  1. Leviticus Leviticus one. The Lord called Moses and spoke to

  2. him from the tentive meeting, saying.

  3. Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them.

  4. When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord,

  5. you shall bring your offering of livestock from the herd

  6. or from the flock. If his offering is a burnt

  7. offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish.

  8. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tentive meeting,

  9. that he may be accepted before the Lord. He shall

  10. lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering,

  11. and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement

  12. for him. Then he shall kill the bull before the

  13. Lord and Aaron's sons. The priest shall bring the blood

  14. and throw the blood against the sides of the altar

  15. that is at the entrance of the tentive meeting. Then

  16. he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into pieces,

  17. and the sons of Erin the priests shall put fire

  18. on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. And

  19. Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head

  20. and the fat on the wood that is on the

  21. fire on the altar, But its entrails and its legs

  22. he shall wash with water, and the priest shall burn

  23. all of it on the altar. As a burnt offering

  24. a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

  25. If his gift for a burnt offering is from the flock,

  26. from the sheep or goats, he shall bring a male

  27. without blemish, and he shall kill it on the north

  28. side of the altar before the Lord and Erin's sons.

  29. The priest shall throw its blood against the sides of

  30. the altar, and he shall cut it into pieces, with

  31. its head and its fat, and the priest shall arrange

  32. them on the wood that is on the fire on

  33. the altar. But the entrails and the legs he shall

  34. wash with water, and the priest shall offer all of

  35. it and burn it on the altar. It is a

  36. burnt offering, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to

  37. the Lord. If his offering to the Lord is a

  38. burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering

  39. of turtle, doves, or pigeons, and the priest shall bring

  40. it to the altar and wring off its head and

  41. burn it on the altar. Its blood shall be drained

  42. out on the side of the altar. He shall remove

  43. its crop with its contents, and cast it beside the

  44. altar on the east side, in the place for ashes.

  45. He shall tear it open by its wings, but shall

  46. not sever it completely, and the priest shall burn it

  47. on the altar on the wood that is on the fire.

  48. It is a burnt offering, a food offering with a

  49. pleasing aroma to the Lord.

  50. Leviticus Tube.

  51. When anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to

  52. the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. He

  53. shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it,

  54. and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests, and he

  55. shall take from it a handful of the fine flour

  56. and oil with all of its frankencense, And the priest

  57. shall burn this as its memorial portion on the altar,

  58. a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

  59. But the rest of the grain offering shall be for

  60. Aaron and his sons. It is a most holy part

  61. of the Lord's food offerings. When you bring a grain

  62. offering baked in the oven as an offering, it shall

  63. be unleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, or

  64. unleaven wafers smeared with oil. And if your offering is

  65. a grain offering baked on a griddle, it shall be

  66. of fine flour, unleaveded, mixed with oil. You shall break

  67. it in pieces and pour oil on it. It is

  68. a grain. And if your offering is a grain offering

  69. cooked in a pan, it shall be made of fine

  70. flour with oil. And you shall bring the grain offering

  71. that is made of these things to the Lord. And

  72. when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring

  73. it to the altar. And the priest shall take from

  74. the grain offering its memorial portion and burn this on

  75. the altar. A food offering with a pleasing aroma to

  76. the Lord. But the rest of the grain offering shall

  77. be for aaron and his sons. It is a most

  78. holy part of the Lord's food offerings. No grain offering

  79. that you bring to the Lord shall be made with leaven,

  80. for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey as

  81. a food offering to the Lord. As an offering of

  82. first ruse, you may bring them to the Lord, but

  83. they shall not be offered on the altar for a

  84. pleasing aroma. You shall season all your grain offerings with salt.

  85. You shall not let the salt of the covenant with

  86. your God be missing from your grain offering. With all

  87. your offerings, you shall offer salt. If you offer a

  88. grain offering of first fruits to the Lord, you shall

  89. offer for the grain offering of your first fruits, fresh ears,

  90. roasted with fire, crushed new grain, and you shall put

  91. oil on it and lay frankincense on it. It is

  92. a grain offering, and the priest shall burn as its

  93. memorial portion some of the crust grain and some of

  94. the oil, with all of its frankincense. It is a

  95. food offering to the Lord.

  96. Leviticus three.

  97. If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if

  98. he offers an animal from the herd, male or female,

  99. he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord, and

  100. he shall lay his hand on the head of his

  101. offering and kill it. At the entrance of the ten meeting,

  102. and Aaron's sons, the priests shall throw the blood against

  103. the sides of the altar, and from the sacrifice of

  104. the peace offering, as a food offering to the Lord,

  105. he shall offer the fat covering the entrails, and all

  106. the fat that is on the entrails, and the two kidneys,

  107. with the fat that is on them at the loins,

  108. and the long lobe of the liver that he shall

  109. remove with the kidneys. Then Erin's sons shall burn it

  110. on the altar on top of the burnt offering which

  111. is on the wood on the fire. It is a

  112. food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. If

  113. his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the

  114. Lord is an animal from the flock, male or female,

  115. he shall offer it without blemish. If he offers a

  116. lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before

  117. the Lord, lay his hand on the head of his offering,

  118. and kill it in front of the tint of meeting,

  119. and Aaron's sons shall throw its blood against the sides

  120. of the altar. Then from the sacrifice of the peace

  121. offering he shall offer as a food offering to the

  122. Lord it's fat. He shall remove the whole fat taily

  123. cut off close to the backbone, and the fat that

  124. covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on

  125. the entrails, and the two kidneys with the fat that

  126. is on them at the loins, and the long lobe

  127. of the liver, that he shall remove with the kidneys,

  128. and the priest shall burn it on the altar as

  129. a food offering to the Lord. If his offering is

  130. a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord

  131. and lay his hand on its head, and kill it

  132. in front of the tentive meeting, and the sons of

  133. Aaron shall throw its blood against the sides of the altar.

  134. Then he shall offer from it as his offering for

  135. a food offering to the Lord, the fat covering the entrails,

  136. and all the fat that is on the entrails, and

  137. the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them

  138. at the loins, and the long lobe of the liver,

  139. that he shall remove with the kidneys, and the priest

  140. shall burn them on the altar as a food offering

  141. with a pleasing aroma. All fat is the Lord's.

  142. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, in

  143. all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.

  144. Leviticus four. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying.

  145. Speak to the people of Israel, saying if anyone sins

  146. unintentionally in any of the Lord's commandments about things not

  147. to be done, and does any one of them.

  148. If it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing

  149. guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the

  150. sin that he has committed, a bull from the herd

  151. without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering. He

  152. shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tentive

  153. meeting before the Lord, and lay his hand on the

  154. head of the bull, and kill the bull before the Lord,

  155. and the anointed Priest shall take some of the blood

  156. of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting,

  157. And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood

  158. and sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the

  159. Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary. And

  160. the priest shall put some of the blood on the

  161. horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord,

  162. that is in the tent of meeting, And all the

  163. rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour

  164. out at the base of the altar of burnt offering,

  165. that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

  166. And all the fat of the bull of the sin

  167. offering he shall remove from it the fat that covers

  168. the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,

  169. and the two kidneys with the fat that is on

  170. them at the loins, and the long lobe of the liver,

  171. that he shall remove with the kidneys, just as these

  172. are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the

  173. peace offerings, and the priest shall burn them on the

  174. altar of burnt offering. But the skin of the bull

  175. and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails,

  176. and it's dung. All the rest of the bull he

  177. shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, to

  178. the ash heap, and shall burn it up on a

  179. fire of wood on the ash heap. It shall be

  180. burned up. If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally,

  181. and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the Assembly,

  182. and they do any one of the things that by

  183. the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, and they

  184. realize their guilt when the sin which they have committed

  185. becomes known, the Assembly shall offer a bull from the

  186. herd for a sin offering, and bring it in front

  187. of the tent of meeting, and the elders of the

  188. congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the

  189. bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be killed

  190. before the Lord. Then the anointed priest shall bring some

  191. of the blood of the bull into the tent of beating,

  192. and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood

  193. and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front

  194. of the vailure. And he shall put some of the

  195. blood on the horns of the altar that is in

  196. the tent of meeting before the Lord, and the rest

  197. of the blood he shall pour out at the base

  198. of the altar of burnt offering, that is at the

  199. entrance of the tent of meeting, and all it's fat

  200. he shall take from it and burn on the altar.

  201. Thus shall he do with the bull as he did

  202. with the bull of the sin offering. So shall he

  203. do with this, and the priests shall make atonement for them,

  204. and they shall be forgiven him. And he shall carry

  205. the bull outside the camp and burn it up as

  206. he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering

  207. for the assembly. When a leader sends doing unintentionally any

  208. one of all the things that, by the commandments of

  209. the Lord his God, ought not to be done, and

  210. realizes his guilt or the sin which he has committed

  211. is made known to him. He shall bring as his

  212. offering a goat a male without blemish, and shall lay

  213. his hand on the head of the goat and kill

  214. it in the place where they kill the burnt offering

  215. before the Lord. It is a sin offering, then the

  216. priest shall take some of the blood of the sin

  217. offering with his finger and put it on the horns

  218. of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the

  219. rest of its blood at the base of the altar

  220. of burnt offering, and all its fat he shall burn

  221. on the altar like the fat of the sacrifice of

  222. peace offerings. So the priest shall make atonement for him

  223. for his sin, and he shall be forgiven. If any

  224. one of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any

  225. one of the things that, by the Lord's commandments ought

  226. not to be done, and realizes his guilt or the

  227. sin which he has committed is made known to him,

  228. he shall bring for his offering a goat a female

  229. without blemish, for his sin which he has committed, and

  230. he shall lay his hand on the head of the

  231. sin offering and kill the sin offering in the place

  232. of burnt offering, and the priest shall take some of

  233. its blood with his finger and put it on the

  234. horn of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out

  235. all the rest of its blood at the base of

  236. the altar, And all its fat he shall remove, as

  237. the fat is removed from the peace offerings, and the

  238. priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing

  239. aroma to the Lord. And the priest shall make atonement

  240. for him, and he shall be forgiven. If he brings

  241. a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he

  242. shall bring a female without blemish, and lay his hand

  243. on the head of the sin offering, and kill it

  244. for a sin offering in the place where they killed

  245. the burnt offering. Then the priest shall take some of

  246. the blood of the sin offering with his finger and

  247. put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering,

  248. and pour on all the rest of its blood at

  249. the base of the altar, And all it's fat he

  250. shall remove, as the fat of the lamb is removed

  251. from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall

  252. burn it on the altar on top of the lord's

  253. food offerings, and the priest shall make atonement for him

  254. for the sin which he has committed, and he shall

  255. be forgiven.

  256. Leviticus five.

  257. If anyone sends in that he hears a public adjuration

  258. to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he

  259. has seen or come to know the matter, yet does

  260. not speak, he shall bear his iniquity. Or if anyone

  261. touches an unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean

  262. wild animal, or a carcass of unclean livestock, or a

  263. carcass of unclean swarming things, and it is hidden from him,

  264. and he has become unclean, and he realizes his guilt,

  265. Or if he touches human uncleanness of whatever sort the

  266. uncleanness may be, with which one becomes unclean, and it

  267. is hidden from him when he comes to know it

  268. and realizes his guilt. Or if if anyone utters with

  269. his lips a rash oath to do evil or to

  270. do good, any sort of rash oath that people swear,

  271. and it is hidden from him when he comes to

  272. know it, and he realizes his guilt in any of these,

  273. When he realizes his guilt in any of these, and

  274. confesses the sin he has committed. He shall bring to

  275. the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he

  276. has committed a female from the flock, a lamb or

  277. a goat for a sin offering, and the priest shall

  278. make atonement for him for his sin. But if he

  279. cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the

  280. Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed,

  281. two turtle doves or two pigeons, one for a sin

  282. offering and the other for a burnt offering. He shall

  283. bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the

  284. one for the sin offering. He shall wring its head

  285. from its neck, but shall not sever it completely, and

  286. he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin

  287. offering on the side of the altar, while the rest

  288. of the blood shall be drained out at the base

  289. of the altar. It is a sin offering, then he

  290. shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to

  291. the rule, and the priest shall make atonement for him

  292. for the sin that he has committed, and he shall

  293. be forgiven. But if he cannot afford two turtle doves

  294. or two pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering

  295. for the sin that he has committed a tenth of

  296. an ephah of fine flour. For a sin offering, he

  297. shall put no oil on it, and shall put no

  298. frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering, And

  299. he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest

  300. shall take a handful of it as its memorial portion,

  301. and burn this on the altar on the Lord's food offerings.

