⁴ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of theburnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to makeatonement for him.

¹⁴ And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering ofbirds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or ofyoung pigeons.

¹⁵ And the priest shall bring it unto thealtar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and theblood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

¹⁶ and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof,and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place ofthe ashes:

¹⁷ and he shall rend it by the wings thereof,[but] shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn itupon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is aburnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor untoJehovah.

¹ And when any one offereth an oblation of ameal-offering unto Jehovah, his oblation shall be of fine flour;and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

² Speak untothe children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sinunwittingly, in any of the things which Jehovah hath commandednot to be done, and shall do any one of them:

³ if theanointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people,then let him offer for his sin, which he hath sinned, a youngbullock without blemish unto Jehovah for a sin-offering.

⁴ And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tent ofmeeting before Jehovah; and he shall lay his hand upon the headof the bullock, and kill the bullock before Jehovah.

⁵ Andthe anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, andbring it to the tent of meeting:

⁷ And thepriest shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar ofsweet incense before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting;and all the blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the baseof the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tentof meeting.

¹² even the whole bullockshall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, wherethe ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: wherethe ashes are poured out shall it be burnt.

¹³ And if the whole congregation of Israel err, and thething be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have doneany of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done,and are guilty;

¹⁴ when the sin wherein they have sinned isknown, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for asin-offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting.

¹⁵ And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands uponthe head of the bullock before Jehovah; and the bullock shall bekilled before Jehovah.

¹⁶ And the anointed priest shallbring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting:

¹⁷ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkleit seven times before Jehovah, before the veil.

¹ And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice ofadjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known,if he do not utter [it], then he shall bear his iniquity.

² Or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcassof an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or thecarcass of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him,and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty.

³ Or if he touchthe uncleanness of man, whatsoever his uncleanness be wherewithhe is unclean, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it,then he shall be guilty.

⁴ Or if any one swear rashly withhis lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a manshall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when heknoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these [things].

⁵ And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these[things], that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned:

⁶ and he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah forhis sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb ora goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonementfor him as concerning his sin.

⁷ And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shallbring his trespass-offering for that wherein he hath sinned, twoturtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto Jehovah; one for asin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.

⁸ And heshall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which isfor the sin-offering first, and wring off its head from itsneck, but shall not divide it asunder:

¹⁶ and he shall makerestitution for that which he hath done amiss in the holy thing,and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto thepriest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ramof the trespass-offering, and he shall be forgiven.

¹⁷ And if any one sin, and do any of the things whichJehovah hath commanded not to be done; though he knew it not,yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

³ or have foundthat which was lost, and deal falsely therein, and swear to alie; in any of all these things that a man doeth, sinningtherein;

⁴ then it shall be, if he hath sinned, and isguilty, that he shall restore that which he took by robbery, orthe thing which he hath gotten by oppression, or the depositwhich was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,

⁵ or any thing about which he hath sworn falsely; he shalleven restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part morethereto: unto him to whom it appertaineth shall he give it, inthe day of his being found guilty.

⁶ And he shall bring histrespass-offering unto Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of theflock, according to thy estimation, for a trespass-offering,unto the priest:

¹⁰ And the priest shall puton his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put uponhis flesh; and he shall take up the ashes whereto the fire hathconsumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put thembeside the altar.

¹¹ And he shall put off his garments, andput on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without thecamp unto a clean place.

¹² And the fire upon the altarshall be kept burning thereon, it shall not go out; and thepriest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay theburnt-offering in order upon it, and shall burn thereon the fatof the peace-offerings.

¹³ Fire shall be kept burning uponthe altar continually; it shall not go out.

¹⁴ And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons ofAaron shall offer it before Jehovah, before the altar.

¹⁵ And he shall take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour ofthe meal-offering, and of the oil thereof, and all thefrankincense which is upon the meal-offering, and shall burn itupon the altar for a sweet savor, as the memorial thereof, untoJehovah.

¹⁶ And that which is left thereof shall Aaron andhis sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place;in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.

¹⁷ Itshall not be baken with leaven. I have given it as their portionof my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as thesin-offering, and as the trespass-offering.

¹⁸ Every maleamong the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as [his] portionfor ever throughout your generations, from the offerings ofJehovah made by fire: whosoever toucheth them shall be holy.

¹⁹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁰ This isthe oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offerunto Jehovah in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part ofan ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half ofit in the morning, and half thereof in the evening.

²¹ On abaking-pan it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, thoushalt bring it in: in baken pieces shalt thou offer themeal-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

²² And theanointed priest that shall be in his stead from among his sonsshall offer it: by a statute for ever it shall be wholly burntunto Jehovah.

²³ And every meal-offering of the priest shallbe wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

²⁴ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁵ Speakunto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of thesin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is killedshall the sin-offering be killed before Jehovah: it is mostholy.

²⁶ The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it:in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent ofmeeting.

²⁷ Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shallbe holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof uponany garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in aholy place.

²⁸ But the earthen vessel wherein it is boiledshall be broken; and if it be boiled in a brazen vessel, itshall be scoured, and rinsed in water.

²⁹ Every male amongthe priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.

³⁰ And nosin-offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tentof meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten:it shall be burnt with fire.

¹ And this is the law of the trespass-offering: it ismost holy.

² In the place where they kill the burnt-offeringshall they kill the trespass-offering; and the blood thereofshall he sprinkle upon the altar round about.

³ And he shalloffer of it all the fat thereof: the fat tail, and the fat thatcovereth the inwards,

⁴ and the two kidneys, and the fatthat is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon theliver, with the kidneys, shall he take away;

⁵ and thepriest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made byfire unto Jehovah: it is a trespass-offering.

⁶ Every maleamong the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holyplace: it is most holy.

⁷ As is the sin-offering, so is thetrespass-offering; there is one law for them: the priest thatmaketh atonement therewith, he shall have it.

⁸ And thepriest that offereth any man's burnt-offering, even the priestshall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering which hehath offered.

⁹ And every meal-offering that is baken in theoven, and all that is dressed in the frying-pan, and on thebaking-pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.

¹⁰ Andevery meal-offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all thesons of Aaron have, one as well as another.

