 Chapter 1
1:1 And the Lord called Moses again and
spoke to him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying, Speak to the children of
Israel, and thou shalt say to them, 2
If any man of you shall bring gifts to the Lord, ye shall
bring your gifts of the cattle and of the oxen and of the sheep.
3 If his gift be a
whole-burnt-offering, he shall bring an unblemished male of the herd to the door
of the tabernacle of witness, he shall bring it as acceptable before the Lord.
4 And he shall lay his hand on the
head of the burnt-offering as a thing acceptable for him, to make atonement for
him. 5 And they shall slay the calf
before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring the blood, and
they shall pour the blood round about on the altar, which is at the doors
of the tabernacle of witness. 6 And
having flayed the whole burnt-offering, they shall divide it by its limbs.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priests
shall put fire on the altar, and shall pile wood on the fire.
8 And the sons of Aaron the priests shall
pile up the divided parts, and the head, and the fat on the wood on the fire,
the wood which is on the altar. 9
And the entrails and the feet they shall wash in water, and the
priests shall put all on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell
of sweet savour to the Lord.
10 And if his gift be of the
sheep to the Lord, or of the lambs, or of the kids for whole-burnt-offerings, he
shall bring it a male without blemish. 11
And he shall lay his hand on its head; and they shall kill it by
the side of the altar, toward the north before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron
the priests shall pour its blood on the altar round about.
12 And they shall divide it by its limbs,
and its head and its fat, and the priests shall pile them up on the wood which
is on the fire, on the altar. 13 And
they shall wash the entrails and the feet with water, and the priest shall bring
all the parts and put them on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a
sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 14
And if he bring his gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord, of birds,
then shall he bring his gift of doves or pigeons. 15
And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall
wring off its head; and the priest shall put it on the altar, and shall wring
out the blood at the bottom of the altar. 16
And he shall take away the crop with the feathers, and shall cast
it forth by the altar toward the east to the place of the ashes.
17 And he shall break it off from the wings
and shall not separate it, and the priest shall put it on the altar on the wood
which is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a sweet-smelling
savour to the Lord.
Chapter 2
2:1 And if a soul bring a gift, a
sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon
it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice. 2
And he shall bring it to the priests the sons of Aaron:
and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour with the oil, and all its
frankincense, then the priest shall put the memorial of it on the altar: it
is a sacrifice, an odour of sweet savour to the Lord.
3 And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron
and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord.
4 And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice
baked from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, he shall bring
unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil.
5 And if thy gift be a
sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened offerings.
6 And thou shalt break them into
fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.
7 And if thy gift be a sacrifice from the
hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8
And he shall offer the sacrifice which he shall make of these to
the Lord, and shall bring it to the priest. 9
And the priest shall approach the altar, and shall take away from
the sacrifice a memorial of it, and the priest shall place it on the altar: a
burnt offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. 10
And that which is left of the sacrifice shall be
for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt-offerings of the Lord.
11 Ye shall not leaven any sacrifice
which ye shall bring to the Lord; for as to any leaven, or any honey, ye
shall not bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord. 12
Ye shall bring them in the way of fruits to the Lord, but
they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
13 And every gift of your sacrifice
shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from
your sacrifices: on every gift of yours ye shall offer salt to the Lord your
God. 14 And if thou wouldest offer a
sacrifice of first-fruits to the Lord, it shall be new grains ground
and roasted for the Lord; so shalt thou bring the sacrifice of the
first-fruits. 15 And thou shalt pour
oil upon it, and shalt put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.
16 And the priest shall offer the memorial
of it taken from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is
a burnt-offering to the Lord.
Chapter 3
3:1 And if his gift to the Lord be a
peace-offering, if he should bring it of the oxen, whether it be male or whether
it be female, he shall bring it unblemished before the Lord.
2 And he shall lay his hands on the head of
the gift, and shall slay it before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of
witness. And the priests the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood on the altar of
burnt-offerings round about. 3 And
they shall bring of the peace-offering a burnt-sacrifice to the Lord, the fat
covering the belly, and all the fat on the belly. 4
And the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them; he shall take
away that which is on the thighs, and the caul above the liver together with the
kidneys. 5 And the priests the sons
of Aaron shall offer them on the altar on the burnt-offering, on the wood which
is on the fire upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet
savour to the Lord.
6 And if his gift be of the sheep, a
peace-offering to the Lord, male or female, he shall bring it unblemished.
7 If he bring a lamb for his gift,
he shall bring it before the Lord. 8
And he shall lay his hands on the head of his offering, and shall
slay it by the doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the sons of
Aaron shall pour out the blood on the altar round about. 9
And he shall bring of the peace-offering a burnt-sacrifice
to the Lord: the fat and the hinder part unblemished he shall take away with the
loins, and having taken away all the fat that covers the belly, and all the fat
that is on the belly, 10 and both
the kidneys and the fat that is upon them, and that which is on the
thighs, and the caul which is on the liver with the kidneys,
11 the priest shall offer these on the
altar: it is a sacrifice of sweet savour, a burnt-offering to the Lord.
12 And if his offering be of the
goats, then shall he bring it before the Lord. 13
And he shall lay his hands on its head; and they shall slay it
before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness; and the priests the
sons of Aaron shall pour out the blood on the altar round about.
14 And he shall offer of it a
burnt-offering to the Lord, even the fat that covers the belly, and all
the fat that is on the belly. 15 And
both the kidneys, and all the fat that is upon them, that which is upon the
thighs, and the caul of the liver with the kidneys, shall he take away.
16 And the priest shall offer it upon the
altar: it is a burnt-offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. All
the fat belongs to the Lord. 17
It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in
all your habitations; ye shall eat no fat and no blood.
Chapter 4
4:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Speak to the children of
Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin unwillingly before the Lord, in any of the
commandments of the Lord concerning things which he ought not to do, and shall
do some of them; 3 if the anointed
priest sin so as to cause the people to sin, then shall he bring for his sin,
which he has sinned, an unblemished calf of the herd to the Lord for his sin.
4 And he shall bring the calf to the
door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord, and he shall put his hand on
the head of the calf before the Lord, and shall slay the calf in the presence of
the Lord. 5 And the anointed priest
who has been consecrated having received of the blood of the calf, shall then
bring it into the tabernacle of witness. 6
And the priest shall dip his finger into the blood, and sprinkle
of the blood seven times before the Lord, over against the holy veil.
7 And the priest shall put of the blood of
the calf on the horns of the altar of the compound incense which is before the
Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness; and all the blood of the calf shall
he pour out by the foot of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, which is by the
doors of the tabernacle of witness. 8
and all the fat of the calf of the sin-offering shall he take off
from it; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the
inwards, 9 and the two kidneys, and
the fat that is upon them, which is on the thighs, and the caul that is on the
liver with the kidneys, them shall he take away, 10
as he takes it away from the calf of the sacrifice of
peace-offering, so shall the priest offer it on the altar of burnt-offering.
11 And they shall take the
skin of the calf, and all his flesh with the head and the extremities and the
belly and the dung, 12 and they
shall carry out the whole calf out of the camp into a clean place, where they
pour out the ashes, and they shall consume it there on wood with fire: it shall
be burnt on the ashes poured out.
13 And if the whole congregation of
Israel trespass ignorantly, and a thing should escape the notice of the
congregation, and they should do one thing forbidden of any of the commands of
the Lord, which ought not to be done, and should transgress:
14 and the sin wherein they have sinned
should become known to them, then shall the congregation bring an unblemished
calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and they shall bring it to the doors of the
tabernacle of witness. 15 And the
elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the calf before
the Lord, and they shall slay the calf before the Lord. 16
And the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the
calf into the tabernacle of witness. 17
And the priest shall dip his finger into some of the blood of the
calf, and shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil of
the sanctuary. 18 And the priest
shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of the incense of
composition, which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness;
and he shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of
whole-burnt-offerings, which is by the door of the tabernacle of witness.
