1:1 |
And
the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying, |
1:2 |
Give
these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering
to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the
flock. |
1:3 |
If
the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a
mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be
pleasing to the Lord. |
1:4 |
And
he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken
for him, to take away his sin. |
1:5 |
And
the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests,
are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at
the door of the Tent of meeting. |
1:6 |
And
the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts. |
1:7 |
And
Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in
order on the fire: |
1:8 |
And
Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in
order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar: |
1:9 |
But
its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be
burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by
fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord. |
1:10 |
And
if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him
give a male without a mark. |
1:11 |
And
he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and
Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the
altar. |
1:12 |
And
the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the
priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the
altar: |
1:13 |
But
the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest
will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned
offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord. |
1:14 |
And
if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make
his offering of doves or of young pigeons. |
1:15 |
And
the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted
off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side
of the altar: |
1:16 |
And
he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the
east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put: |
1:17 |
And
let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned
on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned
offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord. |
2:1 |
And
when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the
best meal, with oil on it and perfume: |
2:2 |
And
let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand
some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the
priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a
sweet smell to the Lord. |
2:3 |
And
the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy
among the Lord's fire offerings. |
2:4 |
And
when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened
cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with
oil. |
2:5 |
And
if you give a meal offering cooked on a flat plate, let it be of the best
meal, unleavened and mixed with oil. |
2:6 |
Let
it be broken into bits, and put oil on it; it is a meal offering. |
2:7 |
And
if your offering is of meal cooked in fat over the fire, let it be made of
the best meal mixed with oil. |
2:8 |
And
you are to give the meal offering made of these things to the Lord, and let
the priest take it to the altar. |
2:9 |
And
he is to take from the meal offering a part, for a sign, burning it on the
altar; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord. |
2:10 |
And
the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy
among the Lord's fire offerings. |
2:11 |
No
meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven
or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord. |
2:12 |
You
may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to
go up as a sweet smell on the altar. |
2:13 |
And
every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to
be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings
give salt. |
2:14 |
And
if you give a meal offering of first-fruits to the Lord, give, as your
offering of first-fruits, new grain, made dry with fire, crushed new
grain. |
2:15 |
And put oil on
it and perfume: it is a meal offering. |
2:16 |
And
part of the meal of the offering and part of the oil and all the perfume is
to be burned for a sign by the priest: it is an offering made by fire to the
Lord. |
3:1 |
And
if his offering is given for a peace-offering; if he gives of the herd, male
or female, let him give it without any mark on it, before the Lord. |
3:2 |
And
he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the
door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some
of the blood on and round the altar. |
3:3 |
And
he is to give of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord;
the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts, |
3:4 |
And
the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs,
and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away; |
3:5 |
That
it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which
is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell
to the Lord. |
3:6 |
And
if what he gives for a peace-offering to the Lord is of the flock, let him
give a male or female, without any mark on it. |
3:7 |
If
his offering is a lamb, then let it be placed before the Lord: |
3:8 |
And
he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before
the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and
round the altar. |
3:9 |
And
of the peace-offering, let him give an offering made by fire to the Lord; the
fat of it, all the fat tail, he is to take away near the backbone; and the
fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts, |
3:10 |
And
the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs,
and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away; |
3:11 |
That
it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering
made by fire to the Lord. |
3:12 |
And
if his offering is a goat, then let it be placed before the Lord, |
3:13 |
And
let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of
meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the
altar. |
3:14 |
And
of it let him make his offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord; the
fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts, |
3:15 |
And
the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs,
and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, let him take away; |
3:16 |
That
it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering
made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the Lord's. |
3:17 |
Let
it be an order for ever, through all your generations, in all your houses,
that you are not to take fat or blood for food. |
4:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
4:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel: These are the offerings of anyone who does wrong
through error, doing any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to
be done: |
4:3 |
If
the chief priest by doing wrong becomes a cause of sin to the people, then
let him give to the Lord for the sin which he has done, an ox, without any
mark, for a sin-offering. |
4:4 |
And
he is to take the ox to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord; and
put his hand on its head and put it to death before the Lord. |
4:5 |
And
the chief priest is to take some of its blood and take it to the Tent of
meeting; |
4:6 |
And
the priest is to put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of it before the
Lord seven times, in front of the veil of the holy place. |
4:7 |
And
the priest is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar on which
perfume is burned before the Lord in the Tent of meeting, draining out all
the rest of the blood of the ox at the base of the altar of burned offering
which is at the door of the Tent of meeting. |
4:8 |
And
he is to take away all the fat of the ox of the sin-offering; the fat
covering the inside parts and all the fat of the inside parts, |
4:9 |
And
the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs,
and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away, |
4:10 |
As
it is taken from the ox of the peace-offering; and it is to be burned by the
priest on the altar of burned offerings. |
4:11 |
And
the skin of the ox and all its flesh, with its head and its legs and its
inside parts and its waste, |
4:12 |
All
the ox, he is to take away outside the circle of the tents into a clean place
where the burned waste is put, and there it is to be burned on wood with
fire. |
4:13 |
And
if all the people of Israel do wrong, without anyone's knowledge; if they
have done any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done,
causing sin to come on them; |
4:14 |
When
the sin which they have done comes to light, then let all the people give an
ox for a sin-offering, and take it before the Tent of meeting. |
4:15 |
And
let the chiefs of the people put their hands on its head before the Lord, and
put the ox to death before the Lord. |
4:16 |
And
the priest is to take some of its blood to the Tent of meeting; |
4:17 |
And
put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of the blood seven times before
the Lord in front of the veil. |
4:18 |
And
he is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the
Lord in the Tent of meeting; and all the rest of the blood is to be drained
out at the base of the altar of burned offering at the door of the Tent of
meeting. |
4:19 |
And he
is to take off all its fat, burning it on the altar. |
4:20 |
Let
him do with the ox as he did with the ox of the sin-offering; and the priest
will take away their sin and they will have forgiveness. |
4:21 |
Then
let the ox be taken away outside the tent-circle, that it may be burned as
the other ox was burned; it is the sin-offering for all the people. |
4:22 |
If
a ruler does wrong, and in error does any of the things which, by the order
of the Lord his God, are not to be done, causing sin to come on him; |
4:23 |
When
the sin which he has done is made clear to him, let him give for his offering
a goat, a male without any mark. |
4:24 |
And
he is to put his hand on the head of the goat and put it to death in the
place where they put to death the burned offering before the Lord: it is a
sin-offering. |
4:25 |
And
the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and
put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, draining out the rest of
the blood at the base of the altar of burned offering. |
4:26 |
And
all the fat of it is to be burned on the altar like the fat of the
peace-offering; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have
forgiveness. |
4:27 |
And
if any one of the common people does wrong in error, doing any of the things
which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, causing sin to come on
him; |
4:28 |
When
the sin which he has done is made clear to him, then he is to give for his
offering a goat, a female without any mark, for the sin which he has
done. |
4:29 |
And
he is to put his hand on the head of the sin-offering and put it to death in
the place where they put to death the burned offering. |
4:30 |
And
the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger, and put it on the
horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of its blood is to be
drained out at the base of the altar. |
4:31 |
And
let all its fat be taken away, as the fat is taken away from the
peace-offerings, and let it be burned on the altar by the priest for a sweet
smell to the Lord; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have
forgiveness. |
4:32 |
And
if he gives a lamb as his sin-offering, let it be a female without any
mark; |
4:33 |
And
he is to put his hand on the head of the offering and put it to death for a
sin-offering in the place where they put to death the burned offering. |
4:34 |
And
the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and
put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of the
blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; |
4:35 |
And
let him take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away from the lamb of the
peace-offerings; and let it be burned by the priest on the altar among the
offerings made by fire to the Lord: and the priest will take away his sin and
he will have forgiveness. |
5:1 |
And
if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness
of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be
responsible: |
5:2 |
If
anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing,
such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any
unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible: |
5:3 |
Or
if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of
man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be
responsible: |
5:4 |
Or
if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever
he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is
doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these
things. |
5:5 |
And
whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of
his wrongdoing; |
5:6 |
And
take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from
the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take
away his sin. |
5:7 |
And
if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to
the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for
a burned offering. |
5:8 |
And
let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering,
twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two; |
5:9 |
And
he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and
the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a
sin-offering. |
5:10 |
And
the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the
priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness. |
5:11 |
But
if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him
give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal,
for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a
sin-offering. |
5:12 |
And
let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in
his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the
Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering. |
5:13 |
And
the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest
of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal
offering. |
5:14 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
5:15 |
If
anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the
Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock,
without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the
scale of the holy place. |
5:16 |
And
he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to
the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the
priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have
forgiveness. |
5:17 |
And
if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given
orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in
the wrong and he is responsible. |
5:18 |
Let
him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the
flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the
priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have
forgiveness. |
5:19 |
It
is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the
Lord. |
6:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
6:2 |
If
anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour
in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt,
or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour, |
6:3 |
Or
has taken a False oath about the loss of something which he has come across
by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things, |
6:4 |
Causing
sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force
or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he
came on by chance, |
6:5 |
Or
anything about which he took a False oath; he will have to give it all back,
with the addition of a fifth of its value, to him whose property it is, when
he has been judged to be in the wrong. |
6:6 |
Then
let him take to the Lord the offering for his wrongdoing; giving to the
priest for his offering, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of
the value fixed by you: |
6:7 |
And
the priest will take away his sin from before the Lord, and he will have
forgiveness for whatever crime he has done |
6:8 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
6:9 |
Give
orders to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law for the burned
offering: the offering is to be on the fire-wood on the altar all night till
the morning; and the fire of the altar is to be kept burning. |
6:10 |
And
the priest is to put on his linen robes and his linen trousers, and take up
what is over of the offering after it has been burned on the altar, and put
it by the side of the altar. |
6:11 |
Then
having taken off his linen robes and put on other clothing, he is to take it
away into a clean place, outside the tent-circle. |
6:12 |
The
fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it is never to go out; every morning
the priest is to put wood on it, placing the burned offering in order on it,
and there the fat of the peace-offering is to be burned. |
6:13 |
Let
the fire be kept burning on the altar at all times; it is never to go
out. |
6:14 |
And
this is the law for the meal offering: it is to be offered to the Lord before
the altar by the sons of Aaron. |
6:15 |
The
priest is to take in his hand some of the meal of the meal offering and of
the oil of it, and all the perfume on it, burning it on the altar as a sign,
for a sweet smell to the Lord. |
6:16 |
And
whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it
without leaven in a holy place; in the open space of the Tent of meeting they
may take a meal of it. |
6:17 |
It
is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the
offerings made by fire to me; it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and
the offerings for error. |
6:18 |
Every
male among the children of Aaron may have it for food; it is their right for
ever through all your generations, from the offerings made by fire to the
Lord: anyone touching them will be holy. |
6:19 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
6:20 |
This
is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day
when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a
meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening. |
6:21 |
Let
it be made with oil on a flat plate; when it is well mixed and cooked, let it
be broken and taken in as a meal offering, for a sweet smell to the
Lord. |
6:22 |
And
the same offering is to be given by that one of his sons who takes his place
as priest; by an order for ever, all of it is to be burned before the
Lord. |
6:23 |
Every
meal offering offered for the priest is to be completely burned: nothing of
it is to be taken for food. |
6:24 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
6:25 |
Say
to Aaron and his sons, This is the law for the sin-offering: the sin-offering
is to be put to death before the Lord in the same place as the burned
offering; it is most holy. |
6:26 |
The
priest by whom it is offered for sin, is to take it for his food in a holy
place, in the open space of the Tent of meeting. |
6:27 |
Anyone
touching the flesh of it will be holy: and if any of the blood is dropped on
any clothing, the thing on which the blood has been dropped is to be washed
in a holy place. |
6:28 |
But
the vessel of earth in which the flesh was cooked is to be broken; or if a
brass vessel was used, it is to be rubbed clean and washed out with
water. |
6:29 |
Every
male among the priests may take it for his food: it is most holy. |
6:30 |
No
sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take
away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with
fire. |
7:1 |
And
this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. |
7:2 |
They
are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the
burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the
altar. |
7:3 |
And
all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to
be given as an offering. |
7:4 |
And
the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and
the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away: |
7:5 |
They
are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to
the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing. |
7:6 |
Every
male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most
holy. |
7:7 |
As
is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for
them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have
it. |
7:8 |
And
the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of
the burned offering which is offered by him. |
7:9 |
And
every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a
cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered. |
7:10 |
And
every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in
equal measure. |
7:11 |
And
this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord. |
7:12 |
If
any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the
offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered
with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil. |
7:13 |
With
his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a
praise-offering. |
7:14 |
And
let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that
it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the
altar. |
7:15 |
And
the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is
offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning. |
7:16 |
But
if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken
as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day
after: |
7:17 |
But
if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is
to be burned with fire. |
7:18 |
And
if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day,
it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who
gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food. |
7:19 |
And
flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be
burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who
is clean may take it as food: |
7:20 |
But
he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings,
which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people. |
7:21 |
And
anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or
any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the
peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people. |
7:22 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
7:23 |
Say
to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or
goat, for food. |
7:24 |
And
the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is
attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for
food. |
7:25 |
For
anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering
by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people. |
7:26 |
And
you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your
houses. |
7:27 |
Whoever
takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people. |
7:28 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
7:29 |
Say
to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to
give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering: |
7:30 |
He
himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with
the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the
Lord. |
7:31 |
And
the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for
Aaron and his sons. |
7:32 |
And
the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up
out of what is given for your peace-offerings. |
7:33 |
That
man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the
fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part. |
7:34 |
For
the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have
taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given
them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the
children of Israel. |
7:35 |
This
is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to
the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the
Lord; |
7:36 |
Which
the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he
made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to
generation. |
7:37 |
These
are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for
wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of
peace-offerings; |
7:38 |
As
they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord
gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in
the waste land of Sinai. |
8:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
8:2 |
Take
Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of
the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened
bread; |
8:3 |
And
let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting. |
8:4 |
And
Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of
the Tent of meeting. |
8:5 |
And
Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be
done. |
8:6 |
Then
Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water, |
8:7 |
He
put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and
over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place. |
8:8 |
And
he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and
Thummim. |
8:9 |
And
on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate
of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. |
8:10 |
And
Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it,
to make them holy. |
8:11 |
Seven
times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the
washing-basin and its base, to make them holy. |
8:12 |
And
some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy. |
8:13 |
Then
he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands
round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him
orders. |
8:14 |
And
he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on
the head of the ox, |
8:15 |
And
he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the
altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out
the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was
unclean. |
8:16 |
And
he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the
two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar; |
8:17 |
But
the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire
outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. |
8:18 |
And
he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and
his sons put their hands on its head, |
8:19 |
And
he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the
altar. |
8:20 |
And
when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat
were burned by Moses. |
8:21 |
And
the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was
burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it
was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. |
8:22 |
And
he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made
priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the
sheep, |
8:23 |
And
he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point
of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe
of his right foot. |
8:24 |
Then
he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their
right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of
their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar. |
8:25 |
And
he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the
fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg; |
8:26 |
And
out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one
unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and
put them on the fat and on the right leg: |
8:27 |
And
he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving
them for a wave offering before the Lord. |
8:28 |
And
Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the
burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made
by fire to the Lord. |
8:29 |
And
Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was
Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to
Moses. |
8:30 |
And
Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and
put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and
made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him. |
8:31 |
And
Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at
the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food,
together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is
the food of Aaron and his sons. |
8:32 |
And
that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with
fire. |
