Chapter 1
1 And The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of
the congregation, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them,
If any man brings an offering to The LORD, you shall bring your offering
of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.
3 If his offering is 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. 4 And he shall put
his hand on the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for
him to make atonement for him. 5 And he shall kill the bullock before The
LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the
blood round about on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. 6 And he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into
its pieces. 7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar,
and lay the wood in order on the fire: 8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall
lay the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood that is
on the fire which is on the altar: 9 But he shall wash its inwards
and its legs in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to
be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to
The LORD.
10 And if his offering is of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or
of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring a male without blemish.
11 And he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before The LORD: and
Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood round about on the altar.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the
priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which
is on the altar: 13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with
water: and the priest shall bring it all and burn it on
the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savor to The LORD. 14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering
to The LORD is of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle doves,
or of young pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring
off its head and burn it on the altar; and the blood of it shall
be wrung out at the side of the altar: 16 And he shall pluck away its crop
with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the
place of the ashes: 17 And he shall cleave it with its wings, but
shall not divide it apart: and the priest shall burn it on the altar,
on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice,
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to The LORD.

Chapter 2
1 And when any will offer a meat offering to The LORD, his offering shall
be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense
on it: 2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall
take out a handful of the flour and oil, with all the frankincense; and the
priest shall burn the memorial of it on the altar, to be an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savor to The LORD: 3 And the remnant of the meat
offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing
most holy of the offerings of The LORD made by fire. 4 And if you bring an
oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened
cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with
oil. 5 And if your oblation is a meat offering baked in a pan, it
shall be of fine unleavened flour, mingled with oil. 6 You shall
part it in pieces and pour oil on it: it is a meat offering. 7 And
if your oblation is a meat offering baked in the frying pan, it
shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you shall bring the
meat offering that is made of these things to The LORD: and when it is presented
to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 9 And the priest shall take
from the meat offering a memorial from it and shall burn it on the
altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to The LORD.
10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's
and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of The LORD
made by fire.
11 No meat offering, which you shall bring to The LORD, shall be made with
leaven: for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of The
LORD made by fire. 12 As for the oblation of the first fruits, you shall
offer them to The LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet
savor. 13 And every oblation of your meat offering you shall season with
salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking
from your meat offering: with all your offerings you shall offer salt. 14
And if you offer a meat offering of your first fruits to The LORD, you shall
offer green ears of corn dried by the fire, for the meat offering of your
first fruits even corn beaten out of full ears. 15 And you shall
put oil on it and lay frankincense on it: it is a meat offering.
16 And the priest shall burn the its memorial, part of the beaten corn and
part of the oil, with all the frankincense: it is an offering made
by fire to The LORD.

1 And if his oblation is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers
it from the herd; whether it is a male or female, he shall
offer it without blemish before The LORD. 2 and he shall lay his hand on
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
on the altar round about. 3 and he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace
offering an offering made by fire to The LORD; the fat that covers the inwards
and all the fat that is on the inwards, 4 And the two kidneys and
the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks and he
shall take away the covering above the liver, with the kidneys. 5 And Aaron's
sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt sacrifice, which is
on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made
by fire, of a sweet savor to The LORD.
6 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to The LORD is of
the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 7 If he offers
a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before The LORD. 8 And he
shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and kill it before the tabernacle
of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle its blood round about
on the altar. 9 And he shall offer the sacrifice of the peace offering an
offering made by fire to The LORD; the fat and the whole rump, he
shall take it off near the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards
and all the fat that is on the inwards, 10 And the two kidneys,
and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks and
he shall take away the covering above the liver with the kidneys,. 11 And
the priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering
made by fire to The LORD. 12 And if his offering is a goat, then he shall
offer it before The LORD. 13 And he shall lay his hand on its head and kill
it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall
sprinkle its blood on the altar round about. 14 And he shall offer from it
his offering, even an offering made by fire to The LORD; the fat
that covers the inwards and all the fat that is on the inwards,
15 And the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which
is by the flanks and he shall take away the covering above the liver,
with the kidneys. 16 And the priest shall burn them on the altar: it
is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savor: all the
fat is The LORD'S. 17 It shall be a perpetual statute for
your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat
nor blood.

Chapter 4
1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel,
saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments
of The LORD concerning things which ought not to be done and shall
do against any of them: 3 If the priest, who is anointed, sins according
to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he has sinned,
a young bullock without blemish to The LORD for a sin offering. 4 And he
shall bring the bullock to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before The LORD; and shall lay his hand on the bullock's head and kill the
bullock before The LORD. 5 And the priest who is anointed shall take of the
bullock's blood and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 6 And
the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle from the blood
seven times before The LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary. 7 And the
priest shall put some of the blood on 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. 8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock
for the sin offering; the fat that covers the inwards and all the fat that
is on the inwards, 9 And the two kidneys and the fat that
is on them, which is by the flanks and the covering above
the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take it away, 10 just as it was taken
off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest
shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering. 11 And the skin of the
bullock and all its flesh, with its head and with its legs and its inwards
and its dung, 12 Even the whole bullock he shall carry outside the camp to
a clean place, where the ashes are poured out and burn it on the wood with
fire: it shall be burned where the ashes are poured out.
13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance and the
thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly and they have done something
against any of the commandments of The LORD concerning things
which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 When the sin, which they have
sinned is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the
sin and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation. 15 And the elders
of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bullock before
The LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before The LORD. 16 And the priest
who is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the
congregation: 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of
the blood and sprinkle it seven times before The LORD, even
before the veil. 18 And he shall put some of the blood on 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. 19 And he shall take all its fat from it
and burn it on the altar. 20 And he shall do with the bullock as
he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and
the priest shall make an atonement for them and it shall be forgiven them.
21 And he shall carry forth the bullock out side the camp and burn it as
he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
22 When a ruler has sinned and done something through ignorance
against any of the commandments of The LORD his God concerning
things which should not be done and is guilty; 23 Or if his sin, in
which he has sinned, comes to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering,
a kid of the goats, a male without blemish: 24 And he shall lay his hand
on 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. 25 And the priest
shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put
it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and shall pour out
its blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And he shall burn
all its fat on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin and it
shall be forgiven him.
27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, when he does
something against any of the commandments of The LORD concerning
things which ought not to be done and is guilty; 28 Or if his sin, which
he has sinned, comes to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering,
a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.
29 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay the
sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. 30 And the priest shall
take of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the
altar of burnt offering and shall pour out all its blood at the bottom of
the altar. 31 And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away
from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn
it on the altar for a sweet savor to The LORD; and the priest shall
make an atonement for him and it shall be forgiven him. 32 And if he brings
a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish. 33
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it for
a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. 34 And the
priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put
it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and shall pour out
all its blood at the bottom of the altar: 35 And he shall take away all its
fat, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace
offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, according to the
offerings made by fire to The LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement
for his sin that he has committed and it shall be forgiven him.

