Leviticus | Tanakh

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

1 And when any will offer a voluntary offering to YHVH, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon; 2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests, and he shall take his handful of the flour, and of the oil, with all the frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to YHVH; 3 And the remnant of the voluntary offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. 4 And if you bring an oblation of a voluntary offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5 And if your oblation be a voluntary offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. 6 You shall part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon; it is a voluntary offering. 7 And if your oblation be a voluntary offering baked in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you shall bring the voluntary offering that is made of these things to YHVH, and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 9 And the priest shall take from the voluntary offering a memorial, and shall burn it upon the altar; it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to YHVH. 10 And that which is left of the voluntary offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. 11 No voluntary offering, which you shall bring to YHVH, shall be made with leaven; for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of YHVH made by fire. 12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to YHVH; but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour. 13 And every oblation of your voluntary offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of your Elohim to be lacking from your voluntary offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt. 14 And if you offer a voluntary offering of your firstfruits to YHVH, you shall offer for the voluntary offering of your firstfruits green ears of grain dried by the fire, even grain beaten out of full ears. 15 And you shall put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon; it is a voluntary offering. 16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten grain, and part of the oil, with all the frankincense; it is an offering made by fire to YHVH.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing; He shall be brought to the priest; 3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; 4 Then shall the priest command to take for him who is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop; 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water; 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; 7 And he shall sprinkle upon him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. 8 And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean, and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall linger abroad out of his tent seven days. 9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a voluntary offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. 11 And the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before YHVH, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; 12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before YHVH; 13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place; for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering; it is most holy; 14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot; 15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; 16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before YHVH; 17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering; 18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make an atonement for him before YHVH. 19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; 20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the voluntary offering upon the altar, and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a voluntary offering, and a log of oil; 22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. 23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before YHVH. 24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before YHVH; 25 and he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot; 26 and the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; 27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before YHVH; 28 and the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering; 29 and the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before YHVH. 30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 31 even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the voluntary offering, and the priest shall make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed before YHVH. 32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertains to his cleansing. 33 And YHVH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying: 34 When you be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 35 and he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying: It seems to Me there is as it were a plague in the house; 36 then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean, and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house; 37 and he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall. 38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days; 39 and the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house. 40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city, 41 and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place, 42 and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house. 43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered. 44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean. 45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46 Moreover he who goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47 And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes. 48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop, 50 and he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water, 51 and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet. 53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. 54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55 and for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean; this is the law of leprosy.

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

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

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

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

1 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, you shall be holy, for I Adonai your Elohim, am Holy. 3 You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep My sabbaths: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 4 Turn not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to YHVH, you shall offer it at your own will. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day, and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 8 Therefore every one who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of YHVH, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 11 You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 12 And you shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your Elohim: I Am YHVH! 13 You shall not defraud your neighbour, neither rob him; the wages of him who is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shall fear your Elohim: I Am YHVH! 15 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty; but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbour. 16 You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people; neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbour: I Am YHVH! 17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 18 You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I Am YHVH! 19 You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind; you shall not sow your field with mingled seed; neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon you. 20 And whosoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass offering to YHVH, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. 22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before YHVH for his sin which he has done, and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him. 23 And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit as uncircumcised; three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten of. 24 But in the fourth year all the fruit shall be holy to praise YHVH. 25 And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 26 You shall not eat any thing with the blood; neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times. 27 You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall you mar the corners of your beard. 28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I Am YHVH! 29 Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. 30 You shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I Am YHVH! 31 Regard not those who have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 32 You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear your Elohim: I Am YHVH! 33 And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not vex him. 34 But the stranger who dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 35 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measurement, in weight, or in volume. 36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall you have; I Am Adonai your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore you shall observe all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them: I Am YHVH!

1 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Again, you shall say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 And I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile My sanctuary, and to profane My holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and kill him not; 5 Then I will set My face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. 6 And the soul that turns after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy: I Am Adonai your Elohim! 8 And you shall keep My statutes, and do them: I am YHVH who sanctifies you! 9 For every one who curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him. 10 And the man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And the man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness; they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. 15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall slay the beast. 16 And if a woman approach to any beast, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the beast; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her menstruation, and shall uncover her nakedness; he has discovered her issue, and she has uncovered the issue of her blood, and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he uncovers his near kin; they shall bear their iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. 22 You shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them; that the land, where I bring you to dwell, spew you not out. 23 And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you; for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. 24 But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey; I Am Adonai your Elohim, who has separated you from other people. 25 You shall therefore put a difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean birds and clean, and you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26 And you shall be holy to Me; for I YHVH am Holy, and have severed you from other people, that you should be Mine. 27 A man also or woman who has a familiar spirit, or who is a wizard, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.

