  AND the Lord called to Moshe, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, If any man of you bring an offering to the Lord, of the cattle shall you bring your offering, of the herd, and of the flock.
  If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.
  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.
  And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aharon’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the Tent of Meeting.
  And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces.
  And the sons of Aharon the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
  and the priests, Aharon’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:
  but its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.
  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.
  And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aharon’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood round about on the altar.
  And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:
  but he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.
  And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
  And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
  and he shall remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
  and he shall rend it by its wings, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.
  
  
  
  And when any will offer a meal offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense upon it:
  and he shall bring it to Aharon’s sons the priests: and he shall take from it his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial part of it on the altar, to be an offering made by fire, a sweet savour to the Lord:
  and the remnant of the meal offering shall be Aharon’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
  And if thou bring a sacrifice of meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
  And if thy sacrifice be a meal offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
  Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil on it: it is a meal offering.
  And if thy sacrifice be a meal offering baked in a frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
  And thou shalt bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the Lord: and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar.
  And the priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial part, and shall burn it on the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.
  And that which is left of the meal offering shall be Aharon’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
  No meal offering, which you shall bring to the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire.
  As for the offerings of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to the Lord: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
  And thy every meal offering shalt thou season with salt; nor shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal offering: with all thy offerings thou shalt offer salt.
  And if thou offer a meal offering of thy firstfruits to the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meal offering of thy firstfruits ears of corn dried by the fire, corn beaten out of fresh ears.
  And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay on frankincense: it is a meal offering.
  And the priest shall burn the memorial part of it, of its beaten corn, and of its oil, with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
  
  
  
  And if his offering 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.
  And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and Aharon’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on the altar round about.
  And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
  and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage of the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
  And Aharon’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet savour to the Lord.
  And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
  If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the Lord.
  And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and Aharon’s sons shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.
  And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord; its fat, and the whole fat tail, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
  and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks; and the appendage of the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
  And the priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the Lord.
  And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord.
  And he shall lay his hand upon its head, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and the sons of Aharon shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.
  And he shall offer his offering from it, an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
  and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage of the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
  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.
  It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat nor blood.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el 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:
  if the priest that is anointed do sin to bring guiltiness on the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bullock without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.
  And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the Lord.
  And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting:
  and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary.
  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 Tent of Meeting: 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 Tent of Meeting.
  And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
  and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage of the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
  as it was taken off from the bullock of the peace offering: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
  And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inwards, and its dung,
  even the whole bullock shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt.
  And if the whole congregation of Yisra᾽el sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and have incurred guilt;
  when the sin, which they have sinned, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.
  And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bullock before the Lord: and the bullock shall be killed before the Lord.
  And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock’s blood to the Tent of Meeting:
  and the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, before the veil.
  And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the Tent of Meeting, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
  And he shall lift off all its fat, and burn it on the altar.
  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 atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
  And he shall carry the bullock outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
  When a ruler has sinned, and done something through ignorance against any one of the commandments of the Lord his God concerning things which should not be done, and has incurred guilt;
  or if his sin, wherein he has sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
  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.
  And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out its blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
  And he shall burn all its fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering: and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
  And if anyone of the common people sin through ignorance, by doing something against any one of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
  or if his sin, which he has sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.
  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.
  And the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all its blood at the bottom of the altar.
  And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
  And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
  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.
  And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all its blood at the bottom of the altar:
  and he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, upon the pyres of the Lord: and the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
  
  
  