Chapter 5
1 And if a soul sins and hears the voice of swearing and is a witness,
whether he has seen or known it; if he does not utter it,
then he shall bear his iniquity. 2 Or if a soul touches any unclean thing,
whether it is a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean
cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things and if it is hidden
from him; he also shall be unclean and guilty. 3 Or if he touches the uncleanness
of man, whatever uncleanness it is that a man shall be defiled with
and it is hidden from him; when he knows it, then he shall be guilty.
4 Or if a soul swears, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or
to do good, whatever it is that a man shall pronounce with an oath
and it is hidden from him; when he knows it, then he shall be guilty
in one of these. 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these
things, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that
thing: 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to The LORD for
his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of
the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for
him concerning his sin.
7 And if he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass,
which he has committed, two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, to The LORD;
one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 And he shall
bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is
for the sin offering first and wring off his head from his neck, but shall
not divide it apart: 9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the
sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be
wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering. 10 And
he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which
he has sinned and it shall be forgiven him. 11 But if he is not able to bring
two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for
his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering;
he shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense
on it: for it is a sin offering. 12 Then he shall bring it to the
priest and the priest shall take a handful of it, even a memorial
and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire
to The LORD: it is a sin offering. 13 And the priest shall make
an atonement for him touching his sin that he has sinned in one of these,
and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's,
as a meat offering.
14 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 15 If a soul commits a trespass,
and sins through ignorance, in the holy things of The LORD; then he shall
bring to The LORD for his trespass a ram without blemish out of the flocks
for a trespass offering, with your estimation by shekels of silver, after
the shekel of the sanctuary,: 16 And he shall make amends for the harm that
he has done in the holy thing and shall add the fifth part to it and give
it to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the
ram of the trespass offering and it shall be forgiven him. 17 And if a soul
sins and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the
commandments of The LORD; amd he did not know it yet he is guilty
and shall bear his iniquity. 18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish
out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance in
which he erred and did not know it and it shall be forgiven him.
19 It is a trespass offering: he has certainly trespassed against
The LORD.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 If a soul sins and commits a trespass
against The LORD and lies to his neighbor in that which was delivered to
him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or has
deceived his neighbor; 3 Or has found that which was lost and lies concerning
it and swears falsely; in any of all these that a man does, sinning in it:
4 Then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore
that which he took violently away, or the thing which he has deceitfully
gotten, or that which was delivered to him to keep, or the lost thing which
he found, 5 Or all that about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore
it in the principal and shall add the fifth part more to it, and
give it to him to whom it pertains, in the day of his trespass offering.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to The LORD, a ram without blemish
out of the flock to the priest, with your estimation, for a trespass offering:
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before The LORD: and he
shall be forgiven for any thing of all that he has done in trespassing.
8 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying,
This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt
offering, because of the burning on the altar all night to the morning and
the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 10 And the priest shall put
on his linen garment and his linen breeches he shall put on his flesh and
take up the ashes which the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on
the altar and he shall put them beside the altar. 11 And he shall put off
his garments and put on other garments and carry out the ashes out side the
camp to a clean place. 12 And the fire on 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 on it; and he shall burn on it the fat
of the peace offerings. 13 The fire shall be ever burning on the altar; it
shall never go out.
14 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall
offer it before The LORD, before the altar. 15 And he shall take a handful
of it, of the flour of the meat offering and of the oil of it and all the
frankincense which is on the meat offering and shall burn
it on the altar for a sweet savor, even the memorial
of it, to The LORD. 16 And the remainder of it shall Aaron and his sons eat:
with unleavened bread. It shall be eaten in the holy place; they shall eat
it in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. 17 It shall not be
baked with leaven. I have given it to them for their portion of
my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin
offering and the trespass offering. 18 All the males among the children of
Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your
generations concerning the offerings of The LORD made by fire: every one
who touches them shall be holy. 19 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 20
This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall
offer to The LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a perpetual meat offering, half of it in the morning and
half of it at night. 21 It shall be made in a pan with oil; and when
it is baked, you shall bring it in: and you shall offer the
baked pieces of the meat offering for a sweet savor to The LORD.
22 And the priest, of his sons who are anointed in his stead, shall offer
it: it is a statute for ever to The LORD; it shall be wholly burned.
23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burned it shall
not be eaten.
24 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons,
saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where
the burnt offering is killed the sin offering shall be killed before The
LORD: it is most holy. 26 The priest who offers it for sin shall
eat it: it shall be eaten in the holy place in the court of the tabernacle
of the congregation. 27 Whatever touches the flesh of it shall be holy: and
when the blood of it is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that on
which it was sprinkled in the holy place. 28 But the earthen vessel in which
it is soaked shall be broken: and if it is soaked in a brasen pot, it shall
be both scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 All the males among the priests
shall eat of it: it is most holy. 30 But no sin offering, of which
any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation
to reconcile anything in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall
be burned in the fire.

Chapter 7
1 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is
most holy. 2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill
the trespass offering: and the blood of it he shall sprinkle round about
on the altar. 3 And he shall offer from it all its fat, but the rump and
the fat that covers the inwards, 4 And the two kidneys and the fat that
is on them, which is by the flanks, and he shall take away
the covering that is above the liver, with the kidneys: 5 And the
priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire
to The LORD: it is a trespass offering. 6 Every male among the priests
shall eat of it: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most
holy. 7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering:
there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement with it
shall have it. 8 And the priest who offers any man's burnt offering,
even the priest shall have the skin of the burnt offering which
he has offered for himself. 9 And all the meat offering that is baked in
the oven and all that is dressed in the frying pan and in the pan, shall
be the priest's who offers it. 10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil
and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which
he shall offer to The LORD. 12 If he offers 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 fried flour. 13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer leavened bread
for his offering with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
14 And from it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for
a heave offering to The LORD, and it shall be the priest's who sprinkles
the blood of the peace offerings. 15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his
peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;
he shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of
his offering is a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same
day that he offers his sacrifice: and on the next morning also the remainder
of it shall be eaten: 17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice
on the third day shall be burned with fire. 18 And if any of the
flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third
day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers
it: it shall be an abomination and the soul that eats of it shall bear his
iniquity. 19 And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall
not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire: and as for the flesh, all who
are clean shall eat of it. 20 But the soul who eats of the flesh
of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to The LORD, having
his uncleanness on him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover the soul who 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 pertains to The LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from
his people. 22 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23 Speak to the children
of Israel, saying, you shall eat no manner of fat, of oxen, or of sheep,
or of goats. 24 And the fat of the beast that dies of itself and the fat
of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but you
shall in no way eat it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of the beast, from which
men offer an offering made by fire to The LORD, even the soul that eats
it shall be cut off from his people. 26 Moreover you shall eat no
manner of blood in any of your dwellings, whether it is of fowl
or of beast. 27 Whatever soul it is who eats any manner of blood,
even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 28 And The LORD spoke to
Moses, saying, 29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He who offers
the sacrifice of his peace offerings to The LORD shall bring his oblation
to The LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 His own hands shall
bring the offerings of The LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, he
shall bring it so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering
before The LORD. 31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar: but the
breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'. 32 And you shall give the right shoulder
to the priest for a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace
offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace
offerings and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
34 For I have taken from the children of Israel the wave breast and the heave
shoulder from the sacrifices of their peace offerings and have given them
to Aaron the priest and to his sons by a statute for ever among the children
of Israel.
35 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing
of his sons, out of the offerings of The LORD made by fire, in the day
when he presented them to minister to The LORD in the priest's office;
36 Which The LORD commanded to be given to them from the children of Israel,
in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout
their generations. 37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of
the meat offering and of the sin offering and of the trespass offering and
of the consecrations and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings; 38 Which
The LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the
children of Israel to offer their oblations to The LORD, in the wilderness
of Sinai.

