1. And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake
unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD,
ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd,
and of the flock.
3. If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of
the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer
it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation before the LORD.
4. And he shall put his hand upon the head
of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make
atonement for him.
5. And he shall kill the bullock before the
LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and
sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6. And he shall flay the burnt offering, and
cut it into his pieces.
7. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put
fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
8. And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay
the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that
is on the fire which is upon the altar:
9. But his inwards and his legs shall he wash
in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a
burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
the LORD.
10. And if his offering be of the flocks, namely,
of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall
bring it a male without blemish.
11. And he shall kill it on the side of the
altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons,
shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
12. And he shall cut it into his pieces, with
his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on
the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
13. But he shall wash the inwards and the legs
with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon
the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14. And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering
to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves,
or of young pigeons.
15. And the priest shall bring it unto the
altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the
blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
16. And he shall pluck away his crop with his
feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the
place of the ashes:
17. And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof,
but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it
upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt
sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
LORD.
Leviticus - Chapter 2
1. And when any will offer a meat offering
unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall
pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
2. And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the
priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof,
and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and
the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
3. And the remnant of the meat offering shall
be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings
of the LORD made by fire.
4. And if thou bring an oblation of a meat
offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine
flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5. And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken
in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6. Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil
thereon: it is a meat offering.
7. And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken
in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8. And thou shalt bring the meat offering that
is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented
unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
9. And the priest shall take from the meat
offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar:
it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
10. And that which is left of the meat offering
shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the
offerings of the LORD made by fire.
11. No meat offering, which ye shall bring
unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no
leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
12. As for the oblation of the firstfruits,
ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt
on the altar for a sweet savour.
13. And every oblation of thy meat offering
shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt
of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering:
with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
14. And if thou offer a meat offering of thy
firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering
of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even
corn beaten out of full ears.
15. And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay
frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
16. And the priest shall burn the memorial
of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof,
with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire
unto the LORD.
Leviticus - Chapter 3
1. And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace
offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or
female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
2. And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle
the blood upon the altar round about.
3. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the
peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat
that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
4. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is
on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
5. And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar
upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the
fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
LORD.
6. And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace
offering unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall
offer it without blemish.
7. If he offer a lamb for his offering, then
shall he offer it before the LORD.
8. And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about
upon the altar.
9. And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the
peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat
thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the
backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat
that is upon the inwards,
10. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is
upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
11. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar:
it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.
12. And if his offering be a goat, then he
shall offer it before the LORD.
13. And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the
altar round about.
14. And he shall offer thereof his offering,
even an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth
the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
15. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is
upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
16. And the priest shall burn them upon the
altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet
savour: all the fat is the LORD's.
17. It shall be a perpetual statute for your
generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither
fat nor blood.
Leviticus - Chapter 4
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments
of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and
shall do against any of them:
3. If the priest that is anointed do sin according
to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which
he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD
for a sin offering.
4. And he shall bring the bullock unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and
shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock
before the LORD.
5. And the priest that is anointed shall take
of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the
congregation:
6. And the priest shall dip his finger in the
blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD,
before the vail of the sanctuary.
7. And the priest shall put some of the blood
upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD,
which is in the tabernacle of the congregation: and shall pour
all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the
burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
8. And he shall take off from it all the fat
of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the
inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
9. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is
upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10. As it was taken off from the bullock of
the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them
upon the altar of the burnt offering.
11. And the skin of the bullock, and all his
flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and
his dung,
12. Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth
without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured
out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured
out shall he be burnt.
13. And if the whole congregation of Israel
sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the
assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments
of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are
guilty;
14. When the sin, which they have sinned against
it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock
for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
15. And the elders of the congregation shall
lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD:
and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
16. And the priest that is anointed shall bring
of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
17. And the priest shall dip his finger in
some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD,
even before the vail.
18. And he shall put some of the blood upon
the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood
at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
19. And he shall take all his fat from him,
and burn it upon the altar.
20. And he shall do with the bullock as he
did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this:
and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall
be forgiven them.
21. And he shall carry forth the bullock without
the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a
sin offering for the congregation.
22. When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat
through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD
his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
23. Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned,
come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the
goats, a male without blemish:
24. And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt
offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.
25. And the priest shall take of the blood
of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns
of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at
the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
26. And he shall burn all his fat upon the
altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the
priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin,
and it shall be forgiven him.
27. And if any one of the common people sin
through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the
commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to
be done, and be guilty;
28. Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come
to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the
goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
29. And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of
the burnt offering.
30. And the priest shall take of the blood
thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar
of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at
the bottom of the altar.
31. And he shall take away all the fat thereof,
as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings;
and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour
unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him,
and it shall be forgiven him.
32. And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering,
he shall bring it a female without blemish.
33. And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place
where they kill the burnt offering.
34. And the priest shall take of the blood
of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns
of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood
thereof at the bottom of the altar:
35. And he shall take away all the fat thereof,
as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the
peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar,
according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the
priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed,
and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus - Chapter 5
1. And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of
swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it;
if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
2. Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether
it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle,
or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden
from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
3. Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever
uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be
hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
4. Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his
lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall
pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth
of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5. And it shall be, when he shall be guilty
in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned
in that thing:
6. And he shall bring his trespass offering
unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from
the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and
the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7. And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then
he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8. And he shall bring them unto the priest,
who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and
wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
9. And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the
sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood
shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
10. And he shall offer the second for a burnt
offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall
be forgiven him.
11. But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves,
or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his
offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering;
he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense
thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12. Then shall he bring it to the priest, and
the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof,
and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire
unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
13. And the priest shall make an atonement
for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these,
and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's,
as a meat offering.
14. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15. If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through
ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring
for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the
flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel
of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
16. And he shall make amends for the harm that
he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto,
and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement
for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be
forgiven him.