  302. It is a sin offering. Thus the priest shall make

  303. atonement for him for the sin which he has committed

  304. in any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven,

  305. and the remainder shall be for the priest, as in

  306. the grain offering.

  307. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, if anyone commits a

  308. breach of faith and sends unintentionally in any of the

  309. holy things of the Lord.

  310. He shall bring to the Lord as his compensation a

  311. ram without blemish, out of the flock, valued in silver

  312. shekels according to the shekel of the sanctuary. For a

  313. guilt offering, he shall also make restitution for what he

  314. has done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add

  315. a fifth to it and give it to the priest,

  316. And the priest shall make atonement for him with the

  317. ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

  318. If anyone sins doing any of the things that, by

  319. the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, though he

  320. did not know it, then realizes his guilt, he shall

  321. bear his iniquity. He shall bring to the priest a

  322. ram without blemish out of the flock or its equivalent,

  323. for a guilt offering, and the priest shall make atonement

  324. for him for the mistake that he made unintentionally, and

  325. he shall be forgiven. It is a guilt offering. He

  326. has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.

  327. Leviticus sicks. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  328. If anyone sins and commits a breach of faith against

  329. the Lord by deceiving his neighbor.

  330. In a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery,

  331. or if he has oppressed his neighbor, or has found

  332. something lost and lied about it, swearing falsely in any

  333. of all the things that people do and sin thereby,

  334. if he has sinned and has realized his guilt, and

  335. will restore what he took by robbery, or what he

  336. got by oppression, or the deposit that was committed to him,

  337. or the lost thing that he found, or anything about

  338. which he has sworn falsely. He shall restore it in full,

  339. and shall add a fifth to it, and give it

  340. to him to whom it belongs, on the day he

  341. realizes his guilt, and he shall bring to the priest

  342. as his compensation to the Lord a ram without blemish

  343. out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering.

  344. And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord,

  345. and he shall be forgiven for any of the things

  346. that one may do, and thereby become guilty.

  347. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, command Aaron and his son,

  348. saying this is the law of the burnt offering.

  349. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the

  350. altar all night until the morning, and the fire of

  351. the altar shall be kept burning on it. And the

  352. priest shall put on his linen garment and put his

  353. linen undergarment on his body, and he shall take up

  354. the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt

  355. offering on the altar and put them beside the ear altar.

  356. Then he shall take off his garments and put on

  357. other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to

  358. a clean place. The fire on the altar shall be

  359. kept burning on it. It shall not go out. The

  360. priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he

  361. shall arrange the burnt offering on it, and shall burn

  362. on it the fat of the peace offerings. Fire shall

  363. be kept burning on the altar continually. It shall not

  364. go out. And this is the law of the grain offering.

  365. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord

  366. in front of the altar, and one shall take from

  367. it a handful of the fine flower of the grain

  368. offering and its oil, and all the frank incense that

  369. is on the grain offering, and burn this as its

  370. memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

  371. And the rest of it Aaron and his son shall eat.

  372. It shall be eaten unleavened, in a holy place in

  373. the court of the tint of meeting. They shall eat it.

  374. It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given

  375. it as their portion of my food offerings. It is

  376. a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the

  377. guilt offering. Every male among the children of Arin may

  378. eat of it, as decreed forever throughout your generations. From

  379. the Lord's food offerings, whatever touches them shall become holy.

  380. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  381. This is the offering that Arin and his son shall

  382. offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed.

  383. A tent of an ephah of fine flour, as a

  384. regular grain offering. Half of it in the morning and

  385. half in the evening. It shall be made with oil

  386. on a griddle. You shall bring it well mixed in

  387. baked pieces, like a grain offering, and offer it for

  388. a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The priest from among

  389. Arin's sons, who is anointed to success eat him, shall

  390. offer it to the Lord, as decreed forever, the whole

  391. of it shall be burned. Every grain offering of a

  392. priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.

  393. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  394. Speak to Aaron and his son, saying, this is the

  395. law of the sin offering. In the place where the

  396. burnt offering is killed. Shall the sin offering be killed

  397. before the Lord. It is most holy.

  398. The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it

  399. in a holy place. It shall be eaten in the

  400. court of the tent of meeting. Whatever touches its flesh

  401. shall be holy. And when any of its blood is

  402. splashed on a garment, you shall wash that on which

  403. it was splashed in a holy place, and the earth

  404. and where vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken.

  405. But if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that

  406. shall be scoured and rinsed in water. Every male among

  407. the priests may eat of it is most holy. But

  408. no scent offering shall be eaten from which any blood

  409. is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement

  410. in the holy place, it shall be burned up with fire.

  411. Leviticus Sabineth.

  412. This is the law of the guilt offering. It is

  413. most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt offering,

  414. they shall kill the gilt offering, and its blood shall

  415. be thrown against the sides of the altar, and all

  416. its fats shall be offered, the fat tail, the fat

  417. that covers the entrails, the two kidneys, with the fat

  418. that is on them at the loins, and the long

  419. lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys.

  420. The priests shall burn them on the altar as a

  421. food offering to the Lord. It is a gilt offering.

  422. Every male among the priests may eat of it. It

  423. shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

  424. The guilt offering is just like the sin offering. There

  425. is one law for him. The priest who makes atonement

  426. with it shall have it. And the priest who offers

  427. any man's burnt offering shall have for himself the skin

  428. of the burnt offering that he has offered. And every

  429. grain offering baked in the oven, and all that is

  430. prepared on a pan or a griddle shall belong to

  431. the priest who offers it. And every grain offering mixed

  432. with oil or dry shall be shared equally among all

  433. the sons of Erin. And this is the law of

  434. the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to

  435. the Lord. If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then

  436. he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleven loaves mixed

  437. with oil, unleven wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of

  438. fine flour well mixed with oil. With this sacrifice of

  439. his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall bring his offering

  440. with loaves of leaven bread and from it. He shall

  441. offer one loaf from each offering as a gift to

  442. the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who throws

  443. the blood of the peace offerings, and the flesh of

  444. the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be

  445. eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not

  446. leave any of it until the morning. But if the

  447. sacrifice of his offering is a vow offering or a

  448. free will offering, it shall be eaten on the day

  449. that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day

  450. what remains of it shall be eaten. But what remains

  451. of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day

  452. shall be burned up with fire. If any of the

  453. flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten

  454. on the third day, he who offers it shall not

  455. be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him. It

  456. is tainted, and he who eats of it shall bear

  457. his iniquity. Flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not

  458. be eaten. It shall be burned up with fire. All

  459. who are clean may eat flesh, But the person who

  460. eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the Lord's

  461. peace offerings while an uncleanness is on him, that person

  462. shall be cut off from his people. And if anyone

  463. touches an unclean thing, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean beast,

  464. or any unclean detestable creature, and then eat some flesh

  465. from the sacrifice of the Lord's peace offerings, that person

  466. shall be cut off from his people.

  467. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  468. Speak to the people of Israel, saying, you shall eat

  469. no fat of ox or sheep, or goat.

  470. The fat of an animal that dies of itself, and

  471. the fat of one that is torn by beasts may

  472. be put to any other use, but on no account

  473. shall you eat it. For every person who eats of

  474. the fat of an animal of which a food offering

  475. may be made to the Lord shall be cut off

  476. from his people. Moreover, you shall eat no blood, whatever,

  477. whether of foul or of animal, in any of your

  478. dwelling places. Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be

  479. cut off from his people.

  480. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  481. Speak to the people of Israel, saying, whoever offers the

  482. sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring

  483. his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his

  484. peace offerings.

  485. His own hands shall bring the Lord's food offerings. He

  486. shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast

  487. may be waived as a wave offering before the Lord.

  488. The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, But

  489. the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons. And

  490. the right nigh you shall give to the priest as

  491. a contribution from the sacrifice of your peace offerings. Whoever

  492. among the sons of Aaron offers the blood of the

  493. peace offerings and the fat, shall have the right thigh

  494. for a portion for the breast that is waived, and

  495. the thigh that has contributed. I have taken from the

  496. people of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings,

  497. and have given them to Erin the Priest and to

  498. his sons, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel.

  499. This is the portion of Aaron and of his sons

  500. from the Lord's food offerings, from the day they were

  501. presented to serve as priests of the Lord. The Lord

  502. commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel,

  503. from the day that he anointed them. It is a

  504. perpetual due throughout their generations.

  505. This is the law of the burnt offering, of the

  506. grain offering, of the sin offering, of the guilt offering,

  507. of the ordination offering, and of the peace offering, which

  508. the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day

  509. that he commanded the people of Israel to bring their

  510. offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai Leviticus Ate.

  511. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  512. Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments,

  513. and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering,

  514. and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

  515. and assembled all the congregation at the entrance of the

  516. tent of meeting.

  517. And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. And the

  518. congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

  519. And Moses said to the congregation, this.

  520. Is the thing that the Lord has commanded to be done.

  521. And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them

  522. with water. And he put the coat on him, and

  523. tied the sash around his waist, and clothed him with

  524. the robe, and put the ephod on him, and tied

  525. the skillfully woven band of the ephod around him, binding

  526. it to him with the band, and he placed the

  527. breast piece on him, and in the breast piece he

  528. put the urim and the thummum. And he set the

  529. turban on his head, and on the turban in front,

  530. he set the golden plate, the Holy Crown, as the

  531. Lord commanded Moses. Then Moses took the anointing oil and

  532. anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it and

  533. consecrated them. And he sprinkled some of it on the

  534. altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils,

  535. and the basin and its stand to consecrate them. And

  536. he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head

  537. and anointed him to consecrate him. And Moses brought Aaron's

  538. sons and clothed them with coats and tied sashes around

  539. their waists and bound caps on them. As the Lord

  540. commanded Moses. Then he brought the bull of the sin offering,

  541. and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the

  542. head of the Bull of the sin offering, and he

  543. killed it. And Moses took the blood and with his

  544. finger put it on the horns of the altar around it,

  545. and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at

  546. the base of the altar, and consecrated it to make

  547. atonement for it. And he took all the fat that

  548. was on the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver,

  549. and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned

  550. them on the altar. But the bull and its skin,

  551. and its flesh and its dung he burned up with

  552. fire outside the camp. As the Lord commanded Moses. Then

  553. he presented the Ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron

  554. and his sons laid their hands on the head of

  555. the ram, and he killed it, and Moses threw the

  556. blood against the sides of the altar. He cut the

  557. ram into pieces, and Moses burned the head and the

  558. pieces and the fat. He washed the entrails and the

  559. legs with water, and Moses burned the whole ram on

  560. the altar. It was a burnt offering with a pleasing aroma,

  561. a food offering for the Lord. As the Lord commanded Moses,

  562. then he presented the other ram, the Ram of ordination,

  563. and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the

  564. head of the ram, and he killed it, and Moses

  565. took some of its blood and put it on the

  566. lobe of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of

  567. his right hand, and on the big toe of his

  568. right foot. Then he presented Aaron's sons, and Moses put

  569. some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears,

  570. and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on

  571. the big toes of their right beat. And Moses threw

  572. the blood against the sides of the altar. Then he

  573. took the fat and the fat tail, and all the

  574. fat that was on the entrails, and the long lobe

  575. of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat,

  576. and the right thigh, and out of the basket of

  577. unleavened bread that was before the Lord. He took one

  578. unleavened loaf and one loaf of bread with oil, and

  579. one wafer, and placed them on the pieces of fat

  580. and on the right thigh. And he put all these

  581. in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of

  582. his sons, and waved them as a wave offering before

  583. the Lord. Then Moses took them from their hands and

  584. burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This

  585. was an ordination offering with a pleasing aroma, a food

  586. offering to the Lord. And Moses took the breast and

  587. waved it for a wave offering before the Lord. It

  588. was moses portion of the ram of ordinayation, as the

  589. Lord commanded Moses. Then Moses took some of the anointing

  590. oil and of the blood that was on the altar

  591. and sprinkled it on Arin and his garments, and also

  592. on his sons and his son's garments. So he consecrated

  593. Arin and his garments, and his sons and his son's

  594. garments with him. And Moses said to Aaron and his sons,

  595. boil the.