19 And he shall take away all the fat from
it, and shall offer it up on the altar. 20
And he shall do to the calf as he did to the calf of the
sin-offering, so shall it be done; and the priest shall make atonement for them,
and the trespass shall be forgiven them. 21
And they shall carry forth the calf whole without the camp, and
they shall burn the calf as they burnt the former calf: it is the sin-offering
of the congregation.
22 And if a ruler sin, and break one
of all the commands of the Lord his God, doing the thing which ought not
to be done, unwillingly, and shall sin and trespass, 23
and his trespass wherein he has sinned, be known to him,
then shall he offer for his gift a kid of the goats, a male without blemish.
24 And he shall lay his hand on the
head of the kid, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the
victims for whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord; it is a sin-offering.
25 And the priest shall put some of
the blood of the sin-offering with his finger on the horns of the altar of
whole-burnt-offering; and he shall pour out all its blood by the bottom of the
altar of whole-burnt-offerings. 26
And he shall offer up all his fat on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of
peace-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin,
and it shall be forgiven him.
27 And if a soul of the people of the
land should sin unwillingly, in doing a thing contrary to any of the
commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and shall transgress,
28 and his sin should be known to
him, wherein he has sinned, then shall he bring a kid of the goats, a female
without blemish shall he bring for his sin, which he has sinned.
29 And he shall lay his hand on the head of
his sin-offering, and they shall slay the kid of the sin-offering in the place
where they slay the victims for whole-burnt-offerings.
30 And the priest shall take of its blood
with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of
whole-burnt-offerings; and all its blood he shall pour forth by the foot of the
altar. 31 And he shall take away all
the fat, as the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offering, and the
priest shall offer it on the altar for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord; and
the priest shall make atonement for him, and his sin shall be forgiven
him.
32 And if he should offer a
lamb for his sin-offering, he shall offer it a female without blemish.
33 And he shall lay his hand on the head of
the sin-offerings, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the
victims for whole-burnt-offerings. 34
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with
his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings,
and he shall pour out all its blood by the bottom of the altar of
whole-burnt-offering. 35 And he
shall take away all his fat, as the fat of the lamb of the sacrifice of
peace-offering is taken away, and the priest shall put it on the altar for a
whole-burnt-offering to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him
for the sin which he sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
Chapter 5
5:1 And if a soul sin, and hear the
voice of swearing, and he is a witness or has seen or been conscious, if he do
not report it, he shall bear his iniquity. 2
That soul which shall touch any unclean thing, or carcase, or
that which is unclean being taken of beasts, or the dead bodies of
abominable reptiles which are unclean, or carcases of unclean cattle,
3 or should touch the uncleanness of
a man, or whatever kind, which he may touch and be defiled by, and it should
have escaped him, but afterwards he should know, —then he shall have
transgressed. 4 That unrighteous
soul, which determines with his lips to do evil or to do good according to
whatsoever a man may determine with an oath, and it shall have escaped his
notice, and he shall afterwards know it, and so he should
sin in some one of these things: 5
—then shall he declare his sin in the tings wherein he has sinned by that sin.
6 And he shall bring for his
transgressions against the Lord, for his sin which he has sinned, a ewe lamb of
the flock, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make
an atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and his sin shall be
forgiven him.
7 And if he cannot afford a sheep, he
shall bring for his sin which he has sinned, two turtle-doves or two young
pigeons to the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.
8 And he shall bring them to the
priest, and the priest shall bring the sin-offering first; and the priest shall
pinch off the head from the neck, and shall not divide the body.
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the
sin-offering on the side of the altar, but the rest of the blood he shall drop
at the foot of the altar, for it is a sin-offering. 10
And he shall make the second a whole-burnt-offering, as it
is fit; and the priest shall make atonement for his sin which he has sinned, and
it shall be forgiven him.
11 And if
he cannot afford a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he
bring as his gift for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a
sin-offering; he shall not pour oil upon it, nor shall he put frankincense upon
it, because it is a sin-offering. 12
And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest having taken
a handful of it, shall lay the memorial of it on the altar of
whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord; it is a sin-offering.
13 And the priest shall make atonement for him for his
sin, which he has sinned in one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him;
and that which is left shall be the priest’s, as an offering of fine flour.
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 15 The soul which shall be
really unconscious, and shall sin unwillingly in any of the holy things of the
Lord, shall even bring to the Lord for his transgression, a ram of the flock
without blemish, valued according to shekels of silver according to the shekel
of the sanctuary, for his transgression wherein he transgressed.
16 And he shall make compensation for that
wherein he has sinned in the holy things; and he shall add the fifth part to it,
and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the
ram of transgression, and his sin shall be forgiven him.
17 And the soul which shall sin, and do one
thing against any of the commandments of the Lord, which it is not right
to do, and has not known it, and shall have transgressed, and shall have
contracted guilt, 18 he shall even
bring a ram without blemish from the flock, valued at a price of silver
for his transgression to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for his
trespass of ignorance, wherein he ignorantly trespassed, and he knew it not; and
it shall be forgiven him. 19 For he
has surely been guilty of transgression before the Lord.
Chapter 6
6:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 The soul which shall have
sinned, and willfully overlooked the commandments of the Lord, and shall have
dealt falsely in the affairs of his neighbour in the matter of a deposit, or
concerning fellowship, or concerning plunder, or has in anything wronged his
neighbour, 3 or has found that which
was lost, and shall have lied concerning it, and shall have sworn unjustly
concerning any one of all the things, whatsoever a man may do, so as to
sin hereby; 4 it shall come to pass,
whensoever he shall have sinned, and transgressed, that he shall restore the
plunder which he has seized, or redress the injury which he has
committed, or restore the deposit which was entrusted to him, or the lost
article which he has found of any kind, about which he swore unjustly, he shall
even restore it in full; and he shall add to it a fifth part besides; he shall
restore it to him whose it is in the day in which he happens to be convicted.
5 And he shall bring to the Lord for
his trespass, a ram of the flock, without blemish, of value to the amount of the
thing in which he trespassed. 6 And
the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be
forgiven for any one of all the things which he did and trespassed in it.
7 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 Charge Aaron and his sons, saying,
9 This is the law of
whole-burnt-offering; this is the whole-burnt-offering in its burning on the
altar all the night till the morning; and the fire of the altar shall burn on
it, it shall not be put out. 10 And
the priest shall put on the linen tunic, and he shall put the linen drawers on
his body; and shall take away that which has been thoroughly burnt, which the
fire shall have consumed, even the whole-burnt-offering from the altar, and he
shall put it near the altar. 11 And
he shall put off his robe, and put on another robe, and he shall take forth the
offering that has been burnt without the camp into a clean place.
12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept
burning on it, and shall not be extinguished; and the priest shall burn on it
wood every morning, and shall heap on it the whole-burnt-offering, and shall lay
on it the fat of the peace-offering. 13
And the fire shall always burn on the altar; it shall not be
extinguished. 14 This is the law of the sacrifice,
which the sons of Aaron shall bring near before the Lord, before the altar.
15 And he shall take from it a
handful of the fine flour of the sacrifice with its oil, and with all its
frankincense, which are upon the sacrifice; and he shall offer up on the altar a
burnt-offering as a sweet-smelling savour, a memorial of it to the Lord.