8:33 |
And
you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days,
till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of
seven days. |
8:34 |
What
has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your
sin. |
8:35 |
And
you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and
night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given
me orders. |
8:36 |
And
Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders
through Moses. |
9:1 |
And
on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men
of Israel; |
9:2 |
And
he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a
burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the
Lord. |
9:3 |
And
say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young
ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned
offering; |
9:4 |
And
an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the
Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the
Lord. |
9:5 |
And
they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all
the people came near, waiting before the Lord. |
9:6 |
And
Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see
the glory of the Lord. |
9:7 |
And
Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and
your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and
make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given
orders. |
9:8 |
So
Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for
himself; |
9:9 |
And
the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and
put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the
altar; |
9:10 |
But
the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were
burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses. |
9:11 |
And
the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle; |
9:12 |
And
he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and
he put some of it on and round the altar; |
9:13 |
And
they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head,
to be burned on the altar. |
9:14 |
And
the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were
burned on the burned offering on the altar. |
9:15 |
And
he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for
the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the
first. |
9:16 |
And
he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way; |
9:17 |
And
he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand
he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the
morning. |
9:18 |
And
he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the
people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and
round the altar; |
9:19 |
And
as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering
the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver; |
9:20 |
They
put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar. |
9:21 |
And
Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering
before the Lord, as Moses gave orders. |
9:22 |
And
Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came
down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the
peace-offerings. |
9:23 |
And
Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the
people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people. |
9:24 |
And
fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and
the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down
on their faces. |
10:1 |
And
Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them
and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given
them orders to do. |
10:2 |
And
fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their
destruction before the Lord. |
10:3 |
Then
Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes
of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the
people. And Aaron said nothing. |
10:4 |
And
Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of
Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from
before the holy place, outside the tent-circle. |
10:5 |
So
they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses
had said. |
10:6 |
And
Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your
hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake
you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among
your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's
fire. |
10:7 |
And
do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to
you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said. |
10:8 |
And the Lord said to
Aaron: |
10:9 |
Take
no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the
Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an
order for ever through all your generations. |
10:10 |
And
make a division between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and
the clean; |
10:11 |
Teaching
the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand
of Moses. |
10:12 |
And
Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still
living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord
made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the
altar, for it is most holy. |
10:13 |
It
is to be for your food in a holy place, because it is your right and your
sons' right, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so am I
ordered. |
10:14 |
And
the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to
take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with
you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the
peace-offerings of the children of Israel. |
10:15 |
Let
them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high,
with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before
the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right
for ever, as the Lord has given orders. |
10:16 |
And
Moses was looking for the goat of the sin-offering, but it was burned; and he
was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, who were still living,
saying, |
10:17 |
Why
did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most
holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on
it, to take away their sin before the Lord. |
10:18 |
See,
its blood was not taken into the holy place: certainly it was right for you
to have taken it as food in the holy place, as I gave orders. |
10:19 |
And
Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their
sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as
these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would
it have been pleasing to the Lord? |
10:20 |
And after hearing
this, Moses was no longer angry. |
11:1 |
And the
Lord said to Moses and Aaron, |
11:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for
food among all the beasts on the earth. |
11:3 |
You
may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and
whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again. |
11:4 |
But,
at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel,
because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it
is unclean to you. |
11:5 |
And the
rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you. |
11:6 |
And
the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to
you. |
11:7 |
And
the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its
food does not come back. |
11:8 |
Their
flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be
touched; they are unclean to you. |
11:9 |
These
you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in
the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and
skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food. |
11:10 |
All
other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are
a disgusting thing to you; |
11:11 |
They
may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you. |
11:12 |
Anything
in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on
its skin is disgusting to you. |
11:13 |
And
among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food:
the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray; |
11:14 |
And the kite
and the falcon, and birds of that sort; |
11:15 |
Every
raven, and birds of that sort; |
11:16 |
And
the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort; |
11:17 |
And the
little owl and the cormorant and the great owl; |
11:18 |
And the water-hen
and the pelican and the vulture; |
11:19 |
The
stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat. |
11:20 |
Every
winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you; |
11:21 |
But
of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on
the earth you may have for food; |
11:22 |
Such
as all the different sorts of locust. |
11:23 |
But
all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to
you. |
11:24 |
By
these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be
unclean till evening: |
11:25 |
Whoever
takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and
will be unclean till evening. |
11:26 |
Every
beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose
food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will
be unclean. |
11:27 |
Any
four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you:
anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till
evening. |
11:28 |
Anyone
who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed
and be unclean till evening. |
11:29 |
And
these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the
weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort; |
11:30 |
And
the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the
chameleon. |
11:31 |
All
these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be
unclean till evening. |
11:32 |
The
dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean;
if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if
it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be
unclean till evening; after that it will be clean. |
11:33 |
And
if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will
be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken. |
11:34 |
Any
food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any
drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean. |
11:35 |
Any
part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it
unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they
are unclean and will be unclean to you. |
11:36 |
But
at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be
clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean. |
11:37 |
If
any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting,
it is clean; |
11:38 |
But
if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it
will be unclean to you. |
11:39 |
And
if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone
touching its dead body will be unclean till evening. |
11:40 |
And
he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing
washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to
have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening. |
11:41 |
Everything
which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used
for food. |
11:42 |
Whatever
goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all
those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are
disgusting. |
11:43 |
You
are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on
the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that
you are not holy to me. |
11:44 |
For
I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I
am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which
goes about flat on the earth. |
11:45 |
For
I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be
you holy, for I am holy. |
11:46 |
This
is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the
waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth: |
11:47 |
Marking
out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for
food from that which may not. |
12:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
12:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male
child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell. |
12:3 |
And on the
eighth day let him be given circumcision. |
12:4 |
And
she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is
stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the
holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended. |
12:5 |
But
if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks,
as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six
days. |
12:6 |
And
when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her
take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first
year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering: |
12:7 |
And
the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her
sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law
for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female. |
12:8 |
And
if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two
young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering,
and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean, |
13:1 |
And the
Lord said to Moses and Aaron, |
13:2 |
If
a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the
disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the
priests, his sons; |
13:3 |
And
if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is
turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of
a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean. |
13:4 |
But
if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the
skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him
shut up for seven days; |
13:5 |
And
the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the
place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the
priest will keep him shut up for seven days more: |
13:6 |
And
the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less
bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is
clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will
be clean. |
13:7 |
But
if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by
the priest, let him go to the priest again: |
13:8 |
And
if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let
the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper. |
13:9 |
When
the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest; |
13:10 |
And
if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is
turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth, |
13:11 |
It
is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he
is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean. |
13:12 |
And
if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far
as the priest is able to see, |
13:13 |
And
if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease,
the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is
clean. |
13:14 |
But
whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean. |
13:15 |
And
when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the
diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper. |
13:16 |
Or
if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come
to the priest, |
13:17 |
And
the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest
will say that he is free from the disease. |
13:18 |
And
if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again, |
13:19 |
And
on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white,
then let the priest see it; |
13:20 |
And
after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on
it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is
the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place. |
13:21 |
But
if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it
is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest
keep him shut up for seven days: |
13:22 |
And
if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it
is a disease. |
13:23 |
But
if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the
mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean. |
13:24 |
Or
if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the
burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white, |
13:25 |
The
priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and
it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the
burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease. |
13:26 |
But
if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the
bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright,
then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days: |
13:27 |
And
the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the
skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's
disease. |
13:28 |
And
if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but
is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he
is clean: it is the mark of the burn. |
13:29 |
And
when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the
chin, |
13:30 |
Then
the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than
the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say
that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in
the hair of his chin. |
13:31 |
And
after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than
the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him
shut up for seven days: |
13:32 |
And
on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased,
and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the
skin, |
13:33 |
Then
his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be
shut up for seven days more: |
13:34 |
And
on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased,
and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is
clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean. |
13:35 |
But
if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean, |
13:36 |
Then
the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without
looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean. |
13:37 |
But
if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it,
the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is
clean. |
13:38 |
And
if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is,
bright white marks, |
13:39 |
Then
the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very
bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is
clean. |
13:40 |
And
if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean. |
13:41 |
And
if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair
there, still he is clean. |
13:42 |
But
if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and
white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his
brow. |
13:43 |
Then
if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on
his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of
a leper; |
13:44 |
He
is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly
unclean: the disease is in his head. |
13:45 |
And
the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with
his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean. |
13:46 |
While
the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by
himself, living outside the tent-circle. |
13:47 |
And
any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease; |
13:48 |
If
it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in
anything made of skin; |
13:49 |
If
there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the
threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease:
let the priest see it. |
13:50 |
And
after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be
shut up for seven days: |
13:51 |
And
he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the
clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the
leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean. |
13:52 |
And
the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which
is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be
burned in the fire. |
13:53 |
And
if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any
part of the material or in the leather, |
13:54 |
Then
the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed,
and to be shut up for seven days more: |
13:55 |
And
if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is
not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the
disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside. |
13:56 |
And
if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let
him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the
material: |
13:57 |
And
if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material
or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the
disease is will have to be burned with fire. |
13:58 |
And
the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if
the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be
clean. |
13:59 |
This
is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material,
in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or
unclean. |
14:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
14:2 |
This
is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken
to the priest; |
14:3 |
And
the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the
priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him, |
14:4 |
Then
the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two
living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop. |
14:5 |
And
the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a
vessel made of earth, over flowing water. |
14:6 |
And
he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop
and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing
water. |
14:7 |
And
shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that
he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country. |
14:8 |
And
he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and
have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the
tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days. |
14:9 |
And
on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin
and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his
clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean. |
14:10 |
And
on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and
one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of
an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. |
14:11 |
And
the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean,
together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting. |
14:12 |
And
the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for
wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the
Lord; |
14:13 |
And
he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the
sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the
sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for
wrongdoing: it is most holy. |
14:14 |
And
let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put
it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the
thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; |
14:15 |
And
take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand; |
14:16 |
And
let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand,
shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord; |
14:17 |
And
of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the
point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb
of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of
the offering for wrongdoing; |
14:18 |
And
the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who
is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the
Lord. |
14:19 |
And
the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to
be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the
burned offering to death. |
14:20 |
And
the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the
altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean. |
14:21 |
And
if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as
an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth
part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a
log of oil; |
14:22 |
And
two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be
for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering. |
14:23 |
And
on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of
meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean. |
14:24 |
And
the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil,
waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; |
14:25 |
And
he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest
will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the
point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of
his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; |
14:26 |
And
the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand, |
14:27 |
Shaking
out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times: |
14:28 |
And
the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the
ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and
on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the
offering for wrongdoing was put; |
14:29 |
And
the rest of the oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of
him who is to be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord. |
14:30 |
And
he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he
is able to get; |
14:31 |
And
of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering,
with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is
to be made clean before the Lord. |
14:32 |
This
is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is
not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean. |
14:33 |
And the
Lord said to Moses and Aaron, |
14:34 |
When
you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your
heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your
heritage, |
14:35 |
Then
let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that
there is a sort of leper's disease in the house. |
14:36 |
And
the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house,
before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not
become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house; |
14:37 |
And
if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and
red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall; |
14:38 |
Then
the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up
for seven days: |
14:39 |
And
the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the
marks on the walls of the house are increased in size; |
14:40 |
Then
the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the
disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the
town: |
14:41 |
And
he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed
off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town: |
14:42 |
And
they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he
will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house. |
14:43 |
And
if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones
and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on, |
14:44 |
Then
the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased
in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is
unclean. |
14:45 |
And
the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the
paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the
town. |
14:46 |
And,
in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up,
will be unclean till evening. |
14:47 |
And
anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing
washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his
clothing washed. |
14:48 |
And
if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the
new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house
is clean, because the disease is gone. |
14:49 |
And
in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and
red thread and hyssop; |
14:50 |
And
put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water; |
14:51 |
And
take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and
put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it
over the house seven times. |
14:52 |
And
he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water
and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red
thread. |
14:53 |
But
he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he
will take away sin from the house and it will be clean. |
14:54 |
This
is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases; |
14:55 |
And for signs
of disease in clothing, or in a house; |
14:56 |
And
for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin; |
14:57 |
To
make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the