Chapter 8
1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Take Aaron and his sons with him
and the garments and the anointing oil and a bullock for the sin offering
and two rams and a basket of unleavened bread; 3 And gather all the congregation
together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And Moses did
as The LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together to the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 5 And Moses said to the congregation,
This is the thing which The LORD commanded to be done. 6 And Moses
brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water. 7 And he put on him
the coat and girded him with the girdle and clothed him with the robe and
put the ephod on him and he girded him with the unique girdle of the ephod
and with it bound all to him. 8 And he put the breastplate on him:
also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. 9 And he put the
miter on his head; also on the miter, even on its forefront, he
put the golden plate, the holy crown; as The LORD commanded Moses. 10 And
Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that
was in it and sanctified them. 11 And he sprinkled from it on the
altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its vessels, both the laver
and its base, to sanctify them. 12 And he poured from the anointing oil on
Aaron's head and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13 And Moses brought Aaron's
sons and put coats on them and girded them with girdles and put bonnets on
them; as The LORD commanded Moses.
14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands on the head of the bullock for the sin offering. 15 And
he killed it; and Moses took the blood and put it on 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 on it. 16 And he took all the fat that was on the
inwards and the covering above the liver and the two kidneys and
their fat and Moses burned it on the altar. 17 But the bullock and
his hide, his flesh and his dung, he burned with fire out side the camp;
as The LORD commanded Moses. 18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering:
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 19 And he
killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar round about.
20 And he cut the ram in pieces; and Moses burnt the head and the pieces
and the fat. 21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses
burnt the whole ram on the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a
sweet savor, and an offering made by fire to The LORD; as The LORD
commanded Moses. 22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration:
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23 And he
killed it; and Moses took of its blood and put it on the
tip of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great
toe of his right foot. 24 And he brought Aaron's sons and Moses put from
the blood on the tip of their right ear and on the thumbs of their right
hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the
blood on the altar round about. 25 And he took the fat and the rump and all
the fat that was on the inwards and the covering above
the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right shoulder: 26 And
out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before The LORD,
he took one unleavened cake and a cake of oiled bread and one wafer and put
them on the fat and on the right shoulder: 27 And he put all on
Aaron's hands and on his sons' hands and waved them for a wave offering
before The LORD. 28 And Moses took them from their hands and burned
them on the altar on the burnt offering: they were
consecrations for a sweet savor: it is an offering made by fire
to The LORD. 29 And Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave
offering before The LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was
Moses' part; as The LORD commanded Moses. 30 And Moses took of the anointing
oil and of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled
it on Aaron, and on his garments and on his sons and on
his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments
and his sons and his sons' garments with him.
31 And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread
that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying,
Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 32 And that which remains of the flesh and
of the bread you shall burn with fire. 33 And you shall not go out of the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation for seven days, until
the days of your consecration are at an end: he shall consecrate you for
seven days . 34 As he has done this day, so The LORD has commanded
to do, to make an atonement for you. 35 Therefore you shall abide at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days and
keep the charge of The LORD, so that you do not die: for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which The LORD commanded by the hand
of Moses.

Chapter 9
1 And it was on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel; 2 And he said to Aaron, Take a young calf
for a sin offering and a ram without blemish for a burnt offering and offer
them before The LORD. 3 And you shall speak to the children of Israel,
saying, Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb
of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; 4 Also a bullock
and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before The LORD; and a meat offering
mingled with oil: for today The LORD will appear to you. 5 And they brought
that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and all the congregation drew near and stood before The LORD. 6 And Moses
said, This is the thing which The LORD commanded that you should
do: and the glory of The LORD shall appear to you. 7 And Moses said to Aaron,
Go to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering and make
an atonement for yourself and for the people: and offer the offering of the
people and make an atonement for them; as The LORD commanded.
8 Aaron therefore went to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering,
which was for himself. 9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood
to him: and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the
horns of the altar and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar: 10
But the fat and the kidneys and the covering above the liver of the sin offering,
he burned on the altar; as The LORD commanded Moses. 11 And the flesh and
the hide he burned with fire outside the camp. 12 And he killed the burnt
offering; and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled
round about on the altar. 13 And they presented the burnt offering to him,
with the pieces of it and the head: and he burned them on the altar.
14 And he washed the inwards and the legs and burned them on the
burnt offering on the altar. 15 And he brought the people's offering and
took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people and killed
it and offered it for sin, as the first. 16 And he brought the burnt offering
and offered it according to the manner. 17 And he brought the meat offering
and took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, beside the
burnt sacrifice of the morning. 18 He also killed the bullock and the ram
for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people:
and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar
round about, 19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump and that
which covers the inwards, and the kidneys and the covering
above the liver: 20 And they put the fat on the breasts and he burned
the fat on the altar: 21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved
for a wave offering before The LORD; as Moses commanded. 22 And
Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them and came down
from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and peace offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation and came
out and blessed the people: and the glory of The LORD appeared to all the
people. 24 Amd fire out came from before The LORD and consumed the burnt
offering and the fat on the altar: which when all the people saw,
they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Chapter 10
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, both of them took his censer and
put fire in it and put incense on it and offered strange fire before The
LORD, which he did not command them. 2 And there went out fire from The LORD
and devoured them and they died before The LORD.
3 Then Moses said to Aaron, This is that which The LORD spoke, saying,
I will be sanctified in them who come near me and before all the people I
will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. 4 And Moses called Mishael and
Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron and said to them, Come near,
carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 5 So they
went near and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
6 And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Do not
uncover your heads, neither tear your clothes; lest you die and lest wrath
come on all the people: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,
wail the burning which The LORD has kindled. 7 And you shall not go out from
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die: for the anointing
oil of The LORD is on you. And they did according to the word of
Moses.
8 And The LORD spoke to Aaron, saying, 9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink,
you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation,
lest you die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations: 10 And that you may put difference between holy and unholy and
between unclean and clean; 11 And that you may teach the children of Israel
all the statutes which The LORD has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
12 And Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were
left, Take the meat offering that remains of the offerings of The LORD made
by fire and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most
holy: 13 And you shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your
due and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of The LORD made by fire: for so
I am commanded. 14 And you shall eat the wave breast and heave shoulder in
a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for it
is your due and your sons' due, which is given out of the
sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. 15 They shall bring
the heave shoulder and the wave breast with the offerings made by fire of
the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before The LORD; and it
shall be yours and your sons' with you, by a statute for ever; as The LORD
has commanded. 16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering
and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the
sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying, 17 Why have
you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most
holy and God has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the
congregation, to make atonement for them before The LORD? 18 Behold, the
blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: you should
indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded. 19 And Aaron
said to Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and
their burnt offering before The LORD; and such things have befallen me: and
if I had eaten the sin offering today, should it have been accepted
in the sight of The LORD? 20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 2 Speak to the
children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you shall
eat among all the animals that are on the earth. 3 Whatever parts
the hoof and is clovenfooted, and chews the cud, among the animals,
that you shall eat. 4 Nevertheless these you shall not eat, those that chew
the cud, or those that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he
chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.
5 And the rabbit, because he chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof;
he is unclean to you. 6 And the hare, because he chews the cud,
but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you. 7 And the swine,
though he divides the hoof and is cloven footed, yet he does not chew the
cud; he is unclean to you. 8 you shall not eat of their flesh and
you shall not touch their carcase; they are unclean to you.
9 You shall eat these of all that are in the waters: whatever has
fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers, you shall eat
them. 10 And all that do not have 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 to you:
11 They shall be even an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh,
but you shall have their carcases in abomination. 12 Whatever has no fins
nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you. 13
And these are they which you shall have in abomination among the
fowl; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle
and the ossifrage and the osprey, 14 And the vulture and the kite after his
kind; 15 Every raven after his kind; 16 And the owl and the night hawk and
the cuckoo and the hawk after his kind, 17 And the little owl and the cormorant
and the great owl, 18 And the swan and the pelican and the gier eagle, 19
And the stork, the heron after her kind and the lapwing and the bat.
20 All fowl that creep, going on all fours, shall be an
abomination to you. 21 Yet you may eat of these, every flying creeping thing
that goes on all fours, which have legs above their feet, to leap
with on the earth; 22 Even these you may eat of them; the locust
after his kind and the bald locust after his kind and the beetle after his
kind and the grasshopper after his kind. 23 But all other flying
creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to
you. 24 And you shall be unclean for these: whoever touches the carcase of
them shall be unclean until the evening. 25 And whoever bears
anything of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes and is unclean
until the evening. 26 The carcases of every animal which divides
the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are
unclean to you: every one who touches them shall be unclean. 27 And whatever
goes on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all fours,
those are unclean to you: whoever touches their carcase shall be
unclean until the evening. 28 And he who bears the carcase of them shall
wash his clothes and is unclean until the evening: they are unclean
to you. 29 These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping
things that creep on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the tortoise
after his kind, 30 And the ferret and the chameleon and the lizard and the
snail and the mole. 31 These are unclean to you among all that creep:
whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32 And on whatever any of them falls, when they are dead, it shall
be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin,
or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done,
it must be put into water and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it
shall be cleansed. 33 And every earthen vessel, in which any of
them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and you shall break
it. 34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such
water comes shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every
such vessel shall be unclean. 35 And every thing on which
any part of their carcase falls shall be unclean; whether it
is an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for
they are unclean and shall be unclean to you. 36 Nevertheless a
fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean:
but that which touches their carcase shall be unclean. 37 And if any
part of their carcase falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown,
it shall be clean. 38 But if any water is put on the seed
and any part of their carcase fall on it, it shall be unclean
to you. 39 And if any animal, of which you may eat dies, he who touches the
carcase of it shall be unclean until the evening. 40 And he who eats of the
carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening: also
he who bears the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until
the evening. 41 And every creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall
be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42 Whatever goes on the belly,
and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has more feet among
all creeping things that creep on the earth, you shall not eat them; for
they are an abomination.
43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that
creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should
be defiled. 44 For I am The LORD your God: you shall therefore sanctify
yourselves and you shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you
defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
45 For I am The LORD who is bringing you up out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46 This
is the law of the beasts and of the fowl and of every living creature
that moves in the waters and of every creature that creeps on the earth:
47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean and between the
animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children
of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived seed and born a man child: then
she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation
for her infirmity she shall be unclean. 3 And in the eighth day the flesh
of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall then continue in the
blood of her purifying thirty three days; she shall touch no hallowed thing,
nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in
her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying sixty
six days.
6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter,
she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering and a young
pigeon, or a turtle dove, for a sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, to the priest: 7 Who shall offer it before The
LORD and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed
from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her who has born
a male or a female. 8 And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall
bring two turtle doves, 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.

