be put upon his body, and he shall remove the ashes which the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 11 Then he shall put off his garments and put on other garments and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out; and the priest shall pile up wood on it from morning to morning and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 13 The fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall never go out.""
14 ¶ This is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 15 And the priest shall take of it 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 savour, as a memorial to the LORD. 16 And the remainder of it shall Aaron and his sons eat; with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation shall they eat it. 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the trespass offering. 18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire; every one that touches them shall be holy. 19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which they shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a perpetual meal offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening, continually. 21 On a griddle it shall be made with oil; he shall bake it soft, and the baked pieces of the meal offering you shall offer for a sweet savour to the LORD. 22 And the priest of his sons who is anointed in his stead shall offer it; it is a statute for ever to the LORD; it shall be wholly burned. 23 For every meal offering for the priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not he eaten.""
24 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 25 Speak to 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 the LORD; it is most holy. 26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it; in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. 27 Whosoever shall touch the meat thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of its blood upon any garment, you shall wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a holy place. 28 But the earthen vessel in which it was cooked shall be broken; and if it is cooked in a bronze vessel, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 All the priests among Aaron’s sons shall eat of it; it is most holy. 30 And no sin offering whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make atonement in the holy place shall be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire.""
7:1 ¶ THIS is the law of the trespass offering; it is most holy. 2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood shall they sprinkle round about upon the altar. 3 Then he shall offer of it all its fat; the rump, and the fat that covers the entrails, 4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it he shall take away; 5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD; it is a trespass offering. 6 Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it; it shall be eaten in the holy place; it is most holy. 7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. 8 And the priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. 9 And all the meal offering that is baked in the oven and all that is baked on the griddle and in the pan shall belong to the priest who offers it. 10 And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, every one according to his portion.""
11 ¶ And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offering, which is offered to the LORD. 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil and soft baked cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 14 And of it he shall offer one cake out of the whole offering as an offering to the LORD, and it shall be the portion of the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering. 15 And the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for his thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; nothing of it shall be left over until the morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a gift offering, it shall be eaten on the same day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten; 17 But what is left over of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 18 And if any of the meat of the sacrifice of the peace offering be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offers it; it shall he an abomination, and the person who eats of it shall suffer for his iniquity. 19 And the meat that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire; and as for the meat, all who are clean shall eat of it. 20 But the person who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of the peace offering that pertains to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from his people. 21 Moreover the person that shall touch any unclean thing, such as the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any unclean creeping thing, and eat of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings which pertain to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people. 22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no manner of fat, of oxen or of lambs or of goats. 24 And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn by wild beasts, may be used in any other use; but you shall in no wise eat of it. 25 For whosoever eats the fat of the animal of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, the person that eats it shall be cut off from his people. 26 Moreover you shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. 27 Whosoever eats any manner of blood, that person shall be cut off from his people. 28 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He that offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his burnt offering. 30 His own hands shall bring his offering for the LORD made by fire; he shall bring the fat which is upon the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD. 31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons. 32 And the right shoulder shall you give to the LORD for an offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the peace offering shall have the right shoulder for his part. 34 For the wave breast and the shoulder offering have I taken from the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.""
35 ¶ This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing of his sons from the offerings of the LORD made by fire, on the day when they are presented to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office; 36 That which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, on the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations. 37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, of the sin offering, of the trespass offering, of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, 38 Which the LORD commanded Moses on mount Sinai on the day that he commanded him concerning the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.""
8:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and take the vestments and the anointing oil and a bullock for the sin offering and two rams and a basket of unleavened bread, 3 And gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 5 And Moses said to the congregation, This is the commandment which the LORD has commanded to be done. 6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water; 7 And put upon him the coat and girded him with the girdle and clothed him with the robe and bound the loin cloth on his loins and put the ephod upon him and girded him with the embroidered girdle of the ephod. 8 And he put the breastplate upon him; and he put on the breastplate the Urim and the Thummin. 9 And he put the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre upon his forefront, he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. 10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it and sanctified them. 11 And he sprinkled of it upon the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its vessels and the laver and its base and sanctified them. 12 And he poured some of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head and anointed him and sanctified him. 13 And Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put linen vestments upon them and girded them with girdles and put mitres upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.""
14 ¶ And he brought the bullock for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering. 15 And he killed it; and Moses took some of the blood with his finger and sprinkled it upon the horns of the altar round about and purified the altar, and the rest of the blood he poured at the base of the altar and sanctified it to make atonement for it. 16 And he took all the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. 17 But the bullock and its hide and its meat and its dung he burned with fire outside the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses. 18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burned the head and the pieces and the fat. 21 And he washed the entrails and the legs in water; and Moses burned the whole ram upon the altar; it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, an offering to the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 23 And Moses killed it; and he took some of the blood of it, and sprinkled it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot. 24 And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses sprinkled some of the blood on the tips of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 25 And he took the fat and the rump and all the fat that was upon the entrails and the caul above the liver and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder; 26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake and a cake of bread with oil and one wafer, and put them on the fat and upon the right shoulder; 27 And he put all upon Aaron’s hands, and upon his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burned them on the altar as a burnt offering; they were consecration offerings for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD. 29 And Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD; for of the ram of consecration it was Moses’ portion; as the LORD commanded Moses. 30 And Moses took some of the anointing oil and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron and upon his garments and upon his sons and upon his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron and his garments and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.""
31 ¶ And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Cook the meat at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 32 And that which remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn with fire. 33 And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation for seven days, until the days of your consecration are at an end; for your consecration will be completed in seven days. 34 Just as I have done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do to make an atonement for you. 35 Therefore you shall remain at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the LORD’S observance, that you die not; for so I am commanded. 36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.""