¹³ With cakes of leavened bread heshall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of hispeace-offerings for thanksgiving.

¹⁴ And of it he shalloffer one out of each oblation for a heave-offering untoJehovah; it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood ofthe peace-offerings.

¹⁵ And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offeringsfor thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; heshall not leave any of it until the morning.

¹⁶ But if thesacrifice of his oblation be a vow, or a freewill-offering, itshall be eaten on the day that he offereth his sacrifice; and onthe morrow that which remaineth of it shall be eaten:

¹⁷ butthat which remaineth of the flesh of the sacrifice on the thirdday shall be burnt with fire.

¹⁸ And if any of the flesh ofthe sacrifice of his peace-offerings be eaten on the third day,it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto himthat offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul thateateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁹ And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shallnot be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire. And as for the flesh,every one that is clean shall eat thereof:

²⁰ but the soulthat eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings,that pertain unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, thatsoul shall be cut off from his people.

²¹ And when any oneshall touch any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or anunclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and eat of the fleshof the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which pertain unto Jehovah,that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶ And ye shall eat nomanner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any ofyour dwellings.

²⁷ Whosoever it be that eateth any blood,that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²⁸ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁹ Speakunto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth thesacrifice of his peace-offerings unto Jehovah shall bring hisoblation unto Jehovah out of the sacrifice of hispeace-offerings:

³⁰ his own hands shall bring the offeringsof Jehovah made by fire; the fat with the breast shall he bring,that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah.

³¹ And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but thebreast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

³² And the rightthigh shall ye give unto the priest for a heave-offering out ofthe sacrifices of your peace-offerings.

³³ He among the sonsof Aaron that offereth the blood of the peace-offerings, and thefat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.

³⁴ For thewave-breast and the heave-thigh have I taken of the children ofIsrael out of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and havegiven them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as [their]portion for ever from the children of Israel.

³⁵ This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and theanointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Jehovahmade by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister untoJehovah in the priest's office;

³⁶ which Jehovah commandedto be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that heanointed them. It is [their] portion for ever throughout theirgenerations.

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt-offering, of themeal-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of thetrespass-offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrificeof peace-offerings;

³⁸ which Jehovah commanded Moses inmount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israelto offer their oblations unto Jehovah, in the wilderness ofSinai.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Take Aaronand his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil,and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and thebasket of unleavened bread;

³ and assemble thou all thecongregation at the door of the tent of meeting.

⁴ And Mosesdid as Jehovah commanded him; and the congregation was assembledat the door of the tent of meeting.

⁵ And Moses said untothe congregation, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commandedto be done.

⁶ And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed themwith water.

⁷ And he put upon him the coat, and girded himwith the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put theephod upon him, and he girded him with the skilfully woven bandof the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.

⁸ And heplaced the breastplate upon him: and in the breastplate he putthe Urim and the Thummim.

⁹ And he set the mitre upon hishead; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set the golden plate,the holy crown; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹⁰ And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed thetabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.

¹¹ And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, andanointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and itsbase, to sanctify them.

¹² And he poured of the anointingoil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.

¹³ And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and clothed them with coats, andgirded them with girdles, and bound head-tires upon them; asJehovah commanded Moses.

¹⁴ And he brought the bullock of the sin-offering: andAaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullockof the sin-offering.

¹⁵ And he slew it; and Moses took theblood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about withhis finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood atthe base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement forit.

¹⁶ And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards,and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat;and Moses burned it upon the altar.

¹⁷ But the bullock, andits skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with firewithout the camp; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹⁸ And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering: andAaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

¹⁹ And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon thealtar round about.

²⁰ And he cut the ram into its pieces;and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

²¹ And he washed the inwards and the legs with water; and Mosesburnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt-offering fora sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; asJehovah commanded Moses.

²² And he presented the other ram, the ram ofconsecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon thehead of the ram.

²³ And he slew it; and Moses took of theblood thereof, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, andupon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of hisright foot.

²⁴ And he brought Aaron's sons; and Moses put ofthe blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb oftheir right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot:and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

²⁵ And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that wasupon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the twokidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh:

²⁶ and out ofthe basket of unleavened bread, that was before Jehovah, he tookone unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer,and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh:

²⁷ andhe put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands ofhis sons, and waved them for a wave-offering before Jehovah.

²⁸ And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt themon the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a consecrationfor a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

²⁹ And Moses took the breast, and waved it for awave-offering before Jehovah: it was Moses' portion of the ramof consecration; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

³⁰ And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the bloodwhich was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon hisgarments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments withhim, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and hissons' garments with him.

³¹ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil theflesh at the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it andthe bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded,saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

³² And that whichremaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

³³ And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent ofmeeting seven days, until the days of your consecration befulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

³⁴ Ashath been done this day, so Jehovah hath commanded to do, tomake atonement for you.

³⁵ And at the door of the tent ofmeeting shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep thecharge of Jehovah, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

³⁶ And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovahcommanded by Moses.

¹ And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Mosescalled Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

² andhe said unto Aaron, Take thee a calf of the herd for asin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish,and offer them before Jehovah.

³ And unto the children ofIsrael thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for asin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, withoutblemish, for a burnt-offering;

⁴ and an ox and a ram forpeace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and ameal-offering mingled with oil: for to-day Jehovah appearethunto you.

⁵ And they brought that which Moses commandedbefore the tent of meeting: and all the congregation drew nearand stood before Jehovah.

⁶ And Moses said, This is thething which Jehovah commanded that ye should do: and the gloryof Jehovah shall appear unto you.

⁷ And Moses said untoAaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, andthy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for thepeople; and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonementfor them; as Jehovah commanded.

⁸ So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf ofthe sin-offering, which was for himself.

⁹ And the sons ofAaron presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger inthe blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and pouredout the blood at the base of the altar:

¹⁰ but the fat, andthe kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin-offering, heburnt upon the altar; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹¹ And theflesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp.

¹² And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sonsdelivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altarround about.

¹³ And they delivered the burnt-offering untohim, piece by piece, and the head: and he burnt them upon thealtar.

¹⁴ And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burntthem upon the burnt-offering on the altar.