17. And if a soul sin, and commit any of these
things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the
LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear
his iniquity.
18. And he shall bring a ram without blemish
out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering,
unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and
it shall be forgiven him.
19. It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly
trespassed against the LORD.
Leviticus - Chapter 6
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against
the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered
him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence,
or hath deceived his neighbour;
3. Or have found that which was lost, and lieth
concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that
a man doeth, sinning therein:
4. Then it shall be, because he hath sinned,
and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently
away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which
was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely;
he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth
part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth,
in the day of his trespass offering.
6. And he shall bring his trespass offering
unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
7. And the priest shall make an atonement for
him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing
of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
8. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9. Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This
is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because
of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and
the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
10. And the priest shall put on his linen garment,
and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up
the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering
on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11. And he shall put off his garments, and
put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp
unto a clean place.
12. And the fire upon the altar shall be burning
in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood
on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon
it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13. The fire shall ever be burning upon the
altar; it shall never go out.
14. And this is the law of the meat offering:
the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
15. And he shall take of it his handful, of
the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all
the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn
it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it,
unto the LORD.
16. And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and
his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy
place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they
shall eat it.
17. It shall not be baken with leaven. I have
given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire;
it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18. All the males among the children of Aaron
shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations
concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that
toucheth them shall be holy.
19. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20. This is the offering of Aaron and of his
sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he
is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat
offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof
at night.
21. In a pan it shall be made with oil; and
when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces
of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto
the LORD.
22. And the priest of his sons that is anointed
in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the
LORD, it shall be wholly burnt.
23. For every meat offering for the priest
shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
24. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying,
This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt
offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the
LORD: it is most holy.
26. The priest that offereth it for sin shall
eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
27. Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof
shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof
upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled
in the holy place.
28. But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden
shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall
be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
29. All the males among the priests shall eat
thereof: it is most holy.
30. And no sin offering, whereof any of the
blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile
withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in
the fire.
Leviticus - Chapter 7
1. Likewise this is the law of the trespass
offering: it is most holy.
2. In the place where they kill the burnt offering
shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall
he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
3. And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof;
the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
4. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is
on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the
liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
5. And the priest shall burn them upon the
altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass
offering.
6. Every male among the priests shall eat thereof:
it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
7. As the sin offering is, so is the trespass
offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement
therewith shall have it.
8. And the priest that offereth any man's burnt
offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the
burnt offering which he hath offered.
9. And all the meat offering that is baken
in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in
the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.
10. And every meat offering, mingled with oil,
and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11. And this is the law of the sacrifice of
peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.
12. If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then
he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes
mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and
cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
13. Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his
offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of
his peace offerings.
14. And of it he shall offer one out of the
whole oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD, and it shall
be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
15. And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace
offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it
is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16. But if the sacrifice of his offering be
a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day
that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder
of it shall be eaten:
17. But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice
on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
18. And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice
of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall
not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth
it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it
shall bear his iniquity.
19. And the flesh that toucheth any unclean
thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as
for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.
20. But the soul that eateth of the flesh of
the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD,
having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off
from his people.
21. Moreover the soul that shall touch any
unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast,
or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice
of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul
shall be cut off from his people.
22. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
24. And the fat of the beast that dieth of
itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be
used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
25. For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast,
of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even
the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
26. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood,
whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27. Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner
of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
28. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
29. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the
LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of
his peace offerings.
30. His own hands shall bring the offerings
of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he
bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before
the LORD.
31. And the priest shall burn the fat upon
the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
32. And the right shoulder shall ye give unto
the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace
offerings.
33. He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth
the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the
right shoulder for his part.
34. For the wave breast and the heave shoulder
have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices
of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest
and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children
of Israel.
35. This is the portion of the anointing of
Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings
of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to
minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;
36. Which the LORD commanded to be given them
of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by
a statute for ever throughout their generations.
37. This is the law of the burnt offering,
of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass
offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the
peace offerings;
38. Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount
Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to
offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus - Chapter 8
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the
garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering,
and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
3. And gather thou all the congregation together
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him;
and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation.
5. And Moses said unto the congregation, This
is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
6. And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and
washed them with water.
7. And he put upon him the coat, and girded
him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the
ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the
ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
8. And he put the breastplate upon him: also
he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
9. And he put the mitre upon his head; also
upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden
plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
10. And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed
the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
11. And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar
seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both
the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
12. And he poured of the anointing oil upon
Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13. And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put
coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets
upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
14. And he brought the bullock for the sin
offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head
of the bullock for the sin offering.
15. And he slew it; and Moses took the blood,
and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger,
and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of
the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16. And he took all the fat that was upon the
inwards, and caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their
fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
17. But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh,
and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
18. And he brought the ram for the burnt offering:
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
19. And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the
blood upon the altar round about.
20. And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses
burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
21. And he washed the inwards and the legs
in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was
a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by
fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22. And he brought the other ram, the ram of
consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the
head of the ram.
23. And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood
of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon
the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right
foot.
24. And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses
put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the
thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their
right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round
about.
25. And he took the fat, and the rump, and
all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the
liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
26. And out of the basket of unleavened bread,
that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake
of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon
the right shoulder:
27. And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and
upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before
the LORD.
28. And Moses took them from off their hands,
and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were
consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire
unto the LORD.
29. And Moses took the breast, and waved it
for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration
it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30. And Moses took of the anointing oil, and
of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron,
and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments
with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons,
and his sons' garments with him.
31. And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons,
Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations,
as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32. And that which remaineth of the flesh and
of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
33. And ye shall not go out of the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days
of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate
you.
