Leviticus 1
1 And Yahweh called unto Moses, and
spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation,
saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring
an offering unto Yahweh, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of
the herd, and of the flock.
3 If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male
without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before Yahweh.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall
be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before Yahweh: and the priests, Aaron's sons,
shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that
[is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the
wood in order upon the fire:
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in
order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar:
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall
burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
10 And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the
goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yahweh: and
the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the
priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is]
upon the altar:
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall
bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an
offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to Yahweh [be] of fowls, then he
shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and
burn [it] on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of
the altar:
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the
altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
1 And when any will offer a meat offering unto Yahweh, his offering shall be
[of] fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil
thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the
memorial of it upon the altar, [to be] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh:
3 And the remnant of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it
is] a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken
in the oven, [it shall be] unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or
unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in
a pan, it shall be [of] fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it [is] a meat offering.
7 And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in
the fryingpan, it shall be made [of] fine flour with
oil.
8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto
Yahweh: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the
altar.
9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and
shall burn [it] upon the altar: [it is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
10 And that which is left of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron's and his
sons': [it is] a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto Yahweh, shall be made with
leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of Yahweh
made by fire.
12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall
offer them unto Yahweh: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither
shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy
meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits
unto Yahweh, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits
green ears of corn dried by the fire, [even] corn beaten out of full ears.
15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it [is] a meat
offering.
16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, [part] of the beaten corn
thereof, and [part] of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: [it
is] an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
1 And if his oblation [be] a
sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer [it] of the herd; whether [it be] a
male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before Yahweh.
2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it [at] the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall
sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by
fire unto Yahweh; the fat that covereth the inwards,
and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the flanks,
and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which
[is] upon the wood that [is] on the fire: [it is] an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
6 And if his offering for a sacrifice
of peace offering unto Yahweh [be] of the flock; male or female, he shall offer
it without blemish.
7 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he
offer it before Yahweh.
8 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before
the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood
thereof round about upon the altar.
9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by
fire unto Yahweh; the fat thereof, [and] the whole rump, it shall he take off
hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the
inwards, and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,
10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, which [is] by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
11 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: [it is] the food of the
offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
12 And if his offering [be] a goat, then he shall offer it before Yahweh.
13 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the
tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood
thereof upon the altar round about.
14 And he shall offer thereof his offering, [even] an offering made by fire
unto Yahweh; the fat that covereth the inwards, and
all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,
15 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, which [is] by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
16 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: [it is] the food of the
offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat
[is] Yahweh's.
17 [It shall be] a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your
dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of Yahweh [concerning things] which
ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people;
then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without
blemish unto Yahweh for a sin offering.
4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before Yahweh; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and
kill the bullock before Yahweh.
5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring
it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood
seven times before Yahweh, before the vail of the sanctuary.
7 And the priest shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar of
sweet incense before Yahweh, which [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation;
and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the
burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all
the fat that [is] upon the inwards,
9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, which [is] by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings:
and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his
legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean
place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire:
where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing
be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done [somewhat against] any
of the commandments of Yahweh [concerning things] which should not be done, and
are guilty;
14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the
tabernacle of the congregation.
15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of
the bullock before Yahweh: and the bullock shall be killed before Yahweh.
16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the
tabernacle of the congregation:
17 And the priest shall dip his finger [in some] of the blood, and sprinkle
[it] seven times before Yahweh, [even] before the vail.
18 And he shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar which [is]
before Yahweh, that [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour
out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which [is
at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn [it] upon the altar.
20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he
burned the first bullock: it [is] a sin offering for the congregation.
22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through ignorance [against]
any of the commandments of Yahweh his God [concerning things] which should not
be done, and is guilty;
23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring
his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh: it [is] a sin offering.
25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger,
and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out
his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of
peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement
for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth
[somewhat against] any of the commandments of Yahweh [concerning things] which
ought not to be done, and be guilty;
28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin
which he hath sinned.
29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the
sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put [it]
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood
thereof at the bottom of the altar.
31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from
off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn [it] upon the
altar for a sweet savour unto Yahweh; and the priest
shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall
bring it a female without blemish.
33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for
a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger,
and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out
all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken
away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them
upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto Yahweh: and the
priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall
be forgiven him.
1 And if a soul sin, and hear the
voice of swearing, and [is] a witness, whether he hath seen or known [of it];
if he do not utter [it], then he shall bear his iniquity.
2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether [it be] a carcase
of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle,
or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and [if]
it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness [it be] that a
man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be guilty.
4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with [his] lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it be] that a man shall pronounce with an
oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of
it], then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things], that he
shall confess that he hath sinned in that [thing]:
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahweh for his sin which he
hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin
offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass,
which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto Yahweh;
one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer [that] which [is]
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not
divide [it] asunder:
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the
altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar:
it [is] a sin offering.