Chapter 13
1 And The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 When a man shall have
in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot and it is in the
skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought
to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests: 3 And the priest
shall look at the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the
hair in the plague is turned white and the plague in sight is deeper than
the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest
shall look at him and pronounce him unclean. 4 If the bright spot is white
in the skin of his flesh and in sight is not deeper than the skin and the
hair of it is not turned white; then the priest shall shut him up
who has the plague seven days: 5 And the priest shall look at him on
the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight is at a
stay, and the plague has not spread in the skin; then the priest
shall shut him up seven more days: 6 And the priest shall look at him again
on the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague is somewhat dark,
and the plague has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce
him clean: it is only a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and
be clean. 7 But if the scab has spread much abroad in the skin, after that
he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the
priest again: 8 And if the priest sees that, behold, the scab spreads
in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is
a leprosy. 9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought
to the priest; 10 And the priest shall see him: and, behold,
if the rising is white in the skin and it has turned the hair white
and there is quick raw flesh in the rising; 11 It is an
old leprosy in the skin of his flesh and the priest shall pronounce him unclean
and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean. 12 And if a leprosy
break out abroad in the skin and the leprosy cover all the skin of him
who has the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest
looks; 13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy
has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean who
has the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. 14 But
when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 15 And the priest shall
see the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh
is unclean: it is a leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh return
again and is changed to white, he shall come to the priest; 17 And the priest
shall see him: and, behold, if the plague is turned into white;
then the priest shall pronounce him clean who has the plague:
he is clean.
18 The flesh also, in which, even in its skin, was a boil and is
healed, 19 And in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright
spot, white and somewhat reddish and it is shown to the priest; 20 And if,
when the priest sees it, behold, it is slightly lower than the skin and the
hair of it is turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil. 21 But if the priest
look on it and, behold, there are no white hairs in it and
if it is not lower than the skin, but is somewhat dark; then the
priest shall shut him up seven days: 22 And if it spreads much abroad in
the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and does not spread,
it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 Or if there is any flesh, in the skin where there is
a hot burning and the quick flesh that burns has a white bright
spot, somewhat reddish, or white; 25 Then the priest shall look at it: and,
behold, if the hair in the bright spot is turned white and it is
in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of
the burning: therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is
the plague of leprosy. 26 But if the priest looks at it and, behold, there
are no white hair in the bright spot and it is not lower than the
other skin, but is somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him
up seven days: 27 And the priest shall look at him on the seventh day:
and if it is much spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall
pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 28 And if the
bright spot stays in its place, and is not spread in the skin, but
it is somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning and the priest
shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
29 If a man or woman has a plague on the head or the beard; 30 Then the priest
shall see the plague: and, behold, if it is in sight deeper than the skin;
and there is in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it is a dry scale, even a leprosy on the head
or beard. 31 And if the priest looks at the plague of the scale and, behold,
it is not in sight deeper than the skin and that there is no black
hair in it; then the priest shall shut him up who has the
plague of the scale seven days: 32 And in the seventh day the priest shall
look at the plague: and, behold, if the scale does not spread and
there is no yellow hair in it and the scale is not in sight deeper than the
skin; 33 He shall be shaved, but the scale he shall not shave; and the priest
shall shut him up who has the scale seven more days: 34
And in the seventh day the priest shall look at the scale: and, behold,
if the scale is not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than
the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his
clothes and is clean. 35 But if the scale spreads much in the skin after
his cleansing; 36 Then the priest shall look at him: and, behold, if the
scale is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he
is unclean. 37 But if the scale is in his sight at a stay and
that there is black hair grown up in it; the scale is healed, he
is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 Also if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots,
even white bright spots; 39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold,
if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh is darkish white;
it is a freckled spot that grows in the skin; he
is clean. 40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he
is bald; yet is he clean. 41 And he who has his hair fallen
off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald:
yet is he clean. 42 And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead,
a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head,
or his bald forehead. 43 Then the priest shall look at it: and, behold,
if the rising of the sore is white reddish in his bald head, or
in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appears in the skin of the flesh; 44
He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him
utterly unclean; his plague is in his head. 45 And the leper in
whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn and his head bare
and he shall put a covering on his upper lip and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
46 All the days in which the plague shall be in him he shall be
defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; his habitation
shall be out side the camp.
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is
a wool garment, or a linen garment; 48 Whether it is in the weave,
or interweave; of linen, or of wool; whether in a skin, or in any thing made
of skin; 49 And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in
the skin, either in the weave, or in the interweave, or in any thing of skin;
it is a plague of leprosy and shall be shown to the priest: 50 And
the priest shall look at the plague and shut him up who has
the plague seven days: 51 And he shall look at the plague on the seventh
day: if the plague is spread in the garment, either in the weave, or in the
interweave, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the
plague is a pain causing leprosy; it is unclean. 52 He
shall therefore burn that garment, whether weave or interweave, in wool or
in linen, or any thing of skin, in which the plague is: for it is
a pain causing leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire. 53 And if the priest
shall look and, behold, the plague is not spread in the garment, either in
the weave, or in the interweave, or in any thing of skin; 54 Then the priest
shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague
is and he shall shut it up seven more days: 55 And the priest shall
look at the plague, after it is washed: and, behold, if the plague
has not changed its color and the plague is not spread; it is unclean;
you shall burn it in the fire; if it is pitted, whether
it is bare within or without. 56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the
plague is somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall tear it out
of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the weave, or out of the
interweave: 57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the weave,
or in the interweave, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading
plague: you shall burn that in which the plague is with
fire. 58 And the garment, either weave, or interweave, or whatever thing
of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague is departed from
them, then it shall be washed the second time and shall be clean. 59 This
is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen,
either in the weave, or interweave, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it
clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 This shall be the law of the leper
in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest: 3 And the
priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look and, behold,
if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper; 4 Then shall the
priest command to take for him who is to be cleansed two birds alive
and clean and cedar wood and scarlet and hyssop: 5 And the priest
shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running
water: 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it and the cedar wood and
the scarlet and the hyssop and shall dip them and the living bird in the
blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: 7 And
he shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times
and shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird loose into the
open field. 8 And he who 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 wait abroad out of his tent seven
days. 9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair
from his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall
shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in
water and he shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two male 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 pint of oil.
11 And the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who
is to be made clean and those things, before The LORD, at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: 12 And the priest shall take one male
lamb and offer him for a trespass offering and the pint of oil and wave them
for a wave offering before The LORD: 13 And he shall kill the lamb
in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering,
in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so
is the trespass offering: it is most holy: 14 And the priest
shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and the priest
shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed
and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot:
15 And the priest shall take some of the pint of oil and pour
it into the palm of his own left hand: 16 And the priest shall dip
his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle
of the oil with his finger seven times before The LORD: 17 And of the rest
of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put on the tip of
the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right
hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass
offering: 18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's
hand he shall pour on the head of him who is to be cleansed: and the priest
shall make an atonement for him before The LORD. 19 And the priest shall
offer the sin offering and make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed
from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: 20
And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering on the
altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him and he shall be clean.
21 And if he is poor and can not 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 pint of oil; 22 And two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, such as he
is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt
offering. 23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing
to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before
The LORD. 24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering,
and the pint of oil and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering
before The LORD: 25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering and
the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering
and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed
and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot:
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the
oil that is in his left hand seven times before The LORD: 28 And
the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of
the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right
hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of
the trespass offering: 29 And the rest of the oil that is in the
priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make
an atonement for him before The LORD. 30 And he shall offer one of the turtle
doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 31 Even such
as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering and the other
for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall
make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed before The LORD. 32 This
is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy,
whose hand is not able to get that which pertains to his cleansing.
33 And The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 34 When you are come
into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession and I put the
plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 35 And he who
owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me there
is perhaps a plague in the house: 36 Then the priest shall command that
they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to see the
plague, that all that is in the house is not made unclean: and afterward
the priest shall go in to see the house: 37 And he shall look at the plague
and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with
depressions, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than
the wall; 38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
house and shut up the house seven days: 39 And the priest shall come again
the seventh day and shall look: and, behold, if the plague is spread
in the walls of the house; 40 Then the priest shall command that they take
away the stones in which the plague is and they shall cast them
into an unclean place out side the city: 41 And he shall cause the house
to be scraped within round about and they shall pour out the dust that they
scrape off out side the city into an unclean place: 42 And they shall take
other stones and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall
take other morter and shall plaster the house. 43 And if the plague comes
again and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones and
after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered; 44 Then the priest
shall come and look and, behold, if the plague is spread in the
house, it is an ulcer causing leprosy in the house: it is
unclean. 45 And he shall break down the house and its stones and the timber
and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them out of
the city to an unclean place. 46 Moreover he who goes into the house all
the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening. 47 And he
who lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house
shall wash his clothes. 48 And if the priest shall come in and look on
it and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house
was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the
plague is healed. 49 And he shall take two birds and cedar wood and scarlet
and hyssop to cleanse the house: 50 And he shall kill one of the birds in
an earthen vessel over running water: 51 And he shall take the cedar wood
and the hyssop and the scarlet and the living bird and dip them in the blood
of the slain bird and in the running water and sprinkle the house seven times:
52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the
running water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the
hyssop and with the scarlet: 53 But he shall let go the living bird out of
the city into the open fields and make an atonement for the house: and it
shall be clean.
54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy and scale,
55 And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house, 56 And for a rising and
for a scab and for a bright spot: 57 To teach when it is unclean
and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Speak to the children
of Israel and say to them, When any man has a running issue out of his flesh,
because of his issue he is unclean. 3 And this shall be
his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh runs with his issue, or his
flesh is stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every
bed, where he lies who has the issue, is unclean: and every thing, where
he sits, shall be unclean. 5 And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes
and bathe himself in water and is unclean until the evening. 6 And
he who sits on any thing where he sat who has the issue shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the
evening. 7 And he who touches the flesh of him who has the issue shall wash
his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the
evening. 8 And if he who has the issue spit on him who is clean; then he
shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean
until the evening. 9 And whatever saddle he rides on who has the issue shall
be unclean. 10 And whoever touches any thing that was under him shall be
unclean until the evening: and he who bears any of those things
shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean
until the evening. 11 And whomever he touches who has the issue and has not
rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 12 And the vessel
of earth, that he touches which has the issue, shall be broken: and every
vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And when he who has an issue
is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for
his cleansing and wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in running water and
shall be clean. 14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtle
doves, or two young pigeons and come before The LORD to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation and give them to the priest: 15 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. 16 And if any man's seed of copulation
go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water and be unclean
until the evening. 17 And every garment and every skin, on which is the seed
of copulation, shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.
18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation,
they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean
until the evening.
19 And if a woman has an issue, and her issue in her flesh is blood,
she shall be put apart seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean
until the evening. 20 And every thing that she lies on in her separation
shall be unclean: every thing also that she sits on shall be unclean. 21
And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself
in water and be unclean until the evening. 22 And whoever touches any thing
that she sat on shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water
and be unclean until the evening. 23 And if it is on her bed, or
on any thing where she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until
the evening. 24 And if any man lie with her at all and her impurities are
on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed where he lies shall
be unclean. 25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of
the time of her separation, or if it runs beyond the time of her separation;
all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her
separation: she shall be unclean. 26 Every bed where she lies all
the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her separation: and whatever
she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 27 And
whoever touches those things shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes
and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 28
But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven
days and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall
take two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest,
to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30 And the priest shall
offer 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. 31 Thus you shall separate the children
of Israel from their uncleanness; that they do not die in their uncleanness,
when they defile my tabernacle which is among them. 32 This
is the law of him who has an issue and of him whose seed
goes from him and is defiled there; 33 And of her who is sick of her impurities
and of him who has an issue, of the man and of the woman and of him who lies
with her who is unclean.

