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