34. As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath
commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
35. Therefore shall ye abide at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and
keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
36. So Aaron and his sons did all things which
the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus - Chapter 9
1. And it came to pass on the eighth day, that
Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
2. And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young
calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without
blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
3. And unto the children of Israel thou shalt
speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering;
and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish,
for a burnt offering;
4. Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings,
to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with
oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
5. And they brought that which Moses commanded
before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation
drew near and stood before the LORD.
6. And Moses said, This is the thing which
the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD
shall appear unto you.
7. And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar,
and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an
atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering
of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
8. Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and
slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9. And the sons of Aaron brought the blood
unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon
the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom
of the altar:
10. But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul
above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
11. And the flesh and the hide he burnt with
fire without the camp.
12. And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's
sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about
upon the altar.
13. And they presented the burnt offering unto
him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them
upon the altar.
14. And he did wash the inwards and the legs,
and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15. And he brought the people's offering, and
took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and
slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16. And he brought the burnt offering, and
offered it according to the manner.
17. And he brought the meat offering, and took
an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt
sacrifice of the morning.
18. He slew also the bullock and the ram for
a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and
Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled
upon the altar round about,
19. And the fat of the bullock and of the ram,
the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys,
and the caul above the liver:
20. And they put the fat upon the breasts,
and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21. And the breasts and the right shoulder
Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22. And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the
people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin
offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle
of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and
the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24. And there came a fire out from before the
LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat:
which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their
faces.
Leviticus - Chapter 10
1. And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron,
took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put
incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which
he commanded them not.
2. And there went out fire from the LORD,
and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it
that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that
come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.
And Aaron held his peace.
4. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan,
the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come
near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the
camp.
5. So they went near, and carried them in
their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
6. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar
and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend
your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people:
but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning
which the LORD hath kindled.
7. And ye shall not go out from the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing
oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word
of Moses.
8. And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
9. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou,
nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations:
10. And that ye may put difference between
holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
11. And that ye may teach the children of
Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by
the hand of Moses.
12. And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar
and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering
that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and
eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
13. And ye shall eat it in the holy place,
because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of
the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14. And the wave breast and heave shoulder
shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters
with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given
out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15. The heave shoulder and the wave breast
shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to
wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine,
and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath
commanded.
16. And Moses diligently sought the goat of
the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry
with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive,
saying,
17. Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering
in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given
it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement
for them before the LORD?
18. Behold, the blood of it was not brought
in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the
holy place, as I commanded.
19. And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this
day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering
before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had
eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in
the sight of the LORD?
20. And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus - Chapter 11
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron,
saying unto them,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that
are on the earth.
3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted,
and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of
them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the
camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof;
he is unclean unto you.
5. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud,
but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud,
but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof,
and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean
to you.
8. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their
carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
9. These shall ye eat of all that are in the
waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the
seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10. And all that have not fins and scales
in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters,
and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be
an abomination unto you:
11. They shall be even an abomination unto
you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their
carcases in abomination.
12. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in
the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13. And these are they which ye shall have
in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they
are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14. And the vulture, and the kite after his
kind;
15. Every raven after his kind;
16. And the owl, and the night hawk, and the
cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17. And the little owl, and the cormorant,
and the great owl,
18. And the swan, and the pelican, and the
gier eagle,
19. And the stork, the heron after her kind,
and the lapwing, and the bat.
20. All fowls that creep, going upon all four,
shall be an abomination unto you.
21. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping
thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet,
to leap withal upon the earth;
22. Even these of them ye may eat; the locust
after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle
after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
23. But all other flying creeping things,
which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24. And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever
toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25. And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase
of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26. The carcases of every beast which divideth
the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean
unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27. And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among
all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto
you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
28. And he that beareth the carcase of them
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are
unclean unto you.
29. These also shall be unclean unto you among
the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and
the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
30. And the ferret, and the chameleon, and
the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31. These are unclean to you among all that
creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be
unclean until the even.
32. And upon whatsoever any of them, when
they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any
vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel
it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and
it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
33. And every earthen vessel, whereinto any
of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye
shall break it.
34. Of all meat which may be eaten, that on
which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may
be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35. And every thing whereupon any part of
their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or
ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean,
and shall be unclean unto you.
36. Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein
there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth
their carcase shall be unclean.
37. And if any part of their carcase fall
upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
38. But if any water be put upon the seed,
and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean
unto you.
39. And if any beast, of which ye may eat,
die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until
the even.
40. And he that eateth of the carcase of it
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also
that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even.
41. And every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42. Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever
goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping
things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they
are an abomination.
43. Ye shall not make yourselves abominable
with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves
unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
44. For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore
sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither
shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
45. For I am the LORD that bringeth you up
out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be
holy, for I am holy.
46. This is the law of the beasts, and of
the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters,
and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47. To make a difference between the unclean
and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the
beast that may not be eaten.
Leviticus - Chapter 12
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she
shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation
for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
3. And in the eighth day the flesh of his
foreskin shall be circumcised.
4. And she shall then continue in the blood
of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed
thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying
be fulfilled.
5. But if she bear a maid child, then she
shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall
continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
6. And when the days of her purifying are
fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb
of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or
a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, unto the priest:
7. Who shall offer it before the LORD, and
make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the
issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a
male or a female.
8. And if she be not able to bring a lamb,
then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one
for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and
the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Leviticus - Chapter 13
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron,
saying,
2. When a man shall have in the skin of his
flesh a rising, a scab, or a bright spot, and it be in the skin
of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought
unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
3. And the priest shall look on the plague
in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned
white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his
flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on
him, and pronounce him unclean.
4. If the bright spot be white in the skin
of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the
hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up
him that hath the plague seven days:
5. And the priest shall look on him the seventh
day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and
the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut
him up seven days more:
6. And the priest shall look on him again
the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark,
and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce
him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and
be clean.