¹⁵ And he presented the people's oblation, and took thegoat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it,and offered it for sin, as the first.

¹⁶ And he presentedthe burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.

¹⁷ And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his handtherefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides theburnt-offering of the morning.

¹⁸ He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice ofpeace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sonsdelivered unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altarround about,

¹⁹ and the fat of the ox and of the ram, thefat tail, and that which covereth [the inwards], and thekidneys, and the caul of the liver:

²⁰ and they put the fatupon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:

²¹ and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for awave-offering before Jehovah; as Moses commanded.

²² And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, andblessed them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering,and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.

²³ AndMoses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, andblessed the people: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto allthe people.

²⁴ And there came forth fire from beforeJehovah, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and thefat: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell ontheir faces.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each ofthem his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon,and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had notcommanded them.

² And there came forth fire from beforeJehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

³ Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spake,saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, andbefore all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held hispeace.

⁴ And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons ofUzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Draw near, carryyour brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

⁵ So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of thecamp, as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, andunto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair ofyour heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not,and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let yourbrethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning whichJehovah hath kindled.

⁷ And ye shall not go out from thedoor of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oilof Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word ofMoses.

⁸ And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ Drink nowine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye gointo the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statutefor ever throughout your generations:

¹⁰ and that ye maymake a distinction between the holy and the common, and betweenthe unclean and the clean;

¹¹ and that ye may teach thechildren of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spokenunto them by Moses.

¹² And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and untoIthamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering thatremaineth of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat itwithout leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;

¹³ and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion,and thy sons' portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire:for so I am commanded.

¹⁴ And the wave-breast and theheave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons,and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy portion,and thy sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of thepeace-offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Theheave-thigh and the wave-breast shall they bring with theofferings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for awave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thine, and thysons' with thee, as a portion for ever; as Jehovah hathcommanded.

¹⁶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of thesin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry withEleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left,saying,

¹⁷ Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering inthe place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he hathgiven it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to makeatonement for them before Jehovah?

¹⁸ Behold, the blood ofit was not brought into the sanctuary within: ye shouldcertainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

¹⁹ And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have theyoffered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering beforeJehovah; and there have befallen me such things as these: and ifI had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have beenwell-pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?

²⁰ And when Mosesheard [that], it was well-pleasing in his sight.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying untothem,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Theseare the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts thatare on the earth.

³ Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and isclovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that mayye eat.

⁴ Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them thatchew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, becausehe cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean untoyou.

⁵ And the coney, because he cheweth the cud butparteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

⁶ And thehare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, sheis unclean unto you.

⁷ And the swine, because he parteththe hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he isunclean unto you.

⁸ Of their flesh ye shall not eat, andtheir carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.

⁹ These may ye eat of all that are in the waters:whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, andin the rivers, that may ye eat.

¹⁰ And all that have notfins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that movein the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in thewaters, they are an abomination unto you,

¹¹ and they shallbe an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, andtheir carcasses ye shall have in abomination.

¹² Whatsoeverhath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abominationunto you.

¹³ And these ye shall have in abomination among thebirds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: theeagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,

¹⁴ and the kite,and the falcon after its kind,

¹⁵ every raven after itskind,

¹⁶ and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and theseamew, and the hawk after its kind,

¹⁷ and the little owl,and the cormorant, and the great owl,

¹⁸ and the hornedowl, and the pelican, and the vulture,

¹⁹ and the stork,the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

²⁰ All winged creeping things that go upon all fours arean abomination unto you.

²¹ Yet these may ye eat of allwinged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legsabove their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth.

²² Eventhese of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and thebald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, andthe grasshopper after its kind.

²³ But all winged creepingthings, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.

²⁴ And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoevertoucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;

²⁵ And whosoever beareth [aught] of the carcass of themshall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

²⁶ Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, norcheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheththem shall be unclean.

²⁷ And whatsoever goeth upon itspaws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are uncleanunto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean untilthe even.

²⁸ And he that beareth the carcass of them shallwash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they areunclean unto you.

²⁹ And these are they which are unclean unto you amongthe creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, andthe mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

³⁰ and thegecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and thesand-lizard, and the chameleon.

³¹ These are they which areunclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them,when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

³² Andupon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, itshall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment,or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work isdone, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean untilthe even; then shall it be clean.

³³ And every earthenvessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shallbe unclean, and it ye shall break.

³⁴ All food [therein]which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall beunclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vesselshall be unclean.

³⁵ And every thing whereupon [any part]of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, orrange for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean,and shall be unclean unto you.

³⁶ Nevertheless a fountainor a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: butthat which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.

³⁷ Andif [aught] of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which isto be sown, it is clean.

³⁸ But if water be put upon theseed, and [aught] of their carcass fall thereon, it is uncleanunto you.

³⁹ And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he thattoucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁰ And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash hisclothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth thecarcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until theeven.

⁴¹ And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earthis an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

⁴² Whatsoevergoeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, orwhatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creepupon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are anabomination.

⁴³ Ye shall not make yourselves abominablewith any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye makeyourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

⁴⁴ For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselvestherefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall yedefile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that movethupon the earth.

⁴⁵ For I am Jehovah that brought you up outof the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore beholy, for I am holy.

⁴⁶ This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and ofevery living creature that moveth in the waters, and of everycreature that creepeth upon the earth;

⁴⁷ to make adistinction between the unclean and the clean, and between theliving thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may notbe eaten.

² Speakunto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed,and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; asin the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she beunclean.

³ And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskinshall be circumcised.

⁴ And she shall continue in the bloodof [her] purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch nohallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days ofher purifying be fulfilled.

⁵ But if she bear a maid-child,then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and sheshall continue in the blood of [her] purifying threescore andsix days.

⁶ And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, fora son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old fora burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for asin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto thepriest:

⁷ and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and makeatonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountainof her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether amale or a female.

⁸ And if her means suffice not for alamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two youngpigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for asin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, andshe shall be clean.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes;and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall come in, and look, and,behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the housewas plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean,because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take tocleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, andhyssop:

⁵⁰ and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthenvessel over running water:

⁵¹ and he shall take the cedarwood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, anddip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the runningwater, and sprinkle the house seven times:

⁵² and he shallcleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with therunning water, and with the living bird, and with the cedarwood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

⁵³ but heshall let got the living bird out of the city into the openfield: so shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall beclean.