disease of the leper. |
15:1 |
And the
Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, |
15:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it
will make him unclean. |
15:3 |
If
the flow goes on or if the part is stopped up, to keep back the flow, he is
still unclean. |
15:4 |
Every
bed on which he has been resting will be unclean, and everything on which he
has been seated will be unclean. |
15:5 |
And
anyone touching his bed is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in
water and be unclean till evening. |
15:6 |
And
he who has been seated on anything on which the unclean man has been seated
is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean
till evening. |
15:7 |
And
anyone touching the flesh of the unclean man is to have his clothing washed
and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. |
15:8 |
And
if liquid from the mouth of the unclean man comes on to him who is clean,
then he is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be
unclean till evening. |
15:9 |
And
any leather seat on a horse on which the unclean man has been seated will be
unclean. |
15:10 |
And
anyone touching anything which was under him will be unclean till the
evening; anyone taking up any of these things is to have his clothing washed
and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. |
15:11 |
And
anyone on whom the unclean man puts his hands, without washing them in water,
is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean
till evening. |
15:12 |
And
any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be
broken and any vessel of wood washed. |
15:13 |
And
when a man who has a flow from his body is made clean from it, he is to take
seven days to make himself clean, washing his clothing and bathing his body
in flowing water, and then he will be clean. |
15:14 |
And
on the eighth day he is to take two doves or two young pigeons and come
before the Lord to the door of the Tent of meeting and give them to the
priest: |
15:15 |
And
they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a
burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on
account of his flow. |
15:16 |
And
if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed
in water and he will be unclean till evening. |
15:17 |
And
any clothing or skin on which the seed comes is to be washed with water and
be unclean till evening. |
15:18 |
And
if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the
two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till
evening. |
15:19 |
And
if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept
separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till
evening. |
15:20 |
And
everything on which she has been resting, while she is kept separate, will be
unclean, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean. |
15:21 |
And
anyone touching her bed will have to have his clothing washed and his body
bathed in water and be unclean till evening. |
15:22 |
And
anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his
clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till
evening. |
15:23 |
Anyone
touching anything on the bed or on the thing on which she has been seated,
will be unclean till evening. |
15:24 |
And
if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will
be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be
unclean. |
15:25 |
And
if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she
generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she
will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal
times. |
15:26 |
Every
bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she
normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated
will be unclean, in the same way. |
15:27 |
And
anyone touching these things will be unclean, and his clothing will have to
be washed and his body bathed in water and he will be unclean till
evening. |
15:28 |
But
when her flow of blood is stopped, after seven days she will be clean. |
15:29 |
And
on the eighth day let her get two doves or two young pigeons and take them to
the priest to the door of the Tent of meeting, |
15:30 |
To
be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned
offering; and the priest will take away her sin before the Lord on account of
her unclean condition. |
15:31 |
In
this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean
conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and
when they make unclean my holy place which is among them. |
15:32 |
This
is the law for the man who has a flow from his body, or whose seed goes from
him so that he is unclean; |
15:33 |
And
for her who has a flow of blood, and for any man or woman who has an unclean
flow, and for him who has sex relations with a woman when she is
unclean. |
16:1 |
And
the Lord said to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron when they
took in strange fire before the Lord and death overtook them; |
16:2 |
The
Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all
times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the
ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on
the cover of the ark. |
16:3 |
Let
Aaron come into the holy place in this way: with an ox for a sin-offering and
a male sheep for a burned offering. |
16:4 |
Let
him put on the holy linen coat, and the linen trousers on his body, and the
linen band round him, and the linen head-dress on his head; for this is holy
clothing, and before he puts them on his body is to be washed with water. |
16:5 |
And
let him take from the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering and
one male sheep for a burned offering. |
16:6 |
And
Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself, to make himself and
his house free from sin. |
16:7 |
And
he is to take the two goats and put them before the Lord at the door of the
Tent of meeting. |
16:8 |
And
Aaron will make selection from the two goats by the decision of the Lord, one
goat for the Lord and one for Azazel. |
16:9 |
And
the goat which is marked out for the Lord, let Aaron give for a
sin-offering. |
16:10 |
But
the goat for Azazel is to be placed living before the Lord, for the taking
away of sin, that it may be sent away for Azazel into the waste land. |
16:11 |
And
Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself and take away sin
from himself and his house, and put to death the ox of the sin-offering which
is for himself. |
16:12 |
And
he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord
and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the
veil; |
16:13 |
And
let him put the perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the ark may be
covered with a cloud of the smoke of the perfume, in order that death may not
overtake him. |
16:14 |
And
let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger
on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times. |
16:15 |
Then
let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take
its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox,
shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark. |
16:16 |
And
let him make the holy place free from whatever is unclean among the children
of Israel and from their wrongdoing in all their sins; and let him do the
same for the Tent of meeting, which has its place among an unclean people. |
16:17 |
And
no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take
away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his
house and all the people of Israel free from sin. |
16:18 |
And
he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from
sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat
and put it on the horns of the altar and round it; |
16:19 |
Shaking
drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and
clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel. |
16:20 |
And
when he has done whatever is necessary to make the holy place and the Tent of
meeting and the altar free from sin, let him put the living goat before the
Lord; |
16:21 |
And
Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a
public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel
and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head
of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting
there, into the waste land. |
16:22 |
And
the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will
send the goat away into the waste land. |
16:23 |
Then
let Aaron come into the Tent of meeting and take off the linen clothing which
he put on when he went into the holy place, and put them down there; |
16:24 |
And
after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing
and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the
people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people. |
16:25 |
And
the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar. |
16:26 |
And
the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and
his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle. |
16:27 |
And
the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was
taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside
the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be
burned with fire. |
16:28 |
And
the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body
bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle. |
16:29 |
And
let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day,
you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who
are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you: |
16:30 |
For
on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be
made free from all your sins before the Lord. |
16:31 |
It
is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure;
it is an order for ever. |
16:32 |
And
the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out
to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away
sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes: |
16:33 |
And
he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from
sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people. |
16:34 |
And
let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of
Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders
to Moses. |
17:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
17:2 |
Say
to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order
which the Lord has given. |
17:3 |
If
any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the
tent-circle; |
17:4 |
And
has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to
the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken
life, and he will be cut off from among his people: |
17:5 |
So
that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of
meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the
open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord. |
17:6 |
And
the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of
meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord. |
17:7 |
And
let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone,
turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all
their generations. |
17:8 |
And
say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a
burned offering or other offering, |
17:9 |
And
does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to
the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people. |
17:10 |
And
if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood
for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off
from among his people. |
17:11 |
For
the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the
altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin
because of the life in it. |
17:12 |
For
this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any
others living with you, may take blood as food. |
17:13 |
And
any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any
beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with
earth. |
17:14 |
For
the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of
Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so
will be cut of. |
17:15 |
And
anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or
anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth,
or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body
bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean. |
17:16 |
But
if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on
him. |
18:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
18:2 |
Say to the
children of Israel, I am the Lord your God. |
18:3 |
You
may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were
living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan
where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules. |
18:4 |
But
you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by
them: I am the Lord your God. |
18:5 |
So
keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to
him: I am the Lord. |
18:6 |
You
may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the
Lord. |
18:7 |
You
may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your
mother, you may not take her. |
18:8 |
And
you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your
father's. |
18:9 |
You
may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother,
wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country. |
18:10 |
You
may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's
daughter, for they are part of yourself; |
18:11 |
Or
your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your
sister. |
18:12 |
You
may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your
father's near relation. |
18:13 |
You
may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your
mother's near relation. |
18:14 |
You
may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is
of your family; |
18:15 |
Or
with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take
her. |
18:16 |
You
may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your
brother's. |
18:17 |
You
may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her
daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame. |
18:18 |
And
you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in
competition with her in her life-time. |
18:19 |
And