7. But if the scab spread much abroad in the
skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing,
he shall be seen of the priest again:
8. And if the priest see that, behold, the
scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it is a leprosy.
9. When the plague of leprosy is in a man,
then he shall be brought unto the priest;
10. And the priest shall see him: and, behold,
if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair
white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
11. It is an old leprosy in the skin of his
flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not
shut him up: for he is unclean.
12. And if a leprosy break out abroad in the
skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the
plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest
looketh;
13. Then the priest shall consider: and, behold,
if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce
him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is
clean.
14. But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he
shall be unclean.
15. And the priest shall see the raw flesh,
and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean:
it is a leprosy.
16. Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be
changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
17. And the priest shall see him: and, behold,
if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce
him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
18. The flesh also, in which, even in the
skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
19. And in the place of the boil there be
a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish,
and it be shewed to the priest;
20. And if, when the priest seeth it, behold,
it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned
white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague
of leprosy broken out of the boil.
21. But if the priest look on it, and, behold,
there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the
skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up
seven days:
22. And if it spread much abroad in the skin,
then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
23. But if the bright spot stay in his place,
and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce
him clean.
24. Or if there be any flesh, in the skin
whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth
have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
25. Then the priest shall look upon it: and,
behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it
be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of
the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is the plague of leprosy.
26. But if the priest look on it, and, behold,
there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower
than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall
shut him up seven days:
27. And the priest shall look upon him the
seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then
the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
28. And if the bright spot stay in his place,
and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising
of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for
it is an inflammation of the burning.
29. If a man or woman have a plague upon the
head or the beard;
30. Then the priest shall see the plague:
and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there
be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
31. And if the priest look on the plague of
the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin,
and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut
up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
32. And in the seventh day the priest shall
look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and
there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper
than the skin;
33. He shall be shaven, but the scall shall
he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall
seven days more:
34. And in the seventh day the priest shall
look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in
the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest
shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and
be clean.
35. But if the scall spread much in the skin
after his cleansing;
36. Then the priest shall look on him: and,
behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not
seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
37. But if the scall be in his sight at a
stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall
is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38. If a man also or a woman have in the skin
of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
39. Then the priest shall look: and, behold,
if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white;
it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
40. And the man whose hair is fallen off his
head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
41. And he that hath his hair fallen off from
the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet
is he clean.
42. And if there be in the bald head, or bald
forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his
bald head, or his bald forehead.
43. Then the priest shall look upon it: and,
behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald
head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the
skin of the flesh;
44. He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the
priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his
head.
45. And the leper in whom the plague is, his
clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering
upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
46. All the days wherein the plague shall
be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone;
without the camp shall his habitation be.
47. The garment also that the plague of leprosy
is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
48. Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of
linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made
of skin;
49. And if the plague be greenish or reddish
in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the
woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and
shall be shewed unto the priest:
50. And the priest shall look upon the plague,
and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:
51. And he shall look on the plague on the
seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in
the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is
made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
52. He shall therefore burn that garment,
whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of
skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it
shall be burnt in the fire.
53. And if the priest shall look, and, behold,
the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or
in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
54. Then the priest shall command that they
wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up
seven days more:
55. And the priest shall look on the plague,
after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed
his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou
shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare
within or without.
56. And if the priest look, and, behold, the
plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall
rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the
warp, or out of the woof:
57. And if it appear still in the garment,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it
is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague
is with fire.
58. And the garment, either warp, or woof,
or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the
plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second
time, and shall be clean.
59. This is the law of the plague of leprosy
in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof,
or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce
it unclean.
Leviticus - Chapter 14
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. This shall be the law of the leper in the
day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
3. And the priest shall go forth out of the
camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of
leprosy be healed in the leper;
4. Then shall the priest command to take for
him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar
wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5. And the priest shall command that one of
the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
6. As for the living bird, he shall take it,
and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall
dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was
killed over the running water:
7. And he shall sprinkle upon him that is
to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce
him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
8. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash
his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water,
that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp,
and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
9. But it shall be on the seventh day, that
he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his
eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash
his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall
be clean.
10. And on the eighth day he shall take two
he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without
blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11. And the priest that maketh him clean shall
present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before
the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
12. And the priest shall take one he lamb,
and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and
wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
13. And he shall slay the lamb in the place
where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in
the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is
the trespass offering: it is most holy:
14. And the priest shall take some of the
blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon
the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon
the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right
foot:
15. And the priest shall take some of the
log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
16. And the priest shall dip his right finger
in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the
oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:
17. And of the rest of the oil that is in
his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of
him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand,
and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the
trespass offering:
18. And the remnant of the oil that is in
the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to
be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before
the LORD.
19. And the priest shall offer the sin offering,
and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his
uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
20. And the priest shall offer the burnt offering
and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make
an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21. And if he be poor, and cannot get so much;
then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved,
to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour
mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
22. And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering,
and the other a burnt offering.
23. And he shall bring them on the eighth
day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, before the LORD.
24. And the priest shall take the lamb of
the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall
wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
25. And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass
offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass
offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that
is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon
the great toe of his right foot:
26. And the priest shall pour of the oil into
the palm of his own left hand:
27. And the priest shall sprinkle with his
right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times
before the LORD:
28. And the priest shall put of the oil that
is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to
be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the
great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the
trespass offering:
29. And the rest of the oil that is in the
priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be
cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
30. And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves,
or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
31. Even such as he is able to get, the one
for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the
meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32. This is the law of him in whom is the
plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth
to his cleansing.
33. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying,
34. When ye be come into the land of Canaan,
which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of
leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
35. And he that owneth the house shall come
and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were
a plague in the house:
36. Then the priest shall command that they
empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague,
that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward
the priest shall go in to see the house:
37. And he shall look on the plague, and,
behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow
strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the
wall;
38. Then the priest shall go out of the house
to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39. And the priest shall come again the seventh
day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the
walls of the house;
40. Then the priest shall command that they
take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast
them into an unclean place without the city:
41. And he shall cause the house to be scraped
within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they
scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
42. And they shall take other stones, and
put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other
morter, and shall plaister the house.
43. And if the plague come again, and break
out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and
after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
44. Then the priest shall come and look, and,
behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting
leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
45. And he shall break down the house, the
stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the
house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean
place.
46. Moreover he that goeth into the house
all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47. And he that lieth in the house shall wash
his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48. And if the priest shall come in, and look
upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house,
after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce
the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49. And he shall take to cleanse the house
two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50. And he shall kill the one of the birds
in an earthen vessel over running water:
51. And he shall take the cedar wood, and
the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them
in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and
sprinkle the house seven times:
52. And he shall cleanse the house with the
blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living
bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the
scarlet:
53. But he shall let go the living bird out
of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the
house: and it shall be clean.
54. This is the law for all manner of plague
of leprosy, and scall,
55. And for the leprosy of a garment, and
of a house,
56. And for a rising, and for a scab, and
for a bright spot:
57. To teach when it is unclean, and when
it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
Leviticus - Chapter 15
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron,
saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh,
because of his issue he is unclean.
3. And this shall be his uncleanness in his
issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped
from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4. Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the
issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall
be unclean.
5. And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
the even.
6. And he that sitteth on any thing whereon
he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
7. And he that toucheth the flesh of him that
hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
8. And if he that hath the issue spit upon
him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
9. And what saddle soever he rideth upon that
hath the issue shall be unclean.
10. And whosoever toucheth any thing that
was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth
any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
11. And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the
issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even.
12. And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth
which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood
shall be rinsed in water.
13. And when he that hath an issue is cleansed
of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his
cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running
water, and shall be clean.
14. And on the eighth day he shall take to
him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the
LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and
give them unto the priest:
15. And the priest shall offer them, the one
for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the
priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his
issue.
16. And if any man's seed of copulation go
out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be
unclean until the even.
17. And every garment, and every skin, whereon
is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be
unclean until the even.
18. The woman also with whom man shall lie
with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water,
and be unclean until the even.
19. And if a woman have an issue, and her
issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days:
and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
20. And every thing that she lieth upon in
her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth
upon shall be unclean.
21. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
the even.
22. And whosoever toucheth any thing that
she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
23. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing
whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean
until the even.
24. And if any man lie with her at all, and
her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all
the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
25. And if a woman have an issue of her blood
many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond
the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness
shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
26. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days
of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and
whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness
of her separation.
27. And whosoever toucheth those things shall
be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
28. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then
she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall
be clean.
29. And on the eighth day she shall take unto
her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the
priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
30. And the priest shall offer the one for
a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest
shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue
of her uncleanness.
31. Thus shall ye separate the children of
Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness,
when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
32. This is the law of him that hath an issue,
and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33. And of her that is sick of her flowers,
and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and
of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
Leviticus - Chapter 16
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses after the
death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD,
and died;
2. And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto
Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy
place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the
ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the
mercy seat.
3. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place:
with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt
offering.
4. He shall put on the holy linen coat, and
he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be
girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he
be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his
flesh in water, and so put them on.
5. And he shall take of the congregation of
the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering,
and one ram for a burnt offering.
6. And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the
sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for
himself, and for his house.
7. And he shall take the two goats, and present
them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two
goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which
the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
10. But the goat, on which the lot fell to
be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to
make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat
into the wilderness.
11. And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the
sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement
for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of
the sin offering which is for himself:
12. And he shall take a censer full of burning
coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands
full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
13. And he shall put the incense upon the
fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover
the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
14. And he shall take of the blood of the
bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward;
and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with
his finger seven times.
15. Then shall he kill the goat of the sin
offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the
vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock,
and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
16. And he shall make an atonement for the
holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel,
and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so
shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth
among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17. And there shall be no man in the tabernacle
of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the
holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for
himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of
Israel.
18. And he shall go out unto the altar that
is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take
of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and
put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
19. And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon
it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it
from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20. And when he hath made an end of reconciling
the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
altar, he shall bring the live goat:
21. And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon
the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities
of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all
their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall
send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
22. And the goat shall bear upon him all their
iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the
goat in the wilderness.
23. And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle
of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which
he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them
there:
24. And he shall wash his flesh with water
in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and
offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people,
and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
25. And the fat of the sin offering shall
he burn upon the altar.
26. And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat
shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward
come into the camp.
27. And the bullock for the sin offering,
and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in
to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without
the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their
flesh, and their dung.
28. And he that burneth them shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall
come into the camp.
29. And this shall be a statute for ever unto
you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month,
ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it
be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among
you:
30. For on that day shall the priest make
an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from
all your sins before the LORD.
31. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you,
and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
32. And the priest, whom he shall anoint,
and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office
in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put
on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
33. And he shall make an atonement for the
holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle
of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement
for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
34. And this shall be an everlasting statute
unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for
all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded
Moses.
Leviticus - Chapter 17
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and
unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the
thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
3. What man soever there be of the house of
Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or
that killeth it out of the camp,
4. And bringeth it not unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the
LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed
unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off
from among his people:
5. To the end that the children of Israel
may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field,
even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer
them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
6. And the priest shall sprinkle the blood
upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
7. And they shall no more offer their sacrifices
unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall
be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
8. And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever
man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which
sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering of sacrifice,
9. And bringeth it not unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even
that man shall be cut off from among his people.
10. And whatsoever man there be of the house
of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth
any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul
that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement
for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul.
12. Therefore I said unto the children of
Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger
that sojourneth among you eat blood.
13. And whatsoever man there be of the children
of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth
and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even
pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood
of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children
of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the
life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall
be cut off.