10 And he shall offer the second [for] a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then
he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil
upon it, neither shall he put [any] frankincense thereon: for it [is] a sin
offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful
of it, [even] a memorial thereof, and burn [it] on the altar, according to the
offerings made by fire unto Yahweh: it [is] a sin offering.
13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he
hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and [the remnant] shall
be the priest's, as a meat offering.
14 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things
of Yahweh; then he shall bring for his trespass unto Yahweh a ram without
blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the
shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing,
and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the
priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering,
and it shall be forgiven him.
17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be
done by the commandments of Yahweh; though he wist
[it] not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 And he shall bring a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto
the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for
him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist
[it] not, and it shall be forgiven him.
19 It [is] a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against Yahweh.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against Yahweh, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in
fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth
concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all
these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing
which he found,
5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in
the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, [and] give it unto
him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his
trespass offering.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahweh, a ram without blemish
out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the
priest:
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before Yahweh: and it shall be
forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
8 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the burnt offering:
It [is] the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night
unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall
he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with
the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out:
and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay
the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the
peace offerings.
13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
14 And this [is] the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it
before Yahweh, before the altar.
15 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and
of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which [is] upon the meat offering,
and shall burn [it] upon the altar [for] a sweet savour,
[even] the memorial of it, unto Yahweh.
16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened
bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of
the congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it
[unto them for] their portion of My offerings made by
fire; it [is] most holy, as [is] the sin offering, and as the trespass
offering.
18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. [It shall be] a
statute for ever in your generations concerning the
offerings of Yahweh made by fire: every one that toucheth
them shall be holy.
19 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
20 This [is] the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto
Yahweh in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and
half thereof at night.
21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; [and when it is] baken,
thou shalt bring it in: [and] the baken pieces of the
meat offering shalt thou offer [for] a sweet savour
unto Yahweh.
22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: [it
is] a statute for ever unto Yahweh; it shall be
wholly burnt.
23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not
be eaten.
24 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the sin
offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin
offering be killed before Yahweh: it [is] most holy.
26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it:
in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is
sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon
it was sprinkled in the holy place.
28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be
sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and
rinsed in water.
29 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it [is] most holy.
30 And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the
tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy [place], shall
be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
1 Likewise this [is] the law of the
trespass offering: it [is] most holy.
2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass
offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the flanks,
and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away:
5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar [for] an offering made by fire
unto Yahweh: it [is] a trespass offering.
6 Every male among the priests
shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it [is] most holy.
7 As the sin offering [is], so [is] the trespass offering: [there is] one law
for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith
shall have [it].
8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt
offering, [even] the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt
offering which he hath offered.
9 And all the meat offering that is baken in the
oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and
in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.
10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of
Aaron have, one [as much] as another.
11 And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall
offer unto Yahweh.
12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall
offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and
unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour,
fried.
13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
14 And of it he shall offer one out
of the whole oblation [for] an heave offering unto
Yahweh, [and] it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth
the blood of the peace offerings.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall
be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until
the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering [be] a vow, or a voluntary offering, it
shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his
sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be
burnt with fire.
18 And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten
at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed
unto him that offereth it: it shall be an
abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall
bear his iniquity.
19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean [thing]
shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that
be clean shall eat thereof.
20 But the soul that eateth [of] the flesh of the
sacrifice of peace offerings, that [pertain] unto Yahweh, having his
uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean [thing, as] the uncleanness
of man, or [any] unclean beast, or any abominable unclean [thing], and eat of
the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which [pertain] unto Yahweh,
even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
22 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of
24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and
the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye
shall in no wise eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of
which men offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh, even the soul that eateth [it] shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, [whether it be] of fowl or of beast,
in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever soul [it be] that eateth any manner of
blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
28 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the children of
30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the fat with
the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved [for] a wave
offering before Yahweh.
31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be
Aaron's and his sons'.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest [for] an heave offering
of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the
blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for
[his] part.
34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of
Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them
unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for
ever from among the children of Israel.
35 This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his
sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day [when] he
presented them to minister unto Yahweh in the priest's office;
36 Which Yahweh commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the
day that He anointed them, [by] a statute for ever
throughout their generations.
37 This [is] the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the
sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of
the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
38 Which Yahweh commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that He commanded
the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto Yahweh, in the wilderness
of Sinai.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil,
and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened
bread;
3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
4 And Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This [is] the thing which Yahweh
commanded to be done.
6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him
with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious
girdle of the ephod, and bound [it] unto him therewith.
8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, did he put the golden
plate, the holy crown; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that
[was] therein, and sanctified them.
11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar
and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to
sanctify him.
13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them
with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid
their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
15 And he slew [it]; and Moses took the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of
the altar round about with his finger, and purified
the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it,
to make reconciliation upon it.
16 And he took all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above]
the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned [it] upon the
altar.
17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire
without the camp; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid
their hands upon the head of the ram.
19 And he killed [it]; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round
about.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces,
and the fat.
21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole
ram upon the altar: it [was] a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour,
[and] an offering made by fire unto Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his
sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
23 And he slew [it]; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put [it] upon the
tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
great toe of his right foot.