16 And Aaron and his sons shall eat that
which is left of it: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place, they
shall eat it in the court of the tabernacle of witness. 17
It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as a
portion to them of the burnt-offerings of the Lord: it is most holy, as the
offering for sin, and as the offering for trespass. 18
Every male of the priests shall eat it: it is a perpetual
ordinance throughout your generations of the burnt-offerings of the Lord;
whosoever shall touch them shall be hallowed.
19
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20
This is the gift of Aaron and of his sons, which they
shall offer to the Lord in the day in which thou shalt anoint him; the tenth of
an ephah of fine flour for a sacrifice continually, the half of it in the
morning, and the half of it in the evening. 21
It shall be made with oil in a frying-pan; he shall offer it
kneaded and in rolls, an offering of fragments, an offering of a sweet
savour unto the Lord. 22 The
anointed priest who is in his place, one of his sons, shall offer it: it
is a perpetual statute, it shall all be consumed. 23
And every sacrifice of a priest shall be thoroughly burnt,
and shall not be eaten. 24 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 25 Speak to Aaron and to his
sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering; —in the place where they slay
the whole-burnt-offering, they shall slay the sin-offerings before the Lord:
they are most holy. 26 The priest
that offers it shall eat it: in a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of
the tabernacle of witness. 27 Every
one that touches the flesh of it shall be holy, and on whosesoever garment any
of its blood shall have been sprinkled, whosoever shall have it sprinkled, shall
be washed in the holy place. 28 And
the earthen vessel, in whichsoever it shall have been sodden, shall be broken;
and if it shall have been sodden in a brazen vessel, he shall scour it and wash
it with water. 29 Every male among
the priests shall eat it: it is most holy to the Lord. 30
And no offerings for sin, of whose blood there shall be
brought any into the tabernacle of witness to make atonement in the holy place,
shall be eaten: they shall be burned with fire.
31 And this is the law
of the ram for the trespass-offering; it is most holy. 32
In the place where they slay the whole-burnt-offering,
they shall slay the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord, and he shall
pour out the blood at the bottom of the altar round about.
33 And he shall offer all the fat from it; and the loins,
and all the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the
inwards, 34 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, that
which is upon the thighs, and the caul upon the liver with the kidney, he shall
take them away. 35 And the priest
shall offer them on the altar a burnt-offering to the Lord; it is for trespass.
36 Every male of the priest shall eat them,
in the holy place they shall eat them: they are most holy.
37 As the sin-offering,
so also is the trespass-offering. There is one law of them; the priest
who shall make atonement with it, his it shall be. 38 And as for the priest who offers a man’s
whole-burnt-offering, the skin of the whole-burnt-offering which he offers,
shall be his. 39 And every sacrifice
which shall be prepared in the oven, and every one which shall be prepared on
the hearth, or on a frying-pan, it is the property of the priest that offers it;
it shall be his. 40
And every sacrifice made up with oil, or not made up with oil,
shall belong to the sons of Aaron, an equal portion to each.
Chapter 7
7:1 This is the law of the
sacrifice of peace-offering, which they shall bring to the Lord.
2 If a man should offer it for praise, then
shall he bring, for the sacrifice of praise, loaves of fine flour made up with
oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and fine flour kneaded with oil.
3 With leavened bread he shall offer his gifts, with the
peace-offering of praise.
4 And he shall bring one of all his gifts,
a separate offering to the Lord: it shall belong to the priest who pours forth
the blood of the peace-offering. 5
And the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering of praise
shall be his, and it shall be eaten in the day in which it is offered: they
shall not leave of it till the morning. 6
And if it be a vow, or he offer his gift of his own will, on whatsoever day he
shall offer his sacrifice, it shall be eaten, and on the morrow.
7 And that which is left of the flesh of the sacrifice
till the third day, shall be consumed with fire. 8
And if he do at all eat of the flesh on the third day, it shall not be accepted
for him that offers: it shall not be reckoned to him, it is pollution; and
whatsoever soul shall eat of it, shall bear his iniquity.
9
And whatsoever flesh shall have touched any unclean thing, it shall not be
eaten, it shall be consumed with fire; every one that is clean shall eat the
flesh. 10 And whatsoever soul shall
eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering which is the Lord’s, and
his uncleanness be upon him, that soul shall perish from his people.
11 And whatsoever soul shall touch
any unclean thing, either of the uncleanness of a man, or of unclean quadrupeds,
or any unclean abominable thing, and shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of
the peace-offering, which is the Lord’s, that soul shall perish from his people.
12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat of oxen or sheep or
goats. 14 And the fat of such
animals as have died of themselves, or have been seized of beasts, may be
employed for any work; but it shall not be eaten for food.
15 Every one that eats fat off the beasts,
from which he will bring a burnt-offering to the Lord—that soul shall perish
from his people. 16 Ye shall eat no
blood in all your habitations, either of beasts or of birds.
17 Every soul that shall eat blood, that
soul shall perish from his people.
18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
19 Thou shalt also speak to the
children of Israel, saying, He that offers a sacrifice of peace-offering, shall
bring his gift to the Lord also from the sacrifice of peace-offering.
20 His hands shall bring the
burnt-offerings to the Lord; the fat which is on the breast and the lobe of the
liver, he shall bring them, so as to set them for a gift before the Lord.
21 And the priest shall offer the fat upon
the altar, and the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons,
22 and ye shall give the right shoulder for
a choice piece to the priest of your sacrifices of peace-offering.
23 He that offers the blood of the
peace-offering, and the fat, of the sons of Aaron, his shall be the right
shoulder for a portion. 24
For I have taken the wave-breast and shoulder of separation from the children of
Israel from the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and I have given them to
Aaron the priest and his sons, a perpetual ordinance due from the
children of Israel.
25 This is the anointing of
Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, their portion of the
burnt-offerings of the Lord, in the day in which he brought them forward to
minister as priests to the Lord; 26
as the Lord commanded to give to them in the day in which he anointed them of
the sons of Israel, a perpetual statute through their generations.
27 This is the law of
the whole-burnt-offerings, and of sacrifice, and of sin-offering, and of
offering for transgression, and of the sacrifice of consecration, and of the
sacrifice of peace-offering; 28
as the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sina, in the day in which he
commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts before the Lord in the
wilderness of Sina.
Chapter 8
8:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Take Aaron and his sons,
and his robes and the anointing oil, and the calf for the sin-offering, and the
two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread, 3
and assemble the whole congregation at the door of the tabernacle
of witness. 4 And Moses did as the
Lord appointed him, and he assembled the congregation at the door of the
tabernacle of witness. 5 And Moses
said to the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to
do. 6 And Moses brought nigh Aaron
and his sons, and washed them with water, 7
and put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and
clothed him with the tunic, and put on him the ephod; 8
and girded him with a girdle according to the make
of the ephod, and clasped him closely with it: and put upon it the oracle, and
put upon the oracle the Manifestation and the Truth. 9
And he put the mitre on his head, and put upon the mitre
in front the golden plate, the most holy thing, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took of the anointing
oil, 11 and sprinkled of it seven
times on the altar; and anointed the altar, and hallowed it, and all things on
it, and the laver, and its foot, and sanctified them; and anointed the
tabernacle and all its furniture, and hallowed it. 12
And Moses poured of the anointing oil on the head of
Aaron; and he anointed him and sanctified him. 13
And Moses brought the sons of Aaron near, and put on them coast
and girded them with girdles, and put on them bonnets, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
14 And Moses brought near the calf for
the sin-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the
calf of the sin-offering. 15 And he
slew it; and Moses took of the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round
about with his finger; and he purified the altar, and poured out the blood at
the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement upon it.