15. And every soul that eateth that which
died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it
be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
the even: then shall he be clean.
16. But if he wash them not, nor bathe his
flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus - Chapter 18
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3. After the doings of the land of Egypt,
wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the
land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither
shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4. Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine
ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and
my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the
LORD.
6. None of you shall approach to any that
is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7. The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness
of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou
shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8. The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt
thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9. The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter
of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born
at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10. The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or
of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not
uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11. The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter,
begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover
her nakedness.
12. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she
is thine aunt.
15. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover
her nakedness.
16. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter,
or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they
are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18. Neither shalt thou take a wife to her
sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other
in her life time.
19. Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman
to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her
uncleanness.
20. Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with
thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21. And thou shalt not let any of thy seed
pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the
name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with
womankind: it is abomination.
23. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast
to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before
a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these
things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast
out before you:
25. And the land is defiled: therefore I do
visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth
out her inhabitants.
26. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and
my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations;
neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth
among you:
27. (For all these abominations have the men
of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28. That the land spue not you out also, when
ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29. For whosoever shall commit any of these
abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off
from among their people.
30. Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance,
that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which
were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein:
I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus - Chapter 19
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I
the LORD your God am holy.
3. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and
his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves
molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5. And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings
unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
6. It shall be eaten the same day ye offer
it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day,
it shall be burnt in the fire.
7. And if it be eaten at all on the third
day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
8. Therefore every one that eateth it shall
bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing
of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
9. And when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt
thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
10. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard,
neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt
leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely,
neither lie one to another.
12. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely,
neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13. Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour,
neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide
with thee all night until the morning.
14. Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put
a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am
the LORD.
15. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment:
thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the
person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy
neighbour.
16. Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer
among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of
thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine
heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer
sin upon him.
18. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge
against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself: I am the LORD.
19. Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt
not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not
sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled
of linen and woollen come upon thee.
20. And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman,
that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed,
nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be
put to death, because she was not free.
21. And he shall bring his trespass offering
unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
even a ram for a trespass offering.
22. And the priest shall make an atonement
for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD
for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done
shall be forgiven him.
23. And when ye shall come into the land,
and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall
count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it
be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
24. But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof
shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
25. And in the fifth year shall ye eat of
the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof:
I am the LORD your God.
26. Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood:
neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27. Ye shall not round the corners of your
heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your
flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
29. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause
her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land
become full of wickedness.
30. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence
my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31. Regard not them that have familiar spirits,
neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD
your God.
32. Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head,
and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the
LORD.
33. And if a stranger sojourn with thee in
your land, ye shall not vex him.
34. But the stranger that dwelleth with you
shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him
as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the
LORD your God.
35. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment,
in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah,
and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought
you out of the land of Egypt.
37. Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes,
and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus - Chapter 20
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Again, thou shalt say to the children of
Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers
that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech;
he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall
stone him with stones.
3. And I will set my face against that man,
and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given
of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane
my holy name.
4. And if the people of the land do any ways
hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto
Molech, and kill him not:
5. Then I will set my face against that man,
and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go
a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among
their people.
6. And the soul that turneth after such as
have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after
them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut
him off from among his people.
7. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye
holy: for I am the LORD your God.
8. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them:
I am the LORD which sanctify you.
9. For every one that curseth his father or
his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father
or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10. And the man that committeth adultery with
another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his
neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely
be put to death.
11. And the man that lieth with his father's
wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
12. And if a man lie with his daughter in
law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought
confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
13. If a man also lie with mankind, as he
lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
14. And if a man take a wife and her mother,
it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they;
that there be no wickedness among you.
15. And if a man lie with a beast, he shall
surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
16. And if a woman approach unto any beast,
and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17. And if a man shall take his sister, his
father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness,
and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall
be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his
sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18. And if a man shall lie with a woman having
her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered
her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood:
and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19. And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness
of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth
his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20. And if a man shall lie with his uncle's
wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear
their sin; they shall die childless.
21. And if a man shall take his brother's
wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's
nakedness; they shall be childless.
22. Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes,
and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring
you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
23. And ye shall not walk in the manners of
the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all
these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24. But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit
their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land
that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which
have separated you from other people.
25. Ye shall therefore put difference between
clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean:
and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl,
or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground,
which I have separated from you as unclean.
26. And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the
LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye
should be mine.
27. A man also or woman that hath a familiar
spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they
shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus - Chapter 21
1. And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto
the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall
none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2. But for his kin, that is near unto him,
that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son,
and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3. And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh
unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4. But he shall not defile himself, being
a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5. They shall not make baldness upon their
head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard,
nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6. They shall be holy unto their God, and
not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD
made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore
they shall be holy.
7. They shall not take a wife that is a whore,
or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her
husband: for he is holy unto his God.
8. Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for
he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee:
for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.
9. And the daughter of any priest, if she
profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father:
she shall be burnt with fire.
10. And he that is the high priest among his
brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that
is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head,
nor rend his clothes;
11. Neither shall he go in to any dead body,
nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12. Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary,
nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing
oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
13. And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14. A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane,
or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin
of his own people to wife.
15. Neither shall he profane his seed among
his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
16. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17. Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he
be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let
him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish,
he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath
a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19. Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20. Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath
a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones
broken;
21. No man that hath a blemish of the seed
of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of
the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh
to offer the bread of his God.
22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both
of the most holy, and of the holy.
23. Only he shall not go in unto the vail,
nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that
he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
24. And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his
sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Leviticus - Chapter 22
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that
they separate themselves from the holy things of the children
of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things
which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
3. Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your
seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things,
which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his
uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence:
I am the LORD.
4. What man soever of the seed of Aaron is
a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy
things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that
is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
5. Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing,
whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6. The soul which hath touched any such shall
be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless
he wash his flesh with water.