24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of
their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great
toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round
about.
25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that [was] upon the
inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat,
and the right shoulder:
26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that [was] before Yahweh, he took
one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put [them]
on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them
[for] a wave offering before Yahweh.
28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt [them] on the altar upon
the burnt offering: they [were] consecrations for a sweet savour:
it [is] an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it [for] a wave offering before Yahweh:
[for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which [was] upon the
altar, and sprinkled [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his garments, and upon his
sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, [and] his
garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh [at] the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that [is]
in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons
shall eat it.
32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the
bread shall ye burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
[in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven
days shall He consecrate you.
34 As He hath done this day, [so] Yahweh hath commanded to do, to make an
atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Yahweh, that ye die not: for
so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which Yahweh commanded by the hand of
Moses.
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, [that] Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel;
2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram
for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer [them] before Yahweh.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of
the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, [both] of the first year,
without blemish, for a burnt offering;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh; and
a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day Yahweh
will appear unto you.
5 And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yahweh.
6 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which Yahweh commanded that ye should do:
and the glory of Yahweh shall appear unto you.
7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and
thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and
offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as Yahweh
commanded.
8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering,
which [was] for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in
the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood
at the bottom of the altar:
10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin
offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and
the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar.
14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt [them] upon the burnt
offering on the altar.
15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which [was] the sin
offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt
[it] upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings,
which [was] for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood,
which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul
[above] the liver:
20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved [for] a wave offering
before Yahweh; as Moses commanded.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came
down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace
offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came
out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto all the
people.
24 And there came a fire out from before Yahweh, and consumed upon the altar
the burnt offering and the fat: [which] when all the people saw, they shouted,
and fell on their faces.
1 And Nadab and Abihu,
the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and
put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which He commanded
them not.
2 And there went out fire from Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before
Yahweh.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This [is it] that Yahweh spake,
saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh Me, and before all the
people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan,
the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto
them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses
had said.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and
unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads,
neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the
people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning
which Yahweh hath kindled.
7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
lest ye die: for the anointing oil of Yahweh [is] upon you. And they did
according to the word of Moses.
8 And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, saying,
9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go
into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations:
10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean
and clean;
11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh
hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his
sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth
of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the
altar: for it [is] most holy:
13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it [is] thy due, and thy sons'
due, of the sacrifices of Yahweh made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou,
and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for [they be] thy due, and thy sons'
due, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children
of
15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings
made by fire of the fat, to wave [it for] a wave offering before Yahweh; and it
shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for
ever; as Yahweh hath commanded.
16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it
was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron [which were] left [alive],
saying,
17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it
[is] most holy, and [God] hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the
congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh?
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy [place]: ye
should indeed have eaten it in the holy [place], as I commanded.
19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin
offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things have befallen
me: and [if] I had eaten the sin
offering to day, should it have been accepted in the
sight of Yahweh?
20 And when Moses heard [that], he was content.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts
that [are] on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the
cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them
that divide the hoof: [as] the camel, because he cheweth
the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean
unto you.
5 And the coney, because he cheweth
the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean
unto you.
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted,
yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase
shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you.
9 These shall ye eat of all that [are] in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and
scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all
that move in the waters, and of any living thing which [is] in the waters, they
[shall be] an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh,
but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an
abomination unto you.
13 And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls;
they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow,
and the hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto
you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth
upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the
earth;
22 [Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald
locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after
his kind.
23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an
abomination unto you.
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth
the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the even.
26 [The carcases] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not clovenfooted,
nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean unto you: every
one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all
manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be
unclean until the even.
28 And he that beareth the carcase
of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even:
they [are] unclean unto you.
29 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep
upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the
mole.
31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them,
when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32 And upon whatsoever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall
be unclean; whether [it be] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack,
whatsoever vessel [it be], wherein [any] work is done, it must be put into
water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them falleth, whatsoever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye
shall break it.
34 Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be
unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be
unclean.
35 And every [thing] whereupon [any part] of their carcase
falleth shall be unclean; [whether it be] oven, or
ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall
be unclean unto you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is] plenty of water, shall be
clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if [any part] of their carcase fall upon any
sowing seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.
38 But if [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth
the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40 And he that eateth of the carcase
of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even:
he also that beareth the carcase
of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth [shall be] an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon [all] four, or whatsoever hath more feet among
all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they
[are] an abomination.
43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with
them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
44 For I [am] Yahweh your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye
shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any
manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
45 For I [am] Yahweh That bringeth you up out of the
46 This [is] the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living
creature that moveth in the waters, and of every
creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the
beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty
days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the
days of her purifying be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her
separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and
six days.
6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a
daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a
young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
7 Who shall offer it before Yahweh, and make an atonement for her; and she
shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This [is] the law for her that
hath born a male or a female.