Chapter 16
1 And The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when
they offered before The LORD and died; 2 And The LORD said to Moses, Speak
to Aaron your brother, that he shall not come at all times into the holy
place within the veil before the mercy seat, which is on
the ark; so that he does not die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy
seat. 3 Thus Aaron shall come into the holy place: with a young
bullock for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put
on the holy linen coat and he shall have the linen breeches on his flesh,
and shall be girded with a linen girdle and he shall be attired with the
linen miter. These are holy garments; therefore he shall wash his
flesh in water and so put them on.
5 And he shall take two kids of the goats for a sin offering and one ram
for a burnt offering from the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And
Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself and make an atonement for himself and for his house. 7 And he shall
take the two goats and present them before The LORD at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots on the
two goats; one lot for The LORD and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 And
Aaron shall bring the goat on which The LORD'S lot fell and offer it
for a sin offering. 10 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.
11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is
for himself and shall make an atonement for himself and for his house and
shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the
altar before The LORD and his hands shall be full of sweet incense beaten
small, and he shall bring it within the veil: 13 And he shall put
the incense on the fire before The LORD, so that the cloud of the incense
may cover the mercy seat that is on the ark of testimony,
so that he will not die: 14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock
and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat eastward; and
he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger before the mercy seat seven
times.
15 Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the
people and bring his blood within the veil and do with that blood as he did
with the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before
the mercy seat: 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy
place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel and
because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for
the tabernacle of the congregation, that remains among them in the midst
of their uncleanness. 17 And no man shall be there when he goes in to make
an atonement in the holy place in the tabernacle of the congregation,
until he comes out and has made an atonement for himself and for his household
and for all the congregation of Israel. 18 And he shall go out to the altar
that is before The LORD and make an atonement for it; and shall
take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat and put
it on the horns of the altar round about. 19 And he shall sprinkle
of the blood on it with his finger seven times and cleanse it, and hallow
it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 And when he has made an end of reconciling the holy place and
the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, he shall bring the live
goat: 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands on 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 on the head of the goat
and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
22 And the goat shall bear on him all their iniquities to a uninhabited land:
and he shall let the goat go into the wilderness. 23 And Aaron shall come
into the tabernacle of the congregation and shall put off the linen garments,
which he put on when he went into the holy place and shall leave
them there: 24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place and
put on his garments and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt
offering of the people and make an atonement for himself and for the people.
25 And he shall burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar. 26 And he
who let the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes and bathe his
flesh in water and afterward come into the camp. 27 And the bullock
for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering,
whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place,
shall one carry outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins
in the fire and their flesh and their dung. 28 And he who burns them shall
wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water and afterward he shall come
into the camp.
29 And this shall be a statute for ever to you: that in
the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict
your souls and do no work at all, whether it is one of your own
country, or a stranger who sojourns among you: 30 For on that day the
priest shall make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that
you may be clean from all your sins before The LORD. 31 It shall be
a sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls, by a statute
for ever. 32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint and whom he shall consecrate
to minister in the priest's office in his father's place, shall make the
atonement and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary and he shall make
an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation and for the altar, and
he shall make an atonement for the priests and for all the people of the
congregation. 34 And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make
an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And
he did as The LORD commanded Moses.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons,
and to all the children of Israel and say to them; This is the thing
which The LORD has commanded, saying, 3 Whatever man is of the house
of Israel, who kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills
it out of the camp, 4 And does not bring it to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to The LORD before the
tabernacle of The LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he has shed blood;
and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 5 To the end that the
children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open
field, even that they may bring them to The LORD, to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, to the priest and offer them for peace offerings
to The LORD. 6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of The
LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and burn
the fat for a sweet savor to The LORD. 7 And they shall not offer their
sacrifices to devils after whom they have gone a whoring anymore. This shall
be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations. 8 And you shall
say to them, Whatever man is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers
who sojourn among you, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 And does
not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer
it to The LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
10 And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers
who sojourn among you, who eats any manner of blood; I will even set my face
against that soul who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it
to you on the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is
the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I said
to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall
any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood. 13 And whatever man there
is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among
you, which hunts and catches any animal or fowl that may be eaten; he shall
even pour out the blood of it and cover it with dust. 14 For it is
the life of all flesh; its blood is for its life: therefore I said
to the children of Israel, you shall not eat the blood of any manner of flesh:
for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eats it shall be
cut off. 15 And every soul that eats that which died of itself,
or that which was torn by animals, whether it is one of your own
country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening: then he shall
be clean. 16 But if he does not wash them, nor bathe his flesh;
then he shall bear his iniquity.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel,
and say to them, I am The LORD your God. 3 You shall not do after the doings
of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelled: or after the doings of the land
of Canaan where I am bringing you, you shall not do: nor shall you walk in
their ordinances. 4 You shall do my judgments and keep my ordinances, to
walk in it: I am The LORD your God. 5 You shall therefore keep my
statutes and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I
am The LORD.
6 None of you shall approach, to uncover the nakedness of any who
is a near kin to him: I am The LORD. 7 You shall not uncover the
nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother: she is
your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 You shall not uncover
the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness.
9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your
father, or daughter of your mother, even their nakedness whether
she is born at home, or born abroad. 10 You shall not uncover the nakedness
of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, even their
nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness. 11 You shall not uncover
the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten of your father,
she is your sister. 12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your
father's sister: she is your father's near kinswoman. 13 You shall
not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your
mother's near kinswoman. 14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's
brother, you shall not approach to his wife: she is your aunt. 15
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law: she is
your son's wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 You shall not uncover
the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither
you shall take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover
her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it
is wickedness. 18 Neither shall you take a wife of her sister to
uncover her nakedness beside the other in her life time to vex
her.
19 Also you shall not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long
as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally
with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her. 21 And you shall
not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither
shall you profane the name of your God: I am The LORD. 22 You shall
not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither
shall you lie with any animal to defile yourself with it: neither shall any
woman stand before a animal to lie down to it: it is confusion.
24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the
nations which I cast out before you are defiled: 25 And the land is defiled:
therefore I visit the iniquity of it on it and the land itself vomits out
her inhabitants. 26 Therefore you shall keep my statutes and my judgments
and shall not commit any of these abominations; not any
of your own nation, nor any stranger who sojourns among you: 27 (For the
men of the land which were before you have done all these abominations
and the land is defiled;) 28 So that the land spue does not you out also,
when you defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before
you. 29 For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls
who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore
you shall keep my ordinances, that you do not commit any one of
these abominable customs, which were committed before you and that you do
not defile yourselves in it: I am The LORD your God.