9:1 ¶ AND it came to pass on the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel; 2 And he said to Aaron, Take for yourself a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. 3 And he said to the children of Israel, Take for yourselves a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; 4 Also a bullock and a ram for a peace offering, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal offering mixed with oil; for today the LORD will appear to you. 5 And they brought everything that Moses had commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation; and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. 6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you should do, and the glory of the LORD shall appear to you. 7 And Moses said to Aaron, Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make an atonement for yourself and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.""
8 ¶ Aaron therefore drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood and sprinkled it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar; 10 But the fat and the kidneys and the caul above the liver of the sin offering he burned upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses. 11 And the meat and the hide he burned with fire outside the camp. 12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, and he sprinkled it round about upon the altar. 13 And they presented the burnt offering to him, and he cut it into pieces and burned the head upon the altar. 14 And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them for a burnt offering upon the altar. 15 And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat which was for the sin offering for the people, and killed it and washed it and offered it for sin, as the first. 16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ritual. 17 And he brought the meal offering and filled his hand from it and burned it upon the altar beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 18 Then he killed the bullock also and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offering which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about, 19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, the fat that covers the entrails, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver; 20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat upon the altar; 21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded. 22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offering.""
23 ¶ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out and blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared in the presence of all the people. 24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar, which all the people saw; they gave praise and fell on their faces.""
10:1 ¶ AND Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire therein and laid incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, not at its appointed time, and not as he had commanded them. 2 And there went out fire from before the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.""
3 ¶ Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the LORD has spoken, saying, I will be sanctified by those that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. 4 And Moses called Manshael and Elizphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 5 So they drew near and carried them in their vestments out of the camp; as Moses had said. 6 Then Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left to him, Do not shave your heads, neither rend your clothes, lest you die, and lest wrath come upon all the people; but let all your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail over the victims, whom the LORD burned. 7 And you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.""
8 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Aaron, saying, 9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; 10 That you may make a distinction between holy and unholy, and between clean and unclean; 11 And that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.""
12 ¶ And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy: 13 And you shall eat it in the holy place because it is your due and your sons’ due from the offerings of the LORD made by fire; for so was I commanded. 14 And the wave breast and shoulder offering you shall eat in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you; for they are your due and your sons’ due which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. 15 The shoulder offering and the wave breast they shall bring with the offerings of the fat, made by fire, to wave it as a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be yours and your sons with you by a statute for ever; as the LORD has commanded, that Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned; and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, and he said to them. 17 Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and I have given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? 18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the sanctuary; you should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I was commanded, that Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 19 And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, this day they have offered their sin offerings and their burnt offerings before the LORD; and such things have befallen me; and if I had eaten the sin offering today, should it have been better accepted in the presence of the LORD? 20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.""
11:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, and said to them, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, These are the beasts which you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: 3 Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud among the beasts, that you may eat. 4 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of: those that chew the cud, or those that divide the hoof, as the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you. 5 And the coney, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you. 6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you. 7 And the swine, though it divide the hoof and is cloven-footed, yet it does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcass you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.""
9 ¶ These shall you eat of all that are in the waters; whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, you shall eat. 10 But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing that is in the waters, they are unclean to you; 11 You shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall declare unclean. 12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is unclean to you. 13 And these you shall abhor among the birds; they shall not be eaten, because they are unclean: the eagle and the vulture 14 And the raven after its kind; 15 And the ostrich and the night hawk after its kind; 16 And the little owl and the pelican, the great owl, the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind; 17 And the stork, the bee eater, 18 And the swan and the hoopoe after their kind, 19 And the heron and the peacock.""
20 ¶ All species that creep, going upon all fours, are unclean to you. 21 Yet these things you may eat of every flying insect that goes upon all fours, which have legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth; 22 Of these you may eat: the locust after its kind and the large winged locust after its kind, 23 But all other flying insects which have four feet are unclean to you. 24 And by these you shall be unclean; whosoever touches their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening. 25 And whosoever carries of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. 26 The carcasses of every beast which divides the hoof and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, are unclean to you; every one who touches them shall be unclean until the evening. 27 And whatever goes upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all fours, are unclean to you; whosoever touches their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening. 28 And he who carries their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening, because they are unclean to you. 29 These also are unclean to you among all the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, the lizard after its kind, 30 And the ferret, and the mole, the yellow lizard, and the chameleon, and the snail. 31 These are unclean to you among all that creep; whosoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. 32 And upon whatever thing any of them falls when they are dead, that thing shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood or a garment or a skin or a sack or whatever vessel it be wherein any work is done, it must be put into water and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed. 33 And every earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and you shall break it. 34 Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water falls shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 35 And everything upon which any part of their carcasses falls shall be unclean; whether it be oven or bake-house, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 Nevertheless a fountain or a cistern and the pools of water shall be clean; but whosoever touches their carcasses shall be unclean. 37 And if any part of their carcasses falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38 But if any water be put upon the seed and any part of their carcasses falls on it, it shall be unclean to you. 39 And if any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the evening. 40 And he who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and shall be unclean until the evening; he also that carries the carcass of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. 41 And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is unclean to you; it shall not be eaten. 42 Whatever goes upon its belly and whatever goes upon all fours or whatever has many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, you shall not eat of them; for they are unclean.""
43 ¶ You shall not make yourselves unclean with any creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, lest you become unclean with them; defile not yourselves with them. 44 For I am the LORD your God; you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy; neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. 45 For I am the LORD your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46 This is the law of beast and of fowl and of every living creature that moves in the water and of every creature that creeps upon the earth; 47 To make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.""
12:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses and said to him, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived and bear a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean. 3 And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall continue for thirty-three days in the blood of her purifying; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. 5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days.""