8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or
two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin
offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be
clean.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 When a man shall have in the skin
of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his
flesh [like] the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the
priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and [when]
the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight [be] deeper
than the skin of his flesh, it [is] a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall
look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
4 If the bright spot [be] white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight [be] not
deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest
shall shut up [him that hath] the plague seven days:
5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, [if] the
plague in his sight be at a stay, [and] the plague spread not in the skin; then
the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, [if] the
plague [be] somewhat dark, [and] the plague spread not in the skin, the priest
shall pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab: and he shall wash his clothes,
and be clean.
7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen
of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
8 And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth
in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the
priest;
10 And the priest shall see [him]: and, behold, [if] the rising [be] white in
the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and [there be] quick raw flesh in
the rising;
11 It [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he [is] unclean.
12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the
skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, [if] the leprosy have covered
all his flesh, he shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: it is all
turned white: he [is] clean.
14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be
unclean.
15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean:
[for] the raw flesh [is] unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come
unto the priest;
17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, [if] the plague be turned into
white; then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he
[is] clean.
18 The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is
healed,
19 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot,
white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it [be]
in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy broken out of the
boil.
21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, [there be] no white hairs
therein, and [if] it [be] not lower than the skin, but [be] somewhat dark; then
the priest shall shut him up seven days:
22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it [is] a plague.
23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not, it [is] a
burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there is] a hot burning,
and the quick [flesh] that burneth have a white
bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if] the hair in the bright
spot be turned white, and it [be in] sight deeper than the skin; it [is] a
leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy.
26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, [there be] no white hair in the
bright spot, and it [be] no lower than the [other] skin, but [be] somewhat
dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: [and] if it be spread
much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is]
the plague of leprosy.
28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not in the skin, but
it [be] somewhat dark; it [is] a rising of the burning, and the priest shall
pronounce him clean: for it [is] an inflammation of the burning.
29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
30 Then the priest shall see the
plague: and, behold, if it [be] in sight deeper than the skin; [and there be]
in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is]
a dry scall, [even] a leprosy upon the head or beard.
31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall,
and, behold, it [be] not in sight deeper than the skin, and [that there is] no
black hair in it; then the priest shall
shut up [him that hath] the plague of the scall
seven days:
32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold,
[if] the scall spread not, and there be in it no
yellow hair, and the scall [be] not in sight deeper
than the skin;
33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not
shave; and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall
seven days more:
34 And in the seventh day the
priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, [if] the
scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in sight
deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall
wash his clothes, and be clean.
35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his
cleansing;
36 Then the priest shall look on
him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin,
the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.
37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and
[that] there is black hair grown up therein; the scall
is healed, he [is] clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots,
[even] white bright spots;
39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, [if] the bright spots in the skin
of their flesh [be] darkish white; it [is] a freckled spot [that] groweth in the skin; he [is] clean.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he [is] bald; [yet is] he
clean.
41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his
face, he [is] forehead bald: [yet is] he clean.
42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it
[is] a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if] the rising of the sore
[be] white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
44 He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly
unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
45 And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall be rent, and his
head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry,
Unclean, unclean.
46 All the days wherein the plague [shall be] in him he shall be defiled; he
[is] unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp [shall] his habitation
[be].
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, [whether it be] a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
48 Whether [it be] in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen;
whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it [is] a plague
of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [it that hath] the
plague seven days:
51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread
in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, [or] in any
work that is made of skin; the plague [is] a fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing
of skin, wherein the plague is: for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it shall be
burnt in the fire.
53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the
garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
54 Then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing] wherein the plague
[is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:
55 And the priest shall look on the
plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, [if] the plague have not changed
his colour, and the plague be not spread; it [is]
unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward, [whether] it [be]
bare within or without.
56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague [be] somewhat dark after the
washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or
out of the warp, or out of the woof:
57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof,
or in any thing of skin; it [is] a spreading [plague]: thou shalt burn that
wherein the plague [is] with fire.
58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin [it be],
which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be
washed the second time, and shall be clean.
59 This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce
it unclean.
1 And Yahweh spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be
brought unto the priest:
3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look,
and, behold, [if] the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two
birds alive [and] clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen
vessel over running water:
6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of
the bird [that was] killed over the running water:
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven
times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into
the open field.
8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his
hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall
come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his
head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and
he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall
be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one
ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour
[for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 And the priest that maketh [him] clean shall
present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before Yahweh, [at]
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass
offering, and the log of oil, and wave them [for] a wave offering before
Yahweh:
13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering
and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering [is] the
priest's, [so is] the trespass offering: it [is] most holy:
14 And the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and
the priest shall put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be
cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his
right foot:
15 And the priest shall take [some] of the log of oil, and pour [it] into the
palm of his own left hand:
16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that [is] in his left
hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh:
17 And of the rest of the oil that [is] in his hand shall the priest put upon
the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of
his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the
trespass offering:
18 And the remnant of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall pour upon
the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement
for him before Yahweh.