⁵⁴ This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy,and for a scall,

⁵⁵ and for the leprosy of a garment, andfor a house,

⁵⁶ and for a rising, and for a scab, and for abright spot;

⁵⁷ to teach when it is unclean, and when it isclean: this is the law of leprosy.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,When any man hath an issue out of his flesh, because of hisissue he is unclean.

³ And this shall be his uncleanness inhis issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh bestopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.

⁴ Every bedwhereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean; andeverything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean.

⁵ Andwhosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathehimself in water, and be unclean until the even.

⁶ And hethat sitteth on anything whereon he that hath the issue satshall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and beunclean until the even.

⁷ And he that toucheth the flesh ofhim that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathehimself in water, and be unclean until the even.

⁸ And ifhe that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean, then heshall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and beunclean until the even.

⁹ And what saddle soever he thathath the issue rideth upon shall be unclean.

¹⁰ Andwhosoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be uncleanuntil the even: and he that beareth those things shall wash hisclothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until theeven.

¹¹ And whomsoever he that hath the issue toucheth,without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash hisclothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until theeven.

¹² And the earthen vessel, which he that hath theissue toucheth, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shallbe rinsed in water.

¹³ And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of hisissue, then he shall number to himself seven days for hiscleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh inrunning water, and shall be clean.

¹⁴ And on the eighth dayhe shall take to him two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, andcome before Jehovah unto the door of the tent of meeting, andgive them unto the priest:

¹⁵ and the priest shall offerthem, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for aburnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for himbefore Jehovah for his issue.

¹⁶ And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him,then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean untilthe even.

¹⁷ And every garment, and every skin, whereon isthe seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and beunclean until the even.

¹⁸ The woman also with whom a manshall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathethemselves in water, and be unclean until the even.

¹⁹ And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in herflesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: andwhosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

²⁰ And everything that she lieth upon in her impurity shall beunclean: everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.

²¹ And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes,and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

²² And whosoever toucheth anything that she sitteth uponshall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and beunclean until the even.

²³ And if it be on the bed, or onanything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall beunclean until the even.

²⁴ And if any man lie with her, andher impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; andevery bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

²⁵ And if a woman have an issue of her blood many daysnot in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyondthe time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of heruncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she isunclean.

²⁶ Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of herissue shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity: andeverything whereon she sitteth shall be unclean, as theuncleanness of her impurity.

²⁷ And whosoever toucheththose things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, andbathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

²⁸ But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number toherself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

²⁹ And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtle-doves,or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to thedoor of the tent of meeting.

³⁰ And the priest shall offerthe one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering;and the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah forthe issue of her uncleanness.

³¹ Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel fromtheir uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness, whenthey defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.

³² This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of himwhose seed of copulation goeth from him, so that he is uncleanthereby;

³³ and of her that is sick with her impurity, andof him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and ofhim that lieth with her that is unclean.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, after the death of thetwo sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Jehovah, and died;

² and Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thybrother, that he come not at all times into the holy placewithin the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark;that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon themercy-seat.

³ Herewith shall Aaron come into the holyplace: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for aburnt-offering.

⁴ He shall put on the holy linen coat, andhe shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall begirded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall hebe attired: they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe hisflesh in water, and put them on.

⁵ And he shall take of thecongregation of the children of Israel two he-goats for asin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.

⁶ And Aaron shall present the bullock of thesin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonement forhimself, and for his house.

⁷ And he shall take the twogoats, and set them before Jehovah at the door of the tent ofmeeting.

⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats;one lot for Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel.

⁹ AndAaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell forJehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering.

¹⁰ But the goat,on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive beforeJehovah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazelinto the wilderness.

¹¹ And Aaron shall present the bullock of thesin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement forhimself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of thesin-offering which is for himself:

¹² and he shall take acenser full of coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah,and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring itwithin the veil:

¹³ and he shall put the incense upon thefire before Jehovah, that the cloud of the incense may cover themercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:

¹⁴ and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle itwith his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east; and before themercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seventimes.

¹⁵ Then shall he kill the goat of the sin-offering, thatis for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and dowith his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, andsprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat:

¹⁶ and he shall make atonement for the holy place, becauseof the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and because oftheir transgressions, even all their sins: and so shall he dofor the tent of meeting, that dwelleth with them in the midst oftheir uncleannesses.

¹⁷ And there shall be no man in thetent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the holyplace, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself,and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

¹⁸ And he shall go out unto the altar that is beforeJehovah, and make atonement for it, and shall take of the bloodof the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it uponthe horns of the altar round about.

¹⁹ And he shallsprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, andcleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the childrenof Israel.

²⁰ And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holyplace, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall presentthe live goat:

²¹ and Aaron shall lay both his hands uponthe head of the live goat, and confess over him all theiniquities of the children of Israel, and all theirtransgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them uponthe head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of aman that is in readiness into the wilderness:

²² and thegoat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitaryland: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

²³ And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, andshall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he wentinto the holy place, and shall leave them there:

²⁴ and heshall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on hisgarments, and come forth, and offer his burnt-offering and theburnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself andfor the people.

²⁵ And the fat of the sin-offering shall heburn upon the altar.

²⁶ And he that letteth go the goat forAzazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, andafterward he shall come into the camp.

²⁷ And the bullockof the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whoseblood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shallbe carried forth without the camp; and they shall burn in thefire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

²⁸ Andhe that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his fleshin water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

²⁹ And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in theseventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflictyour souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, orthe stranger that sojourneth among you:

³⁰ for on this dayshall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all yoursins shall ye be clean before Jehovah.

³¹ It is a sabbathof solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it isa statute for ever.

³² And the priest, who shall beanointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in hisfather's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on thelinen garments, even the holy garments:

³³ and he shallmake atonement for the holy sanctuary; and he shall makeatonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and heshall make atonement for the priests and for all the people ofthe assembly.