  596. Flesh at the entrance of the tent of beating, and

  597. there eat it and the bread that is in the

  598. basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and

  599. his son shall eat it, and what remains of the

  600. flesh and the bread you shall burn up with fire.

  601. And you shall not go outside the entrance of the

  602. tent of beating for seven days until the days of

  603. your ordination are completed, For it will take seven days

  604. to ordain you as has been done today the Lord

  605. has commanded to be done to make atonement for you

  606. at the entrance of the tent of meeting. You shall

  607. remain day and night for seven days, performing what the

  608. Lord has charged, so that you do not die. For

  609. so I have been commanded.

  610. And Aaron and his sons did all the things that

  611. the Lord commanded by Moses Leviticus nine. On the eighth day,

  612. Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel,

  613. and he said to Aaron.

  614. Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering,

  615. and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish,

  616. and offer them before the Lord. And say to the

  617. people of Israel, take a male goat for a sin offering,

  618. and a calf and a lamb, both a year old

  619. without blemish for a burnt offering, and an ox and

  620. a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the Lord,

  621. and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today the

  622. Lord will appear to you.

  623. And they brought what Moses commanded in front of the

  624. tent of meeting, and all the congregation drew near and

  625. stood before the Lord.

  626. And Moses said, this is the thing that the Lord

  627. commanded you to do that the glory of the Lord

  628. may appear to you.

  629. Then Moses said to Aaron.

  630. Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering

  631. and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and

  632. for the people. And bring the offering of the people,

  633. and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded.

  634. So Aaron drew near to the altar and killed the

  635. calf of the sin offering, which was for himself, and

  636. the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and

  637. he dipped his finger in the blood and put it

  638. on the horn of the altar, and poured out the

  639. blood at the base of the altar. But the fat

  640. and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver

  641. from the sin offering he burned on the altar as

  642. the Lord commanded Moses. The flesh and the skin he

  643. burned up with fire outside the camp. Then he killed

  644. the burnt offering, and Aaron's sons handed him the blood,

  645. and he threw it against the sides of the altar,

  646. and they handed the burnt offering to him piece by peace,

  647. and the head, and he burned them on the altar.

  648. And he washed the entrails and the legs and burned

  649. them with the burnt offering on the altar. Then he

  650. presented the people's offering, and took the goat of the

  651. sin offering that was for the people, and killed it

  652. and offered it as a sin offering like the first one.

  653. And he presented the burnt offering and offered it according

  654. to the rule. And he presented the grain offering, took

  655. a handful of it and burned it on the altar,

  656. besides the burnt offering of the morning. Then he killed

  657. the ox and the ram the sacrifice of peace offerings

  658. for the people. And Aaron's sons handed him the blood,

  659. and he threw it against the sides of the altar.

  660. But the fat pieces of the ox and of the ram,

  661. the fat tail and that which covers the entrails and

  662. the kidneys, and the long lobe of the liver. They

  663. put the fat pieces on the breasts, and he burned

  664. the fat pieces on the altar. But the breasts and

  665. the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before

  666. the Lord, as Moses commanded. Then Aaron lifted up his

  667. hands toward the people and blessed them. And he came

  668. down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering,

  669. and the peace offerings, and Moses and Aaron went into

  670. the tent of meeting, and when they came out, they

  671. blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared

  672. to all the people. And fire came out from before

  673. the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces

  674. of fat on the altar. And when all the people

  675. saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces. Leviticus ten.

  676. Now Nadeb and abye Hu, the sons of Aaron, each

  677. took his censer and put fire in it, and laid

  678. incense on it, and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord,

  679. which he had not commanded them. And fire came out

  680. from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died

  681. before the Lord. And Moses said to Aaron, this.

  682. Is what the Lord has said. Among those who are

  683. near me, I will be said, and before all the people,

  684. I will be glorified.

  685. And Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Michel and Alzafan,

  686. the sons of Aziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said

  687. to them.

  688. Come near. Carry your brothers away from the front of

  689. the sanctuary and out of the camp.

  690. So they came near and carried them in their coats

  691. out of the camp, as Moses had said. And Moses

  692. said to Aaron and to Eliezer and Ithamar his sons, do.

  693. Not let the hair of your heads hang loose, and

  694. do not tear your clothes, lest you die, and wrath

  695. come upon all the congregations. But let your brothers the

  696. whole house of Israel bewail the burning that the Lord

  697. has kindled. And do not go outside the entrance of

  698. the tent of meeting lest you die, for the anointing

  699. oil of the Lord is upon you.

  700. And they did according to the word of Moses. And

  701. the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying.

  702. Drink no wine or strong drink you or your sons

  703. with you when you go into the tent of meeting,

  704. lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout

  705. your generations. You are to distinguish between the holy and

  706. the common, and between the unclean and the clean. And

  707. you are to teach the people of Israel all the

  708. statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by Moses.

  709. Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eliezer and Ithamar, is

  710. surviving sonns.

  711. Take the grain offering that is left of the Lord's

  712. food offerings, and eat it unleavened, beside the altar, for

  713. it is most holy. You shall eat it in a

  714. holy place, because it is your dew and your son's

  715. do from the Lord's food offerings, for so I am commanded.

  716. But the breast that is waved and the thigh that

  717. is contributed, you shall eat in a clean place. You

  718. and your sons and your daughters with you, for they

  719. are given as your do and your sons do from

  720. the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the people of Israel.

  721. The thigh that has contributed and the breast that is waved,

  722. they shall bring with the food offerings of the fat

  723. pieces to wave for a wave offering before the Lord,

  724. and it shall be yours and your sons with you

  725. as ad forever as the Lord has commanded.

  726. Now Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering,

  727. and behold it was burned up, and he was angry

  728. with Eliezer and Dithomar, the surviving sons of Aaron, saying why.

  729. Have you not eaten the sin offering in the place

  730. of the sanctuary, since it is a thing most holy

  731. and has been given to you, that you may bear

  732. the iniquity of the congregation to make atonement for them

  733. before the Lord. Behold, it's blood was not brought into

  734. the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly ought to

  735. have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

  736. And Aaron said to Moses.

  737. Behold, today they have offered their sin offering, and they're

  738. burnt offering before the Lord.

  739. And yet such things as these have happened to me.

  740. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the

  741. Lord have approved.

  742. And when Moses heard that, he approved Leviticus eleven. And

  743. the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them.

  744. Speak to the people of Israel, saying, these are the

  745. living things that you may eat among all the animals

  746. that are on the.

  747. Earth, whatever parts the hoof and is cloven footed, and

  748. choose the cud among the animals you may eat. Nevertheless,

  749. among those that chew the cud or part the hoof,

  750. you shall not eat these. The camel, because it choos

  751. the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean

  752. to you. And the rock badger because it choose the

  753. cud but does not part the.

  754. Hoof is unclean to you.

  755. And the hair, because it choose the cud but does

  756. not part the hoof, isn't clean to you. And the pig,

  757. because it parts the hoof and is cloven footed, but

  758. does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You

  759. shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall

  760. not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you. These

  761. you may eat of all that are in the waters.

  762. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether

  763. in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.

  764. But anything in the seas or the rivers that has

  765. not fins and s. Of the swarming creatures in the waters,

  766. and of the living creatures that are in the waters,

  767. is detestable to you. You shall regard them as detestable.

  768. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you

  769. shall detest their carcasses. Everything in the waters that has

  770. not fins and scales is detestable to you, And these

  771. you shall detest. Among the birds, they shall not be eaten.

  772. They are detestable. The eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

  773. the kite, the falcon of any kind, every raven of

  774. any kind, the ostrich, the nighthawk, the seagull, the hawk

  775. of any kind, the little owl, the cormorant, the short

  776. eared owl, the barn owl, the tawny owl, the carrion vulture,

  777. the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoo, and

  778. the bat. All winged insects that go on all fours

  779. are detestable to you. Yet among the winged insects that

  780. go on all fours, you may eat those that have

  781. jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on

  782. the ground. Of them, you may eat the locust of

  783. any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket

  784. of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. But

  785. all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable

  786. to you, And by these you shall become unclean. Whoever

  787. touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening, and

  788. whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his

  789. clothes and be unclean until the evening. Every animal that

  790. parts the hoof but is not cloven footed, or does

  791. not chew the cut, is unclean to you. Everyone who

  792. touches them shall be unclean, and all that walk on

  793. their paws. Among the animals that go on all fours

  794. are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be

  795. unclean until the evening. And he who carries their carcass

  796. shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

  797. They are uncleaned you, And these are unclean to you.

  798. Among the swarming things that swarm on the ground, the mole, rat,

  799. the mouse, the great lizard of any kind, the gecko,

  800. the monitor lizard, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon,

  801. these are unclean to you. Among all that swarm, whoever

  802. touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until

  803. the evening. And anything on which any of them falls

  804. when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is

  805. an article of wood, or a garment, or a skin

  806. or a sack, any article that is used for any purpose,

  807. it must be put into water, and it shall be

  808. unclean until the evening. Then it shall be clean. And

  809. if any of them falls into any earthenware vessels, all

  810. that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall

  811. break it. Any food in it that could be eaten

  812. on which water comes shall be unclean, and all drink

  813. that could be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean.

  814. And everything on which any part of their carcass falls

  815. shall be unclean. Whether oven or stove, it shall be

  816. broken in pieces. They are unclean and shall remain unclean

  817. for you. Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern holding water

  818. shall be clean, but whoever touches a carcass in them

  819. shall be unclean. And if any part of their carcass

  820. falls upon any seed grain that is to be sown,

  821. it is clean. But if water is put on the seed,

  822. and any part of their carcass falls on it, it

  823. is unclean to you. And if any animal which you

  824. may eat dies, whoever touches its carcass shall be unclean

  825. until the evening. And whoever eats of his carcass shall

  826. wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. And

  827. whoever carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be

  828. unclean until the evening. Every swarm that swarms on the

  829. ground is detestable. It shall not be eaten whatever goes

  830. on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or

  831. whatever has many feet. Any swarming thing that swarms on

  832. the ground, you shall not eat, for they are detestable.

  833. You shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing

  834. that swarms, And you shall not defile yourselves with them

  835. and become unclean through them.

  836. For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore

  837. and be holy.

  838. For I am holy.

  839. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that

  840. crawls on the ground. For I am the Lord who

  841. brought you up out of the land of Egypt to

  842. be your god. You shall therefore be holy, for I

  843. am holy.

  844. This is the law about beast and bird, and every

  845. living creature that moves through the waters, and every creature

  846. that swarms on the ground. To make a distinction between

  847. the unclean and the clean, and between the living creature

  848. that may be eaten and the living creature that may

  849. not be eaten.

  850. Leviticus twelve. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  851. Speak to the people of Israel, saying, if a woman

  852. conceives and bears a male child, then she shall be

  853. unclean seven days.

  854. As at the time of her menstruation, she shall be unclean.

  855. And on the eighth day, the flesh of his foreskin

  861. as in her menstruation, and she shall continue in the

  862. blood of her purifying for sixty six days. And when

  863. the days of her purifying are completed, whether for a

  868. he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement

  869. for her. Then she shall be clean from the flow

  870. of her blood blood. This is the law for her

  871. who bears a child, either male or female. And if

  872. she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two

  874. and the other for a sin offering, and the priest

  875. shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

  876. Leviticus thirteen, the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying.

  877. When a person has on the skin of his body

  878. a swelling or an eruption, or a spot, and it

  879. turns into a case of leprous disease on the skin

  880. of his body, then he shall be brought to erin

  881. the priest or to one of his sons. The priests,

  882. and the priest shall examine the diseased area on the

  883. skin of his body. And if the hair in the

  884. diseased area has turned white, and the disease appears to

  885. be deeper than the skin of his body, it is

  886. a case of leprous disease. When the priest has examined him,

  887. he shall pronounce him unclean. But if the spot is

  888. white in the skin of his body and appears no

  889. deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has

  890. not turned white, the priest shall shut up the diseased

  891. person for seven days, and the priest shall examine him

  892. on the seventh day. And if in his eyes the

  893. disease is checked and the disease has not spread in

  894. the skin, then the priest shall shut him up for

  895. another seven days, and the priest shall examine him again

  896. on the seventh day. And if the diseased area has faded,

  897. and the disease has not spread in the skin, then

  898. the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is only an eruption,

  899. and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. But

  900. if the eruption spreads in the skin, after he has

  901. shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall

  902. appear again before the priest, and the priest shall look.