19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him
that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the
burnt offering:
20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the
altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 And if he [be] poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb
[for] a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one
tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of
oil;
22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and
the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest,
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before Yahweh.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of
oil, and the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering before Yahweh:
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall
take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and put [it] upon the tip of
the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger [some] of the oil that
[is] in his left hand seven times before Yahweh:
28 And the priest shall put of the oil that [is] in his hand upon the tip of
the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of
the trespass offering:
29 And the rest of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall put upon the
head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before Yahweh.
30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such
as he can get;
31 [Even] such as he is able to get, the one [for] a sin offering, and the
other [for] a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make
an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before Yahweh.
32 This [is] the law [of him] in whom [is] the plague of leprosy, whose hand is
not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his
cleansing.
33 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron,
saying,
34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your
possession;
35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell
the priest, saying, It seemeth to me [there is] as it
were a plague in the house:
36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest
go [into it] to see the plague, that all that [is] in the house be not made
unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the plague [be] in the
walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight
[are] lower than the wall;
38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut
up the house seven days:
39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and,
behold, [if] the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the
plague [is], and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they
shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean
place:
42 And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the place of those
stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath
taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, [if] the plague be spread
in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house: it [is] unclean.
45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof,
and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry
[them] forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the
while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his
clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash
his clothes.
48 And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it], and, behold, the plague
hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered:
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop:
50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running
water:
51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the
living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running
water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the
running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the
hyssop, and with the scarlet:
53 But he shall let go the living
bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house:
and it shall be clean.
54 This [is] the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56 And for a rising, and for a
scab, and for a bright spot:
57 To teach when [it is] unclean, and when [it is] clean: this [is] the law of
leprosy.
1 And Yahweh spake
unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with
his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it [is] his uncleanness.
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is
unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his
clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
6 And he that sitteth on [any] thing whereon he sat
that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and
be unclean until the even.
7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the
issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean
until the even.
8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash
his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
9 And what saddle soever he rideth
upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
10 And whosoever toucheth any
thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even:
and he that beareth [any of] those things shall wash
his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue,
and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe
[himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which
hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in
water.
13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall
number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe
his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, and come before Yahweh unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and give them unto the priest:
15 And the priest shall offer them, the one [for] a sin offering, and the other
[for] a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before
Yahweh for his issue.
16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all
his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall
be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman also with whom man shall lie [with] seed of copulation, they shall
[both] bathe [themselves] in water, and be unclean until the even.
19 And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh be blood, she
shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth
her shall be unclean until the even.
20 And every thing that she lieth
upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing
also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his
clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
22 And whosoever toucheth any
thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in
water, and be unclean until the even.
23 And if it [be] on [her] bed, or on any thing
whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth
it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24 And if any man lie with her at
all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the
bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her
separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the
issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she [shall be]
unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her
issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her
separation.
27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be
unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be
unclean until the even.
28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven
days, and after that she shall be clean.
29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons,
and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
30 And the priest shall offer the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for]
a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before Yahweh
for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 Thus shall ye separate the children of
32 This [is] the law of him that hath an issue, and [of him] whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of
the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with
her that is unclean.
1 And Yahweh spake
unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before
Yahweh, and died;
2 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at
all times into the holy [place] within the vail before the mercy seat, which
[is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear
in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place]: with a young bullock for a sin
offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches
upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these [are] holy garments;
therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.
5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of
6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before Yahweh [at] the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat
upon which Yahweh's lot fell, and offer him [for] a sin offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented
alive before Yahweh, to make an atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a
scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for
himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall
kill the bullock of the sin offering which [is] for himself:
12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar
before Yahweh, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring [it]
within the vail:
13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of
the incense may cover the mercy seat that [is] upon the testimony, that he die not:
14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle [it] with his
finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he
sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that [is] for the people,
and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the
blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy
seat:
16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy [place], because of the
uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in
all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that
remaineth among them in the midst of their
uncleanness.
17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place], until he
come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and
for all the congregation of Israel.
18 And he shall go out unto the altar that [is] before Yahweh, and make an
atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood
of the goat, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about.
19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and
cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of
20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy [place], and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and
confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
transgressions in all their sins,
putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send [him] away by the hand
of a fit man into the wilderness:
22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not
inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put
off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy [place], and
shall leave them there:
24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his
garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering
of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
26 And he that let go the goat for
the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward come into the camp.
27 And the bullock [for] the sin offering, and the goat [for] the sin offering,
whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy [place], shall [one]
carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and
their flesh, and their dung.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes,
and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
29 And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you:
[that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict
your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or
a stranger that sojourneth among you:
30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse
you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.
31 It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye
shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to
minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the
atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [even] the holy garments:
33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an
atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he
shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the
congregation.
34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for
the children of
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and
say unto them; This [is] the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, saying,
3 What man soever [there be] of the house of Israel,
that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or
that killeth [it] out of the camp,
4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, to offer an offering unto Yahweh before the tabernacle of
Yahweh; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man
shall be cut off from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they
offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Yahweh, unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them
[for] peace offerings unto Yahweh.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Yahweh [at] the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they
have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever
unto them throughout their generations.