1 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and say to them, there shall none be defiled for the dead among his people. 2 But for his kin, who is near to him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 3 and for his sister a virgin, who is nigh to him, who has had no husband; for her may he be defiled. 4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6 They shall be holy to their Elohim, and not profane the name of their Elohim; for the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and the food of their Elohim, they do offer; therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not take a wife who is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to his Elohim. 8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the food of your Elohim; he shall be holy to you; for I YHVH, who sanctifies you, am holy. 9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father; she shall be burnt with fire. 10 And he who is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his Elohim; for the crown of the anointing oil of his Elohim is upon him: I Am YHVH! 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people; for I YHVH do sanctify him. 16 And YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 17 Speak to Aaron, saying, whosoever he be of your seed in their generations who has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the food of his Elohim. 18 For whatsoever man he be who has a blemish, he shall not approach; a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 19 or a man who is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20 or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or who has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken. 21 No man who has a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of YHVH made by fire; he has a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the food of his Elohim. 22 He shall eat the food of his Elohim, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23 Only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come nigh to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he not profane My sanctuaries; for I YHVH do sanctify them. 24 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

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

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

1 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening to the morning before YHVH continually; it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. 4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before YHVH continually. 5 And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes; two tenth deals shall be in one cake. 6 And you shall set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before YHVH. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to YHVH. 8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before YHVH continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9 It shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of YHVH made by fire by a perpetual statute. 10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel, and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11 and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of YHVH, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses; his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; 12 and they put him in ward, that the mind of YHVH might be shown them. 13 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 14 Bring forth him who has cursed outside the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: Whosoever curses his Elohim shall bear his sin. 16 And he who blasphemes the name of YHVH, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as he who is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name of YHVH, shall be put to death. 17 And he who kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18 And he who kills a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. 19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him; 20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. 21 And he who kills a beast, he shall restore it, and he who kills a man, he shall be put to death. 22 You shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country, for I Am Adonai your Elohim! 23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as YHVH commanded Moses.

1 YHVH spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying: 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to YHVH. 3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit; 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for YHVH; you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. 5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed; for it is a year of rest to the land. 6 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger who sojourns with you, 7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase be food. 8 And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants; it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family. 11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you; you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed. 12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat the increase out of the field. 13 In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbour, or purchase anything of your neighbour's hand, you shall not oppress one another; 15 According to the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy of your neighbour, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to you; 16 According to the multitude of years you shall increase the price, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the fruits. 17 You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your Elohim; for I Am Adonai your Elohim! 18 Wherefore you shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety. 20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase; 21 Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22 And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until the fruits come in you shall eat of the old store. 23 The land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If your brother become poor, and has sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then he shall redeem that which his brother sold. 26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; 27 Then let him count the years of the sale, and restore the excess to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession. 28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the year of jubilee, and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession. 29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him who bought it throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee. 32 Notwithstanding, the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession. 35 And if your brother become poor, and fallen in decay with you, then you shall relieve him; yes, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you. 36 Take no usury of him, or increase, but fear your Elohim; that your brother may live with you. 37 You shall not give him your money upon usury, nor lend him your victuals for increase. 38 I Am Adonai your Elohim, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your Elohim. 39 And if your brother who dwells by you becomes poor, and be sold to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant, 40 but as a hired servant, and as a sojourner; he shall be with you and shall serve you to the year of jubilee. 41 Then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers he shall return. 42 For they are My servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43 You shall not rule over him with rigour, but shall fear your Elohim. 44 Both your bondmen and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen who are round about you; of them you may buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers who do sojourn among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they fathered in your land, and they shall be your possession. 46 And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with rigour. 47 And if a sojourner or stranger grow rich by you, and your brother who dwells by him grow poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family; 48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him; 49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is nigh of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. 50 And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee, and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him. 51 If there be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 52 And if there remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him, and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in your sight. 54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him. 55 For to Me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I Am Adonai your Elohim!

1 You shall make no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I Am Adonai your Elohim! 2 You shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I Am YHVH! 3 If you walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time, and you shall eat your food to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid, and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish My Covenant with you. 10 And you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 11 And I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your Elohim, and you shall be My people. 13 I Am Adonai your Elohim, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 14 But if you will not hearken to Me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 And if you shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that you will not do all My commandments, but that you break My Covenant; 16 I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart, and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set My face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies; they who hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you. 18 And if you will not yet for all this hearken to Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass; 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21 And if you walk contrary to Me, and will not hearken to Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. 23 And if you will not be reformed by these things, but will walk contrary to Me; 24 Then I will also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall punish for My Covenant, and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight, and you shall eat, and not be satisfied. 27 And if you will not for all this hearken to Me, but walk contrary to Me; 28 Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat. 30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32 And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be amazed at it. 33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it. 36 And upon those who are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues, and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And they who are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary to Me; 41 And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity; 42 Then I will remember My Covenant with Jacob, and also My Covenant with Isaac, and also My Covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them, and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because they despised My judgments, and because their soul abhorred My statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My Covenant with them; for I am YHVH their Elohim. 45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their Elohim; I Am YHVH! 46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which YHVH made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

1 YHVH spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, when a man shall make a separate vow, the persons shall be for YHVH by your estimation of the value. 3 And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if it be from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver. 7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability who vowed shall the priest value him. 9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering to YHVH, all that any man gives of such to YHVH shall be holy. 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good, and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the substitute shall be holy. 11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to YHVH, then he shall present the beast before the priest; 12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as you value it, who are the priest, so shall it be. 13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part to your estimation. 14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to YHVH, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 15 And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his. 16 And if a man shall sanctify to YHVH some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to its harvest; a homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand. 18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your estimation. 19 And if he who sanctified the field will in any way redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be made good to him. 20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 21 But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to YHVH, as a field devoted; the priest shall possess it. 22 And if a man sanctify to YHVH a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; 23 Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation, even to the year of the jubilee, and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to YHVH. 24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. 25 And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be Elohim's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep, it is Elohim's. 27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation. 28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to YHVH of all that he has, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to YHVH. 29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Elohim's; it is holy to YHVH. 31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part. 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to YHVH. 33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and the change shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 34 These are the Commandments, which YHVH commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