  903. And if the eruption has spread in the skin, then

  904. the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous disease.

  905. When a man is afflicted with a leprous disease, he

  906. shall be brought to the priest, and the priest shall look.

  907. And if there is a white swelling in the skin

  908. that has turned the hair white, and there is raw

  909. flesh in the swelling, it is a chronic leprous disease

  910. in the skin of his body, and the priest shall

  911. pronounce him unclean. He shall not shut him up, for

  912. he is unclean. And if the leprous disease breaks out

  913. in the skin, so that the leprous disease covers all

  914. the skin of the diseased person from head to foot,

  915. so far as the priest can see, then the priest

  916. shall look, and if the leprous disease has covered all

  917. his body, he shall pronounce him clean of the disease.

  918. It has all turned white, and he is clean. But

  919. when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean,

  920. and the priest shall examine the raw flesh and pronounce

  921. him unclean. Raw flesh is unclean, for it is a

  922. leprous disease. But if the raw flesh recovers and turns

  923. white again, then he shall come to the priest, and

  924. the priest shall examine him. And if the disease has

  925. turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the diseased person clean.

  926. He is clean. If the is in the skin of

  927. one's body a boil, and it heals, and in the

  928. place of the boil there comes a white swelling or

  929. a reddish white spot, then it shall be shown to

  930. the priest, and the priest shall look. And if it

  931. appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white,

  932. then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a

  933. case of leprous disease that has broken out in the boil.

  934. But if the priest examines it, and there is no

  935. white hair in it, and it is not deeper than

  936. the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall shut

  937. him up seven days. And if it spreads in the skin,

  938. then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a disease.

  939. But if the spot remains in one place and does

  940. not spread, it is the scar of the boil, and

  941. the priest shall pronounce him clean. Or when the body

  942. has a burn on its skin, and the raw flesh

  943. of the burn becomes a spot reddish, white, or white,

  944. the priest shall examine it. And if the hair in

  945. the has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin,

  946. then it is a leprous disease. It has broken out

  947. in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean.

  948. It is a case of leprous disease. But if the

  949. priest examines it, and there is no white hair in

  950. the spot, and it is no deeper than the skin,

  951. but has faded, the priest shall shut him up seven days,

  952. and the priest shall examine him the seventh day. If

  953. it is spreading in the skin, then the priest shall

  954. pronounce him unclean. It is a case of leprous disease.

  955. But if the spot remains in one place, and does

  956. not spread in the skin, but has faded. It is

  957. a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce

  958. him clean, for it is the scar of the burn.

  959. When a man or woman has a disease on the

  960. head or the beard, the priest shall examine the disease,

  961. and if it appears deeper than the skin, and the

  962. hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest

  963. shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch, a leprous

  964. disease of the head or the beard. And if the

  965. priest examines the itching disease and it appears no deeper

  966. than the skin, and there is no black hair in it,

  967. then the priest shall shut up the person with the

  968. itching disease for seven days, And on the seventh day,

  969. the priest shall examine the disease. If the itch has

  970. not spread, and there is in it no yellow hair,

  971. and the itch appears to be no deeper than the skin,

  972. then he shall shave himself. But the itch he shall

  973. not shave, And the priest shall shut up the person

  974. with the itching disease for another seven days. And on

  975. the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch. And

  976. if the itch has not spread in the skin, and

  977. it appears to be no deeper than the skin, then

  978. the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash

  979. his clothes and be clean. But if the itch spreads

  980. in the skin after his cleansing, then and the priest

  981. shall examine him. And if the itch has spread in

  982. the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellow hair,

  983. he is unclean. But if in his eyes the itch

  984. is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, the

  985. itch is healed, and he is clean, and the priest

  986. shall pronounce him clean. When a man or a woman

  987. has spots on the skin of the body, white spots,

  988. the priest shall look. And if the spots on the

  989. skin of the body are of a dull white, it

  990. is leuciderma that is broken out of the skin. He

  991. is clean. If a man's hair falls out from his head,

  992. he is bald, he is clean. And if a man's

  993. hair falls out from his forehead he has baldness of

  994. the forehead, he is clean. But if there is on

  995. the bald head or the bald forehead a reddish white

  996. diseased area, it is a leprous disease breaking out on

  997. his bald head or his bald forehead. Then the priest

  998. shall examine him. And if the disease swelling is reddish

  999. white on his bald head, or on his bald forehead,

  1000. like the appearance of leprous disease in the skin of

  1001. the body, he is a leprous man. He is unclean.

  1002. The priest must pronounce him unclean. His disease is on

  1003. his head. The leprous person who has the disease shall

  1004. wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head

  1005. hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and

  1006. cry out unclean, unclean. He shall remain unclean as long

  1007. as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall

  1008. live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the canyon. When

  1009. there is a case of leprous disease in a garment,

  1010. whether a woolen or a linen, garment, in warp or

  1011. wolf of linen or wool, or in a skin, or

  1012. in anything made of skin, if the disease is greenish

  1013. or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or

  1014. in the warp or the wolf, or in any article

  1015. made of skin, it is a case of leprous disease,

  1016. and it shall be shown to the priest, and the

  1017. priest shall examine the disease and shut up that which

  1018. has the disease for seven days. Then he shall examine

  1019. the disease on the seventh day. If the disease has

  1020. spread in the garment, in the warp, or the wolf,

  1021. or in the skin, whatever be the use of the skin,

  1022. the disease is a persistent leprous disease, it is unclean,

  1023. and he shall burn the garment, or the warp, or

  1024. the wolf, the wool or the linen, or any article

  1025. made of skin that is diseased, for it is a

  1026. persistent leprous disease. It shall be burned in the fire.

  1027. And if the priest examines, and if the disease has

  1028. not spread in the garment, in the warp, or the wolf,

  1029. or in any article made of skin, then the priest

  1030. shall command that they wash the thing in which is

  1031. the disease, and he shall shut it up for another

  1032. seven days. And the priest shall will examine the diseased

  1033. thing after it has been washed. And if the appearance

  1034. of the diseased area has not changed, though the disease

  1035. has not spread, it is unclean. You shall burn it

  1036. in the fire. Whether the rot is on the back

  1037. or on the front. But if the priest examines, and

  1038. if the diseased area has faded after it has been washed,

  1039. he shall tear it out of the garment or the skin,

  1040. or the warp or the wolf. Then if it appears

  1041. again in the garment, in the warp, or the wolf,

  1042. or in any article made of skin, it is spready.

  1043. You shall burn with fire whatever has the disease, but

  1044. the garment, or the warp, or the wolf, or any

  1045. article made of skin from which the disease departs. When

  1046. you have washed, it shall then be washed a second

  1047. time and be clean. This is the law for a

  1048. case of leprous disease in a garment of wool or linen,

  1049. either in the warp or the wolf, or in any

  1050. article made of skin, to determine whether it is clean

  1051. or uncle.

  1052. Leviticus fourteen, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  1053. This shall be the law of the leprous person. For

  1054. the day of his cleansing.

  1055. He shall be brought to the priest, and the priest

  1056. shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look. Then,

  1057. if the case of leprous disease is healed in the

  1058. leprous persons. The priest shall command them to take for him,

  1059. who is to be cleansed, two live clean birds, and

  1060. cedar wood, and scarlet yarn and hissops, And the priest

  1061. shall command them to kill one of the birds in

  1062. an earthenware vessel over fresh water. He shall take the

  1063. live bird with the cedar wood and the scarlet yarn

  1064. and the hissops, and dip him and the live bird

  1065. in the blood of the bird that was killed over

  1066. the fresh water, and he shall sprinkle it seven times

  1067. on him who is to be cleansed of the leprous disease.

  1068. Then he shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the

  1069. living bird go into the open field. And he who

  1070. is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave

  1071. off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and

  1072. he shall be clean. And after that he may come

  1073. into the camp, but live outside his tent seven days.

  1074. And on the seventh day he shall shave off all

  1075. his hair from his head, his beard, and his eyebrows.

  1076. He shall shave off all his hair, and then he

  1077. shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water,

  1078. and he shall be clean. And on the eighth day,

  1079. he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one

  1080. you lamb a year old, without blemish, and a grain

  1081. offering of three tenths of an epoch of fine flour

  1082. mixed with oil, and one log of oil. And the

  1083. priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is

  1084. to be cleansed, and these things before the Lord at

  1085. the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the priest

  1086. shall take one of the male lambs and offer it

  1087. for a guilt offering, along with the log of oil,

  1088. and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.

  1089. And he shall kill the lamb in the place where

  1090. they kill the sin offering, and the burn offering in

  1091. the place of the sanctuary. For the guilt offering, like

  1092. the sin offering, belongs to the priest. It is most holy.

  1093. The priest shall take some of the blood of the

  1094. guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the

  1095. lobe of the right ear of him who is to

  1096. be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand,

  1097. and on the big toe of his right foot. Then

  1098. the priest shall take some of the log of oil

  1099. and pour it into the palm of his own left hand,

  1100. and dip his right finger in the oil that is

  1101. in his left hand, and sprinkle some oil with his

  1102. finger seven times before the Lord. And some of the

  1103. oil that remains in his hand, the priest shall put

  1104. on the lobe of the right ear of him who

  1105. is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his

  1106. right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot,

  1107. on top of the blood of the guilt offering, and

  1108. the rest of the oil that is in the priest's

  1109. hand he shall put on the head of him who

  1110. is to be cleansed. Then the priest shall make atonement

  1111. for him. Before the Lord, the priest shall offer the

  1112. sin offering to make atonement for him who is to

  1113. be cleansed from his uncleanness. And afterward he shall kill

  1114. the burnt offering, and the priest shall offer the burnt

  1115. offering and the grain offering on the altar. Thus the

  1116. priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

  1117. But if he is poor and cannot afford so much,

  1118. then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt

  1119. offering to be waved to make atonement for him, and

  1120. a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with

  1121. oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil.

  1122. Also two turtle doves or two pigeons, whichever he can afford.

  1123. The one shall be a sin offering, and the other

  1124. a burnt offering. And on the eighth day he shall

  1125. bring them for his cleansing to the priest to the

  1126. entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and

  1127. the priest shall take the lamb of the gilt offering

  1128. and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave

  1129. them for a wave offering before the Lord, and he

  1130. shall kill the lamb of the gilt offering. And the

  1131. priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt

  1132. offering and put it on the lobe of the right

  1133. ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on

  1134. the thumb of his right hand, and on the big

  1135. toe of his right foot. And the priest shall force

  1136. some of the oil into the palm of his own

  1137. left hand, and shall sprinkle with his right finger some

  1138. of the oil that is in his left hand seven

  1139. times before the Lord. And the priest shall put some

  1140. of the oil that is in his hand on the

  1141. lobe of the right ear of him who is to

  1142. be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand,

  1143. and on the big toe of his right foot in

  1144. the place where the blood of the guilt offering was put,

  1145. and the rest of the oil that is in the

  1146. priest's hand, he shall put on the head of him

  1147. who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him

  1148. before the Lord. And he shall offer of the turtle, doves,

  1149. or pigeons, whichever he can afford, one for a sin offering,

  1150. and the other for a burnt offering, along with a

  1151. grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement before the

  1152. Lord for him who is being cleansst. This is the

  1153. law for him in whom is a case of leprous disease,

  1154. who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansings.

  1155. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying.

  1156. When you come into the land of Canaan, which I

  1157. give you for a possession, and I put a case

  1158. of leprous disease in a house in the land of

  1159. your possession, then he who owns the house shall come

  1160. and tell the priest.

  1161. There seems to me to be some case of disease

  1162. in my house.

  1163. Then the priest shall command that they empty the house

  1164. before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all

  1165. that is in the house be declared unclean. And afterward

  1166. the priest shall go in to see the house, and

  1167. he shall examine the disease. And if the disease is

  1168. in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots,

  1169. and if it appears to be deeper than the surface,

  1170. then the priest shall go out of the house to

  1171. the door of the house and shut up the house

  1172. seven days, And the priest shall come again on the

  1173. seventh day and look. If the disease has spread in

  1174. the walls of the house, then the priest shall command

  1175. that they take out the stones in which is the

  1176. disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.