6 ¶ And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest; 7 And he shall offer it before the LORD and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male child or a female. 8 And if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall bring two pigeons or two young turtledoves; the one for the sin offering and the other for the burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her and she shall be clean.""
13:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 When a man shall have a sore on the skin of his body, or a scab or a shiny spot, and it be on the skin of his body like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests; 3 And the priest shall look on the disease on the skin of his body; and if the hair in the sore is turned white and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his body, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on it and pronounce him unclean. 4 And if the shiny spot be white on the skin of his body, but does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white; then the priest shall observe the disease for seven days; 5 And the priest shall look on him on the seventh day, and if the disease has remained in its place and has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall observe it seven days more. 6 And the priest shall look on him after seven days, and if the disease has been checked and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; because it is only a scab, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. 7 But if the scab spreads much in the skin after that the priest has seen it and cleaned it, he shall show it to the priest again; 8 And if the priest shall see that the scab has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean because it is leprosy. 9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest; 10 And the priest shall see him, and if there is a white swelling in the skin and it has turned the hair white and the indication of the flesh is raw in the swelling, 11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean and shall not shut him up; for he is unclean. 12 And if the leprosy breaks out all over his skin, so that the leprosy covers all of the skin of him who has the plague from his head to his feet, wherever the priest looks, 13 Then the priest shall consider; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague; for it has all turned white; he is clean. 14 But on the day when raw flesh appears on him, he shall become unclean. 15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce the raw flesh unclean; for it is unclean; it is leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall be brought to the priest; 17 And the priest shall see him; and if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that has the plague; he is clean.""
18 ¶ The flesh also, if there is in the skin thereof a boil and it is healed, 19 And in the place of the boil there be a white swelling or a shiny spot, white or reddish, it shall be shown to the priest; 20 And when the priest sees it, if it appears deeper than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; for it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil. 21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there is no white hair in it and if it is not deeper than the skin but is even with the skin, then the priest shall observe it seven days; 22 And if it spreads much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is the plague of leprosy. 23 But if the shiny spot stays in its place and spreads not, it is a scar of the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 24 Or if a person’s body has a burn on its skin, and the quick flesh of the burn has a shiny spot, somewhat white or reddish, 25 Then the priest shall look on it, and if the hair in the shiny spot has turned white, and it appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy broken out in the burn; wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is the plague of leprosy. 26 But if the priest look on it, and there is no white hair in the shiny spot and it is no deeper than the skin, but is even; then the priest shall observe it seven days; 27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day; and if it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is the plague of leprosy. 28 And if the shiny spot stays in its place and does not spread in the skin and is somewhat even, it is a scab of the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; because it is the scab of the burn. 29 If a man or woman has a disease on the head or the beard; 30 Then the priest shall see the disease; and, if it appears deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is the disease of leprosy of the head or beard. 31 And if the priest look on the disease, and it does not appear deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall observe it seven days; 32 And on the seventh day the priest shall look on the disease; and if the disease has not spread, and if there is no yellow hair in it and the appearance of the disease is not deeper than the skin. 33 Then he shall shave the sides of the sore, but the sore he shall not shave; and the priest shall observe the disease seven days more; 34 And on the seventh day the priest shall look on the disease; and if the disease has not spread in the skin and does not appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. 35 But if the disease spreads much in the skin after his cleansing, 36 Then the priest shall look on him; and if the disease has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for yellow hair; he is unclean. 37 But if the disease remains in its place and there is black hair grown up in it; the disease is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.""
38 ¶ If a man or a woman have in the skin of the body shiny spots, bright or white spots, 39 Then the priest shall look; and if the shiny spots in the skin of the body are darkish white or reddish, it is a scab that has grown on the skin; he is clean. 40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet he is clean. 41 And he whose hair has fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald; yet he is clean. 42 And if there is on his bald head or bald forehead a white or reddish sore, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead. 43 Then the priest shall look on the swelling of the sore; and if the sore is white or reddish on his bald head or on his bald forehead like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body, 44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; for the disease is on his head. 45 And he who has the plague, his clothes shall be rent and his head shaved, and he shall cover his lips and call himself unclean. 46 All the days wherein the plague is on him he shall be defiled; for he is unclean; he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his habitation be.""
47 ¶ If a garment has leprous disease in it, whether it be a woolen garment or a linen garment, 48 Whether it be in the warp or woof, of linen or of woolen, in a skin or in anything made of skin, 49 And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin, either in the warp or in the woof or in anything of skin, it is a plague of leprosy and shall be shown to the priest; 50 And the priest shall look upon the plague and observe it seven days; 51 And the priest shall look on the plague on the seventh day; if the disease has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof or in a skin or in any article that is made of skin, the plague is a malignant leprosy; it is unclean. 52 He shall therefore burn the garment whether warp or woof, in woolen or in linen, or anything of skin in which is the plague; for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire. 53 And if the priest shall look, and the plague has not spread in the garment either in the warp or in the woof or in anything of skin, 54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which is the plague and he shall observe it seven days more; 55 And the priest shall look on the plague after it is washed; and if the plague has not changed its appearance and the disease has not changed its color and the plague has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire; it has been diseased when it was new or when old. 56 And if the priest sees that the disease has diminished after being washed, then he shall rend it out of the garment or out of the skin or out of the warp or out of the woof; 57 And if it appears still in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof or in anything of skin, they shall burn it with fire, for the plague has spread in it. 58 And the garment, either warp or woof or anything of skin which has been washed, if the disease departs from them, then it shall be washed the second time and shall be clean. 59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp or woof or anything of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.""
14:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 This shall be the law for the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest; 3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper, 4 Then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean and cedar wood and scarlet material and hyssop; 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water; 6 Then he shall take the living bird and the cedar wood and the scarlet dye and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; 7 And he shall sprinkle upon him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird fly into the open field. 8 And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe himself in water, that he may be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp but shall tarry outside his tent seven days. 9 And on the seventh day he shall shave all the 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 bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean.""