16 And Moses took all the fat that was upon
the inwards, and the lobe on the liver, and both the kidneys, and the fat that
was upon them, and Moses offered them on the altar. 17
But the calf, and his hide, and his flesh, and his dung,
he burnt with fire without the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 And Moses brought near the ram for a
whole-burnt-offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the
ram. And Moses slew the ram: and Moses poured the blood on the altar round
about. 19 And he divided the ram by
its limbs, and Moses offered the head, and the limbs, and the fat; and he washed
the belly and the feet with water. 20
And Moses offered up the whole ram on the altar: it is a
whole-burnt-offering for a sweet-smelling savour; it is a burnt-offering to the
Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
21
And Moses brought the second ram, the ram of consecration, and
Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, and he slew
him; 22 and Moses took of his blood,
and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right
hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. 23
And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron; and Moses put of the
blood on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands,
and on the great toes of their right feet, and Moses poured out the blood on the
altar round about. 24 And he took
the fat, and the rump, and the fat on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and
the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder.
25 And from the basket of consecration,
which was before the Lord, he also took one unleavened loaf, and one loaf made
with oil, and one cake; and put them upon the fat, and the right
shoulder: 26 and put them all on the
hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and offered them up for a
wave-offering before the Lord. 27
And Moses took them at their hands, and Moses offered them on the altar, on the
whole-burnt-offering of consecration, which is a smell of sweet savour: it is a
burnt-offering to the Lord. 28 And
Moses took the breast, and separated it for a heave-offering before the Lord,
from the ram of consecration; and it became Moses’ portion, as the Lord
commanded Moses.
29 And Moses took
of the anointing oil, and of the blood that was on the altar, and sprinkled it
on Aaron, and on his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with
him. 30 And he sanctified Aaron and
his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
31 And Moses said to Aaron and to his
sons, Boil the flesh in the tent of the tabernacle of witness in the holy place;
and there ye shall eat it and the loaves in the basket of consecration, as it
has been appointed me, the Lord saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat
them. 32 And that which is left of
the flesh and of the loaves burn ye with fire. 33
And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of
witness for seven days, until the day be fulfilled, the day of your
consecration; for in seven days shall he consecrate you,
34 as he did in this day on which the Lord commanded me to
do so, to make an atonement for you. 35
And ye shall remain seven days at the door of the tabernacle of
witness, day and night; ye shall observe the ordinances of the Lord, that ye die
not; for so has the Lord God commanded me. 36
And Aaron and his sons performed all these commands which the
Lord commanded Moses.
Chapter 9
9:1 And it came to pass on the eighth
day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel,
2 and Moses said to Aaron, Take to thyself
a young calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a
whole-burnt-offering, unblemished, and offer them before the Lord.
3 And speak to the elders of Israel,
saying, Take one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a young calf, and a
lamb of a year old for a whole-burnt-offering, spotless, 4
and a calf and a ram for a peace offering before the Lord,
and fine flour mingled with oil, for to-day the Lord will appear among you.
5 And they took as Moses commanded
them before the tabernacle of witness, and all the congregation drew nigh, and
they stood before the Lord. 6 And
Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord has spoken; do it, and the
glory of the Lord shall appear among you. 7
And Moses said to Aaron, Draw nigh to the altar, and offer thy
sin-offering, and thy whole-burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and
for thy house; and offer the gifts of the people, and make atonement for them,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
8 And Aaron drew nigh to the altar,
and slew the calf of his sin-offering. 9
And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he dipped his
finger into the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and he poured out
the blood at the bottom of the altar. 10
And he offered up on the altar the fat and the kidneys and the
lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, according as the Lord commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the hide he
burnt with fire outside of the camp. 12
And he slew the whole-burnt-offering; and the sons of Aaron
brought the blood to him, and he poured it on the altar round about.
13 And they brought the
whole-burnt-offering, according to its pieces; them and the head he put upon the
altar. 14 And he washed the belly
and the feet with water, and he put them on the whole-burnt-offering on the
altar.
15 And he brought the gift of
the people, and took the goat of the sin-offering of the people, and slew it,
and purified it as also the first. 16
And he brought the whole-burnt-offering, and offered it in due
form. 17 And he brought the
sacrifice and filled his hands with it, and laid it on the altar, besides the
morning whole-burnt-offering. 18 And
he slew the calf, and the ram of the sacrifice of peace-offering of the people;
and the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him, and he poured it out on the
altar round about. 19 And he took
the fat of the calf, and the hind quarters of the ram, and the fat covering the
belly, and the two kidneys, and the fat upon them, and the caul on the liver.
20 And he put the fat on the
breasts, and offered the fat on the altar. 21
And Aaron separated the breast and the right shoulder as a
choice-offering before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hands on the
people and blessed them; and after he had offered the sin-offering, and the
whole-burnt-offerings, and the peace-offerings, he came down.
23 And Moses and Aaron entered into
the tabernacle of witness. And they came out and blessed all the people, and the
glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. 24
And fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured the offerings on
the altar, both the whole-burnt-offerings and the fat; and all the people saw,
and were amazed, and fell upon their faces.
Chapter 10
10:1 And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab
and Abiud, took each his censer, and put fire therein, and threw incense
thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which the Lord did not
command them, 2 and fire came forth
from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 And Moses said to Aaron, This is the
thing which the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified among them that draw
night to me, and I will be glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was
pricked in his heart. 4 And
Moses called Misadae, and Elisaphan, sons of Oziel, sons of the brother of
Aaron’s father, and said to them, Draw near and take your brethren from before
the sanctuary out of the camp. 5 And
they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.
6 And Moses said to Aaron, and
Eleazar and Ithamar his sons that were left, Ye shall not make bare your heads,
and ye shall not tear your garments; that ye die not, and so there should
be wrath on all the congregation: but your brethren, even all the house
of Israel, shall lament for the burning, with which they were burnt by the Lord.
7 And ye shall not go forth from the
door of the tabernacle of witness, that ye die not; for the Lord’s anointing oil
is upon you: and they did according to the word of Moses.
8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,
9 Ye shall not drink wine nor strong
drink, thou and thy sons with thee, whensoever ye enter into the tabernacle of
witness, or when ye approach the altar, so shall ye not die; it is a
perpetual statute for your generations, 10
to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and
unclean, 11 and to teach the
children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.
12 And Moses said to Aaron, and to
Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who survived, Take the sacrifice that is
left of the burnt-offerings of the Lord, and ye shall eat unleavened bread by
the altar: it is most holy. 13 And
ye shall eat it in the holy place; for this is a statute for thee and a statute
for thy sons, of the burnt-offerings to the Lord; for so it has been commanded
me. 14 And ye shall eat the breast
of separation, and the shoulder of the choice-offering in the holy place, thou
and thy sons and thy house with thee; for it has been given as an ordinance for
thee and an ordinance for thy sons, of the sacrifices of peace-offering of the
children of Israel. 15 They shall
bring the shoulder of the choice-offering, and the breast of the separation upon
the burnt-offerings of the fat, to separate for a separation before the Lord;
and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for thee and thy sons and thy daughters
with thee, as the Lord commanded Moses.
16
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, but it
had been consumed by fire; and Moses was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar the sons
of Aaron that were left, saying, 17
Why did ye not eat the sin-offering in the holy place? for because it is most
holy he has given you this to eat, that ye might take away the sin of the
congregation, and make atonement for them before the Lord.
18 For the blood of it was not brought into
the holy place: ye shall eat it within, before the Lord, as the Lord
commanded me. 19 And Aaron spoke to
Moses, saying, If they have brought nigh to-day their sin-offerings, and their
whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, and these events have happened to me, and
yet I should eat to-day of the sin-offerings, would it be pleasing to the
Lord? 20 And Moses heard it,
and it pleased him.