  1177. And he shall have the inside of the house scraped

  1178. all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they

  1179. shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.

  1180. Then they shall take other stones and put them in

  1181. the place of those stones, and he shall take other

  1182. plaster and plaster the house. If the disease breaks out

  1183. again in the house, after he has taken out the

  1184. stones and scraped the house, and plastered it, then the

  1185. priest shall go and look, and if the disease has

  1186. spread in the house, it is a persistent, leprous disease.

  1187. In the house, it is unclean, and he shall break

  1188. down the house its stones and timber, and all the

  1189. plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out

  1190. of the city to an unclean place. Moreover, whoever enters

  1191. the house while it is shut up shall be unclean

  1192. until the evening. And whoever sleeps in the house shall

  1193. wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall

  1194. wash his clothes.

  1195. But if the.

  1196. Priest comes and looks, and if the disease has not

  1197. spread in the house after the house was plastered, then

  1198. the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the disease

  1199. is healed. And for the cleansing of the house. He

  1200. shall take two small birds with cedarwood and scarlet yarn

  1201. and hisseeth, and shall kill one of the birds in

  1202. an earthenware vessel over fresh water, and shall take the

  1203. cedar wood and the hissyth and the scarlet yarn along

  1204. with the live bird, and dip them in the blood

  1205. of the bird that was killed, and in the fresh water,

  1206. and sprinkle the house seven times. Thus he shall cleanse

  1207. the house with the blood of the bird, and with

  1208. the fresh water, and with the live bird, and with

  1209. the cedar wood and hisseth and scarlet yarn. And he

  1210. shall let the live bird go out of the city

  1211. into the open country. So he shall make atonement for

  1212. the house, and it shall be clean.

  1213. This is the law for any case of leprous disease,

  1214. for an itch, for lepros disease in a garment or

  1215. in a house, and for a swelling or an eruption,

  1216. or a spot, to show when it is unclean, and

  1217. when it is clean. This is the law for leprous disease.

  1218. Leviticus fifteen. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying.

  1219. Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,

  1220. when any man has a discharge from his body, his

  1221. discharge is unclean, And this is the law of his uncleanness.

  1222. For a discharge, whether his body runs with his discharge,

  1223. or his body is blocked up by his discharge, it

  1224. is his uncleanness. Every bed on which the one with

  1225. the discharge lies shall be unclean, and everything on which

  1226. he sits shall be unclean. And anyone who touches his

  1227. bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water,

  1228. and be unclean until the evening. And whoever sits on

  1229. anything on which the one with the discharge has set

  1230. shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and

  1231. be unclean until the evening. And whoever touches the body

  1232. of the one with the discharge shall wash his clothes

  1233. and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

  1234. And if the one with the discharge spits on someone

  1235. who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and

  1236. bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

  1237. And any saddle on which the one with the discharge

  1238. rides shall be unclean. And whoever touches anything that was

  1239. under him shall be unclean until the evening. And whoever

  1240. carries such things shall wash his cloth and bathe himself

  1241. in water, and be unclean until the evening. Anyone whom

  1242. the one with the discharge touches, without having rinsed his

  1243. hands in water, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself

  1244. in water, and be unclean until the evening. And an

  1245. earthenware vessel that the one with the discharge, touches shall

  1246. be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed

  1247. in water. And when the one with a discharge is

  1248. cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself

  1249. seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and

  1250. he shall bathe his body in fresh water, and shall

  1251. be clean. And on the eighth day he shall take

  1252. two turtle doves or two pigeons, and come before the

  1253. Lord to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and

  1254. give them to the priest, and the priest shall use them,

  1255. one for a sin offering, and the other for a

  1256. burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him

  1257. before the Lord for his discharge. If a man has

  1258. an omission of seamen, he shall bathe his whole body

  1259. in water and be unclean until the evening. And every

  1260. garment and every skin on which the seaman comes shall

  1261. be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.

  1262. If a man lies with a woman and has an

  1263. emission of seamen, both of them shall bathe themselves in

  1264. water and be unclean until the evening. When a woman

  1265. has a discharge and the discharge in her body is blood,

  1266. she shall be in her minstrul impurity for seven days,

  1267. and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening,

  1268. And everything on which she lies during her minstrual impurity

  1269. shall be unclean. Everything also on which she sits shall

  1270. be unclean, And whoever touches her bed shall wash his

  1271. clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until

  1272. the evening. Whoever touches anything on which she sits, shall

  1273. wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be

  1274. unclean until the evening. Whether it is the bed or

  1275. anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he

  1276. shall be unclean until the evening. And if any man

  1277. lies with her, and her minstrual impurity comes upon him,

  1278. he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on

  1279. which he lies shall be unclean. If a woman has

  1280. a discharge of blood for many days, not at the

  1281. time of her minstrual impurity, or if she has a

  1282. discharge beyond the time of her impurity, all the days

  1283. of the discharge she shall continue in uncleanness. As in

  1284. the days of her impurity. She shall be unclean every

  1285. bed on which she lies all the days of her

  1286. discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity,

  1287. and everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as

  1288. in the uncleanness of her minstrel impurity. And whoever touches

  1289. these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes

  1290. and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

  1291. But if she is cleansed of her discharge, she shall

  1292. count for herself seven days, and after that she shall

  1293. be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take

  1294. two turtle doves or two pigeons, and bring them to

  1295. the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting,

  1296. and the priest shall use one for a sin offering,

  1297. and the other for a burnt offering. And the priest

  1298. shall make atonement for her before the Lord for her

  1299. unclean discharge.

  1300. Thus you shall keep the people of Israel separate from

  1301. their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness by defiling

  1302. my tabernacle, that is in their midst.

  1303. This is the law for him who has a discharge,

  1304. and for him who has an emission of seamen becoming

  1305. un clean. Thereby also for her who is unwell with

  1306. her menstrual impurity, that is for anyone male or female

  1307. who has a discharge, and for the man who lies

  1308. with a woman who is unclean. Leviticus sixteen. The Lord

  1309. spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons

  1310. of Aaron, when they drew near before the Lord and died,

  1311. and the Lord said to Moses.

  1312. Tell Arin, your brother not to come at any time

  1313. into the Holy Place inside the vale before the mercy

  1314. seat that is on the ark, so that he may

  1315. not die. For I will appear in the cloud over

  1316. the mercy seat. But in this way, Aaron shall come

  1317. into the Holy Place with a.

  1318. Bull from the herd for a sin offering and a

  1319. ram for a burnt offering. He shall put on the

  1320. holy linen coat, and shall have the linen undergarment on

  1321. his body. And he shall tie the linen sash around

  1322. his waist and wear the linen turban. These are the

  1323. holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water and

  1324. then put them on. And he shall take from the

  1325. congregation of the people of Israel two male goats for

  1326. a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

  1327. Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself,

  1328. and shall make atonement for himself and for his house.

  1329. Then he shall take the two goats and set them

  1330. before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

  1331. and Erin shall cast lots over the two goats, one

  1332. lot for the Lord and the other lot for Azazel.

  1333. And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot

  1334. fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering.

  1335. But the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel

  1336. shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement

  1337. over it, that it may be sent away into the

  1338. wilderness to Azazel. Aaron shall present the bull as a

  1339. sin offering for himself, and shall make atonement for himself

  1340. and for his house. He shall kill the bull as

  1341. a sin offering for himself, and he shall take a

  1342. censorful of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord,

  1343. and two handfuls of sweet incense, beaten small, And he

  1344. shall bring it inside the veil and put the incense

  1345. on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of

  1346. the incense may cover the mercy seat that is over

  1347. the testimony, so that he does not die. And he

  1348. shall take some of the blood of the bull and

  1349. sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the

  1350. mercy seat, on the east side, and in front of

  1351. the mercy seat, he shall sprinkle some of the blood

  1352. with his fingers seven times. Then he shall kill the

  1353. goat of the sin offering that is for the people,

  1354. and bring its blood inside the veil, and do with

  1355. its blood as he did with the blood of the bull,

  1356. sprinkling it over the mercy seats and in front of

  1357. the mercy seat. Thus he shall make atonement for the

  1358. Holy Place because of the uncleannesses of the people of Israel,

  1359. and because of their transgressions all their sins. And so

  1360. he shall do for the tintive meeting, which dwells with

  1361. them in the midst of their uncleannesses. No one may

  1362. be in the tent of meeting from the time he

  1363. enters to make atonement in the Holy Place until he

  1364. comes out and has made atonement for himself and for

  1365. his house, and for all the assembly of Israel. Then

  1366. he shall go out to the altar that is before

  1367. the Lord and make atonement for it, and shall take

  1368. some of the blood of the bull and some of

  1369. the blood of the goat, and put it on the

  1370. horns of the altar all around and he shall sprinkle

  1371. some of the blood on it with his fingers seven times,

  1372. and cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleannesses of

  1373. the people of Israel. And when he has made an

  1374. end of atoning for the Holy Place and the tint

  1375. of meeting and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

  1376. And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head

  1377. of the live goat and confess over it all the

  1378. iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions,

  1379. all their sins. And he shall put them on the

  1380. head of the goat and send it away into the

  1381. wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.

  1382. The goat shall bear all their iniquities on itself to

  1383. a remote area, and he shall let the goat go

  1384. free in the wilderness. Then Aaron shall come into the

  1385. tent of Meeting and shall take off the linen garments

  1386. that he put on when he went into the Holy Place,

  1387. and shall leave them there. And he shall bathe his

  1388. body and water in a holy place, and put on

  1389. his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering

  1390. and the offering of the people, and make atonement for

  1391. himself and for the people, and the bat of the

  1392. sin offering he shall burn on the altar. And he

  1393. who lets the goat go to a zazel shall wash

  1394. his clothes and bathe his body and water, and afterward

  1395. he may come into the camp. And the bull for

  1396. the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering,

  1397. whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the

  1398. Holy place, shall be carried outside the camp. Their skin

  1399. and their flesh and their dung shall be burned up

  1400. with fire, and he who burns them shall wash his

  1401. clothes and bathe his body and water, and afterward he

  1402. may come into the camp. And it shall be a

  1403. statute to you forever that in the seventh month, on

  1404. the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict yourselves

  1405. and shall do no work, either the native or the

  1406. stranger whose sojourns among you, For on this day shall

  1407. atonement be made for you to cleanse you. You shall

  1408. be clean before the Lord from all your sins. It

  1409. is a sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you

  1410. shall afflict yourselves. It is a statute forever. And the

  1411. priest who is anointed and consecrated as priest in his

  1412. father's place shall make atonement wearing the holy linen garments.

  1413. He shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary, and he

  1414. shall make atonement for the Tintive meeting and for the Altar.

  1415. And he shall make atonement for the priests and for

  1416. all the people of the assembly. And this shall be

  1417. a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made

  1418. for the people of Israel once in the year because

  1419. of all their sins.

  1420. And Moses did as the Lord commanded him Leviticus seventeen.

  1421. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  1422. Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the

  1423. people of Israel, and say to them, this is the

  1424. thing that the Lord has commanded.

  1425. If any one of the House of Israel kills an

  1426. ox or a lamb or a goat in the camp,

  1427. or kills it outside the camp, and does not bring

  1428. it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to

  1429. offer it as a gift to the Lord in front

  1430. of the tabernacle of the Lord, blood guilt shall be

  1431. imputed to that man he has shed blood, and that

  1432. man shall be cut off from among his people. This

  1433. is to the end that the people of Israel may

  1434. bring their sacrifices that they sacrifice in the open field,

  1435. that they may bring them to the Lord, to the

  1436. priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and

  1437. sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord.

  1438. And the pri shall throw the blood on the altar

  1439. of the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

  1440. and burn the fat for a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

  1441. So they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat

  1442. demons after whom they hord. This shall be a statute

  1443. forever for them throughout their generations. And you shall say

  1444. to them.