10 ¶ And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish and three tenth deals of fine flour, for a meal offering mixed with oil, and one half pint of oil. 11 And the priest who does the cleansing shall present the man who is to be cleansed and those things before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; 12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it for a trespass offering, and the half pint of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD; 13 And he shall kill the male lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place; for as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so does the trespass offering; it is most holy; 14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall sprinkle it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; 15 And the priest shall take some of the oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; 16 Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD; 17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand the priest shall sprinkle it upon the tip of the right ear of him who 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; 18 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him who is to be cleansed; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD. 19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering and make an atonement for the man who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; 20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering upon the altar; and the priest shall make an atonement for him and he shall be clean.""
21 ¶ And if he is poor and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a half pint of oil, 22 And two turtledoves or two young pigeons such as he can afford; and the one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. 23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD. 24 And the priest shall take one lamb and the half pint of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD; 25 Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and sprinkle it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot; 26 And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; 27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD; 28 And the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood of the trespass offering; 29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall sprinkle upon the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD. 30 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons such as he can afford; 31 One shall be for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD. 32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy who cannot afford the regular offerings for his cleansing.""
33 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 34 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you 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, 35 The owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me that there is a plague of leprosy in the house. 36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest shall go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house; 37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish scales, and appear to be deeper than the wall; 38 Then the priest shall go out of the house and stand at the door and observe the house seven days; 39 And the priest shall come back again on the seventh day and shall see if the plague has spread in the walls of the house; 40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague of leprosy is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city; 41 And they shall scrape the house within round about, and they shall throw out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place; 42 And they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones; and they shall take other mortar and plaster the house. 43 And if the plague spreads and breaks out in the house after the stones have been taken away and after the house has been scraped and plastered, 44 Then the priest shall go in and look, and if the plague has spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house; it is unclean. 45 And they shall demolish the house, its stones and its timber and all the mortar of the house; and they shall carry them forth out of the town into an unclean place and burn it with fire. 46 Moreover, he who enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening. 47 And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes. 48 And if the priest shall come in and look upon it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague has been healed. 49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds alive and clean and cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet material; 50 And the priest shall command and they shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water; 51 And he shall take the other living bird, the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet material and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times; 52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water and with the live bird and with the cedar wood and with hyssop and with the scarlet material; 53 But he shall let the live bird fly out of the town into the open field and make an atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.""
54 ¶ This law shall be for all manner of plagues of leprosy 55 And for the plague of leprosy in a garment and of a house 56 And for a swelling and for a scab and for a shiny spot; 57 To distinguish between clean, and unclean; this is the law of leprosy.""
15:1 ¶ THE LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When any man has a seminal discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean, 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with its discharge or his body has stopped from its discharge, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. 5 And any man who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 6 And he who sits on anything on which sat he who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 7 And he who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 8 And if he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 9 And anything on which he rides who has the discharge shall be unclean, 10 And whosoever touches anything that has been under him shall be unclean until the evening; and he who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 11 And any one who touches him who has the discharge, and has not washed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 12 And the earthen vessel which he touched who has the discharge shall be broken; and every vessel of wood or of brass shall be washed in water. 13 And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water and shall be clean. 14 And on the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and give them to the priest, 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 an atonement for him before the LORD for his discharge. 16 And if any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe all his body in water and be unclean until the evening. 17 And every garment or bed on which the semen has fallen shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening. 18 If a woman also lie with a man having an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.""
19 ¶ And if a woman has a discharge of blood, and her discharge is in her body, she shall be put apart for seven days in her menstruation, and whosoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening. 20 And everything upon which she lies during her menstruous discharge shall be unclean; and everything also that she sits upon shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 22 And whosoever touches anything that she sits upon shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 23 And if it be on the bed or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening. 24 And if any man lies with her and some of her menstruous discharge falls on him, he shall be unclean for seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean. 25 And if a woman has a menstruous discharge of blood for many days, not at the time of her menstruation, or if she has a menstruous discharge beyond the time of her menstruation, all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her menstruation; she shall be unclean. 26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her menstruation; and everything upon which she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her menstruation. 27 And whosoever touches those things shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 28 But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall number for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take to herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the discharge of her uncleanness. 31 Thus shall you admonish the children of Israel concerning their uncleanness, that they may not die in their uncleanness and that they may not defile my tabernacle that is among them. 32 This law shall be for him who has a discharge and for him who has an emission of semen and is defiled therewith; 33 And for her who has monthly course and for him who has a discharge, male or female, and for the man who lies with a woman who is unclean.""
16:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered strange fire before the LORD and died; 2 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your 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. 3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen coat and he shall have linen breeches upon his body and shall be girded with a linen girdle and shall put a linen mitre upon his head; because these are the vestments of the sanctuary; therefore he shall bathe his body in water, and then put them on.""
5 ¶ And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 And Aaron shall offer the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself and for his house. 7 And he shall take the two goats and present them alive before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazael. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’S lot fell and offer it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot of Azazael fell shall be presented alive before the LORD to make an atonement with it and to send it away to Azazael into the wilderness. 11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself and for his house; and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering; 12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and enter within the veil; 13 And he shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not; 14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.""
15 ¶ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering which is for the people and bring its blood within the veil, and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat and before the mercy seat; 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goes in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he comes out and has made an atonement for himself and for his household and for all the congregation of Israel. 18 And he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make an atonement for it; and shall take some of the blood of the bullock and some of the blood of the goat, and sprinkle it upon the horns of the altar round about. 19 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.""