³⁴ And this shall be an everlasting statuteunto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel becauseof all their sins once in the year. And he did as Jehovahcommanded Moses.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speakunto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children ofIsrael, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hathcommanded, saying,

³ What man soever there be of the houseof Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, orthat killeth it without the camp,

⁴ and hath not brought itunto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblationunto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall beimputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall becut off from among his people:

⁵ To the end that thechildren of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which theysacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them untoJehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest,and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings untoJehovah.

⁶ And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon thealtar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burnthe fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

⁷ And they shall nomore sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after whichthey play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto themthroughout their generations.

⁸ And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there beof the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn amongthem, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,

⁹ andbringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, tosacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from hispeople.

¹⁰ And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel,or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth anymanner of blood, I will set my face against that soul thateateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

¹¹ For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I havegiven it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls:for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

¹² Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul ofyou shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojournethamong you eat blood.

¹³ And whatsoever man there be of thechildren of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them,who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; heshall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

¹⁴ For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is[all one] with the life thereof: therefore I said unto thechildren of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner offlesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoevereateth it shall be cut off.

¹⁵ And every soul that eateththat which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts,whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash hisclothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until theeven: then shall he be clean.

¹⁶ But if he wash them not,nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speakunto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovahyour God.

³ After the doings of the land of Egypt, whereinye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land ofCanaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall yewalk in their statutes.

⁴ Mine ordinances shall ye do, andmy statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah yourGod.

⁵ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mineordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I amJehovah.

⁶ None of you shall approach to any that are near of kinto him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am Jehovah.

⁷ Thenakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shaltthou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover hernakedness.

⁸ The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thounot uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.

⁹ The nakednessof thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter ofthy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even theirnakedness thou shalt not uncover.

¹⁰ The nakedness of thyson's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even theirnakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine ownnakedness.

¹¹ The nakedness of thy father's wife'sdaughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shaltnot uncover her nakedness.

¹² Thou shalt not uncover thenakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's nearkinswoman.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother,thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not uncover thenakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take herson's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover hernakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

¹⁸ And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival [toher], to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in herlife-time.

¹⁹ And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncoverher nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

²⁰ And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor'swife, to defile thyself with her.

²¹ And thou shalt notgive any of thy seed to make them pass through [the fire] toMolech; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I amJehovah.

²² Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as withwomankind: it is abomination.

²³ And thou shalt not liewith any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall anywoman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: forin all these the nations are defiled which I cast out frombefore you;

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I dovisit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth outher inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye therefore shall keep my statutes andmine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations;neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth amongyou;

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of theland done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);

²⁸ that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it,as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ Forwhosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the soulsthat do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any ofthese abominable customs, which were practised before you, andthat ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speakunto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and sayunto them, Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy.

³ Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; andye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.

⁴ Turn yenot unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovahyour God.

⁵ And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings untoJehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.

⁶ Itshall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: andif aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt withfire.

⁷ And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it isan abomination; it shall not be accepted:

⁸ but every onethat eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profanedthe holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off fromhis people.

⁹ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shaltnot wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thougather the gleaning of thy harvest.

¹⁰ And thou shalt notglean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruitof thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for thesojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

¹¹ Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely,nor lie one to another.

¹² And ye shall not swear by myname falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

¹³ Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: thewages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all nightuntil the morning.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not curse the deaf, norput a stumblingblock before the blind; but thou shalt fear thyGod: I am Jehovah.

¹⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thoushalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the personof the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thyneighbor.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebeareramong thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood ofthy neighbor: I am Jehovah.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thoushalt surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because ofhim.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudgeagainst the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thyneighbor as thyself: I am Jehovah.

¹⁹ Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thycattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy fieldwith two kinds of seed: neither shall there come upon thee agarment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.

²⁰ Andwhosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid,betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedomgiven her; they shall be punished; they shall not be put todeath, because she was not free.

²¹ And he shall bring histrespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent ofmeeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering.

²² And thepriest shall make atonement for him with the ram of thetrespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hathsinned: and the sin which he hath sinned shall be forgiven him.

²³ And when ye shall come into the land, and shall haveplanted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count thefruit thereof as their uncircumcision: three years shall they beas uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten.

²⁴ But inthe fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for givingpraise unto Jehovah.

²⁵ And in the fifth year shall ye eatof the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increasethereof: I am Jehovah your God.

²⁶ Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neithershall ye use enchantments, nor practise augury.

²⁷ Ye shallnot round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar thecorners of thy beard.

²⁸ Ye shall not make any cuttings inyour flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I amJehovah.

²⁹ Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; lestthe land fall to whoredom, and the land become full ofwickedness.

³⁰ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence mysanctuary; I am Jehovah.

³¹ Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, norunto the wizards; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I amJehovah your God.

³² Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honorthe face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I amJehovah.

³³ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, yeshall not do him wrong.

³⁴ The stranger that sojournethwith you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thoushalt love him as thyself; for ye were sojourners in the land ofEgypt: I am Jehovah your God.

³⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, inmeasures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

³⁶ Justbalances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall yehave: I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land ofEgypt.

³⁷ And ye shall observe all my statutes, and allmine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Moreover,thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of thechildren of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel,that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put todeath: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

³ I also will set my face against that man, and will cuthim off from among his people; because he hath given of his seedunto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holyname.

⁴ And if the people at the land do at all hide theireyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, andput him not to death;

⁵ then I will set my face againstthat man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and allthat play the harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech,from among their people.

⁶ And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiarspirits, and unto the wizards, to play the harlot after them, Iwill even set my face against that soul, and will cut him offfrom among his people.

⁷ Sanctify yourselves therefore, andbe ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God.

⁸ And ye shall keepmy statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you.

⁹ For every one that curseth his father or his mother shallsurely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother;his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁰ And the man that committeth adultery with anotherman's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor'swife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put todeath.

¹¹ And the man that lieth with his father's wifehath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surelybe put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹² And ifa man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely beput to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall beupon them.

¹³ And if a man lie with mankind, as withwomankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shallsurely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁴ And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: theyshall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be nowickedness among you.