Chapter 11
11:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and
Aaron, saying, 2 Speak ye to the
sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts
that are upon the earth. 3 Every
beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud
among beasts, these ye shall eat. 4
But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that
part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does
not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. 5
And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the
hoof, this is unclean to you. 6 And
the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this
is unclean to you. 7 And the swine,
because this animal divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it
does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8
Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their
carcases; these are unclean to you.
9 And these are what ye shall
eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the
waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these ye shall eat.
10 And all things which have not fins or
scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters
produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they
shall be abominations to you. 11 Ye
shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall abhor their carcases.
12 And all things that have not fins or
scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
13 And these are the things which ye shall
abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle
and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle. 14
And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the
sea-mew, and the like to it: 16 and
every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
17 and the night-raven and the cormorant
and the stork, 18 and the red-bill,
and the pelican, and swan, 19 and
the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
20 And all winged creatures that
creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
21 But these ye shall eat of the creeping winged animals,
which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the
earth. 22 And these of them ye shall
eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the
cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like. 23
Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four
feet, is an abomination to you. 24
And by these ye shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be
unclean till the evening. 25 And
every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be
unclean till the evening. 26 And
whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew
the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall
be unclean till evening. 27 And
every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on
all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be
unclean till evening. 28 And he that
takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till
evening: these are unclean to you.
29
And these are unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth,
the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard, 30
the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and
the mole. 31 These are unclean to
you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their
carcases shall be unclean till evening. 32
And on whatsoever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be
unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every
vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be
unclean till evening; and then it shall be clean.
33 And every earthen vessel into which one of these things
shall fall, whatsoever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.
34 And all food that is eaten, on
which water shall come from such a vessel, shall be unclean; and every
beverage which is drunk in any such vessel, shall be unclean.
35 And every thing on which there shall
fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be
broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.
36 Only if the water be of fountains
of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that
touches their carcases shall be unclean. 37
And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed
which shall be sown, it shall be clean. 38
But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies
fall upon it, it is unclean to you. 39
And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat,
he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
40 And he that eats of their carcases shall
wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their
carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
till evening. 41 And every reptile
that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be
eaten. 42 And every animal
that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four feet
continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the
earth—ye shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.
43 And ye shall not defile your souls
with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and ye shall not be polluted
with them, and ye shall not be unclean by them. 44
For I am the Lord your God; and ye shall be sanctified, and ye
shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and ye shall not defile your
souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth. 45
For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of
Egypt to be your God; and ye shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.
46 This is the law concerning beasts and
birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature
creeping on the earth; 47 to
distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring
forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as
should not be eaten.
Chapter 12
12:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Speak to the children of
Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whatsoever woman shall have conceived and
born a male child shall be unclean seven days, she shall be unclean according to
the days of separation for her monthly courses. 3
And on the eighth day she shall circumcise the flesh of his
foreskin. 4 And for thirty-three
days she shall continue in her unclean blood; she shall touch nothing holy, and
shall not enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.
5 But if she should have born a
female child, then she shall be unclean twice seven days, according to the time
of her monthly courses; and for sixty-six days shall she remain in her unclean
blood.
6 And when the days of her
purification shall have been fulfilled for a son or a daughter, she shall bring
a lamb of a year old without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering, and a young
pigeon or turtle-dove for a sin-offering to the door of the tabernacle of
witness, to the priest. 7 And he
shall present it before the Lord, and the priest shall make atonement for her,
and shall purge her from the fountain of her blood; this is the law of her who
bears a male or a female. 8 And if
she cannot afford a lamb, then shall she take two turtle-doves or two young
pigeons, one for a whole-burnt-offering, and one for a sin-offering; and the
priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be purified.
Chapter 13
13:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and
Aaron, saying, 2 If any man should
have in the skin of his flesh a bright clear spot, and there should be in the
skin of his flesh a plague of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron the priest,
or to one of his sons the priests. 3
And the priest shall view the spot in the skin of his flesh; and
if the hair in the spot be changed to white, and the appearance of
the spot be below the skin of the flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the
priest shall look upon it, and pronounce him unclean. 4
But if the spot be clear and white in the skin of his
flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and its hair have
not changed itself for white hair, but it is dark, then the priest shall
separate him that has the spot seven days; 5
and the priest shall look on the spot the seventh day; and,
behold, if the spot remains before him, if the spot has not spread
in the skin, then the priest shall separate him the second time seven days.
6 And the priest shall look upon him
the second time on the seventh day; and, behold, if the spot be dark,
and the spot have not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce
him clean; for it is a mere mark, and the man shall wash his garments and
be clean. 7 But if the bright spot
should have changed and spread in the skin, after the priest has seen him for
the purpose of purifying him, then shall he appear the second time to the
priest, 8 and the priest shall look
upon him; and, behold, if the mark have spread in the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
9
And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come
to the priest; 10 and the priest
shall look, and, behold, if it is a white spot in the skin, and it has changed
the hair to white, and there be some of the sound part of the quick flesh
in the sore— 11 it is a leprosy
waxing old in the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean,
and shall separate him, because he is unclean.
12
And if the leprosy should have come out very evidently in the
skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the patient from the head to
the feet, wheresoever the priest shall look; 13
then the priest shall look, and, behold, the leprosy has covered
all the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him clean of the
plague, because it has changed all to white, it is clean.
14 But on whatsoever day the quick flesh shall appear on
him, he shall be pronounced unclean. 15
And the priest shall look upon the sound flesh, and the sound
flesh shall prove him to be unclean; for it is unclean, it is a leprosy.
16 But if the sound flesh be restored and
changed to white, then shall he come to the priest;
17 and the priest shall see him,
and, behold, if the plague is turned white, then the priest shall
pronounce the patient clean: he is clean.
18 And if the flesh should have become
an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed, 19
and there should be in the place of the ulcer a white sore, or
one looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen by the priest;
20 then the priest shall look, and,
behold, if the appearance be beneath the skin, and its hair has changed to
white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; because it is a leprosy, it
has broken out in the ulcer. 21 But
if the priest look, and behold there is no white hair on it, and it be not below
the skin of the flesh, and it be dark-coloured; then the priest shall separate
him seven days. 22 But if it
manifestly spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
is a plague of leprosy; it has broken out in the ulcer. 23
But if the bright spot should remain in its place and not
spread, it is the scar of the ulcer; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 And if the flesh be in his skin
in a state of fiery inflammation, and there should be in his skin the
part which is healed of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused
with red or very white; 25 then the
priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the hair being white is
changed to a bright colour, and its appearance is lower than the skin, it is a
leprosy; it has broken out in the inflammation, and the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy. 26
But if the priest should look, and, behold, there is not in the
bright spot any white hair, and it should not be lower than the skin, and it
should be dark, then the priest shall separate him seven days.
27 And the priest shall look upon him on
the seventh day; and if the spot be much spread in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the
ulcer. 28 But if the bright spot
remain stationary, and be not spread in the skin, but the sore should be
dark, it is a scar of inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean,
for it is the mark of the inflammation.
29
And if a man or a woman have in them a plague of leprosy in the
head or the beard; 30 then the
priest shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the appearance of it be
beneath the skin, and in it there be thin yellowish hair, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a scurf, it is a leprosy of the head or a leprosy
of the beard. 31 And if the priest
should see the plague of the scurf, and, behold, the appearance of it be not
beneath the skin, and there is no yellowish hair in it, then the priest shall
set apart him that has the plague of the scurf seven days.
32 And the priest shall look at the plague
on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scurf be not spread, and there be
no yellowish hair on it, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow under the
skin; 33 then the skin shall be
shaven, but the scurf shall not be shaven; and the priest shall set aside the
person having the scurf the second time for seven days. 34
And the priest shall see the scurf on the seventh day;
and, behold, if the scurf is not spread in the skin after the man’s being
shaved, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow beneath the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.