if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to The LORD, you shall offer

hallowed thing of The LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his

And you shall not swear falsely by my name, neither shall you profane the

but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. 16 You shall

You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall not in any way rebuke

19 You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with

not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his
trespass offering to The LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
even a ram for a trespass offering. 22 And the priest shall make
an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before The LORD
for his sin which he has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven

manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit of it as uncircumcised:
three years It shall be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten. 24
But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy to praise The LORD.
25 And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield

not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall you use enchantment,
nor observe times. 27 You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither

in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you: I am The
LORD. 29 Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest
the land fall to whoredom and the land become full of wickedness.
30 You shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am The
LORD. 31 Do not regard those who have familiar spirits, neither seek after
wizards, to be defiled by them: I am The LORD your God. 32 You shall
rise up before the hoary head and honor the face of the old man and fear
your God: I am The LORD. 33 And if a stranger sojourns with you
in your land, you shall not vex him. 34 But the stranger who dwells
with you shall be to you as one born among you and you shall love him as
yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am The
LORD your God. 35 You shall not do unrighteousness in judgment, in size,

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Again, you shall say to the children
of Israel, Whoever he is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers
who sojourns in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Moloch; he
shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with
stones. 3 And I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from
among his people; because he has given his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary
and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land in any way hide
their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed to Moloch and does not
kill him: 5 Then I will set my face against that man and against his family
and will cut him off from among their people and all who go whoring after
him, to commit whoredom with Moloch. 6 And the soul that turns after such
as have familiar spirits and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I
will even set my face against that soul and will cut him off from among his
people. 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore and be holy: for I am The
LORD your God. 8 And you shall keep my statutes and do them: I am
The LORD who sanctifies you. 9 For every one who curses his father or his
mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother;
his blood shall be on him.
10 And the man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even
he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and
the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And the man who lies with
his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them. 12 And if
a man lies with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to
death: they have worked confusion; their blood shall be on them.
13 If a man also lies with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be on them. 14 And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it
is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they;
so that there is no wickedness among you. 15 And if a man lies with an animal,
he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the animal. 16 And if
a woman approaches any animal and lies down to it, you shall kill the woman
and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall
be on them. 17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter,
or his mother's daughter and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness;
it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of
their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his
iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness and
shall uncover her nakedness; he has discovered her fountain and she has uncovered
the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their
people. 19 And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister,
nor of your father's sister: for he uncovers his near kin shall bear their
iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered
his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean
thing: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my judgments and do them:
so that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell in, does not spue you
out. 23 And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast
out before you: for they committed all these things and therefore I abhorred
them. 24 But I have said to you, you shall inherit their land and I will
give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I
am The LORD your God, who has separated you from other
people. 25 You shall therefore put a difference between clean animals and
unclean and between unclean fowls and clean: and you shall not make your
souls abominable by an animal, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing

And you shall be holy to me: for I The LORD am holy and have severed
you from other people, that you should be mine. 27 A man also or
woman who has a familiar spirit, or who is a wizard, shall surely be put
to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be