¹⁵ And if a man lie with a beast, heshall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

¹⁶ And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie downthereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shallsurely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁷ And if a man shall take his sister, his father'sdaughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, andshe see his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall becut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hathuncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸ And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness,and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath made naked herfountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: andboth of them shall be cut off from among their people.

¹⁹ And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister,nor of thy father's sister; for he hath made naked his near kin:they shall bear their iniquity.

²⁰ And if a man shall liewith his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness:they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

²¹ Andif a man shall take his brother's wife, it is impurity: he hathuncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

²² Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mineordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you todwell therein, vomit you not out.

²³ And ye shall not walkin the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: forthey did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²⁴ But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land,and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing withmilk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who hath separated youfrom the peoples.

²⁵ Ye shall therefore make a distinctionbetween the clean beast and the unclean, and between the uncleanfowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominableby beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the groundteemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean.

²⁶ Andye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have setyou apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.

²⁷ A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, orthat is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stonethem with stones; their blood shall be upon them.

¹ And Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests,the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defilehimself for the dead among his people;

² except for hiskin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father,and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,

³ and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, thathath had no husband; for her may he defile himself.

⁴ Heshall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people,to profane himself.

⁵ They shall not make baldness upontheir head, neither shall they shave off the corner of theirbeard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

⁶ They shallbe holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God;for the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of theirGod, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

⁷ Theyshall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profane; neithershall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he isholy unto his God.

⁸ Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; forhe offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee:for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.

⁹ And thedaughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing theharlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

¹⁰ And he that is the high priest among his brethren,upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that isconsecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair ofhis head go loose, nor rend his clothes;

¹¹ neither shallhe go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, orfor his mother;

¹² neither shall he go out of thesanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crownof the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

¹³ And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹⁴ Awidow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, theseshall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he taketo wife.

¹⁵ And he shall not profane his seed among hispeople: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth him.

¹⁶ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷ Speakunto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout theirgenerations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offerthe bread of his God.

¹⁸ For whatsoever man he be that hatha blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or hethat hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous,

¹⁹ or a manthat is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

²⁰ orcrook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, oris scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

²¹ no manof the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall comenigh to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: he hath ablemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

²² He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the mostholy, and of the holy:

²³ only he shall not go in unto theveil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish;that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am Jehovah whosanctifieth them.

²⁴ So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to hissons, and unto all the children of Israel.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speakunto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves fromthe holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallowunto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.

³ Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seedthroughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holythings, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, havinghis uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from beforeme: I am Jehovah.

⁴ What man soever of the seed of Aaron isa leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things,until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is uncleanby the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

⁵ orwhosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be madeunclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoeveruncleanness he hath;

⁶ the soul that toucheth any suchshall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holythings, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

⁷ And when thesun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat ofthe holy things, because it is his bread.

⁸ That whichdieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, todefile himself therewith: I am Jehovah.

⁹ They shalltherefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and dietherein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁰ There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: asojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat ofthe holy thing.

¹¹ But if a priest buy any soul, thepurchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are bornin his house, they shall eat of his bread.

¹² And if apriest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eatof the heave-offering of the holy things.

¹³ But if apriest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child,and be returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, sheshall eat of her father's bread: but there shall no stranger eatthereof.

¹⁴ And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly,then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall giveunto the priest the holy thing.

¹⁵ And they shall notprofane the holy things of the children of Israel, which theyoffer unto Jehovah,

¹⁶ and [so] cause them to bear theiniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things:for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁷ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speakunto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children ofIsrael, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house ofIsrael, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth hisoblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of theirfreewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for aburnt-offering;

¹⁹ that ye may be accepted, [ye shalloffer] a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, orof the goats.

²⁰ But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shallye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings untoJehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of theherd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; thereshall be no blemish therein.

²² Blind, or broken, ormaimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall notoffer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of themupon the altar unto Jehovah.

²³ Either a bullock or a lambthat hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, thatmayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow itshall not be accepted.

²⁴ That which hath its stonesbruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer untoJehovah; neither shall ye do [thus] in your land.

²⁵ Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread ofyour God of any of these; because their corruption is in them,there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ When abullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shallbe seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day andthenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offeringmade by fire unto Jehovah.

²⁸ And whether it be cow or ewe,ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

²⁹ Andwhen ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, yeshall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.

³⁰ On the sameday it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until themorning: I am Jehovah.

³¹ Therefore shall ye keep mycommandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

³² And ye shallnot profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among thechildren of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,

³³ whobrought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I amJehovah.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speakunto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feastsof Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,even these are my set feasts.

³ Six days shall work bedone: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holyconvocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath untoJehovah in all your dwellings.

⁴ These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holyconvocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.

⁵ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month ateven, is Jehovah's passover.

⁶ And on the fifteenth day ofthe same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah:seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.

⁷ In the firstday ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servilework.

⁸ But ye shall offer an offering made by fire untoJehovah seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; yeshall do no servile work.

⁹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰ Speakunto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are comeinto the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvestthereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits ofyour harvest unto the priest:

¹¹ and he shall wave thesheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you: on the morrowafter the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

¹² And in theday when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb withoutblemish a year old for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.

¹³ And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts [of anephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fireunto Jehovah for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereofshall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

¹⁴ And ye shalleat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until thisselfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: itis a statute for ever throughout your generations in all yourdwellings.

¹⁵ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after thesabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of thewave-offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete:

¹⁶ even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye numberfifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah.

¹⁷ Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loavesof two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they shall be of fine flour,they shall be baken with leaven, for first-fruits unto Jehovah.

¹⁸ And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs withoutblemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two rams: theyshall be a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, with theirmeal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering madeby fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

¹⁹ And ye shalloffer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a yearold for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.

²⁰ And the priestshall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for awave-offering before Jehovah, with the two lambs: they shall beholy to Jehovah for the priest.

²¹ And ye shall makeproclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holyconvocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: it is astatute for ever in all your dwellings throughout yourgenerations.

²² And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shaltnot wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thougather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them forthe poor, and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

²³ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁴ Speakunto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, onthe first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, amemorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

²⁵ Yeshall do no servile work; and ye shall offer an offering made byfire unto Jehovah.