20 ¶ And when he has made an end of atoning for the holy place and the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, he shall bring the live goat; 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel and all their transgressions and all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send it away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness; 22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a barren land; and he shall leave the goat in the wilderness. 23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen vestments which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there; 24 And he shall bathe his body in water in the holy place and put on his garments, and come forth and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself and for the people. 25 And the fat of the sin offering he shall burn upon the altar. 26 And he who let go the goat for Azazael shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water and afterward shall come into the camp. 27 And the bullock for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, some of whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, they shall carry forth outside the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins and their meat and their dung. 28 And he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water and afterward he shall come into the camp.""
29 ¶ And this shall be a statute for ever to you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble yourselves and do no work at all, both you and the proselytes who sojourn among you; 30 For on this day shall the priest make an atonement for you, that you may be clean from all your sins and that you may be clean before the LORD. 31 It shall be a sabbath and a rest to you, and you shall humble yourselves; it is a statute for ever. 32 And the priest who shall be anointed and who is consecrated to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead shall make the atonement and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments; 33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests and for all the people of the congregation. 34 And this shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.""
17:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, saying, 3 Any man whosoever be of the house of Israel, who kills an ox or a lamb or a goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 4 And does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD, blood shall be imputed to that man because he has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people, 5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, that they may bring them before the LORD to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them for peace offerings to the LORD. 6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and burn the fat for a sweet savour to the LORD. 7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to the demons after whom they have gone astray. This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations. 8 And you shall say to them, Any man of the house of Israel or of the proselytes who sojourn among you who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice 9 And does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation to offer it to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from among his people.""
10 ¶ And if any man of the children of Israel or of the proselytes who sojourn among you eats any manner of blood, I will pour out my anger against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for yourselves; for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall the proselytes who sojourn among you eat blood. 13 And any man of the children of Israel or of the proselytes who sojourn among you who hunts and catches any beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust. 14 For the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; whosoever eats it shall be cut off. 15 And every person who eats that which died of itself or that which was torn by wild beasts; whether it be one of you or one of the proselytes who sojourn among you, he shall both wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening; then shall he be clean. 16 But if he does not wash them nor bathe his body, then he shall suffer for his iniquity.""
18:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, I am the LORD your God. 3 You shall not do according to the doings of the land of Egypt wherein you dwelt, neither shall you do according to the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances. 4 But you shall do my judgments and keep my commandments and walk in them; I am the LORD your God. 5 You shall therefore keep my commandments and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; I am the LORD.""
6 ¶ None of you shall be intimate with any that is near of kin to him to uncover her nakedness; I am the LORD. 7 You shall not shame your father by approaching your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 You shall not approach your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness. 9 You shall not approach your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether she is begotten of your father or of another man. 10 You shall not approach your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, because they are your own kin. 11 You shall not approach your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 You shall not approach your father’s sister, she is your father’s near kinswoman. 13 You shall not approach your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman. 14 You shall not put to shame your father’s brother; you shall not approach his wife: for she is your aunt, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 15 You shall not approach your daughter-in-law; for she is your son’s wife; you shall not uncover tier nakedness. 16 You shall not approach your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. 17 You shall not approach a woman and her daughter; neither shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen; it is wickedness. 18 And you shall not take to wife a sister of your wife, to distress her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.""
19 ¶ You shall not be intimate with a woman while she is unclean during her menstruation. 20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife to defile yourself with her. 21 You shall not let any of your semen be cast into a strange woman to cause her to be pregnant; neither shall you profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; because it is an abomination. 23 Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself with it; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie with it; because it is an abomination. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things; for it was in all these that the nations are defiled which I am casting out before you; 25 And the land is defiled; therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it so that the land is bereaved of its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither you nor any proselytes who sojourn among you 27 (For all these sins have the men of the land done who were before you, and the land is defiled); 28 Do not defile the land, lest it cast you out as it cast out the nations that were before you. 29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore you shall keep my ordinance, and you shall not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and you shall not defile yourselves by them; I am the LORD your God.""
19:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy. 3 You must revere every man his father and his mother, and keep my commandments; for I am the LORD your God. 4 You shall not turn to idols nor make to yourselves molten gods; I am the LORD your God. 5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer the ones which are acceptable. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it and on the morrow; and what is left over until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire and shall not be eaten. 7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; and it shall not be accepted. 8 Therefore every one who eats of it shall suffer for his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field to the very corners, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 And you shall not glean your vineyards, neither shall you gather that which is fallen from your olive trees, but you shall leave them for the poor and the proselytes; for I am the LORD your God.""
11 ¶ You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; neither shall you lie to one another. 12 You shall not swear by my name falsely and so profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. 13 You shall not oppress your neighbor, neither carry him away by force; the wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the LORD. 15 You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor, nor respect the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not accuse your own people neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor; I am the LORD. 17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart; but you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, lost you incur sin because of him. 18 You shall not bear any enmity against the children of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.""
19 ¶ You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a diverse kind; you shall not sow your field with mixed seed; neither shall you wear a mantle made of mixed materials. 20 And whosoever lies carnally with a woman who is his bondmaid betrothed to a husband, and not yet redeemed nor given her freedom, an inquiry shall be made into their case; and they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, a ram for a trespass offering. 22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him. 23 And when you shall come into the land and shall have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall leave them for three years, and you shall not eat of their fruit. 24 And in the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy to praise the LORD withal. 25 And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield to you the increase thereof; I am the LORD your God. 26 You shall not eat blood; you shall not practice divination with birds, nor shall you consult an oracle. 27 You shall not let the hair of your heads grow, neither shall you trim the corners of your beard. 28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor inscribe any marks upon you; I am the LORD. 29 You shall not permit your daughter to become a whore, lest the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness.""