  1445. Anyone of the House of Israel or of the strangers

  1446. whose sojourn among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

  1447. and does not bring it to the entrance of the

  1448. tent of meeting to offer it to the Lord, that

  1449. man shall be cut off from his people. If any

  1450. one of the House of Israel or of the strangers

  1451. whose sojourn among them, eats any blood, I will set

  1452. my face against that person who eats blood, and will

  1453. cut him off from among his people. For the life

  1454. of the flesh is in the blood. And I have

  1455. given it for you on the altar, to make atonement

  1456. for you souls, for it is the blood that makes

  1457. atonement by the life. Therefore, I have said to the

  1458. people of Israel, no person among you shall eat blood.

  1459. Neither shall any stranger whose sojourns among you eat blood.

  1460. Anyone also of the people of Israel, or of the

  1461. strangers whose sojourn among them, who takes in hunting. Any

  1462. beast or bird that may be eaten, shall pour out

  1463. its blood and cover it with earth. For the life

  1464. of every creature is its blood. Its blood is its life.

  1465. Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, you

  1466. shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the

  1467. life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it

  1468. shall be cut off. And every person who eats what

  1469. dies of itself or what is torn by beast, whether

  1470. he is a native or a sojourner, shall wash his

  1471. clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until

  1472. the evening. Then he shall be clean. But if he

  1473. does not wash them or bathe his flesh, he shall

  1474. bear his iniquity.

  1475. Leviticus eighteen. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  1476. Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,

  1477. I am the Lord your God. You shall not do

  1478. as they do in the land of Egypt, where you live.

  1479. And you shall not do as they do in the

  1480. land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You

  1481. shall not walk in their statutes. You shall follow my

  1482. rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I

  1483. am the Lord your God. You shall therefore keep my

  1484. statutes and my rules. If a person does them, he

  1485. shall live by them. I am the Lord. None of

  1486. you shall approach any one of his close relatives to

  1487. uncovered nakedness. I am the Lord.

  1488. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which

  1489. is the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother.

  1490. You shall not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover

  1491. the nakedness of your father's wife. It is your father's nakedness.

  1492. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sisters, your

  1493. father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether brought up in

  1494. the family or in another home. You shall not uncover

  1495. the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter,

  1496. for their nakedness is your own nakedness. You shall not

  1497. uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter brought up

  1498. in your father's family. Since she is your sister, You

  1499. shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sisters. She

  1500. is your father's relative. You shall not uncover the nakedness

  1501. of your mother's sisters, for she is your mother's relative.

  1502. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother.

  1503. That is, you shall not approach his wife. She is

  1504. your aunt. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your

  1505. daughter in law. She is your son's wife. You shall

  1506. not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness

  1507. of your brother's wife. It is your brother's nakedness. You

  1508. shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of

  1509. her daughter, And you shall not take her son's daughter

  1510. or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness. They are relatives.

  1511. It is depravity. And you shall not take a woman

  1512. as a rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness

  1513. while her sister is still alive. You shall not approach

  1514. a woman to uncover her nakedness while she's in her

  1515. minstrel uncleanness. And you shall not lie sexually with your

  1516. neighbour's wife, and so make yourself unclean with her.

  1517. You shall not give any of your children to offer

  1518. them to molech, and so profane the name of your god.

  1519. I am the Lord.

  1520. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman.

  1521. It is an abomination. And you shall not lie with

  1522. any animal, and so make yourself unclean with it. Neither

  1523. shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie

  1524. with it. It is perversion.

  1525. Do not make yourself unclean by any of these things.

  1526. For by all these the nations I am driving out

  1527. before you have become unclean, and the land became unclean,

  1528. so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited

  1529. out its inhabitants.

  1530. But you shall keep my statutes and my rules, and

  1531. do none of these abominations, either the native or the

  1532. stranger whose soldiers among you. For the people of the

  1533. land who were before you did all of these abominations

  1534. so that the land became unclean. Lets the land vomit

  1535. you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited

  1536. out the nation that was before you. For everyone who

  1537. does any of these abominations, the persons who do them

  1538. shall be cut off from among their people. So keep

  1539. my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs

  1540. that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves

  1541. unclean by them. I am the Lord your.

  1542. God Leviticus nineteen. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying.

  1543. Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel,

  1544. and say to them, you shall be holy, For I

  1545. the Lord your God, am holy. Every one of you.

  1546. You shall revere his mother and his father, and you

  1547. shall keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

  1548. Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any

  1549. gods of cast metal. I am the Lord your God.

  1550. When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord,

  1551. you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.

  1552. It shall be eaten the same day you offer it,

  1553. or on the day after, and anything left over until

  1554. the third day shall be burned up with fire. If

  1555. it is eaten at all on the third day, it

  1556. is tainted. It will not be accepted. And everyone who

  1557. eats it shall bear his iniquity because he has profaned

  1558. what is holy to the Lord, and that person shall

  1559. be cut off from his people.

  1560. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall

  1561. not reap your field right up to its edge. Neither

  1562. shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. And you

  1563. shall not strip your vineyard bear. Neither shall you gether

  1564. the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them

  1565. for the poor and for the sojourner. I am the Lord,

  1566. your God. You shall not steal. You shall not deal falsely.

  1567. You shall not lie to one another. You shall not

  1568. swear by my name falsely and so profane the name

  1569. of your God. I am the Lord. You shall not

  1570. oppress your neighbor or rob him the wages of a

  1571. hired servant. Shall not remain with you all night until

  1572. the morning. You shall not curse the death or put

  1573. a stumbling block before the blind, But you shall fear

  1574. your God. I am the Lord. You shall do no

  1575. injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the

  1576. poor or defer to the great. But in righteousness shall

  1577. you judge your neighbor. You shall not go around as

  1578. a slander among your people, and you shall not stand

  1579. up against the life of your name. I am the Lord.

  1580. You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but

  1581. you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incurse

  1582. sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance or

  1583. bear a grudge against the sons of your own people.

  1584. But you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am

  1585. the Lord. You shall keep my statutes.

  1586. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind.

  1587. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of sea,

  1588. nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of

  1589. two kinds of material. If a man lies sexually with

  1590. a woman who is a slave assigned to another man,

  1591. and not yet ransom or given her freedom, a distinction

  1592. shall be made. They shall not be put to death

  1593. because she was not free. But he shall bring his

  1594. compensation to the Lord, to the entrance of the tent

  1595. of meeting a round for a guilt offering, and you

  1596. shall make atone for him with the ram of the

  1597. guilt offering before the Lord for his sin that he

  1598. has committed, and he shall be forgiven for the sin

  1599. that he has committed. When you come into the land

  1600. and plant any kind of tree for food, then you

  1601. shall regard its fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall

  1602. be forbidden to you. It must not be eaten, and

  1603. in the fourth year all its fruits shall be holy

  1604. and offering a praise to the Lord. But in the

  1605. fifth year you may eat of its fruit to increase

  1606. its yield.

  1607. For you I am the Lord, your God. You shall

  1608. not eat any flesh with the blood in it. You

  1609. shall not interpret omens or tell fortunes. You shall not

  1610. round off the hair on your temples or marred the

  1611. edges of your beard. You shall not make any cuts

  1612. on your body for the dead, or tattoo yourselves. I

  1613. am the Lord. Do not profane your daughter by making

  1614. her a prostitute, lest the land fall into prostitution and

  1615. the land become full of depravity. You shall keep my

  1616. sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. Do

  1617. not turn to mediums or necromancers. Do not seek them

  1618. out and so make yourselves unclean by them. I am

  1619. the Lord, your God. You shall stand up before the

  1620. gray head and honor the face of an old man,

  1621. and you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.

  1622. When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you

  1623. shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger

  1624. who sojourns with you as the native among you, and

  1625. you shall love him as yourself. For you are strangers

  1626. in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

  1627. You shall do no wrong in judgment in measures of length,

  1628. or weight or quantity. You shall have just balances, just

  1629. waits as Epha, and a just him. I am the

  1630. Lord your God, who brought you out of the land

  1631. of Egypt. And you shall observe all my statutes and

  1632. all my rules, and do them. I am the.

  1633. Lord Leviticus twenty. The Lord spoke to Moses saying.

  1634. Say to the people of Israel, any one of the

  1635. people of Israel, or of the strangers who's sojourned in Israel,

  1636. who gives any of his children to Molech, shall surely

  1637. be put to death.

  1638. The people of the land shall stone him with stoness.

  1639. I myself will set my face against that man and

  1640. will cut him off from among his people, because he

  1641. has given one of his children to molk to make

  1642. my sanctuary unclean and to profane my holy name. And

  1643. if the people of the do at all close their

  1644. eyes to that man when he gives one of his

  1645. children to Molak, and do not put him to death,

  1646. then I will set my face against that man and

  1647. against his clan, and will cut them off from among

  1648. their people, him and all who follow him in horring

  1649. after Molak.

  1650. If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, horring after them,

  1651. I will set my face against that person and will

  1652. cut him off from among his people. Consecrate yourselves therefore,

  1653. and be holy, For I am the Lord your God.

  1654. Keep my statutes and do them. I am the lord

  1655. who sanctifies you.

  1656. For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall

  1657. surely be put to death. He has cursed his father

  1658. or his mother, his blood is upon him. If a

  1659. man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both

  1660. the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

  1661. If a man lies with his father's wife, he has

  1662. uncovered his father's nakedness. Both of them shall surely be

  1663. put to death. Their blood is upon them. If a

  1664. man lies with his daughter in law, both of them

  1665. shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion.

  1666. Their blood is upon them. If a man lies with

  1667. a male as with a woman, both of them have

  1668. committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death.

  1669. Their blood is upon them. If a man takes a

  1670. woman and her mother also it is depravity. He and

  1671. they shall be burned with fire, that there may be

  1672. no depravity among them. If a man lies with an animal,

  1673. he shall surely be put to death, and you shall

  1674. kill the animal. If a woman approaches any animal and

  1675. lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal.

  1676. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is

  1677. upon them. If a man takes his sisters, a daughter

  1678. of his father or a daughter of his mother, and

  1679. sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is

  1680. a disgrace, and they shall be cut off in the

  1681. side of the children of their people. He has uncovered

  1682. his sister's nakedness, and he shall bear his iniquity. If

  1683. a man lies with a woman during her minstrel period

  1684. and uncovers her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain,

  1685. and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both

  1686. of them shall be cut off from among their people.

  1687. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister

  1688. or of your father's sister, for that is to make

  1689. naked one's relative. They shall bear their iniquity. If a

  1690. man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his

  1691. uncle's nakedness, they shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.

  1692. If a man takes his brother's wife, it is impurity.

  1693. He has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They shall be childless.

  1694. You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my rules,

  1695. and do them, that the land where I am bringing

  1696. you to live may not vomit you out. And you

  1697. shall not walk in the customs of the nation that

  1698. I am driving out before you. For they did all

  1699. these things, and therefore I detested them. But I have

  1700. said to you, you shall inherit their land, and I

  1701. will give it to you to possess, a land flowing

  1702. with milk and honey. I am the Lord, your God,

  1703. who has separated you from the peoples. You shall therefore

  1704. separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the unclean

  1705. bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable

  1706. by beast or by bird, or by anything with which

  1707. the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you

  1708. to hold unclean. You shall be holy to me, for

  1709. I the Lord, am holy, and have you from the peoples,

  1710. that you should be mine. A man or a woman

  1711. who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be

  1712. put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their

  1713. blood shall be upon.

  1714. Them Leviticus twenty one. And the Lord said to Moses.

  1715. Speak to the priests the sons of Erin, and say

  1716. to them.

  1717. No one shall make himself unclean for the dead among

  1718. his people, except for his closest relatives, his mother, his father,

  1719. his son, his daughter, his brother, or his virgin sisters.

  1720. Who is near to him, because she has had no

  1721. husband for her, he may make himself unclean. He shall

  1722. not make himself unclean as a husband his people, and

  1723. so profane himself. They shall not make ball patches on

  1724. their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards,

  1725. nor make any cuts on their body. They shall be

  1726. holy to their God, and not profane the name of

  1727. their God. For they offer the Lord's food offerings, the

  1728. bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy. They

  1729. shall not marry a prostitute or a woman who has

  1730. been defiled. Neither shall they marry a woman divorced from

  1731. her husband. For the priest is holy to his God.

  1732. You shall sanctify him. For he offers the bread of

  1733. your God. He shall be holy to you. For I

  1734. the Lord who sanctify you am holy and the daughter

  1735. of any priest.