8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man [there be] of the house of
Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth
a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, to offer it unto Yahweh; even that man shall be cut off
from among his people.
10 And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers
that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of
blood; I will even set My face against that soul that eateth
blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon
the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Therefore I said unto the children of
13 And whatsoever man [there be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers
that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even
pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14 For [it is] the life of all flesh; the blood of it [is] for the life
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of
15 And every soul that eateth that which died [of
itself], or that which was torn [with beasts, whether it be] one of your own
country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in
water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be
clean.
16 But if he wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his
iniquity.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
3 After the doings of the
4 Ye shall do My judgments, and keep Mine ordinances, to walk therein: I [am]
Yahweh your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man do, he
shall live in them: I [am] Yahweh.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover
[their] nakedness: I [am] Yahweh.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not
uncover: she [is] thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy
father's nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy
mother, [whether she be] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness
thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, [even]
their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she
[is] thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she [is] thy
father's near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she [is]
thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not
approach to his wife: she [is] thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she [is] thy
son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it [is] thy
brother's nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither
shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her
nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her
nakedness, beside the other in her life [time].
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long
as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's
wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I
[am] Yahweh.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither
shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the
nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it,
and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit
[any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger
that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which [were]
before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye
defile it, as it spued out the nations that [were]
before you.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that
commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep Mine ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of
these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile
not yourselves therein: I [am] Yahweh your God.
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of
3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep My sabbaths: I [am] Yahweh your God.
4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] Yahweh
your God.
5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahweh, ye shall offer it
at your own will.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought
remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not
be accepted.
8 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his
iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of Yahweh: and that soul
shall be cut off from among his people.
9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the
corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every]
grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am]
Yahweh your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the
name of thy God: I [am] Yahweh.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob
[him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until
the morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock
before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] Yahweh.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the
person of the poor, nor honour the person of the
mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither
shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour:
I [am] Yahweh.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise
rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy
people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:
I [am] Yahweh.
19 Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a
diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a
garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that
[is] a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom
given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she
was not free.
21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahweh, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.
22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
offering before Yahweh for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he
hath done shall be forgiven him.
23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of
trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three
years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise Yahweh
[withal].
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield
unto you the increase thereof: I [am] Yahweh your God.
26 Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood:
neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the
corners of thy beard.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any
marks upon you: I [am] Yahweh.
29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land
fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My
sanctuary: I [am] Yahweh.
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to
be defiled by them: I [am] Yahweh your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour
the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] Yahweh.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be
unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were
strangers in the
35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard,
in weight, or in measure.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a
just hin, shall ye have: I [am] Yahweh your God,
Which brought you out of the
37 Therefore shall ye observe all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do
them: I [am] Yahweh.
1 And Yahweh spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of
3 And I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from among his
people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech,
to defile My sanctuary, and to profane My holy name.
4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when
he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
5 Then I will set My face against that man, and against his family, and will
cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have
familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even
set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I [am] Yahweh your God.
8 And ye shall keep My statutes, and do them: I [am] Yahweh Which sanctify you.
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother
shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his
blood [shall be] upon him.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with
[another] man's wife, [even he] that committeth
adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and
the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath
uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death;
their blood [shall be] upon them.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put
to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood [shall be] upon them.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a
woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to
death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it [is] wickedness: they shall be
burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall
slay the beast.
16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt
kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
[shall be] upon them.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's
daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it [is] a wicked
thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath
uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover
her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the
fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their
people.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy
father's sister: for he uncovereth
his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's
nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it [is] an unclean thing: he
hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them:
that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue
you not out.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before
you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it
unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk
and honey: I [am] Yahweh your God, Which have separated you from [other]
people.
25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and
between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by
beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth
on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
26 And ye shall be holy unto Me: for I Yahweh [am] holy, and have severed you
from [other] people, that ye should be Mine.
27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood [shall be] upon them.
1 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and
say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, [that is], for his mother, and for
his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no
husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to
profane himself.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off
the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for
the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, [and] the bread of their God, they do
offer: therefore they shall be holy.
7 They shall not take a wife [that is] a whore, or profane; neither shall they
take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy unto his God.
8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth
the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I Yahweh, Which sanctify
you, [am] holy.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore,
she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with
fire.
10 And [he that is] the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the
anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall
not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father,
or for his mother;
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his
God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God [is] upon him: I [am]
Yahweh.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, [or] an harlot, these shall he not
take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I Yahweh do sanctify
him.
16 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever [he be] of thy seed in their generations
that hath [any] blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a
blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any
thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish
in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh
to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not
come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because
he hath a blemish; that he profane not My sanctuaries: for I Yahweh do sanctify
them.
24 And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children
of
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy
things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not My holy name [in
those things] which they hallow unto Me: I [am] Yahweh.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your generations,
that goeth unto the holy things, which the children
of Israel hallow unto Yahweh, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall
be cut off from My presence: I [am] Yahweh.