7. And when the sun is down, he shall be clean,
and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his
food.
8. That which dieth of itself, or is torn
with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am
the LORD.
9. They shall therefore keep mine ordinance,
lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane
it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
10. There shall no stranger eat of the holy
thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not
eat of the holy thing.
11. But if the priest buy any soul with his
money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they
shall eat of his meat.
12. If the priest's daughter also be married
unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13. But if the priest's daughter be a widow,
or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's
house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but
there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14. And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly,
then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give
it unto the priest with the holy thing.
15. And they shall not profane the holy things
of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
16. Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of
trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify
them.
17. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18. Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and
unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever
he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that
will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill
offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
19. Ye shall offer at your own will a male
without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20. But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall
ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21. And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of
peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill
offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted;
there shall be no blemish therein.
22. Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having
a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the
LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto
the LORD.
23. Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any
thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer
for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24. Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that
which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall
ye make any offering thereof in your land.
25. Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye
offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption
is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted
for you.
26. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27. When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat,
is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and
from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an
offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28. And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall
not kill it and her young both in one day.
29. And when ye will offer a sacrifice of
thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.
30. On the same day it shall be eaten up;
ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
31. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments,
and do them: I am the LORD.
32. Neither shall ye profane my holy name;
but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the
LORD which hallow you,
33. That brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus - Chapter 23
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3. Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no
work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4. These are the feasts of the LORD, even
holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5. In the fourteenth day of the first month
at even is the LORD's passover.
6. And on the fifteenth day of the same month
is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye
must eat unleavened bread.
7. In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8. But ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation:
ye shall do no servile work therein.
9. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10. Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto
you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a
sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11. And he shall wave the sheaf before the
LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath
the priest shall wave it.
12. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave
the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt
offering unto the LORD.
13. And the meat offering thereof shall be
two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made
by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering
thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched
corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought
an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
15. And ye shall count unto you from the morrow
after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the
wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh
sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat
offering unto the LORD.
17. Ye shall bring out of your habitations
two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour;
they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto
the LORD.
18. And ye shall offer with the bread seven
lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock,
and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD,
with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering
made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
19. Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the
goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for
a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20. And the priest shall wave them with the
bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD,
with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21. And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame
day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do
no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all
your dwellings throughout your generations.
22. And when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field
when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy
harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger:
I am the LORD your God.
23. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye
have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but
ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh
month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation
unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD.
28. And ye shall do no work in that same day:
for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before
the LORD your God.
29. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not
be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among
his people.
30. And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any
work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among
his people.
31. Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall
be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
32. It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest,
and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month
at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of
tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
35. On the first day shall be an holy convocation:
ye shall do no servile work therein.
36. Seven days ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile
work therein.
37. These are the feasts of the LORD, which
ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering,
a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38. Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside
your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill
offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
39. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh
month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall
keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall
be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40. And ye shall take you on the first day
the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs
of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice
before the LORD your God seven days.
41. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the
LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in
your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42. Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all
that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43. That your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought
them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
44. And Moses declared unto the children of
Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Leviticus - Chapter 24
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Command the children of Israel, that they
bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause
the lamps to burn continually.
3. Without the vail of the testimony, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the
evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall
be a statute for ever in your generations.
4. He shall order the lamps upon the pure
candlestick before the LORD continually.
5. And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake
twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6. And thou shalt set them in two rows, six
on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
7. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon
each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an
offering made by fire unto the LORD
8. Every sabbath he shall set it in order
before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of
Israel by an everlasting covenant.
9. And it shall be Aaron's and his sons';
and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto
him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
10. And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose
father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel:
and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove
together in the camp;
11. And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed
the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses:
(and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of
the tribe of Dan:)
12. And they put him in ward, that the mind
of the LORD might be shewed them.
13. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14. Bring forth him that hath cursed without
the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his
head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15. And thou shalt speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
16. And he that blasphemeth the name of the
LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation
shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is
born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall
be put to death.
17. And he that killeth any man shall surely
be put to death.
18. And he that killeth a beast shall make
it good; beast for beast.
19. And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour;
as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20. Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be
done to him again.
21. And he that killeth a beast, he shall
restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well
for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the
LORD your God.
23. And Moses spake to the children of Israel,
that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp,
and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as
the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus - Chapter 25
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount
Sinai, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then
shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
3. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and
six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit
thereof;
4. But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath
of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither
sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5. That which groweth of its own accord of
thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of
thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6. And the sabbath of the land shall be meat
for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and
for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with
thee,
7. And for thy cattle, and for the beast that
are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8. And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of
years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the
seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
9. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the
jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the
day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all
your land.
10. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year,
and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every
man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his
family.
11. A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto
you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself
in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
12. For it is the jubile; it shall be holy
unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13. In the year of this jubile ye shall return
every man unto his possession.
14. And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour,
or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress
one another:
15. According to the number of years after
the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto
the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
16. According to the multitude of years thou
shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness
of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to
the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
17. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another;
but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
18. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and
keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land
in safety.
19. And the land shall yield her fruit, and
he shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat
the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our
increase:
21. Then I will command my blessing upon you
in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and
eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come
in ye shall eat of the old store.
23. The land shall not be sold for ever: for
the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24. And in all the land of your possession
ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath
sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to
redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
26. And if the man have none to redeem it,
and himself be able to redeem it;
27. Then let him count the years of the sale
thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold
it; that he may return unto his possession.
28. But if he be not able to restore it to
him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that
hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it
shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29. And if a man sell a dwelling house in
a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after
it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
30. And if it be not redeemed within the space
of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall
be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations:
it shall not go out in the jubile.
31. But the houses of the villages which have
no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the
country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
32. Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites,
and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites
redeem at any time.