  1736. If she profanes herself by warring profanes her father, she

  1737. shall be burned with fire. The priest who is chief

  1738. among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poor,

  1739. and who has been consecrated to where the garments, shall

  1740. not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor

  1741. tear his clothes. He shall not go into any dead bodies,

  1742. nor make himself unclean, even for his father or for

  1743. his mother. He shall not go out of the sanctuary

  1744. lest he profane the sanctuary of his God, for the

  1745. consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him.

  1746. I am the Lord, and he shall take a wife

  1747. in her virginity, a widow, or a divorced woman, or

  1748. a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. These

  1749. he shall not marry. But he shall take as his

  1750. wife a virgin of his own people, that he may

  1751. not profane his offspring among his people. For I am

  1752. the Lord who sanctifies him.

  1753. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying.

  1754. Speak to Aaron, saying, none of your offspring throughout their

  1755. generations who has a blemish may approach to a the

  1756. bread of his God.

  1757. For no one who has a blemish shall draw near

  1758. a man blind or lame, or one who has a

  1759. mutilated face, or a limb too long, or a man

  1760. who has an injured foot or an injured hand, or

  1761. a hunchback, or a dwarf, or a man with a

  1762. defect in his sight, or an itching disease, or scabs

  1763. or crushed testicles. No man of the offspring of Aaron

  1764. the priest, who has a blemish shall come near to

  1765. offer the Lord's food offerings. Since he has a blemish,

  1766. he shall not come near to offer the bread of

  1767. his God.

  1768. He may eat the bread of his God, both of

  1769. the most holy and of the holy things, but he

  1770. shall not go through the veil or approach the altar,

  1771. because he has a blemish, that he may not profane

  1772. my sanctuaries. For I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

  1773. So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, and

  1774. to all the people of Israel Leviticus twenty two. And

  1775. the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, speak.

  1776. To Aaron and his sons, so that they abstain from

  1777. the holy things of the people of Israel, which they

  1778. dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my

  1779. holy name. I am the Lord.

  1780. Say to them, if anyone of all your offspring throughout

  1781. your generations approaches the holy things that the people of

  1782. Israel dedicate to the Lord while he has an uncleanness,

  1783. that person shall be cut off from my presence. I

  1784. am the Lord. None of the offspring of Aaron who

  1785. has a leprous disease or a discharge may eat of

  1786. the Holy Things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything

  1787. that is uncleaned through contact with the dead, or a

  1788. man who has had an emission of seamen, and whoever

  1789. touches a swarming thing by which he may be made unclean,

  1790. or a person from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever

  1791. is uncleanness may be. The person who touches such a

  1792. thing shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not

  1793. eat of the Holy things unless he has bathed his

  1794. body in water. When the sun goes down, he shall

  1795. be clean, and afterward he may eat of the Holy things,

  1796. because they are his food. He shall not eat what

  1797. dies of itself or is torn by beasts, and so

  1798. make himself unclean by it.

  1799. I am the Lord They shall therefore keep my charge,

  1800. lest they fare sin for it and die thereby when

  1801. they profane it. I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

  1802. A lay person shall not eat of a holy thing.

  1803. No foreign guest of the priest or high fired servant

  1804. shall eat of a holy thing. But if a priest

  1805. buys a slave as his property for money, the slave

  1806. may eat of it, and anyone born in his house

  1807. may eat of his food. If a priest's daughter marries

  1808. a layman, she shall not eat of the contribution of

  1809. the holy things. But if a priest's daughter is widowed

  1810. or divorced and has no child, and returns to her

  1811. father's house as in her youth, she may eat of

  1812. her father's food. Yet no lay person shall eat of it.

  1813. And if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally, he

  1814. shall add the fifth of its value to it and

  1815. give the holy thing to the priest.

  1816. They shall not profane the holy things of the people

  1817. of Israel, which they contribute to the Lord, and so

  1818. cause them to bear iniquity and guilt by eating their

  1819. holy things. For I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

  1820. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying.

  1821. Speak to Aaron and his son and all the people

  1822. of Israel, And say to them.

  1823. When anyone of the House of Israel or of the

  1824. sojourners in Israel, presents a burnt offering as his offering

  1825. for any of their vows or free will offerings that

  1826. they offer to the Lord, if it is to be

  1827. accepted for you, it shall be a male without blemish.

  1828. Of the bulls, or the sheep, or the ghasts. You

  1829. shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it

  1830. will not be acceptable for you. And when anyone offers

  1831. a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill

  1832. a vow, or as a free will offering from the

  1833. herd or from the flock, to be accepted, it must

  1834. be perfect, there shall be no blemish in it. Animals

  1835. blind or disabled, or mutilated, or having a discharge, or

  1836. an itch or scafs, you shall not offer to the

  1837. Lord or give them to the Lord as a food offering.

  1838. On the altar. You may present a bull or a

  1839. lamb that has a part too long or too short

  1840. for a free will off offering, but for a vow offering,

  1841. it cannot be accepted. Any animal that has its testicles

  1842. bruised or crushed or torn or cut, you shall not

  1843. offer to the Lord. You shall not do it within

  1844. your land. Neither shall you offer as the bread of

  1845. your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner, since

  1846. there is a blemish in them because of their mutilation,

  1847. they will not be accepted for you.

  1848. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, when an ox

  1849. or sheep or goat is born, it shall remain seven

  1850. days with its mother, and from the eighth day on

  1851. it shall be acceptable as a food offering to the Lord.

  1852. But you shall not kill an ox or a sheep

  1853. and her young in one day. And when you sacrifice

  1854. a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, you shall sacrifice

  1855. it so that you may be accepted. It shall be

  1856. eaten on the same day. You shall leave none of

  1857. it until morning.

  1858. I am the Lord, So you shall keep my commandments

  1859. and do them. I am the Lord, and you shall

  1860. not profane my holy name, that I may be sanctified

  1861. among the people of Israel. I am the Lord who

  1862. sanctifies you, who brought you out of the land of

  1863. Egypt to be your god. I am the.

  1864. Lord Leviticus twenty three. The Lord spoke to Moses saying.

  1865. Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,

  1866. these are the appointed feasts of the Lord, that you

  1867. shall proclaim as holy convocations. They are my appointed feasts.

  1868. Six days shall work be done. But on the seventh

  1880. present a food offering to the Lord for seven days.

  1881. On the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall

  1882. not do any ordinary work.

  1883. And the Lord spoke to Moses.

  1884. Saying, speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,

  1885. when you come into the land that I give you

  1886. and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheath of

  1887. the first fruits of your harvest to.

  1888. The priest, and he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord,

  1889. so that you may be accepted. On the day after

  1890. the Sabbath, the priest shall wave it. And on the

  1891. day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a

  1892. male lamb a year old without blemish, as a burnt

  1893. offering to the Lord. And the grain offering with it

  1894. shall be two tints of an ephah of fine flour

  1897. be a wine a fourth of a hen. And you

  1898. shall eat neither bread nor grain, parched or fresh until

  1899. this same day, until you have brought the offering of

  1901. In all your dwellings, you shall count seven full weeks

  1902. from the day after the sabbath, from the day that

  1903. you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You shall

  1984. know that I made the people of Israel dwell in

  1985. booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt.

  1986. I am the Lord, your God.

  1987. Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the appointed

  1988. feasts of the Lord Leviticus twenty four. The Lord spoke

  1989. to Moses.

  1990. Saying, command the people of Israel to bring you pure

  1991. from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may

  1992. be kept burning regularly.

  1993. Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of

  1994. meeting Erin shall arrange it from evening to morning before

  1995. the Lord regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout

  1996. your generations. He shall arrange the lamps on the lamp

  1997. stand of pure gold before the Lord regularly, you shall

  1998. take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it. Two

  1999. tenths of an epha shall be in each loaf, and

  2000. you shall set them in two piles, six and a

  2001. pile on the table of pure gold before the Lord.

  2002. And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that

  2003. it may go with the bread as a memorial portion,

  2004. as a food offering to the Lord. Every Sabbath day,

  2005. Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly. It is

  2006. from the people of Israel as a covenant forever, and

  2007. it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they

  2008. shall eat it in a whole place, since it is

  2009. for him a most holy portion out of the Lord's

  2010. food offerings, a perpetual due.

  2011. Now, an Israelite woman's son, whose father was an Egyptian,

  2012. went out among the people of Israel, and the Israelite

  2013. woman's son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,

  2014. and the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the name and cursed.

  2015. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shalomith,

  2016. the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan, And

  2017. they put him in custody till the will of the

  2018. Lord should be clear to them. Then the Lord spoke

  2019. to Moses, saying.

  2020. Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and

  2021. let all who heard him lay their hands on his head,

  2022. and let all the congregations stone him. And speak to

  2023. the people of Israel, saying.

  2024. Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. Whoever blasphems

  2025. the name of the Lord, surely be put to death.

  2026. All the congregations shall stone him. The sojourner as well

  2027. as the native, when he blaspheems the name, shall be

  2028. put to death. Whoever takes a human life shall surely

  2029. be put to death. Whoever takes an animal's life shall

  2030. make it good. Life for life. If anyone injures his

  2031. neighbor as he has done, it shall be done to

  2032. him fracture for fracture, I for eye, tooth for tooth.

  2033. Whatever injury he has given a person shall be given

  2034. to him. Whoever kills an animal shall make it good.

  2035. And whoever kills a person shall be put to death.

  2036. You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and

  2037. for the native. For I am the Lord your God.

  2038. So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they

  2039. brought out of the camp the Onehood cursed and stoned

  2040. him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as

  2041. the Lord commandant Moses Leviticus twenty five. The Lord spoke

  2042. to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying.

  2043. Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,

  2044. when you come into the land that I give you,

  2045. the land shall keep a sabbath to the Lord.

  2046. For six years, you shall sow your field, and for

  2047. six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in

  2048. its fruits. But in the seventh year there shall be

  2049. a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath

  2050. to the Lord. You shall not sow your field or

  2051. prune your vineyard. You shall not reap what grows of

  2052. itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your

  2053. undressed mind. It shall be a year of solemn rest

  2054. for the land. The sabbath of the land shall provide

  2055. food for you, for yourself, and for your male and

  2056. female slaves, and for your hired servant and the sojourner

  2057. who lives with you, and for your cattle, and for

  2058. the wild animals that are in your land. All its

  2059. yields shall be for food. You shall count seven weeks

  2060. of years seven times seven years, so that the time

  2061. of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty

  2062. nine years. Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on

  2063. the tenth day of the seventh month, on the day

  2064. of atonement. You shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land,

  2065. and you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty

  2066. throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be

  2067. a jewbilee for you. When each of you shall return

  2068. to his property, and each of you shall return to

  2069. his clan, that fiftieth year shall be a jewbilee for you.

  2070. In it, you shall neither sow nor reap what grows

  2071. of itself, nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines.

  2072. For it is a jubilee. It shall be to you.

  2073. You may eat the produce of the field. In this

  2074. year of jubilee. Each of you shall return to his property.

  2075. And if you make a sale to your neighbor or

  2076. buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.

  2077. You shall pay your neighbor according to the number of

  2078. years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you

  2079. according to the number of years for crops. If the

  2080. years are many, you shall increase the price, and if

  2081. the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for

  2082. it is the number of the crops that he is

  2083. selling to you.

  2084. You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear

  2085. your God, for I am the Lord your God. Therefore

  2086. you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and

  2087. perform them. And then you will dwell in the land securely.

  2088. The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat

  2089. your fill and dwell in it securely. And if you say,

  2090. what shall we eat in the seventh year, if we

  2091. may not sew or gather in our c I will

  2092. command my blessing on you in the sixth years, so

  2093. that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years.

  2094. When you sow in the eighth year, you will be

  2095. eating some of the old crop. You shall eat the

  2096. old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives. The

  2097. land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land

  2098. is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.