²⁶ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ Howbeiton the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement:it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflictyour souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire untoJehovah.

²⁸ And ye shall do no manner of work in that sameday; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for youbefore Jehovah your God.

²⁹ For whatsoever soul it be thatshall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut offfrom his people.

³⁰ And whatsoever soul it be that doethany manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroyfrom among his people.

³¹ Ye shall do no manner of work: itis a statute for ever throughout your generations in all yourdwellings.

³² It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemnrest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of themonth at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.

³³ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

³⁴ Speakunto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day ofthis seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven daysunto Jehovah.

³⁵ On the first day shall be a holyconvocation: ye shall do no servile work.

³⁶ Seven days yeshall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: on the eighthday shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer anoffering made by fire unto Jehovah: it is a solemn assembly; yeshall do no servile work.

³⁷ These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shallproclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made byfire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, asacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;

³⁸ besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, andbesides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings,which ye give unto Jehovah.

³⁹ Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month,when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keepthe feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day shall be asolemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

⁴⁰ And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit ofgoodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees,and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Jehovahyour God seven days.

⁴¹ And ye shall keep it a feast untoJehovah seven days in the year: it is a statute for everthroughout your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventhmonth.

⁴² Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that arehome-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;

⁴³ that yourgenerations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwellin booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I amJehovah your God.

⁴⁴ And Moses declared unto the childrenof Israel the set feasts of Jehovah.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Commandthe children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oilbeaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

³ Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent ofmeeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morningbefore Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for everthroughout your generations.

⁴ He shall keep in order thelamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually.

⁵ And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakesthereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.

⁶ And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, uponthe pure table before Jehovah.

⁷ And thou shalt put purefrankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for amemorial, even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

⁸ Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovahcontinually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, aneverlasting covenant.

⁹ And it shall be for Aaron and hissons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holyunto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetualstatute.

¹⁰ And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father wasan Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the sonof the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together inthe camp:

¹¹ and the son of the Israelitish womanblasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him untoMoses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter ofDibri, of the tribe of Dan.

¹² And they put him in ward,that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah.

¹³ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁴ Bringforth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all thatheard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all thecongregation stone him.

¹⁵ And thou shalt speak unto thechildren of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bearhis sin.

¹⁶ And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, heshall surely be put to death; all the congregation shallcertainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born,when he blasphemeth the name [of Jehovah], shall be put todeath.

¹⁷ And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surelybe put to death.

¹⁸ And he that smiteth a beast mortallyshall make it good, life for life.

¹⁹ And if a man cause ablemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done tohim:

²⁰ breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; ashe hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered untohim.

²¹ And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: andhe that killeth a man shall be put to death.

²² Ye shallhave one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for thehome-born: for I am Jehovah your God.

²³ And Moses spake tothe children of Israel; and they brought forth him that hadcursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And thechildren of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the landkeep a sabbath unto Jehovah.

³ Six years thou shalt sow thyfield, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gatherin the fruits thereof;

⁴ but in the seventh year shall be asabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto Jehovah:thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

⁵ That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap,and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: itshall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

⁶ And thesabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and forthy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and forthy stranger, who sojourn with thee.

⁷ And for thy cattle,and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increasethereof be for food.

⁸ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years untothee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee thedays of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

⁹ Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenthday of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye sendabroad the trumpet throughout all your land.

¹⁰ And yeshall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughoutthe land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubileeunto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, andye shall return every man unto his family.

¹¹ A jubileeshall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neitherreap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes]in it of the undressed vines.

¹² For it is a jubilee; itshall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out ofthe field.

¹³ In this year of jubilee ye shall return every manunto his possession.

¹⁴ And if thou sell aught unto thyneighbor, or buy of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not wrong oneanother.

¹⁵ According to the number of years after thejubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, [and] according unto thenumber of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

¹⁶ According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase theprice thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thoushalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops dothhe sell unto thee.

¹⁷ And ye shall not wrong one another;but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁸ Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mineordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land insafety.

¹⁹ And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shalleat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

²⁰ And if yeshall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shallnot sow, nor gather in our increase;

²¹ then I will commandmy blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forthfruit for the three years.

²² And ye shall sow the eighthyear, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninthyear, until its fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store.

²³ And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for theland is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

²⁴ And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant aredemption for the land.

²⁵ If thy brother be waxed poor,and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that isnext unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hathsold.

²⁶ And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he bewaxed rich and find sufficient to redeem it;

²⁷ then lethim reckon the years of the sale thereof, and restore theoverplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall returnunto his possession.

²⁸ But if he be not able to get itback for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain inthe hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee:and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto hispossession.

²⁹ And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city,then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; fora full year shall he have the right of redemption.

³⁰ Andif it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then thehouse that is in the walled city shall be made sure inperpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: itshall not go out in the jubilee.

³¹ But the houses of thevillages which have no wall round about them shall be reckonedwith the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and theyshall go out in the jubilee.

³² Nevertheless the cities ofthe Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, maythe Levites redeem at any time.

³³ And if one of theLevites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city ofhis possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses ofthe cities of the Levites are their possession among thechildren of Israel.

³⁴ But the field of the suburbs oftheir cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetualpossession.

³⁵ And if thy brother be waxed poor, and his hand failwith thee; then thou shalt uphold him: [as] a stranger and asojourner shall he live with thee.

³⁶ Take thou no interestof him or increase, but fear thy God; that thy brother may livewith thee.

³⁷ Thou shalt not give him thy money uponinterest, nor give him thy victuals for increase.

³⁸ I amJehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land ofEgypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your God.

³⁹ And if thy brother be waxed poor with thee, and sellhimself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as abond-servant.

⁴⁰ As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, heshall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year ofjubilee:

⁴¹ then shall he go out from thee, he and hischildren with him, and shall return unto his own family, andunto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

⁴² Forthey are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land ofEgypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

⁴³ Thou shalt notrule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.

⁴⁴ And asfor thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have; of thenations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmenand bondmaids.

⁴⁵ Moreover of the children of the strangersthat sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of theirfamilies that are with you, which they have begotten in yourland: and they shall be your possession.