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper,
or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be
clean. And whoso toucheth any
thing [that is] unclean [by] the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby
he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever
uncleanness he hath;
6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall
not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the
holy things; because it [is] his food.
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn [with
beasts], he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I [am] Yahweh.
9 They shall therefore keep Mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die
therefore, if they profane it: I Yahweh do sanctify them.
10 There shall no stranger eat [of] the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest,
or an hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy thing.
11 But if the priest buy [any] soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he
that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
12 If the priest's daughter also be [married] unto a stranger, she may not eat
of an offering of the holy things.
13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and
is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her
father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14 And if a man eat [of] the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the
fifth [part] thereof unto it, and shall give [it] unto the priest with the holy
thing.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of
16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy
things: for I Yahweh do sanctify them.
17 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and
say unto them, Whatsoever [he be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers
in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his
freewill offerings, which they will offer unto Yahweh for a burnt offering;
19 [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of
the sheep, or of the goats.
20 [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it shall not
be acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace
offerings unto Yahweh to accomplish [his] vow, or a freewill offering in beeves
or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish
therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye
shall not offer these unto Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them upon
the altar unto Yahweh.
23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing
superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou
offer [for] a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Ye shall not offer unto Yahweh that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken,
or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering thereof] in your land.
25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any
of these; because their corruption [is] in them, [and] blemishes [be] in them:
they shall not be accepted for you.
26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be
seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be
accepted for an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
28 And [whether it be] cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in
one day.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Yahweh, offer
[it] at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the
morrow: I [am] Yahweh.
31 Therefore shall ye keep My commandments, and do them: I [am] Yahweh.
32 Neither shall ye profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the
children of Israel: I [am] Yahweh Which hallow you,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] Yahweh.
1 And Yahweh spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the sabbath
of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings.
4 These [are] the feasts of Yahweh, [even] holy convocations, which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] Yahweh's passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread
unto Yahweh: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh seven days: in the
seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].
9 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into
the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye
shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your
harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the
morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an
he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yahweh.
13 And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour
mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yahweh [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine,
the fourth [part] of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the
selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: [it shall be] a
statute for ever throughout your generations in all
your dwellings.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath,
from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath
shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yahweh.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals:
they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with
leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto Yahweh.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first
year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be [for] a burnt offering
unto Yahweh, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, [even] an
offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto Yahweh.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two
lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits
[for] a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to
Yahweh for the priest.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy
convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work [therein: it shall be] a
statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout
your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean
riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest,
neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them
unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] Yahweh your God.
23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of
25 Ye shall do no servile work [therein]: but ye shall offer an offering made
by fire unto Yahweh.
26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of
atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your
souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to
make an atonement for you before Yahweh your God.
29 For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he
shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul [it be] that
doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his
people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute for
ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye
shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even
unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of
35 On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
[therein].
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: on the
eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Yahweh: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do
no servile work [therein].
37 These [are] the feasts of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh, a burnt offering,
and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every
thing upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of Yahweh, and beside your
gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which
ye give unto Yahweh.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the
fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days: on the first
day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day
[shall be] a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches
of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye
shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the year. [It shall
be] a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall
celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall
dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell
in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I [am] Yahweh your
God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of
3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation,
shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before Yahweh
continually: [it shall be] a statute for ever in your
generations.
4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Yahweh continually.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth
deals shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before
Yahweh.
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row, that it may be on the
bread for a memorial, [even] an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before
Yahweh continually, [being taken] from the children of
9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy
place: for it [is] most holy unto him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire
by a perpetual statute.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father
[was] an Egyptian, went out among the children of
11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the
Name, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name [was]
Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri,
of the tribe of Dan:)
12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of Yahweh might be shewed them.
13 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard
[him] lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of Yahweh, he
shall surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone
him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to
death.
18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good;
beast for beast.
19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as
he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish
in a man, so shall it be done to him [again].
21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it:
and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of
your own country: for I [am] Yahweh your God.
23 And Moses spake to the children of
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in mount Sinai,
saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the
land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath
unto Yahweh.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy
vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest
unto the land, a sabbath for Yahweh: thou shalt
neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest
thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it
is a year of rest unto the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you;
for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and
for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land, shall all the
increase thereof be meat.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto
thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths
of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to
sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye
make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all]
the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile
unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall
return every man unto his family.
11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye
shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of
itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed.
12 For it [is] the jubile; it shall be holy unto you:
ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every
man unto his possession.
14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest [ought] of thy neighbour's
hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15 According to the number of years after the jubile
thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto
the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof,
and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for
[according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for
I [am] Yahweh your God.
18 Wherefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and ye
shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell
therein in safety.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall
not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall
bring forth fruit for three years.
22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat [yet] of old fruit until the ninth
year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the old [store].
23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] Mine; for ye [are]
strangers and sojourners with
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the
land.