35 But if the scurf be indeed spread
in the skin after he has been purified, 36
then the priest shall look, and, behold, if the scurf be
spread in the skin, the priest shall not examine concerning the yellow hair, for
he is unclean. 37 But if the scurf
remain before him in its place, and a dark hair should have arisen in it,
the scurf is healed: he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 And if a man or woman should have
in the skin of their flesh spots of a bright whiteness, 39
then the priest shall look; and, behold, there being
bright spots of a bright whiteness in the skin of their flesh, it is a tetter;
it burst forth in the skin of his flesh; he is clean. 40
And if any one’s head should lose the hair, he is only
bald, he is clean. 41 And if his
head should lose the hair in front, he is forehead bald: he is clean.
42 And if there should be in his baldness
of head, or his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in
his baldness of head, or baldness of forehead. 43
And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the
appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of head or
baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of his flesh,
44 he is a leprous man: the priest shall
surely pronounce him unclean, his plague is in his head.
45 And the leper in whom the plague is, let his garments
be ungirt, and his head uncovered; and let him have a covering put upon his
mouth, and he shall be called unclean. 46
All the days in which the plague shall be upon him, being
unclean, he shall be esteemed unclean; he shall dwell apart, his place of
sojourn shall be without the camp.
47 And if a garment have in it the
plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,
48 either in the warp or in the woof, or in
the linen, or in the woollen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship of
skin, 49 and the plague be greenish
or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof,
or in any utensil of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to
the priest. 50 And the priest shall
look upon the plague, and the priest shall set apart that which has the
plague seven days. 51 And the priest
shall look upon the plague on the seventh day; and if the plague be spread in
the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatsoever
things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed
leprosy; it is unclean. 52 He shall
burn the garment, either the warp or woof in woollen garments or in flaxen, or
in any utensil of skin, in which there may be the plague; because it is a
confirmed leprosy; it shall be burnt with fire.
53
And if the priest should see, and the plague be not spread in the
garments, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin,
54 then the priest shall give directions,
and one shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the
priest shall set it aside a second time for seven days. 55
And the priest shall look upon it after the plague has
been washed; and if this, even the plague, has not changed its
appearance, and the plague does not spread, it is unclean; it shall be burnt
with fire: it is fixed in the garment, in the warp, or in the woof.
56 And if the priest should look, and the
spot be dark after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment,
either from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.
57 And if it should still appear in the garment, either in
the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy bursting
forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burnt with fire.
58 And the garment, or the warp, or the
woof, or any article of skin, which shall be washed, and the plague depart from
it, shall also be washed again, and shall be clean. 59
This is the law of the plague of leprosy of a woollen or
linen garment, either of the warp, or woof, or any leathern article, to
pronounce it clean or unclean.
Chapter 14
14:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 This is the law of the
leper: in whatsoever day he shall have been cleansed, then shall he be brought
to the priest. 3 And the priest
shall come forth out of the camp, and the priest shall look, and, behold, the
plague of the leprosy is removed from the leper. 4
And the priest shall give directions, and they shall take for him
that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and
hyssop. 5 And the priest shall give
direction, and they shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running
water. 6 And as for the living bird
he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and
he shall dip them and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was slain
over running water. 7 And he shall
sprinkle seven times upon him that was cleansed of his leprosy, and he shall be
clean; and he shall let go the living bird into the field.
8 and the man that has been cleansed shall
wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself in
water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp, and shall
remain out of his house seven days. 9
And it shall come to pass on the seventh day, he shall shave off
all his hair, his head and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair shall
he shave; and he shall wash his garments, and wash his body with water, and
shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take
two lambs without spot of a year old, and one ewe lamp without spot of a year
old, and three-tenths of fine flour for sacrifice kneaded with oil, and one
small cup of oil. 11 And the priest
that cleanses shall present the man under purification, and these offerings
before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of witness.
12 And the priest shall take one lamb, and
offer him for a trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and set them apart for a
special offering before the Lord. 13
and they shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the
whole-burnt-offerings, and the sin-offerings, in the holy places; for it is a
sin-offering: as the trespass-offering, it belongs to the priest, it is most
holy. 14 And the priest shall take
of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of
the right ear of the person under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand,
and on the great toe of his right foot. 15
And the priest shall take of the cup of oil, and shall pour it
upon his own left hand. 16 And he
shall dip with the finger of his right hand into some of the oil that is
in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle with his finger seven times before the
Lord. 17 And the remaining oil that
is in his hand, the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is
under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his
right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.
18 And the remaining oil that is on the
hand of the priest, the priest shall put on the head of the cleansed leper,
and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.
19 And the priest shall sacrifice the
sin-offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the person under
purification to cleanse him from his sin, and afterwards the priest shall
slay the whole-burnt-offering. 20
And the priest shall offer the whole-burnt-offering, and the sacrifice upon the
altar before the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall
be cleansed.
21 And if he should be poor, and
cannot afford so much, he shall take one lamb for his transgression for a
separate-offering, so as to make propitiation for him, and a tenth deal of fine
flour mingled with oil for a sacrifice, and one cup of oil,
22 and two turtle-doves, or two young
pigeons, as he can afford; and the one shall be for a sin-offering, and the
other for a whole-burnt-offering. 23
And he shall bring them on the eighth day, to purify him, to the
priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of
the trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and place them for a set-offering
before the Lord. 25 And he shall
slay the lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood
of the trespass-offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is
under purification, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of
his right foot. 26 And the priest
shall pour of the oil on his own left hand. 27
And the priest shall sprinkle with the finger of his right hand
some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.
28 And the priest shall put of the oil that
is on his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on
the place of the blood of the trespass-offering. 29
And that which is left of the oil which is on the hand of the
priest he shall put on the head of him that is purged, and the priest shall make
atonement for him before the Lord.
30
And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves or of the young
pigeons, as he can afford it, 31 the
one for a sin-offering, the other for a whole-burnt-offering with the
meat-offering, and the priest shall make an atonement before the Lord for him
that is under purification. 32 This
is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, and who cannot afford the
offerings for his purification.
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and
Aaron, saying, 34 Whensoever ye
shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession,
and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your
possession; 35 then the owner of the
house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a
plague in the house. 36 And the
priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest
comes in to see the plague, and thus none of the things in the house
shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the
house. 37 And he shall look on the
plague, and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house, he
will see greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them will be
beneath the surface of the walls. 38
And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the
house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.
39 And the priest shall return on the
seventh day and view the house; and, behold, if the plague is spread in
the walls of the house, 40 then the
priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the
plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.
41 And they shall scrape the house within
round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an
unclean place. 42 And they shall
take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the former
stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.
43 And if the plague should return again,
and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the
house is scraped, and after it has been plastered, 44
then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is
spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.
45 And they shall take down the
house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar
without the city into an unclean place. 46
And he that goes into the house at any time, during its
separation, shall be unclean until evening. 47
And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be
unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments,
and be unclean until evening.
48 and
if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at
all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest
shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take to purify the house
two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.
50 And he shall slay one bird in an earthen
vessel over running water. 51 And he
shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living
bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and
with them he shall sprinkle the house seven times. 52
and he shall purify 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 spun scarlet. 53
And he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the
field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law concerning
every plague of leprosy and scurf, 55
and of the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56 and of a sore, and of a clear spot, and
of a shining one, 57 and of
declaring in what day it is unclean, and in what day it shall be purged: this
is the law of the leprosy.