⁴⁶ And ye shallmake them an inheritance for your children after you, to holdfor a possession; of them shall ye take your bondmen for ever:but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule,one over another, with rigor.

⁴⁷ And if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxedrich, and thy brother be waxed poor beside him, and sell himselfunto the stranger [or] sojourner with thee, or to the stock ofthe stranger's family;

⁴⁸ after that he is sold he may beredeemed: one of his brethren may redeem him;

⁴⁹ or hisuncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nighof kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxedrich, he may redeem himself.

⁵⁰ And he shall reckon withhim that bought him from the year that he sold himself to himunto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall beaccording unto the number of years; according to the time of ahired servant shall he be with him.

⁵¹ If there be yet manyyears, according unto them he shall give back the price of hisredemption out of the money that he was bought for.

⁵² Andif there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then heshall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he giveback the price of his redemption.

⁵³ As a servant hiredyear by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigorover him in thy sight.

⁵⁴ And if he be not redeemed bythese [means], then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he,and his children with him.

⁵⁵ For unto me the children ofIsrael are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forthout of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

¹ Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear youup a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place anyfigured stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I amJehovah your God.

² Ye shall keep my sabbaths, andreverence my sanctuary: I am Jehovah.

³ If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments,and do them;

⁴ then I will give your rains in their season,and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of thefield shall yield their fruit.

⁵ And your threshing shallreach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto thesowing time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwellin your land safely.

⁶ And I will give peace in the land,and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and Iwill cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shallthe sword go through your land.

⁷ And ye shall chase yourenemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸ Andfive of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shallchase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you bythe sword.

⁹ And I will have respect unto you, and make youfruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant withyou.

¹⁰ And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shallbring forth the old because of the new.

¹¹ And I will setmy tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

¹² And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and yeshall be my people.

¹³ I am Jehovah your God, who broughtyou forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be theirbondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made yougo upright.

¹⁴ But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not doall these commandments;

¹⁵ and if ye shall reject mystatutes, and if your soul abhor mine ordinances, so that yewill not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;

¹⁶ I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you,even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, andmake the soul to pine away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain,for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷ And I will set my faceagainst you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: theythat hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when nonepursueth you.

¹⁸ And if ye will not yet for these thingshearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more foryour sins.

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power: andI will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass;

²⁰ and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your landshall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of theland yield their fruit.

²¹ And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearkenunto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon youaccording to your sins.

²² And I will send the beast of thefield among you, which shall rob you of your children, anddestroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your waysshall become desolate.

²³ And if by these things ye willnot be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me;

²⁴ then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you,even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁵ And I will bring asword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of thecovenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities:and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall bedelivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶ When I break yourstaff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, andthey shall deliver your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat,and not be satisfied.

²⁷ And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, butwalk contrary unto me;

²⁸ then I will walk contrary untoyou in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for yoursins.

²⁹ And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and theflesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

³⁰ And I will destroyyour high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast yourdead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul shallabhor you.

³¹ And I will make your cities a waste, and willbring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell thesavor of your sweet odors.

³² And I will bring the landinto desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall beastonished at it.

³³ And you will I scatter among thenations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your landshall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

³⁴ Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as itlieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land; even thenshall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

³⁵ As long asit lieth desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it hadnot in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

³⁶ And as forthem that are left of you, I will send a faintness into theirheart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a drivenleaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth fromthe sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

³⁷ Andthey shall stumble one upon another, as it were before thesword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to standbefore your enemies.

³⁸ And ye shall perish among thenations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

³⁹ And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquityin your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of theirfathers shall they pine away with them.

⁴⁰ And they shall confess their iniquity, and theiniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which theytrespassed against me, and also that, because they walkedcontrary unto me,

⁴¹ I also walked contrary unto them, andbrought them into the land of their enemies: if then theiruncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of thepunishment of their iniquity;

⁴² then will I remember mycovenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and alsomy covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will rememberthe land.

⁴³ The land also shall be left by them, and shallenjoy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them: andthey shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because,even because they rejected mine ordinances, and their soulabhorred my statutes.

⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when theyare in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them,neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to breakmy covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God;

⁴⁵ but Iwill for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight ofthe nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.

⁴⁶ These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, whichJehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mountSinai by Moses.

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speakunto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shallaccomplish a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by thyestimation.

³ And thy estimation shall be of the male fromtwenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimationshall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of thesanctuary.

⁴ And if it be a female, then thy estimationshall be thirty shekels.

⁵ And if it be from five years oldeven unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of themale twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

⁶ Andif it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thyestimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and forthe female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

⁷ And if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be amale, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for thefemale ten shekels.

⁸ But if he be poorer than thyestimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and thepriest shall value him; according to the ability of him thatvowed shall the priest value him.

⁹ And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblationunto Jehovah, all that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shallbe holy.

¹⁰ He shall not alter it, nor change it, a goodfor a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all changebeast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changedshall be holy.

¹¹ And if it be any unclean beast, of whichthey do not offer an oblation unto Jehovah, then he shall setthe beast before the priest;

¹² and the priest shall valueit, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, soshall it be.

¹³ But if he will indeed redeem it, then heshall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

¹⁴ And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holyunto Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it begood or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

¹⁵ And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, thenhe shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation untoit, and it shall be his.

¹⁶ And if a man shall sanctify unto Jehovah part of thefield of his possession, then thy estimation shall be accordingto the sowing thereof: the sowing of a homer of barley [shall bevalued] at fifty shekels of silver.

¹⁷ If he sanctify hisfield from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation itshall stand.

¹⁸ But if he sanctify his field after thejubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the moneyaccording to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee; andan abatement shall be made from thy estimation.

¹⁹ And ifhe that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then heshall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it,and it shall be assured to him.

²⁰ And if he will notredeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man,it shall not be redeemed any more:

²¹ but the field, whenit goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto Jehovah, as afield devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

²² And if he sanctify unto Jehovah a field which he hathbought, which is not of the field of his possession;

²³ then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thyestimation unto the year of jubilee: and he shall give thineestimation in that day, as a holy thing unto Jehovah.

²⁴ Inthe year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom itwas bought, even to him to whom the possession of the landbelongeth.

²⁵ And all thy estimations shall be according tothe shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