25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away [some] of his possession,
and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his
brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may
return unto his possession.
28 But if he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall
remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it
shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it
within a whole year after it is sold; [within] a full year may he redeem it.
30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house
that [is] in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought
it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be
counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go
out in the jubile.
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of
their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the
city of his possession, shall go out in [the year of] jubile:
for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their possession among the
children of
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it [is]
their perpetual possession.
35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou
shalt relieve him: [yea, though he be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may
live with thee.
36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother
may live with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for
increase.
38 I [am] Yahweh your God, Which brought you forth out of the
39 And if thy brother [that dwelleth] by thee be
waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a
bondservant:
40 [But] as an hired servant, [and] as a sojourner, he shall be with thee,
[and] shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
41 And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his children with him,
and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers
shall he return.
42 For they [are] My servants, which I brought forth out of the
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but
shalt fear thy God.
44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of
the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and
bondmaids.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them
shall ye buy, and of their families that [are] with you, which they begat in
your land: and they shall be your possession.
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
inherit [them for] a possession; they shall be your bondmen for
ever: but over your brethren the children of
47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the
stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may
redeem him:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh
of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem
himself.
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold
to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his
sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an
hired servant shall it be with him.
51 If [there be] yet many years [behind], according unto them he shall give
again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile,
then he shall count with him, [and] according unto his years shall he give him
again the price of his redemption.
53 [And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall
not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54 And if he be not redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year
of jubile, [both] he, and his children with him.
55 For unto Me the children of
1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a
standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image
of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] Yahweh your God.
2 Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My
sanctuary: I [am] Yahweh.
3 If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;
4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach
unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in
your land safely.
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make
[you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the
sword go through your land.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred
of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you
by the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you,
and establish My covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11 And I will set My tabernacle among you: and My soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be My people.
13 I [am] Yahweh your God, Which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt,
that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke,
and made you go upright.
14 But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 And if ye shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so
that ye will not do all My commandments, [but] that ye break My covenant:
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause
sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat
it.
17 And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be slain before your
enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto Me, then I will punish you
seven times more for your sins.
19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as
iron, and your earth as brass:
20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her
increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
21 And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring
seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your [high]
ways shall be desolate.
23 And if ye will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will walk contrary
unto Me;
24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times
for your sins.
25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of [My]
covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the
pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26 [And] when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your
bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and
ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me;
28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will
chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters
shall ye eat.
30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your
carcases upon the carcases
of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you.
31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your
sweet odours.
32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell
therein shall be astonished at it.
33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after
you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as
it lieth desolate, and ye [be] in your enemies' land;
[even] then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest;
because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye
dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send a faintness into
their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf
shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall
fall when none pursueth.
37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your
enemies.
38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall
eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your
enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine
away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers,
with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have
walked contrary unto Me;
41 And [that] I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into
the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and
they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with
Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember
the land.
43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall
accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised
My judgments, and because their soul abhorred My statutes.
44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not
cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to
break My covenant with them: for I [am] Yahweh their God.
45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I
brought forth out of the
46 These [are] the statutes and judgments and laws, which Yahweh made between
Him and the children of
1 And Yahweh spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty
years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the
shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it [be] a female, then thy
estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if [it be] from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy
estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 And if [it be] from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation
shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation
[shall be] three shekels of silver.
7 And if [it be] from sixty years old and above; if [it be] a male, then thy
estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before
the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed
shall the priest value him.
9 And if [it be] a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto Yahweh, all that
[any man] giveth of such unto Yahweh shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good:
and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof
shall be holy.
11 And if [it be] any unclean
beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto Yahweh, then he shall
present the beast before the priest:
12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be.
13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth [part] thereof
unto thy estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house [to be] holy unto Yahweh, then the
priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall
estimate it, so shall it stand.
15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the
fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto Yahweh [some part] of a field of his
possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an
homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile,
according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile,
then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that
remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it
shall be abated from thy estimation.
19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he
shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall
be assured to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another
man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be
holy unto Yahweh, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the
priest's.
22 And if [a man] sanctify unto Yahweh a field which he hath bought, which [is]
not of the fields of his possession;
23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, [even]
unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine
estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto Yahweh.
24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return
unto him of whom it was bought, [even] to him to whom the possession of the
land [did belong].
25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary:
twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be Yahweh's firstling, no man
shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it [is] Yahweh's.
27 And if [it be] of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem [it] according to
thine estimation, and shall add a fifth [part] of it thereto: or if it be not
redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Yahweh of all
that he hath, [both] of man and beast, and of the field of his possession,
shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing [is] most holy unto Yahweh.
29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; [but] shall
surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed of the land, [or] of
the fruit of the tree, [is] Yahweh's: [it is] holy unto Yahweh.
31 And if a man will at all redeem [ought] of his tithes, he shall add thereto
the fifth [part] thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Yahweh.
33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it:
and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy;
it shall not be redeemed.
34 These [are] the commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children
of