33. And if a man purchase of the Levites,
then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession,
shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities
of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34. But the field of the suburbs of their
cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35. And if thy brother be waxen poor, and
fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though
he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase:
but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon
usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38. I am the LORD your God, which brought
you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan,
and to be your God.
39. And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee
be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him
to serve as a bondservant:
40. But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner,
he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
41. And then shall he depart from thee, both
he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family,
and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42. For they are my servants, which I brought
forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43. Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour;
but shalt fear thy God.
44. Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which
thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about
you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45. Moreover of the children of the strangers
that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their
families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and
they shall be your possession.
46. And ye shall take them as an inheritance
for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession;
they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the
children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
47. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich
by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell
himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock
of the stranger's family:
48. After that he is sold he may be redeemed
again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
49. Either his uncle, or his uncle's son,
may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family
may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50. And he shall reckon with him that bought
him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile:
and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of
years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with
him.
51. If there be yet many years behind, according
unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out
of the money that he was bought for.
52. And if there remain but few years unto
the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according
unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
53. And as a yearly hired servant shall he
be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him
in thy sight.
54. And if he be not redeemed in these years,
then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children
with him.
55. For unto me the children of Israel are
servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the
land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus - Chapter 26
1. Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image,
neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up
any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am
the LORD your God.
2. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence
my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my
commandments, and do them;
4. Then I will give you rain in due season,
and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field
shall yield their fruit.
5. And your threshing shall reach unto the
vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and
ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6. And I will give peace in the land, and
ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will
rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through
your land.
7. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they
shall fall before you by the sword.
8. And five of you shall chase an hundred,
and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your
enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9. For I will have respect unto you, and make
you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with
you.
10. And ye shall eat old store, and bring
forth the old because of the new.
11. And I will set my tabernacle among you:
and my soul shall not abhor you.
12. And I will walk among you, and will be
your God, and ye shall be my people.
13. I am the LORD your God, which brought
you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their
bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you
go upright.
14. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and
will not do all these commandments;
15. And if ye shall despise my statutes, or
if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my
commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16. I also will do this unto you; I will even
appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that
shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall
sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17. And I will set my face against you, and
ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall
reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken
unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19. And I will break the pride of your power;
and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
20. And your strength shall be spent in vain:
for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the
trees of the land yield their fruits.
21. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will
not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon
you according to your sins.
22. I will also send wild beasts among you,
which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle,
and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate.
23. And if ye will not be reformed by me by
these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
24. Then will I also walk contrary unto you,
and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25. And I will bring a sword upon you, that
shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered
together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among
you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26. And when I have broken the staff of your
bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall
deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and
not be satisfied.
27. And if ye will not for all this hearken
unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28. Then I will walk contrary unto you also
in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your
sins.
29. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons,
and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30. And I will destroy your high places, and
cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases
of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31. And I will make your cities waste, and
bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the
savour of your sweet odours.
32. And I will bring the land into desolation:
and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33. And I will scatter you among the heathen,
and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate,
and your cities waste.
34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths,
as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land;
even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35. As long as it lieth desolate it shall
rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt
upon it.
36. And upon them that are left alive of you
I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their
enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and
they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall
when none pursueth.
37. And they shall fall one upon another,
as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have
no power to stand before your enemies.
38. And ye shall perish among the heathen,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39. And they that are left of you shall pine
away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the
iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40. If they shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they
trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary
unto me;
41. And that I also have walked contrary unto
them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if
then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept
of the punishment of their iniquity:
42. Then will I remember my covenant with
Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with
Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
43. The land also shall be left of them, and
shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them:
and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because,
even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul
abhorred my statutes.
44. And yet for all that, when they be in
the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither
will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant
with them: for I am the LORD their God.
45. But I will for their sakes remember the
covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land
of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God:
I am the LORD.
46. These are the statutes and judgments and
laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel
in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus - Chapter 27
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons
shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
3. And thy estimation shall be of the male
from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation
shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4. And if it be a female, then thy estimation
shall be thirty shekels.
5. And if it be from five years old even unto
twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty
shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6. And if it be from a month old even unto
five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five
shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be
three shekels of silver.
7. And if it be from sixty years old and above;
if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels,
and for the female ten shekels.
8. But if he be poorer than thy estimation,
then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest
shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the
priest value him.
9. And if it be a beast, whereof men bring
an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto
the LORD shall be holy.
10. He shall not alter it, nor change it,
a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all
change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall
be holy.
11. And if it be any unclean beast, of which
they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present
the beast before the priest:
12. And the priest shall value it, whether
it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so
shall it be.
13. But if he will at all redeem it, then
he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
14. And when a man shall sanctify his house
to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether
it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it
stand.
15. And if he that sanctified it will redeem
his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy
estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
16. And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD
some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall
be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall
be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17. If he sanctify his field from the year
of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18. But if he sanctify his field after the
jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according
to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and
it shall be abated from thy estimation.
19. And if he that sanctified the field will
in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the
money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
20. And if he will not redeem the field, or
if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed
any more.
21. But the field, when it goeth out in the
jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession
thereof shall be the priest's.
22. And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a
field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his
possession;
23. Then the priest shall reckon unto him
the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile:
and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing
unto the LORD.
24. In the year of the jubile the field shall
return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the
possession of the land did belong.
25. And all thy estimations shall be according
to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26. Only the firstling of the beasts, which
should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether
it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.
27. And if it be of an unclean beast, then
he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add
a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it
shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28. Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that
a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of
man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold
or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
29. None devoted, which shall be devoted of
men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
30. And all the tithe of the land, whether
of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's:
it is holy unto the LORD.
31. And if a man will at all redeem ought
of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32. And concerning the tithe of the herd,
or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the
tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
33. He shall not search whether it be good
or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all,
then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not
be redeemed.
34. These are the commandments, which the
LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
