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