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