you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is
unclean, at her regular time. |
18:20 |
And
you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself
unclean with her. |
18:21 |
And
you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to
Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the
Lord. |
18:22 |
You
may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting
thing. |
18:23 |
And
you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it;
and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act. |
18:24 |
Do
not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations
whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean: |
18:25 |
And
the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of
its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it. |
18:26 |
So
then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting
things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are
living with you: |
18:27 |
(For
all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were
there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;) |
18:28 |
So
that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it
put out the nations which were there before you. |
18:29 |
For
all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among
their people. |
18:30 |
So
then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things
which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the
Lord your God. |
19:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
19:2 |
Say
to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am
holy. |
19:3 |
Let
every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I
am the Lord your God. |
19:4 |
Do
not go after False gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves:
I am the Lord your God. |
19:5 |
And
when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is
pleasing to the Lord. |
19:6 |
Let
it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day
after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire. |
19:7 |
If
any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and
will not be pleasing to the Lord. |
19:8 |
And
as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put
shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people. |
19:9 |
And
when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut
from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth
after the getting in of the grain. |
19:10 |
And
do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the
earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am
the Lord your God. |
19:11 |
Do
not take anyone's property or be False in act or word to another. |
19:12 |
And
do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your
God: I am the Lord. |
19:13 |
Do
not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a
servant's payment from him all night till the morning. |
19:14 |
Do
not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in
the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the
Lord. |
19:15 |
Do
no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or
honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in
righteousness. |
19:16 |
Do
not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of
your neighbour by False witness: I am the Lord. |
19:17 |
Let
there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest
to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil. |
19:18 |
Do
not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard
feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your
neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord. |
19:19 |
Keep
my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort;
do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts
of cloth. |
19:20 |
If
any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be
married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way,
the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she
was not a free woman. |
19:21 |
Let
him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of
meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing. |
19:22 |
And
the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is
offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he
has done. |
19:23 |
And
when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees,
their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years
their fruit may not be used for food. |
19:24 |
And
in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the
Lord. |
19:25 |
But
in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your
food: I am the Lord your God. |
19:26 |
Nothing
may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange
arts, or go in search of signs and wonders. |
19:27 |
The
ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off. |
19:28 |
You
may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks
printed on your bodies: I am the Lord. |
19:29 |
Do
not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear
that the land may become full of shame. |
19:30 |
Keep
my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord. |
19:31 |
Do
not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in
their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God. |
19:32 |
Get
up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and
let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord. |
19:33 |
And
if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make
life hard for him; |
19:34 |
Let
him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for
yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am
the Lord your God. |
19:35 |
Do
not make False decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and
measures. |
19:36 |
Have
True scales, True weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your
God, who took you out of the land of Egypt; |
19:37 |
You
are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord. |
20:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
20:2 |
Again,
say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any
other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to
be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land; |
20:3 |
And
my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his
people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place
unclean, and making my holy name common. |
20:4 |
And
if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his
offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death, |
20:5 |
Then
my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who
do evil with him will be cut off from among their people. |
20:6 |
And
whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing
evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off
from among his people. |
20:7 |
So
make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God. |
20:8 |
And
keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy. |
20:9 |
Every
man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because
of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him. |
20:10 |
And
if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his
neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death. |
20:11 |
And
the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his
father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on
them. |
20:12 |
And
if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put
to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them. |
20:13 |
And
if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting
thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them. |
20:14 |
And
if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let
them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame
among you. |
20:15 |
And
if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the
beast be put to destruction. |
20:16 |
And
if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an
end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them. |
20:17 |
And
if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex
relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be
cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with
his sister, and his sin will be on him. |
20:18 |
And
if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he
has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered,
and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people. |
20:19 |
And
you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's
sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them. |
20:20 |
And
if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put
shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of
their death they will have no children. |
20:21 |
And
if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on
his brother; they will have no children. |
20:22 |
So
then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am
giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again. |
20:23 |
And
do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for
they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against
them. |
20:24 |
But
I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for
your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who
have made you separate from all other peoples. |
20:25 |
So
then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the
clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or
bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as
unclean for you. |
20:26 |
And
you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate
from the nations, so that you may be my people. |
20:27 |
Any
man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be
put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on
them. |
21:1 |
And
the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man
make himself unclean for the dead among his people; |
21:2 |
But
only for his near relations, for his mother or his father, his son or his
daughter, and his brother; |
21:3 |
And
for his sister, a virgin, for she is his near relation and has had no
husband, he may make himself unclean. |
21:4 |
But
let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a
way as to put shame on himself. |
21:5 |
They
are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins
cut short, or make cuts in their flesh. |
21:6 |
Let
them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the
fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them,
and they are to be holy. |
21:7 |
They
may not take as wife a loose or common woman, or one who has been put away by
her husband: for the priest is holy to his God. |
21:8 |
And
he is to be holy in your eyes, for by him the bread of your God is offered;
he is to be holy in your eyes, for I the Lord, who make you holy, am
holy. |
21:9 |
And
if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour
puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire. |
21:10 |
And
he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has
been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go
loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow. |
21:11 |
He
may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his
mother; |
21:12 |
He
may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common;
for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord. |
21:13 |
And
let him take as his wife one who has not had relations with a man. |
21:14 |
A
widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose
behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from
among his people. |
21:15 |
And
he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made
him holy. |
21:16 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
21:17 |
Say
to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let
him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God. |
21:18 |
For
any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not
the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural
growth, |
21:19 |
Or a man
with broken feet or hands, |
21:20 |
Or
one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a
damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged; |
21:21 |
No
man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near
to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near
to make the offerings. |
21:22 |
He may
take of the bread of God, the holy and the most holy; |
21:23 |
But
he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged;
and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them
holy. |
21:24 |
These
are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the
children of Israel. |
22:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
22:2 |
Give
orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy
things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my
holy name common: I am the Lord, |
22:3 |
Say
to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being
unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to
the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord. |
22:4 |
No
man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may
take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which
is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him; |
22:5 |
Or
anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by
whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever; |
22:6 |
Any
person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may
not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water; |
22:7 |
And
when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part
in the holy food, because it is his bread. |
22:8 |
That
which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as
food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord. |
22:9 |
So
then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may
come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it
common: I am the Lord, who make them holy. |
22:10 |
No
outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the
priest's house, or a servant working for payment. |
22:11 |
But
any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of
it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his
bread. |
22:12 |
And
if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take