Chapter 15
15:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and
Aaron, saying, 2 Speak to the
children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whatever man shall have an issue
out of his body, his issue is unclean. 3
And this is the law of his uncleanness; whoever has a
gonorrhoea out of his body, this is his uncleanness in him by reason of the
issue, by which, his body is affected through the issue: all the days of the
issue of his body, by which his body is affected through the issue, there is his
uncleanness. 4 Every bed on which he
that has the issue shall happen to lie, is unclean; and every seat on which he
that has the issue may happen to sit, shall be unclean. 5
And the man who shall touch his bed, shall wash his
garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till evening.
6 And whosoever sits on the seat on which
he that has the issue may have sat, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself
in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 7
And he that touches the skin of him that has the issue, shall
wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till evening.
8 And if he that has the issue
should spit upon one that is clean, that person shall wash his garments,
and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
9 And every ass’s saddle, on which the man with the issue
shall have mounted, shall be unclean till evening. 10
And every one that touches whatsoever shall have been
under him shall be unclean until evening; and he that takes them up shall wash
his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
11 And whomsoever he that has the
issue shall touch, if he have not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his
garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
12 And the earthen vessel which he
that has the issue shall happen to touch, shall be broken; and a wooden vessel
shall be washed with water, and shall be clean. 13
and if he that has the issue should be cleansed of his issue,
then shall he number to himself seven days for his purification; and he shall
wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall take to
himself two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, and he shall bring them before
the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall give them to the
priest. 15 And the priest shall
offer them one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering; and
the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.
16 And the man whose seed of copulation
shall happen to go forth from him, shall then wash his whole body, and shall be
unclean until evening. 17 And every
garment, and every skin on which there shall be the seed of copulation shall
both be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.
18 And a woman, if a man shall lie with her with seed of
copulation—they shall both bathe themselves in water and shall be unclean until
evening.
19 And the woman whosoever shall have
an issue of blood, when her issue shall be in her body, shall be seven days in
her separation; every one that touches her shall be unclean until evening.
20 And every thing whereon she shall
lie in her separation, shall be unclean; and whatever she shall sit upon, shall
be unclean.
21 And whosoever shall
touch her bed shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be
unclean until evening. 22 and every
one that touches any vessel on which she shall sit, shall wash his garments and
bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
23 And whether it be while she is on her
bed, or on a seat which she may happen to sit upon when he touches her, he shall
be unclean till evening. 24 And if
any one shall lie with her, and her uncleanness be upon him, he shall be unclean
seven days; and every bed on which he shall have lain shall be unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of blood
many days, not in the time of her separation; if the blood should also flow
after her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be
as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. 26
And every bed on which she shall lie all the days of her
flux shall be to her as the bed of her separation, and every seat whereon she
shall sit shall be unclean according to the uncleanness of her separation.
27 Every one that touches it shall
be unclean; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and
shall be unclean till evening. 28
But if she shall be cleansed from her flux, then she shall number to herself
seven days, and afterwards she shall be esteemed clean. 29
And on the eighth day she shall take two turtle-doves, or
two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of witness. 30 And the
priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a
whole-burnt-offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before the
Lord for her unclean flux.
31 And ye
shall cause the children of Israel to beware of their uncleannesses; so they
shall not die for their uncleanness, in polluting my tabernacle that is among
them. 32 This is the law of the man
who has an issue, and if one discharge seed of copulation, so that he should be
polluted by it. 33 And this is
the law for her that has the issue of blood in her separation, and as to the
person who has an issue of seed, in his issue: it is a law for the male
and the female, and for the man who shall have lain with her that is set apart.
Chapter 16
16:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses after
the two sons of Aaron died in bringing strange fire before the Lord, so they
died. 2 And the Lord said to Moses,
Speak to Aaron thy brother, and let him not come in at all times into the holy
place within the veil before the propitiatory, which is upon the ark of the
testimony, and he shall not die; for I will appear in a cloud on the
propitiatory. 3 Thus shall Aaron
enter into the holy place; with a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and
having a ram for a whole-burnt-offering. 4
And he shall put on the consecrated linen tunic, and he shall
have on his flesh the linen drawers, and shall gird himself with a linen girdle,
and shall put on the linen cap, they are holy garments; and he shall bathe all
his body in water, and shall put them on.
5 And he shall take of the
congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin-offering,
and one lamb for a whole-burnt-offering. 6
And Aaron shall bring the calf for his own sin-offering, and
shall make atonement for himself and for his house. 7
And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the
Lord by the door of the tabernacle of witness. 8
and Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for the
Lord, and the other for the scape-goat. 9
And Aaron shall bring forward the goat on which the lot for the
Lord fell, and shall offer him for a sin-offering. 10
and the goat upon which the lot of the scape-goat came, he
shall present alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon him, so as to send
him away as a scape-goat, and he shall send him into the wilderness.
11 And Aaron shall bring the calf for his
sin, and he shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and he shall
kill the calf for his sin-offering. 12
And he shall take his censer full of coals of fire off the altar,
which is before the Lord; and he shall fill his hands with fine compound
incense, and shall bring it within the veil. 13
And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, and the
smoke of the incense shall cover the mercy-seat over the tables of testimony,
and he shall not die. 14 And he
shall take of the blood of the calf, and sprinkle with his finger on the
mercy-seat eastward: before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the
blood with his finger.
15 And he shall kill the goat for the
sin-offering that is for the people, before the Lord; and he shall bring in of
its blood within the veil, and shall do with its blood as he did with the blood
of the calf, and shall sprinkle its blood on the mercy-seat, in front of the
mercy-seat. 16 and he shall make
atonement for the sanctuary on account of the uncleanness of the children of
Israel, and for their trespasses in the matter of all their sins; and thus shall
he do to the tabernacle of witness established among them in the midst of their
uncleanness. 17 and there shall be
no man in the tabernacle of witness, when he goes in to make atonement in the
holy place, until he shall have come out; and he shall make atonement for
himself, and for his house, and for all the congregation of the children of
Israel. 18 And he shall come forth
to the altar that is before the Lord, and he shall make atonement upon it; and
he shall take of the blood of the calf, and of the blood of the goat, and shall
put it on the horns of the altar round about. 19
And he shall sprinkle some of the blood upon it seven times with
his finger, and shall purge it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the
children of Israel.
20 And he shall finish making
atonement for the sanctuary and for the tabernacle of witness, and for the
altar; and he shall make a cleansing for the priests, and he shall bring the
living goat; 21 and Aaron shall lay
his hands on the head of the live goat, and he shall declare over him all the
iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their unrighteousness, and all
their sins; and he shall lay them upon the head of the live goat, and shall send
him by the hand of a ready man into the wilderness. 22
And the goat shall bear their unrighteousnesses upon him
into a desert land; and Aaron shall send away the goat into the wilderness.
23 And Aaron shall enter into the
tabernacle of witness, and shall put off the linen garment, which he had put on,
as he entered into the holy place, and shall lay it by there.
24 And he shall bathe his body in water in
the holy place, and shall put on his raiment, and shall go out and offer the
whole-burnt-offering for himself and the whole-burnt-offering for the people:
and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and for the people, as
for the priests. 25 And he shall
offer the fat for the sin-offering on the altar.
26
And he that sends forth the goat that has been set apart to be
let go, shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards
shall enter into the camp. 27 And
the calf for the sin-offering, and the goat for the sin-offering, whose blood
was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, they shall carry forth out
of the camp, and burn them with fire, even their skins and their flesh and their
dung. 28 And he that burns them
shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall
enter into the camp.