  2099. And in all the country you possess, you shall allow

  2100. a redemption of the land. If your brother becomes poor

  2101. and sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer

  2102. shall come and redeem what his brother has sold. If

  2103. a man has no one to redeem it, and then

  2104. himself becomes prosperous and find sufficient means to redeem it,

  2105. let him calculate the years since he sold it and

  2106. pay back the balance to the man to whom he

  2107. sold it, and then returned to his property. But if

  2108. he has not sufficient means to recover it, then what

  2109. he sold shall remain in the hand of the until

  2110. the year of jubilee. In the jubilee it shall be released,

  2111. and he shall return to his property. If a man

  2112. sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may

  2113. redeem it within a year of its sale. For a

  2114. full year, he shall have the right of redemption. If

  2115. it is not redeemed within a full year, then the

  2116. house in the walled city shall belong in perpetuity to

  2117. the buyer throughout his generations. It shall not be released

  2118. in the jubilee. But the houses of the villages that

  2119. have no wall around them shall be classified with the

  2120. fields of the land, they may be redeemed, and they

  2121. shall be released in the jubilee. As for the cities

  2122. of the Levites, the Levites may redeem at any time

  2123. the houses in the cities they possess, And if one

  2124. of the Levites exercises his right of redemption, then the

  2125. house that was sold in a city they possessed shall

  2126. be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the

  2127. cities of the Levites are their possession among the people

  2128. of Israel. But the fields of pasture land belonging to

  2129. their cities may not be sold, for that is their

  2130. possession forever. If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain

  2131. himself with you, you shall support him as though he

  2132. were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live

  2133. with you. Take no interest from him or prophet, but

  2134. fear your God that your brother may live beside you.

  2135. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor

  2136. give him your food for profit.

  2137. I am the Lord, your God, who brought you out

  2138. of the land of Egypt, to give you the land

  2139. of Canaan, and to be your God.

  2140. If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself

  2141. to you. You shall not make him serve as a slave.

  2142. He shall be with you as a hired servant, and

  2143. as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the

  2144. year of the Jubilee. Then he shall go out from you,

  2145. he and his children with him, and go back to

  2146. his own clan, and return to the possession of his fathers.

  2147. For they are my servants whom I brought out of

  2148. the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.

  2149. You shall not rule over him ruthlessly, but shall fear

  2150. your God.

  2151. As for your male and female slaves, whom you may have,

  2152. you may buy male and female slaves from among the

  2153. nations that are around you. You may also buy from

  2154. among the strangers whose sojourn with you, and their clans

  2155. that are with you, who have been born in your land,

  2156. and they may be your property. You may bequeath them

  2157. to your sons after you, to inherit as a possession forever.

  2158. You may make slaves of them. But over your brothers,

  2159. the people of Israel, you shall not rule one over

  2160. another ruthlessly. If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich,

  2161. and your brother beside him becomes poor, and he sells

  2162. himself to the stranger or sojourner with you, or to

  2163. a member of the stranger's clan. Then after he is

  2164. sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may

  2165. redeem him, or his uncle or his cousin may redeem him,

  2166. or a close relative from his clan may redeem him.

  2167. Or if he grows rich, he may redeem himself. He

  2168. shall calculate with his buyer from the year when he

  2169. sold himself to him until the year of jubilee, and

  2170. the price of his sale shall vary with the number

  2171. of years. The time he was with his owner shall

  2172. be rated as the time of a hired servant. If

  2173. there are still many years left, he shall pay proportionately

  2174. for his redemption some of his sale price. If there

  2175. remain but a few years until the year of jubilee,

  2176. he shall calculate and pay for his redemption in proportion

  2177. to his years of service. He shall treat him as

  2178. a servant hired year by year. He shall not rule

  2179. ruthlessly over him in your sight. And if he is

  2180. not redeemed by these means, then he and his children

  2181. with him shall be released.

  2182. In the year of jubilee, for it is to me

  2183. that the people of Israel are servants. They are my

  2184. servants whom I've brought out of the land of Egypt.

  2185. I am the Lord your.

  2186. God Leviticus twenty six.

  2187. You shall not make idols for yourselves, or erect an

  2188. image or pillar, and you shall not set up a

  2189. figured stone in your land to bow down to it.

  2190. For I am the Lord your God. You shall keep

  2191. my sabbaths in reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

  2192. If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandment

  2193. sund them, then I will give you your reins in their season,

  2194. and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees

  2195. of the field shall yield their fruit. Your threshing shall

  2196. last to the time of the grape harvest, and the

  2197. grape harvest shall last to the time for sowing. And

  2198. you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell

  2199. in your land securely. I will give peace in the land,

  2200. and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid,

  2201. And I will remove harmful beasts from the land, and

  2202. the sword shall not go through your land. You shall

  2203. chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by

  2204. the sword five of you shall chase one hundred and

  2205. a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your

  2206. enemies shall fall before you by the sword. I will

  2207. turn to you and make you fruitful and multiply you,

  2208. and will confirm my covenant with you. You shall eat

  2209. old store long kept, and you shall clear out the

  2210. old to make way for the new. I will make

  2211. my dwelling among you, and my soul shall not abhor you,

  2212. and I will walk among you. It will be your god,

  2213. and you shall be my people. I am the Lord,

  2214. your God, who brought you out of the land of

  2215. Egypt that you should not be their slaves. And I

  2216. have broken the bars of your yoke and made you

  2217. walk erect. But if you will not listen to me

  2218. and will not do all these commandments, if you spurn

  2219. my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules so

  2220. that you will not do all my commandments but break

  2221. my covenant, then I will do this to you.

  2222. I will visit you with panic, with wasting, disease and

  2223. fever that consume the eyes and make the heartache, and

  2224. you shall sow your seat in vain, for your enemies

  2225. shall eat it. I will set my face against you,

  2226. and you shall be struck down before your enemies. Those

  2227. who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall

  2228. flee when none pursues you. And if in spite of

  2229. this you will not listen to me, then I will

  2230. discipline you again sevenfold for your sins, and I will

  2231. break the pride of your power. And I will make

  2232. your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze, and

  2233. your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land

  2234. shall not yield its increase, and the trees of the

  2235. land shall not yield their fruit. Then if you walk

  2236. contrary to me and will not listen to me, I

  2237. will continue striking you sevenfold for your sins. And I

  2238. will let loose the wild beasts against you, which shall

  2239. bereave you of your children, and destroy your livestock, and

  2240. make you few in number, so that your roads shall

  2241. be deserted. And if by this discipline you are not

  2242. turned to me, but walk contrary to me, then I

  2243. also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will

  2244. strike you sevenfold for your sins. I will bring a

  2245. sword upon you that shall execute vengeance for the covenant.

  2246. And if you gather within your cities. I will send

  2247. pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the

  2248. hand of the enemy. When I break your supply of bread,

  2249. ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven,

  2250. and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and

  2251. you shall eat and not be satisfied. But if in

  2252. spite of this, you will not listen to me, but

  2253. walk contrary to me, then I will walk contrary to

  2254. you in fury, and I myself will discipline you sevenfold

  2255. for your sins. You shall eat the flesh of your sons,

  2256. and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. And

  2257. I will destroy your high places and cut down your

  2258. incense alters, and cast your dead bodies upon the dead

  2259. bodies of your idols. And my soul will abhor you.

  2260. And I will lay your city's waste, and will make

  2261. your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your pleasing aromas.

  2262. And I myself will devastate the land, so that your

  2263. enemies who settle in it shall be appalled at it.

  2264. And I will scatter you among the nations, and I

  2265. will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall

  2266. be a desolation. In your cities shall be a waste.

  2267. Then the land shall enjoy it sabbaths as long as

  2268. it lies desolate. While you are in your enemy's land.

  2269. Then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths as

  2270. long as it lies desolate. It shall have rest the

  2271. rest that it did not have on your sabbaths when

  2272. you were dwelling in it. And as for those of

  2273. you who are left, I will send faintness into their

  2274. hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of

  2275. a driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they

  2276. shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they

  2277. shall fall when none pursues. They shall stumble over one another,

  2278. as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And

  2279. you shall have no power to stand before your enemies,

  2280. and you shall perish among the nations, and the land

  2281. of your enemies shall eat you up. And those of

  2282. you who are left shall rot away in your enemy's lands.

  2283. Because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities

  2284. of their fathers, they shall rot away like them. But

  2285. if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their

  2286. fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and

  2287. also in walking contrary to me, so that I walked

  2288. contrary to them and brought them into the land of

  2289. their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and

  2290. they make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember

  2291. my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant

  2292. with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham. And I will

  2293. remember the land. But the land shall be abandoned by

  2294. them and enjoy its sabbath while it lies desolate without them.

  2295. And they shall make amends for their iniquity because they

  2296. spurned my rules, and their soul abhord my statutes.

  2297. Yet for all that, when they are in the land

  2298. of their enemies, I will not spurn them. Neither will

  2299. I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and

  2300. break my covenant with them. For I am the Lord

  2301. their God. But I will, for their sake remember the

  2302. covenant with their forefathers, whom I brought out of the

  2303. land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that

  2304. I might be their god. I am the Lord.

  2305. These are the statutes and rules and laws that the

  2306. Lord made between himself and the people of Israel through

  2307. Moses on Mount SINAI Leviticus twenty seventh, the Lord spoke

  2308. to Moses, saying.

  2309. Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them.

  2310. Then, if anyone makes a special vow to the Lord

  2311. involving the valuation of persons, then the valuation of a

  2312. male from twenty years old up to sixty years old

  2313. shall be fifty shekels of silver according to the shekel

  2314. of the sanctuary. If the person is a female, the

  2315. valuation shall be thirty shekels. If the person is from

  2316. five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation

  2317. shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a

  2318. female ten shekels. If the person is from a month

  2319. old up to five years old, the valuation shall be

  2320. for a male five shekels of silver, and for a

  2321. female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver. And

  2322. if the person is sixty years old or over, then

  2323. the valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels and

  2324. for a female ten shekels. And if someone is too

  2325. poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made

  2326. to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him.

  2327. The priest shall value him according to what the vower

  2328. can afford If the vow is an animal that may

  2329. be offered as an offering to the Lord, all of

  2330. it that he gives to the Lord is holy. He

  2331. shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it,

  2332. good for bad, or bad for good. And if he does,

  2333. in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it

  2334. and the substitute shall be holy. And if it is

  2335. any unclean animal that may not be offered as an

  2336. offering to the Lord, then he shall stand the animal

  2337. before the priest, and the priest shall value it as

  2338. either good or bad as the priest values it. So

  2339. it shall be, But if he wishes to redeem it,

  2340. he shall add a fifth to the valuation. When a

  2341. man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the Lord,

  2342. the priest shall value it as either good or bad

  2343. as the priest values it. So it shall stand. And

  2344. if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall

  2345. add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall

  2346. be his. If a man dedicates to the Lord part

  2347. of the land that is his possession, then the valuation

  2348. shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer of

  2349. barley seeds shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

  2350. If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee,

  2351. the valuation shall stand. But if he dedicates his field

  2352. after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price

  2353. according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee,

  2354. and a deduction shall be made from the valuation. And

  2355. if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it,

  2356. then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price,

  2357. and it shall remain his. But if he does not

  2358. wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold

  2359. the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.

  2360. But the field, when it is released in the jubilee,

  2361. shall be a holy gift to the Lord. Like a

  2362. field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in

  2363. possession of it. If he dedicates to the Lord a

  2364. field that he has bought which is not a part

  2365. of his possession, then the priest shall calculate the amount

  2366. of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee,

  2367. and the man shall give the valuation on that day

  2368. as a holy gift to the Lord. In the year

  2369. of jubilee, the field shall return to him from whom

  2370. it was bought to whom the land belongs as a possession.

  2371. Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

  2372. Twenty giras shall make a shekel, but a firstborn of animals, which,

  2373. as a firstborn, belongs to the Lord. No man may dedicate,

  2374. whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord's. And if

  2375. it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it

  2376. back at the valuation and add a fifth to it,

  2377. or if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold

  2378. at the valuation. No devoted thing that a man devotes

  2379. to the Lord, of anything that he has, whether man

  2380. or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold

  2381. or redeemed. Every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

  2382. No one devoted who is to be devoted for destruction

  2383. from mankind shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put

  2384. to death. Every tithe of the land, whether of the

  2385. seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees,

  2386. is the lord's. It is holy to the Lord. If

  2387. a man wishes to redeem some of his time, he

  2388. shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of

  2389. herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass

  2390. under the herdsman's staff shall be holy to the Lord.

  2391. One shall not differentiate between good or bad. Neither shall

  2392. he make a substitute for it. And if he does

  2393. substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall

  2394. be holy. It shall not be redeemed.

  2395. These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for

  2396. the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