of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings. |
22:13 |
But
if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no
child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she
may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so. |
22:14 |
And
if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing
back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part. |
22:15 |
And
they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to
the Lord, |
22:16 |
So
causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am
the Lord who make them holy. |
22:17 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
22:18 |
Say
to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the
children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering,
given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering; |
22:19 |
So
that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark,
from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats. |
22:20 |
But
anything which has a mark you may not give; it will not make you pleasing to
the Lord. |
22:21 |
And
whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a
free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the
Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage. |
22:22 |
Anything
blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be
offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar
to the Lord. |
22:23 |
An
ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a
free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath. |
22:24 |
An
animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not
be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your
land. |
22:25 |
And
from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an
offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the
Lord will not be pleased with them. |
22:26 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
22:27 |
When
an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for
seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by
fire to the Lord. |
22:28 |
A
cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day. |
22:29 |
And
when you make an offering of praise to the Lord, make it in a way which is
pleasing to him. |
22:30 |
Let
it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the
morning: I am the Lord. |
22:31 |
So then, keep my
orders and do them: I am the Lord. |
22:32 |
And
do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children
of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy, |
22:33 |
Who
took you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God: I am the
Lord. |
23:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
23:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you
will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts. |
23:3 |
On
six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a
time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord
wherever you may be living. |
23:4 |
These
are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will
keep at their regular times. |
23:5 |
In
the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the
Lord's Passover; |
23:6 |
And
on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for
seven days let your food be unleavened bread. |
23:7 |
On
the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of
field-work. |
23:8 |
And
every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on
the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work. |
23:9 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
23:10 |
Say
to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give
you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits
of the grain to the priest; |
23:11 |
And
let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him;
on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest. |
23:12 |
And
on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the
first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord. |
23:13 |
And
let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal
mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and
the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. |
23:14 |
And
you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on
which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever
through all your generations wherever you are living. |
23:15 |
And
let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when
you give the grain for the wave offering; |
23:16 |
Let
fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to
give a new meal offering to the Lord. |
23:17 |
Take
from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the
best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord. |
23:18 |
And
with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and
one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their
meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by
fire to the Lord. |
23:19 |
And
you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the
first year for peace-offerings. |
23:20 |
And
these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a
wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord
for the priest. |
23:21 |
And
on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for
you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all
your generations wherever you are living. |
23:22 |
And
when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the
edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been
dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another
country: I am the Lord your God. |
23:23 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
23:24 |
Say
to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the
month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by
the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship. |
23:25 |
Do
no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire. |
23:26 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
23:27 |
The
tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it
be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord
an offering made by fire. |
23:28 |
And
on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin,
to make you clean before the Lord your God. |
23:29 |
For
any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut
off from his people. |
23:30 |
And
if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will
send destruction on him from among his people. |
23:31 |
You
may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your
generations wherever you may be living. |
23:32 |
Let
this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all
pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening,
let this Sabbath be kept. |
23:33 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
23:34 |
Say
to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the
feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days. |
23:35 |
On
the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work. |
23:36 |
Every
day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the
eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering
made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no
field-work on that day. |
23:37 |
These
are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship,
for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal
offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its
special day; |
23:38 |
In
addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give
and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord. |
23:39 |
But
on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the
fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the
first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same. |
23:40 |
On
the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and
branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the
Lord for seven days. |
23:41 |
And
let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a
rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be
kept. |
23:42 |
For
seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth
are to make tents their living-places: |
23:43 |
So
that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel
tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am
the Lord your God. |
23:44 |
And
Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts
of the Lord. |
24:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
24:2 |
Give
orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light,
so that a light may be burning at all times, |
24:3 |
Outside
the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning
from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever
through all your generations. |
24:4 |
Let
Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all
times. |
24:5 |
And
take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in
every cake. |
24:6 |
And
put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord. |
24:7 |
And
on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the
bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord. |
24:8 |
Every
Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it
is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever. |
24:9 |
And
it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy
place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a
rule for ever. |
24:10 |
And
a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the
children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents; |
24:11 |
And
the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses;
and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of
Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. |
24:12 |
And
they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the
Lord. |
24:13 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
24:14 |
Take
the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words
were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the
people. |
24:15 |
And
say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on
his head. |
24:16 |
And
he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death;
he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and
one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is
to be put to death. |
24:17 |
And
anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death. |
24:18 |
And
anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for
it: a life for a life. |
24:19 |
And
if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to
him; |
24:20 |
Wound
for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let
it be done to him. |
24:21 |
He
who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man
to death will himself be put to death. |
24:22 |
You
are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for
an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God. |
24:23 |
And
Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who
had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of
Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses. |
25:1 |
And
the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai, |
25:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you,
let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord. |
25:3 |
For
six years put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines
and get in the produce of them; |
25:4 |
But
let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the
Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut. |
25:5 |
That
which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your
uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the
land. |
25:6 |
And
the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your
woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country
who are living among you; |
25:7 |
And
for your cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the
land will be for food. |
25:8 |
And
let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even
the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years; |
25:9 |
Then
let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh
month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your
land. |
25:10 |
And
let this fiftieth year be kept holy, and say publicly that everyone in the
land is free from debt: it is the Jubilee, and every man may go back to his
heritage and to his family. |
25:11 |
Let
this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which
comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken
from the uncared-for vines. |
25:12 |
For
it is the Jubilee, and it is holy to you; your food will be the natural
increase of the field. |
25:13 |
In
this year of Jubilee, let every man go back to his heritage. |
25:14 |
And
in the business of trading goods for money, do no wrong to one another. |
25:15 |
Let
your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of
years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given
her produce. |
25:16 |
If
the number of years is great, the price will be increased, and if the number
of years is small, the price will be less, for it is the produce of a certain
number of years which the man is giving you. |
25:17 |
And
do no wrong, one to another, but let the fear of your God be before you; for
I am the Lord your God. |
25:18 |
So
keep my rules and my decisions and do them, and you will be safe in your
land. |
25:19 |
And
the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be
safe in the land. |
25:20 |
And
if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may
not put in seed, or get in the increase |
25:21 |
Then
I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give
fruit enough for three years. |
25:22 |
And
in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old
stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready. |
25:23 |
No
exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my
guests, living with me for a time. |
25:24 |
Wherever
there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it
back. |
25:25 |
If
your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his
nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given
up. |
25:26 |
And
if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and