29 And this shall be a perpetual
statute for you; in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall
humble your souls, and shall do no work, the native and the stranger who abides
among you. 30 For in this day he
shall make an atonement for you, to cleanse you from all your sins before the
Lord, and ye shall be purged. 31
This shall be to you a most holy sabbath, a rest, and ye shall humble your
souls; it is a perpetual ordinance. 32
The priest whomsoever they shall anoint shall make atonement, and
whomsoever they shall consecrate to exercise the priestly office after his
father; and he shall put on the linen robe, the holy garment.
33 And he shall make atonement for the most
holy place, and the tabernacle of witness; and he shall make atonement for the
altar, and for the priests; and he shall make atonement for all the
congregation. 34 And this shall be
to you a perpetual statute to make atonement for the children of Israel for all
their sins: it shall be done once in the year, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Chapter 17
17:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and to his
sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, This is the
word which the Lord has commanded, saying, 3
Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding
among you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who
shall kill it out of the camp, 4 and
shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice
it for a whole-burnt-offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for
a sweet-smelling savour: and whosoever shall slay it without, and shall not
bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift
to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that
man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.
5 That the children of Israel may offer
their sacrifices, all that they shall slay in the fields, and bring them to the
Lord unto the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall
sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord. 6
And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about
before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the
fat for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
7
And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain gods
after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your
generations. 8 And thou shalt say to
them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the sons of the proselytes
abiding among you, shall offer a whole-burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
9 and shall not bring it to the door of the
tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed
from among his people.
10 And whatever man of the children of
Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you, shall eat any blood, I will even
set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its
people. 11 For the life of flesh is
its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your
souls; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul. 12
Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you
shall eat blood, and the stranger that abides among you shall not eat blood.
13 And whatever man of the children
of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you shall take any animal in
hunting, beast, or bird, which is eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and
cover it in the dust. 14 For the
blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall
not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every
one that eats it shall be destroyed. 15
And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is
taken of beasts, either among the natives or among the strangers, shall wash his
garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then
shall he be clean. 16 But if he do
not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear
his iniquity.
Chapter 18
18:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Speak to the children of
Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I am the Lord your God.
3 Ye shall not do according to the devices
of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan,
into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their
ordinances. 4 Ye shall observe my
judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I am the
Lord your God. 5 So ye shall keep
all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he
shall live in them: I am the Lord your God.
6 No man shall draw nigh to any of his
near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I am the Lord.
7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, for she is thy mother; thou shalt
not uncover her nakedness. 8 Thou
shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife; it is thy father’s
nakedness. 9 The nakedness of thy
sister by thy father or by thy mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness
thou shalt not uncover. 10 The
nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or thy daughter’s daughter, their nakedness
thou shalt not uncover; because it is thy nakedness. 11
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of
thy father’s wife; she is thy sister by the same father: thou shalt not uncover
her nakedness. 12 Thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister, for she is near akin to thy
father. 13 Thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, for she is near akin to thy mother.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father’s brother, and thou shalt not go in to his wife; for she is thy
relation. 15 Thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law, for she is thy son’s wife, thou shalt not
uncover her nakedness. 16 Thou shalt
not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.
17 The nakedness of a woman and her
daughter shalt thou not uncover; her son’s daughter, and her daughter’s
daughter, shalt thou not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are thy
kinswomen: it is impiety. 18 Thou
shalt not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her
nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.
19 And thou shalt not go in to a woman
under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.
20 And thou shalt not lie with thy
neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her. 21
And thou shalt not give of thy seed to serve a ruler; and thou
shalt not profane my holy name; I am the Lord. 22
And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it
is an abomination. 23 Neither shalt
thou lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither
shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it;
for it is an abomination. 24 Do not
defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations
are defiled, which I drive out before you, 25
and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity
to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
26 And ye shall keep all my statutes
and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the
native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you: 27
(for all these abominations the men of the land did who
were before you, and the land was defiled,) 28
and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as
it was aggrieved with the nations before you. 29
For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that
do them shall be destroyed from among their people. 30
And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any
of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye
shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.
Chapter 19
19:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Speak to the congregation
of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye shall be holy; for I
the Lord your God am holy. 3
Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and ye shall keep my
sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. 4
Ye shall not follow idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves
molten gods: I am the Lord your God. 5
And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall
offer it acceptable from yourselves. 6
In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and
on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it
shall be thoroughly burnt with fire. 7
And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit
for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted. 8
And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has
profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be
destroyed from among their people.
9
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not complete
the reaping of your field with exactness, and thou shalt not gather that which
falls from thy reaping. 10 And thou
shalt not go over the gathering of thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the
remaining grapes of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and the
stranger: I am the Lord your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, ye shall not
lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.
12 And ye shall not swear unjustly
by my name, and ye shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord
your God. 13 Thou shalt not injure
thy neighbour, neither do thou rob him, neither shall the wages of thy
hireling remain with thee until the morning.
14
Thou shalt not revile the deaf, neither shalt thou put a
stumbling-block in the way of the blind; and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I
am the Lord your God. 15 Thou shalt
not act unjustly in judgment: thou shalt not accept the person of the poor, nor
admire the person of the mighty; with justice shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not walk deceitfully
among thy people; thou shalt not rise up against the blood of thy neighbour: I
am the Lord your God. 17 Thou shalt
not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour,
so thou shalt not bear sin on his account. 18
And thy hand shall not avenge thee; and thou shalt not be angry
with the children of thy people; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; I
am the Lord.
19 Ye shall observe my law: thou shalt
not let thy cattle gender with one of a different kind, and thou shalt not sow
thy vineyard with diverse seed; and thou shalt not put upon thyself a mingled
garment woven of two materials. 20
And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a
home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, and her
freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited with punishment;
but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.
21 And he shall bring for his trespass to
the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a
trespass-offering. 22 And the priest
shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the
Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven
him. 23 And whenever ye shall enter
into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit-tree,
then shall ye purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years
uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten. 24
And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of
praise to the Lord. 25 And in the
fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the
Lord your God.
26 Eat not on the
mountains, nor shall ye employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
27 Ye shall not make a round cutting
of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard. 28
And ye shall not make cuttings in your body for a dead
body, and ye shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.
29 Thou shalt not profane thy
daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be
filled with iniquity.
30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord. 31
Ye shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits,
nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the
Lord your God. 32 Thou shalt rise up
before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shalt fear thy
God: I am the Lord your God. 33 And
if there should come to you a stranger in your land, ye shall not afflict him.
34 The stranger that comes to you
shall be among you as the native, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye
were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 Ye shall not act unrighteously in
judgment, in measures and weights and scales. 36
There shall be among you just balances and just weights and just
liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt. 37 And ye shall keep all my
law and all my ordinances, and ye shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
Chapter 20
20:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 Thou shalt also say to the
children of Israel, If there shall be any of the children of Israel, or
of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to
Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him
with stones. 3 And I will set my
face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has
given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of
them that are consecrated to me. 4
And if the natives of the land should in anywise overlook that man in giving of
his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death; 5
then will I set my face against that man and his family,
and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he
should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
6
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them
divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my
face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
7 And ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your
God am holy. 8 And ye shall
observe my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord that sanctifies you.
9 Every man who shall speak evil of
his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his
father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 Whatever man shall commit adultery
with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his
neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 And if any one should lie with his
father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness: let them both die the
death, they are guilty. 12 And if
any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for
they have wrought impiety, they are guilty. 13
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both
wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
14 Whosoever shall take a woman and her
mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall
not be iniquity among you. 15 And
whosoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and ye shall kill the
beast. 16 And whatever woman shall
approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, ye shall kill the woman and
the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty. 17
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his
mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a
reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has
uncovered his sister’s nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
18 And whatever man shall lie with a woman
that is set apart for a flux, and shall uncover her nakedness, he has
uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: th |