Chapter 21
1 And The LORD said to Moses, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron and
say to them, There shall no one be defiled for the dead among his people:
2 But for his kin, who is near to him, that is, for his mother and
for his father and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother,
3 and for his sister a virgin, who is near to him, which has had no husband;
for her may he be defiled. 4 But he shall not defile himself,
being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5 They shall
not make baldness on their head, neither shall they shave off the corner
of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6 They shall be holy
to their God and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of
The LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, which they offer:
therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not take a wife who is
a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband:
for he is holy to his God. 8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for
he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I The LORD,
who sanctifies you, am holy. 9 And the daughter of any priest, if
she profanes herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father: she shall
be burned with fire.
10 And he who is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head
the anointing oil was poured and who is consecrated to put on the garments,
shall not uncover his head, nor tear his clothes; 11 Neither shall he go
in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of
his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is on him:
I am The LORD. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14
A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these he
shall not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people for a wife.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I The LORD sanctify
him.
16 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17 Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever
he is of your seed in their generations who has any blemish,
let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For whatever man he
is who has a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame,
or he who has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 19 Or a man who is
brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20 Or a crooked back, or a dwarf, or who has
a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken;
21 No man who has a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come near
to offer the offerings of The LORD made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall
not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He shall eat the bread of
his God, both of the most holy and of the holy. 23 Only he shall
not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish;
so that he does not profane my sanctuaries: for I The LORD sanctify them.
24 And Moses told it to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children
of Israel.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons,
that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel
and that they do not profane my holy name in those things which
they hallow to me: I am The LORD. 3 Say to them, Whoever he
is of all your seed among your generations, who goes to the holy things,
which the children of Israel hallow to The LORD, having his uncleanness on
him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am The LORD.
4 Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has a running
issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever
touches any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man
whose seed goes from him; 5 Or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby
he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever
uncleanness he has; 6 The soul who has touched any such thing shall be unclean
until evening and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he washes his
flesh with water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean and shall
afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 8 He shall
not eat to defile himself with that which dies of itself, or is torn with
animals, I am The LORD. 9 Therefore they shall keep my ordinance,
lest they bear sin for it and therefore die if they profane it: I The LORD
sanctify them.
10 No shall stranger eat of the holy things: a sojourner of the
priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy things. 11
But if the priest buys any soul with his money, he shall eat of
it and he who is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. 12 If the
priest's daughter also is married to a stranger, she may not eat
of an offering of the holy things. 13 But if the priest's daughter is a widow,
or divorced, and has no child and is returned to her father's house, as in
her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but no stranger shall eat
of it. 14 And if a man eats of the holy things unwittingly, then
he shall put the fifth part of it to it and shall give it to the
priest with the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things
of the children of Israel, which they offer to The LORD; 16 Or suffer them
to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I
The LORD sanctify them.
17 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18 Speak to Aaron and to his sons
and to all the children of Israel and say to them, Whoever he is
of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who will offer his
oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they
will offer to The LORD for a burnt offering; 19 You shall offer a male without
blemish at your own will, of the cattle and of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 But you shall not offer whatever has a blemish: for it shall
not be acceptable to you. 21 And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings
to The LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle
or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in
it. 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed,
you shall not offer these to The LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them
on the altar to The LORD. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that has any thing
superfluous or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a freewill
offering; but it shall not be accepted for a vow. 24 You shall not offer
to The LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken or cut; neither
you shall make any offering of it in your land. 25 Neither from
a stranger's hand shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these;
because their corruption is in them, and blemishes
are in them: they shall not be accepted from you. 26 And The LORD
spoke to Moses, saying, 27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is born,
then it shall be under the dam seven days; and from the eighth day and forward
it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to The LORD. 28 And
whether it is cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and her young both
in one day. 29 And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to The
LORD, offer it at your own will. 30 It shall be eaten upon the same
day; you shall leave none of it until the next day: I am The LORD.
31 Therefore you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am The
LORD. 32 Neither shall you profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among
the children of Israel: I am The LORD who hallows you, 33 Who brought
you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am The LORD.

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel,
and say to them, Concerning the feasts of The LORD, which you shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are
my feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is
the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no work in it:
it is the sabbath of The LORD in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of The LORD, even holy convocations,
which you shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the fourteenth day
of the first month at evening is The LORD'S passover. 6 And on the
fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread
to The LORD: you must eat unleavened bread seven days. 7 In the first day
you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work in it. 8
But you shall offer an offering made by fire to The LORD seven days: in the
seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work
in it. 9 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the children
of Israel and say to them, When you are come into the land which I give to
you and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring a sheaf of the
firstfruits of your harvest to the priest: 11 And he shall wave the sheaf
before The LORD to be accepted for you: on the next day after the sabbath
the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer that day when you wave the
sheaf a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering
to The LORD. 13 And its meat offering shall be two tenth deals of
fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to The LORD
for a sweet savor: and the drink offering of it shall be
of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14 And you shall eat neither bread, nor
parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought
an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
15 And you shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the
day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall
be complete: 16 Even to the morming after the seventh sabbath you shall number
fifty days; and you shall offer a new meat offering to The LORD. 17 You shall
bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall
be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the
first fruits to The LORD. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs
without blemish of the first year and one young bullock and two rams: they
shall be for a burnt offering to The LORD, with their meat offering
and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet
savor to The LORD. 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a
sin offering and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits
for a wave offering before The LORD, with the two lambs: they shall
be holy to The LORD for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the selfsame
day, that it may be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile
work in it: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings
throughout your generations. 22 And when you reap the harvest of your land,
you shall not reap all the corners of your field when you reap, neither shall
you gather any gleanings of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor
and for the stranger: I am The LORD your God.
23 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the
children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day
of the month, you shall have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets,
a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no servile work in it: but you
shall offer an offering made by fire to The LORD. 26
And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27 Also on the tenth day of
this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be
a holy convocation to you; and you shall afflict your souls and offer an
offering made by fire to The LORD. 28 And you 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. 29 For whatever soul he is who shall not
be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatever soul he is who does any work in that same day, the
same soul I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner
of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations
in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of rest and
you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening,
from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.
33 And The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34 Speak to the
children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall
be the feast of tabernacles to The LORD for seven days. 35
On the first day an holy convocation shall be: you shall do no servile
work in it. 36 Seven days shall you offer an offering made by fire
to The LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation to you; and you
shall offer an offering made by fire to The LORD: it is a solemn
assembly; and you shall do no servile work in it. 37 These
are the feasts of The LORD, which you shall proclaim to be
holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to The LORD, a burnt
offering and a meat offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, every thing
on its day: 38 Beside the sabbaths of The LORD and beside your gifts and
beside all your vows and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give
to The LORD. 39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you
have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to The LORD
seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath and on the eighth
day shall be a sabbath. 40 And on the first day you shall take the
boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees and the boughs of thick trees
and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before The LORD your God
seven days. 41 And you shall keep a feast to The LORD seven days in the year.
It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate
it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths seven days; all who
are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 43 That your generations may know
that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them
out of the land of Egypt: I am The LORD your God. 44 And Moses declared
to the children of Israel the feasts of The LORD.