has enough money to get it back; |
25:27 |
Then
let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and
make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get
back his property. |
25:28 |
But
if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who
gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go
back to its first owner and he will have his property again. |
25:29 |
And
if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get
it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up. |
25:30 |
And
if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town
will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his
children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee. |
25:31 |
But
houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country;
they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of
Jubilee. |
25:32 |
But
the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any
time. |
25:33 |
And
if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the
town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of
Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among
the children of Israel. |
25:34 |
But
the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for
it is their property for ever. |
25:35 |
And
if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are
to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who
is living among you. |
25:36 |
Take
no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God
before you, and let your brother make a living among you. |
25:37 |
Do
not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which
you give him. |
25:38 |
I
am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the
land of Canaan, that I might be your God. |
25:39 |
And
if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make
use of him like a servant who is your property; |
25:40 |
But
let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of
Jubilee; |
25:41 |
Then
he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his
family and to the property of his fathers. |
25:42 |
For
they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not
become the property of another. |
25:43 |
Do
not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you. |
25:44 |
But
you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from
them you may take men-servants and women-servants. |
25:45 |
And
in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of
other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have
come to birth in your land; and these will be your property. |
25:46 |
And
they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property;
they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your
countrymen, the children of Israel. |
25:47 |
And
if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman,
at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another
nation or to one of his family; |
25:48 |
After
he has given himself he has the right to be made free, for a price, by one of
his brothers, |
25:49 |
Or
his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near
relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free. |
25:50 |
And
let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner
till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to
the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant. |
25:51 |
If
there is still a long time, he will give back, on account of it, a part of
the price which was given for him. |
25:52 |
And
if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master,
and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making
him free. |
25:53 |
And
he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master
is not to be cruel to him before your eyes. |
25:54 |
And
if he is not made free in this way, he will go out in the year of Jubilee, he
and his children with him. |
25:55 |
For
the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took
out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. |
26:1 |
Do
not make images of False gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or
any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord
your God. |
26:2 |
Keep
my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord. |
26:3 |
If you
are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them, |
26:4 |
Then
I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase
and the trees of the field will give their fruit; |
26:5 |
And
the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the
cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will
be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely. |
26:6 |
And
I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one
will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the
land, and no sword of war will go through your land. |
26:7 |
And
you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to
death by your swords. |
26:8 |
Then
five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to
flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your
swords. |
26:9 |
And
I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I
will keep my agreement with you. |
26:10 |
And
old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because
of the new; |
26:11 |
And
I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from
you in disgust. |
26:12 |
And
I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my
people. |
26:13 |
I
am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might
not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made
you go upright. |
26:14 |
But
if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws; |
26:15 |
And
if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my
decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement; |
26:16 |
This
will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and
burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get
no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food. |
26:17 |
And
my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are
against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in
flight when no man comes after you. |
26:18 |
And
if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send
you punishment seven times more for your sins. |
26:19 |
And
the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as
iron and your earth as brass; |
26:20 |
And
your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her
increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit. |
26:21 |
And
if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven
times more punishments on you because of your sins. |
26:22 |
I
will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away
your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will
become small and your roads become waste. |
26:23 |
And
if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against
me; |
26:24 |
Then
I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times
for all your sins. |
26:25 |
And
I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement;
and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and
you will be given up into the hands of your haters. |
26:26 |
When
I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven,
and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never
enough. |
26:27 |
And
if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still, |
26:28 |
Then
my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I
myself, seven times for your sins. |
26:29 |
Then
you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for
food; |
26:30 |
And
I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars,
and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be
turned from you in disgust. |
26:31 |
And
I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will
take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes; |
26:32 |
And
I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it. |
26:33 |
And
I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be
uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and
your towns will be made waste. |
26:34 |
Then
will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are
living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest. |
26:35 |
All
the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had
in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it. |
26:36 |
And
as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their
haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight,
and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes
after them; |
26:37 |
Falling
on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will
give way before your haters. |
26:38 |
And
death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters
will be your destruction. |
26:39 |
And
those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the
land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting
away. |
26:40 |
And
they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when
their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me; |
26:41 |
So
that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if
then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of
their sins, |
26:42 |
Then
I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and
with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land. |
26:43 |
And
the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will
undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my
decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws. |
26:44 |
But
for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them
go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement
with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God. |
26:45 |
And
because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their
fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations,
to be their God: I am the Lord. |
26:46 |
These
are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and
the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses. |
27:1 |
And the Lord said to
Moses, |
27:2 |
Say
to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your
decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord. |
27:3 |
And
you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at
fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place. |
27:4 |
And if it
is a female, the value will be thirty shekels. |
27:5 |
And
if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty
shekels for a male, and ten for a female. |
27:6 |
And
if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male
will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels. |
27:7 |
And
for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels,
and for a female, ten. |
27:8 |
But
if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be
taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is
possible for him to give. |
27:9 |
And
if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man
gives of such to the Lord will be holy. |
27:10 |
It
may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good;
if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy. |
27:11 |
And
if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then
let him take the beast before the priest; |
27:12 |
And
let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the
priest puts on it, so will it be. |
27:13 |
But
if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than
your value. |
27:14 |
And
if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a
value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the
value be fixed. |
27:15 |
And
if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more
than your value, and it will be his. |
27:16 |
And
if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let
your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of
barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver. |
27:17 |
If
he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your
decision. |
27:18 |
But
if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will
be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the
coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your
value. |
27:19 |
And
if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give
a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his. |
27:20 |
But
if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to
another man, it may not be got back again. |
27:21 |
But
the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the
Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the
priest. |
27:22 |
And
if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another,
which is not part of his heritage; |
27:23 |
Then
the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him
by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy
to the Lord. |
27:24 |
In
the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that
is, to him whose heritage it was. |
27:25 |
And
let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty
gerahs to the shekel. |
27:26 |
But
a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are
offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's. |
27:27 |
And
if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it
back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if
it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your
valuing. |
27:28 |
But
nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his
property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given
away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most
holy to the Lord. |
27:29 |
Any
man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be
put to death. |
27:30 |
And
every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees,
is holy to the Lord. |
27:31 |
And
if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given,
let him give a fifth more. |
27:32 |
And
a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the
valuer, will be holy to the Lord. |
27:33 |
He
may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it;
and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not
get them back again. |
27:34 |
These
are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in
Mount Sinai. |