30 ¶ You shall keep my commandments and reverence my sanctuary; I am the LORD. 31 You shall not go after diviners, neither after the soothsayers, nor shall you consult them to be defiled by them; I am the LORD your God. 32 You shall rise up before an elder and honor the person who is older than you and revere your God; I am the LORD your God. 33 And when a proselyte sojourns with you in your land, you shall not wrong him; 34 But let him be among you as one of you; and the proselytes who sojourn among you, you must love them as yourselves; for you also were sojourners in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. 35 You shall do no injustices in judgment, in balances, in weight, or in measure. 36 You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin; I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore you shall keep all my commandments and all my judgments, and do them; I am the LORD.""
20:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Say to the children of Israel, Any man of the children of Israel or of the proselytes who sojourn in Israel who shall cast any of his semen into an alien woman, he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 And I will pour out my anger against that man and will cut him off from among his people; because he has cast his semen into an alien woman to defile my sanctuary and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do in any way ignore the offense of the man who has cast of his semen into an alien woman, that they may not kill him, 5 Then I will set my anger against that man and against his family, and will cut him off and all who go astray after him, because they go astray after alien women from among their people. 6 And the person that goes after diviners and soothsayers to go astray after them, I will pour out my anger against that person and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God. 8 You shall keep my commandments and do them; I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 9 And he who curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.""
10 ¶ And the man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And the man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12 And if a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death, because they have committed a sin; their blood shall be upon them. 13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14 And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness; they shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. 15 And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death and the beast shall be stoned. 16 And if a woman approaches any beast and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and be intimate with her and she be intimate with him, it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; they shall suffer for their iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her menstruation and shall be intimate with her, he has uncovered her fountain and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 And you shall not be intimate with your mother’s sister nor your father’s sister; for he uncovers the nakedness of his near kin; they shall suffer for their iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall suffer for their sin; they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an iniquity, for he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.""
22 ¶ You shall therefore keep all my commandments and all my judgments and do them, that the land whither I bring you to dwell therein may not be bereaved of you. 23 And you shall not walk in the manners of the nations which I am casting out before you; for they committed all these things, and therefore I was grieved by them. 24 But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I am the LORD your God who have separated you from other peoples. 25 You shall therefore make a distinction between clean beasts and unclean, and between clean fowls and unclean; and you shall not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26 And you shall be holy to me; for I the LORD am holy and have separated you from other peoples, that you should be mine. 27 A man or a woman who is a diviner, or soothsayer shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.""
21:1 ¶ THE LORD said to Moses, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron and say to them, There shall none of you defile himself by mourning for the dead among his people, 2 Except for his kin who is near to him, that is, for his father and for his mother and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother, 3 And for his virgin sister, who is near to him, who had no husband; for her he may defile himself. 4 But he shall not defile himself for the prince of his people, lest he profane himself. 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. 6 But they shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of the LORD made by fire and the bread of their God they do offer; therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not marry a harlot or an unclean woman; neither shall they marry a woman who has been put away from her husband; for he is holy to his God. 8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God; he shall be holy to you; for he is holy, because I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 9 And the daughter of any priest, when she starts playing the whore, she profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire.""
10 ¶ And the priest who is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the vestments, shall not shave his head nor rend his clothes; 11 Neither shall he go near any dead body, nor defile himself by mourning for his father or for his mother; 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 the LORD. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow or a woman who is put away or one who is defiled by whoredom, these he shall not take; but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15 Neither shall he profane his descendants among his people; for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.""
16 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17 Speak to Aaron and say to him, Whosoever he be of your descendants throughout their generations who has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For any man who has a blemish, he shall not approach: a lame man or a blind man or one whose nose is cut off or one who is deprived of ears 19 Or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand 20 Or crooked back or is a dwarf or whose eyebrows have fallen or whose eyes are dimmed or has cataract in his eyes or has leprosy or a hunchback or has one testicle; 21 No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire; for he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy. 23 But he shall not go in to the veil nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish, that he may not profane my sanctuary; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them. 24 So Moses told it to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.""
22:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Say to Aaron and to his sons, that they may keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel and that they may not profane my holy name in those things which they hallow to me; I am the LORD, 3 Say to them, Whosoever he be of all your descendants throughout your generations who approaches to the holy things which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from my presence; I am the LORD. 4 Any man of the descendants of Aaron who is a leper or has a discharge, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whosoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has an emission of semen, 5 Or whoever touches any creeping thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has, 6 Any person who touches him shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his food. 8 That which has been torn by wild beasts, he shall not eat that he may not defile himself by it; I am the LORD. 9 They shall therefore keep my ordinances, lest they bear sins for it and die because of them, if they had profaned themselves; I am the LORD who sanctifies them.""
10 ¶ There shall no alien eat of the holy things; a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if a priest buys any person with his money, he shall eat of his food, and those that are born in his house shall eat of his food. 12 If a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she also may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13 But if a priest’s daughter has become a widow or is divorced, and has no children, and shall return to her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s food; but no stranger shall ever eat of it. 14 And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add a fifth part thereof to it and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing. 15 And the children of Israel shall not profane the holy things which they offer to the LORD; 16 And thus shall suffer for the iniquity and sins, when they eat of their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.""
17 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18 Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Any one of the house of Israel and of the proselytes who dwell in Israel that will offer his offering for all their vows and for all their freewill offerings which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering, 19 You shall offer acceptable ones, a male without blemish, of the herds or of the lambs or of the goats. 20 But whatsoever has a blemish, that you shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering from oxen or from goats, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it. 22 Any blind animal or broken or scabbed or maimed or scurvy, you shall not offer to the LORD nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the LORD. 23 A bullock or a lamb which has the ear or the tail cut off you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 You shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, cut off, or broken; neither shall you make such offerings in your land. 25 Neither from a stranger’s hand shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because they are corrupt and there is blemish in them; they shall not be accepted from you. 26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27 When a bullock or a lamb or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its dam; and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 And whether it be a cow or a sheep, you shall not slaughter it and its young both in one day. 29 And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall offer it in an acceptable manner. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until morning; I am the LORD. 31 Therefore you shall keep my commandments and do them; I am the LORD. 32 Neither shall you profane my holy name, which is holy among the children of Israel; I am the LORD who sanctifies you, 33 Who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD.""
23:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are my feasts. 3 Six days you shall do work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, it shall be holy to the LORD; you shall do no work thereon; it is the sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.""
4 ¶ These are the feasts of the LORD, even the holy convocations which you shall proclaim in their seasons: 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD’S passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of the unleavened bread to the LORD; for seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work thereon. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work thereon. 9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land which I give to you and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest; 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD to be accepted for you; on the morrow the priest shall wave it. 12 You shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a male lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering to the LORD. 13 And its meal offering shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet savour; and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, a fourth part of a hin. 14 And you shall eat neither bread nor parched wheat nor green ears until that same day, until the day when you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.""
15 ¶ And you shall count to you from the morrow, that is, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete; 16 Even to the morrow after the seventh sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a meal offering of new wheat to the LORD. 17 You shall bring out of your dwellings two wave loaves of two tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the first-fruits to the LORD. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year and one young bullock and two rams; they shall be for a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal offering and their drink offering made by fire, an offering for a sweet savour to the LORD. 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offering. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs; they shall be holy before the LORD for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the same day, that it may be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no manner of work thereon; it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your fields to their very corners, neither shall you gather any gleaning of your harvest; but you shall leave them to the poor and to the proselytes; I am the LORD your God.""
23 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, The seventh month on the first day of the month shall be to you a day of rest, and a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no manner of work thereon; but you shall offer an offering by fire to the LORD. 26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, Also the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall humble yourselves and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 And you shall do no work on this same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29 For whatever person it be who does not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30 And whatever person it be who does any work on this same day, the same person will I destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It is the sabbath of sabbaths to you, and you shall humble yourselves; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, shall you keep your sabbaths.""
33 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month you shall keep the feast of tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. 35 The first day shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no manner of work thereon. 36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD; the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD; and you shall be assembled together; and you shall do no manner of work thereon. 37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer on them offerings made by fire to the LORD, burnt offerings and a meal offering and drink offerings and sacrifices, as it is due on each day; 38 Besides the sabbaths of the LORD, and besides your offerings, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD. 39 But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD for seven days; on the first day shall be suspension of labor, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruits of goodly trees, citron, branches of palm trees, myrtle, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days, all the people of the house of Israel. 41 And you shall keep this feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It is a statute for ever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in huts seven days; all the house of Israel shall dwell in huts, 43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in huts when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. 44 And Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.""
24:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel to bring to you pure olive oil, beaten, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron set them in order from the evening to the morning before the LORD continually; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations. 4 He shall set the lamps in order upon the large candlestick before the LORD continually. 5 And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. 6 And you shall set them in order in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense upon each row before the LORD, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD. 8 On the sabbath day Aaron shall set them in order before the LORD continually, as a gift from the children of Israel for an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is a most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.""
10 ¶ And the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel quarreled in the camp; 11 And the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the LORD and cursed it. And they brought him to Moses (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan), 12 And they put him in prison, till the LORD’S decision might be made known to them. 13 And the LORD spoke to Moses and said to him, 14 Bring outside the camp him who has cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curses his God shall suffer for his sin. 16 And he who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall surely stone him; the proselyte as well as the Israelite, when he blasphemes my name, shall be put to death. 17 And he who kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18 And he who kills a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. 19 And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him; 20 Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused a blemish in his neighbor, so shall it be done to him. 21 And he who kills a beast shall restore it; and he who kills a man shall be put to death. 22 You shall have one manner of justice; as for a proselyte, so for an Israelite; for I am the LORD your God. 23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him who had cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones and he died. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.""
25:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses on mount Sinai, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you for an inheritance, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD. 3 Six years you shall sow your fields and six years you shall prune your vineyards and six years you shall gather in your produce; 4 But the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, and it shall be to you a sabbath for the LORD; you shall neither sow your fields nor prune your vineyards. 5 That which grows of itself of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your undressed vine; for it is the year of rest to the land. 6 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you, for yourself and for your servants and for your maids and for your hired laborers and for the stranger that sojourns with you 7 And for your cattle and for the beasts that are in your land shall all its increase be for food to you.""
8 ¶ And you shall count seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement shall you sound the trumpet throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his own possession, and you shall return every man to his family. 11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you; you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes from the undressed vine. 12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat the produce out of the field. 13 In this year of jubilee you shall return every man to his own possession. 14 And if you sell to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not defraud one another: 15 According to the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of the produce he shall sell to you; 16 In proportion to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and in proportion to the fewness of years you shall decrease the price of it; for according to the number of the years of produce does he sell to you. 17 You shall not therefore defraud one another; but you shall fear your God; for I am the LORD your God. 18 Wherefore you shall do my commandments and keep my judgments and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety. 20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? For we shall not sow, nor gather in the produce thereof; 21 Then I will send my blessings upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22 And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat yet of old produce until the ninth year; until the new produce comes in, you shall eat of the old produce.""