that they bring to you pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the
lamps to burn continually. 3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle
of the congregation, Aaron shall order it from the evening to the morning

rows, six in a row, on the pure table before The LORD. 7 And you shall put
pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a

he shall set it in order before The LORD continually, being taken

1 And The LORD spoke to Moses in Mount Sinai, saying, 2 Speak to the children
of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you,
then the land shall keep a sabbath to The LORD. 3 Six years you shall sow
your field and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its
fruit; 4 But the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath
for The LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap,
neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year
of rest to the land. 6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you;
for you and for your servant and for your maid and for your hired servant
and for your stranger who sojourns with you, 7 And for your cattle and for
the beasts that are in your land, shall all the increase of it be
meat.
8 And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven
years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty
nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on
the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall make the trumpet sound
in the day of atonement throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow
the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to
all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every
man to his possession and you shall return every man to his family. 11 That
fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you: you shall not sow, neither reap
that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of
your vine undressed. 12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy
to you: you shall eat the increase of it out of the field. 13 In the year
of this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession. 14 And if you
sell any thing to your neighbor, or buy any thing of your neighbor's
hand, you shall not oppress one another: 15 According to the number of years
after the jubilee you shall buy it from your neighbor, and according
to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell it to you: 16 According
to the multitude of years you shall increase the price of it and according
to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for
according to the number of the years of the fruits he will
sell to you. 17 You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall
fear your God: for I am The LORD your God. 18 Wherefore you shall
do my statutes and keep my judgments and do them; and you shall dwell in
the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield her fruit and you shall eat
your fill and dwell in it in safety. 20 And if you shall say, What shall
we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year and it shall
bring forth fruit for three years. 22 And you shall sow the eighth year and
eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come
in you shall eat of the old store.
23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for
you are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in all the land
of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If your
brother is grown poor and has sold away some of his possession and
if any of his kin come to redeem it, then he shall redeem that which his
brother sold. 26 And if the man has no one to redeem it and he himself is
able to redeem it; 27 Then let him count the years of the sale of it and
restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to
his possession. 28 But if he is not able to restore it to him, then
that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until
the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return
to his possession. 29 And if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city,
then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within
a full year may he redeem it. 30 And if it is 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 who bought it throughout his generations:
it shall not go out in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which
have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country:
they may be redeemed and they shall go out in the jubilee. 32 Notwithstanding
the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their
possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchase
of the Levites, then the house that was sold and the city of his possession,
shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities
of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it
is their perpetual possession. 35 And if your brother is grown poor,
and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yes, though
he is a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you. 36 Take
no usury of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live
with you. 37 You shall not give him your money on usury, nor lend him your
victuals for increase. 38 I am The LORD your God, who brought you
forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and
to be your God.
39 And if your brother who dwells by you is grown poor and is sold
to you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bond-servant: 40 But
he shall be with you as an hired servant, and as a sojourner,,
and shall serve you to the year of jubilee: 41 And then
he shall depart from you, both he and his children with him and
shall return to his own family and to the possession of his fathers he shall
return. 42 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of
the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43 You shall not rule
over him with rigor; but shall fear your God. 44 Both your bondmen and your
bondmaids, who you shall have, shall be of the heathen who are round
about you; you shall buy them as bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Also you shall
buy of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, and of their
families who are with you, which they begat in your land: and they
shall be your possession. 46 And you 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 brothers the children of Israel,
you shall not rule one over another with rigor. 47 And if a sojourner or
stranger grows rich by you. and your brother who dwells by him grow
poors and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner by you, or
to the stock of the stranger's family: 48 After that he is sold he may be
redeemed again; one of his brothers may redeem him: 49 Either his uncle,
or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is near of kin to
him of his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.
50 And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was
sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according
to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it
be with him. 51 If there is yet many years behind, according
to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money
that he was bought for. 52 And if there remain but few years to the year
of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years
he shall give him again the price of his redemption. 53 And as a
yearly hired servant he shall be with him: and the other shall not
rule with rigor over him in your sight. 54 And if he is not redeemed in these
years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both
he and his children with him. 55 For the children of Israel are
servants to me; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land
of Egypt: I am The LORD your God.

be your God and you shall be my people. 13 I am The LORD your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their bondmen;
and I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you go upright.
14 But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments;
15 And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments,
so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you break
my covenant: 16 I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you
terror, consumption and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes and
cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies
shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you and you shall be slain
before your enemies: those who hate you shall reign over you; and you shall
flee when no one pursues you. 18 And if you will not yet for all this listen

break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron and your
earth as brass: 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land
shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their
fruits. 21 And if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me; I will
bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. 22 I will also
send wild animals among you, which shall rob you of your children and destroy
your cattle and make you few in number; and your high ways shall
be desolate. 23 And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, but
will walk contrary to me; 24 Then I will also walk contrary to you and will
punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword on
you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when you
are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among
you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 And
when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread
in one oven and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall
eat and not be satisfied. 27 And if you will not for all this listen to me,
but walk contrary to me; 28 Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And you shall
eat the flesh of your sons and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.
30 And I will destroy your high places and cut down your images and cast
your carcases on the carcases of your idols and my soul shall abhor you.
31 And I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation
and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 32 And I will bring the
land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell in it shall be astonished
at it. 33 And I will scatter you among the heathen and will draw out a sword
after you: and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. 34 Then
shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate and you
are in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest
and enjoy her sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because
it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on it. 36 And on those
who are left alive 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 no
one pursues. 37 And they shall fall on one another, as before a sword, when
no one pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 And you shall perish among the heathen and the land of your enemies shall
eat you up. 39 And those who are left from you shall pine away in their iniquity
in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they
shall pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers,
with their trespass which they trespassed against me and that also they have
walked contrary to me; 41 And that I also have walked contrary to
them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their
uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they then accept the punishment of their
iniquity: 42 Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob and also my covenant
with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham I will remember; and I will
remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left by them and shall enjoy
her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept
the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my
judgments and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 And yet for all
that, when they are 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. 45 But I will remember the
covenant of their ancestors for their sakes, whom I brought out of the land
of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I
am The LORD. 46 These are the statutes and judgments and
laws, which The LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount

be for The LORD by your estimation. 3 And your estimation shall be of
the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation
shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And
if it is a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if
it is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation
shall be of the male twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels. 6 And
if it is from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation
shall be of the male five shekels of silver and for the female your estimation
shall be three shekels of silver. 7 And if it is from sixty
years old and above; if it is a male, then your estimation shall
be fifteen shekels and for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he is poorer
than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest and
the priest shall value him; according to his ability who vowed shall the
priest value him. 9 And if it is an animal, of which men bring an
offering to The LORD, all who any man gives of such to The LORD
shall be holy. 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad,
or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then
it and the exchange of it shall be holy. 11 And if it is any unclean
animal, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to The LORD, then he shall
present the animal before the priest: 12 And the priest shall value it, whether
it is good or bad: ashe who is the priest shall value it, so shall
it be. 13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part
of it to your estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to The LORD,
then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad: and as the
priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 15 And if he who sanctified
it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of
your estimation to it and it shall be his. 16 And if a man shall sanctify
to The LORD some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation
shall be according to the seed of it: an homer of barley seed shall be
valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sanctify his field from
the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand. 18 But
if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon
to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of
the jubilee and it shall be abated from your estimation. 19 And if he who
sanctified the field will in any way redeem it, then he shall add the fifth
part of the money of your estimation to it and it shall be assured to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another
man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 21 But the field, when it goes out
in the jubilee, shall be holy to The LORD, as a field devoted; the possession
of it shall be the priest's. 22 And if a man sanctify to The LORD
a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his
possession; 23 Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation,
even to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give your estimation
in that day, as a holy thing to The LORD. 24 In the year of the
jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even
to him to whom the possession of the land belonged. 25 And all your
estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs
shall be the shekel.
26 Only the first born of the animals, which should be The LORD'S first born,
no man shall sanctify it; whether it is ox, or sheep: it is
The LORD'S. 27 And if it is of an unclean animal, then he shall
redeem it according to your estimation and shall add a fifth part
to it: or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your
estimation. 28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote
to The LORD of all that he has, both of man and beast and of the
field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing
is most holy to The LORD. 29 No one devoted, who shall be devoted
of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. 30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land,
or of the fruit of the tree, is The LORD'S: it is
holy to The LORD. 31 And if a man will at all redeem any of his
tithes, he shall add to it the fifth part. 32 And concerning the tithe of
the herd, or of the flock, even of whatever passes under the rod,
the tenth shall be holy to The LORD. 33 He shall not search whether it is
good or bad, neither he shall change it: and if he change it at all, then
both it and the change of it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 34
These are the commandments, which The LORD commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in Mount Sinai.