23 ¶ Surely the land shall not be sold outright; for the land is mine; you are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his possession, then his nearest kin shall come and redeem that which his brother has sold. 26 And if the man has no one to redeem it, and himself has sufficient means and is able to redeem it, 27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof and refund the overplus to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession. 28 But if he cannot afford to pay him back, then that which he sold shall remain secure in the hand of him who has bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession. 29 If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year he may redeem it. 30 And if it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be confirmed for ever to him who bought it throughout his generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no walls round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the jubilee. 32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses which are in the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have the right to redeem for ever. 33 And if a man purchases of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall be released in the year of jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possessions among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 35 And if your brother becomes poor and stretches out his hand for help, you shall not look upon him as a stranger or a sojourner; he shall live with you. 36 You shall not take a discount of him or usury; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you. 37 You shall not lend him your money with a discount nor give him your food with usury. 38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.""
39 ¶ And if your brother becomes poor and be sold to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant; 40 But as a hired laborer, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the year of jubilee; 41 And then he shall depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42 For they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43 You shall not compel them to do hard work; but shall fear your God. 44 But as for your male servants and your female servants whom you may have from among the people that are round about you, of them shall you buy bondmen and bondwomen. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers who have sojourned among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they shall be your possession. 46 And you shall bequeath them to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; you may make slaves of them for ever; but as for your brethren the children of Israel, you shall not compel them to do hard work. 47 And if a sojourner or stranger who dwells with you becomes rich, and your brother who dwells with him becomes poor and is sold to the stranger or sojourner who dwells with you or to a native born of the stranger’s family who dwells with you, 48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him; 49 Either his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him, or any of his near kin belonging to his family may redeem him; or if he can afford it, he may redeem himself. 50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was sold him to the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him. 51 If there are still many years remaining, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 52 And if there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53 As a yearly hired servant shall he be with him; and he shall not subject him to hard labor in your sight. 54 And if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he and his children with him. 55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.""
26:1 ¶ YOU shall make for yourselves no idols nor graven images, neither shall you erect obelisks for yourselves, nor shall you set up any image of stones in your land to bow down to them or worship them; for I am the LORD your God. 2 You shall keep my commandments and reverence my sanctuary; I am the LORD. 3 If you walk in my statutes and keep my commandments and do them, 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall last to the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in your land, and you shall lie down and none shall make you afraid; and I will rid vicious beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall pursue ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 For I will return to you and make you great and multiply you and establish my covenant with you. 10 And you shall eat grain which has been stored, and bring forth the old grain before the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you; and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people. 13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.""
14 ¶ But if you will not hearken to me and will not do all these commandments, 15 And if you despise my laws, or if your soul abhor my judgments so that you will not do all my commandments, and make my covenant of no effect; 16 I also will do this to you: I will visit you with terror, leprosy, scab, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes and cause life to waste away; and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will pour out my anger against you, and you shall be defeated before your enemies; they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursue you. 18 And if you will not yet for all these things hearken to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven like iron and your earth like brass; 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 fruits. 21 And if you walk contrary to me and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 22 I will also send wild beasts against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. 23 And if by these things you shall not be disciplined, but continue to walk contrary to me; 24 Then I also will walk contrary to you and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, which shall avenge the breaking of the covenant; and you shall flee to your cities; I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 And when I have broken the staff of your grain, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread by weight; and you shall eat and not be satisfied. 27 And if you will not for all these things hearken to me, but walk contrary to me; 28 Then I will also walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat. 30 And I will destroy your high places and break your idols and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will make your cities waste and reduce your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odors. 32 And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33 I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and will draw out a sword against you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34 Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt upon it. 36 And as for those who are left among you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursues them. 37 And they shall stumble one after another, as it were from the sword, when none pursues them; and they shall have no power to stand before their enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you. 39 And those of you who are left shall pine away in their iniquity in their enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquity of their fathers shall they pine away with them.""
40 ¶ If they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their wickedness with which they transgressed against me, and also that they have walked contrary to me; 41 And that I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; and if then their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, and they then shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; 42 Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity because they have despised my judgments and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies I will not abhor them, neither will I cast them away to destroy them utterly, nor have I nullified my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God. 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, and I became their God; I am the LORD. 46 These are the commandments and laws and judgments which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.""
27:1 ¶ AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying. 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them. When a man makes a special vow with the price of persons to the LORD, 3 Then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And if it is a female, then her valuation shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if it is from five years old up to twenty years old, then the valuation of the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if it is from a month old up to five years old, then the valuation of males shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver. 7 And if it is from sixty years old and up, if it is a male, his valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he is poorer than the valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of the person who vowed shall the priest value him. 9 And if it is an animal whereof men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD shall be holy. 10 He shall not exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall at all exchange an animal for an animal, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy to the LORD. 11 And if it is an unclean animal of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest; 12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; and as the priest values it, so shall it be. 13 But if he wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part to its valuation.""
14 ¶ And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad, and as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 15 And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of the money of its estimation to it, and it shall be his. 16 And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then its valuation shall be according to the seed thereof; about ten ephahs of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to its estimation so it shall stand. 18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and he shall deduct from its valuation. 19 And if the man who sanctifies the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the money of the valuation to it, and it shall be his. 20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he sell it to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 21 But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; its possession shall be the priest’s. 22 And if a man sanctifies to the LORD a field which he has bought, which was not a field of his inheritance, 23 Then the priest shall reckon the valuation thereof until the year of jubilee; and he shall give the price of the valuation thereof in that day as a holy thing to the LORD. 24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the inheritance of the land did belong. 25 And all the valuations thereof shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.""
26 ¶ But the firstling of an animal, which should be the LORD’S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD’S. 27 And if it is of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to its valuation, and shall add a fifth part to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to its valuation. 28 But every devoted thing that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, both of man and beast and of the field of his inheritance, shall not be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD. 29 Every devoted thing which shall be devoted by men shall not be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death. 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’S; it is holy to the LORD. 31 And if a man wishes to redeem some of his tithes, he shall add to it a fifth part thereof. 32 And all the tithe of the herd or of the flock, even of whatever passes under the shepherd’s staff, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD. 33 He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 34 These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai."