  And if a person sin, and hear the voice of adjuration, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
  Or if a person touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him, so that he be unclean, and guilty:
  or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it be with which a man shall be defiled, and it be hid from him; and he come to know of it, and be guilty:
  or if a person swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
  And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing:
  and he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
  And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he has committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the Lord; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
  And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
  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.
  And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the prescribed order: and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
  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 efa of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense upon it: for it is a sin offering.
  Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, the memorial part of it, and burn it on the altar, upon the pyres of the Lord: it is a sin offering.
  And the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin that he has sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and it shall be the priest’s, like the meal offering.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  If a person commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his guilt to the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, by value (two) silver shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering.
  And he shall make amends for the wrong that he has done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part to it, and give it to the priest: and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
  And if a person sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he know it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
  And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to the valuation, for a guilt offering, to the priest: and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and knew it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
  It is a guilt offering: he has certainly trespassed against the Lord.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  If a person sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and lie to his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in a loan, or in a thing taken away by violence, or have wronged his neighbour;
  or have found that which was lost, and have lied concerning it, and have sworn falsely; in any of all these that a man does, sinning in that:
  then it shall be, because he has sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he has deceitfully acquired, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
  or all that about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs, in the day of his trespass offering;
  and he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to the value of a guilt offering, to the priest:
  and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord: and it shall be forgiven him for anything of all that he has done wherein to incur guilt.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Command Aharon and his sons, saying, This is the Tora of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, which shall be burning upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning in it.
  And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put on his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
  And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
  And the fire upon the altar shall be kept 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 on it the fat of the peace offerings.
  The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
  And this is the Tora of the meal offering: the sons of Aharon shall offer it before the Lord, before the altar.
  And he shall lift from it his handful, of the flour of the meal offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial part of it, to the Lord.
  And the remainder of it shall Aharon and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the Tent of Meeting they shall eat it.
  It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and the guilt offering.
  All the males among the children of Aharon shall eat of it. It shall be a fixed portion throughout your generations of the offerings of the Lord made by fire: everyone that touches them shall be holy.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  This is the offering of Aharon and of his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an efa of fine flour for a meal offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half of it at night.
  In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is well soaked, thou shalt bring it in: and the baked pieces of the meal offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour to the Lord.
  And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his place shall offer it: it is a statute for ever to the Lord; it shall be wholly burnt.
  For every meal offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying, This is the Tora 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.
  The priest that offers it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Tent of Meeting.
  Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of its blood upon any garment, thou shalt wash that on which it was sprinkled in the holy place.
  But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken: and if it be boiled in a brass pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
  All the males among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy.
  And no sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to be sprinkled in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
  
  
  
  And this is the Tora of the guilt offering: it is most holy.
  In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the guilt offering: and its blood shall be sprinkled round about upon the altar.
  And he shall offer of it all the fat; the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inwards,
  and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the appendage above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
  and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is a guilt offering.
  Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
  As the sin offering is, so is the guilt offering: there is one Tora for them: the priest that makes atonement therewith shall have it.
  And the priest that offers any man’s burnt offering, the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.
  And all the meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offers it.
  And every meal offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aharon have, one as well as another.
  And this is the Tora of the peace offerings, which he shall offer to the Lord.
  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, well soaked.
  Together with loaves of leavened bread shall he make his offering, these to be added to his peace offering of thanksgiving.
  And of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to the Lord, and it shall be the priest’s that sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
  And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
  But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten on the same day that he offers his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
  but that which remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
  And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it: it shall be an abomination, and the person that eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
  And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that are clean shall eat of it.
  But the person that eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain to the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
  Moreover the person that shall touch any unclean thing, such as the uncleanness of man, of any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain to the Lord, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, You shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
  And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but you shall by no means eat of it.
  For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his people.
  Moreover you shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
  Whoever it be that eats any manner of blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, He that offers his peace offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord of the sacrifice of his peace offering.
  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.
  And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aharon’s and his sons’.
  And the right shoulder shall you give to the priest for a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
  He among the sons of Aharon, that offers the blood of the peace offering, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
  For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Yisra᾽el from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aharon the priest and to his sons their fixed portion for ever from among the children of Yisra᾽el.
  This is the portion of the anointing of Aharon, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, on the day when he presented them to minister to the Lord in the priest’s office;
  which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children of Yisra᾽el, on the day that he anointed them, as a fixed portion for ever throughout their generations.
  This is the Tora of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the guilt offering, and of the consecration offering, and of the sacrifice of the peace offering;
  which the Lord commanded Moshe in Mount Sinay, on the day that he commanded the children of  Yisra᾽el to present their offerings to the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinay.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Take Aharon 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;
  and gather all the congregation together to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
  And Moshe did as the Lord commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
  And Moshe said to the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done.
  And Moshe brought Aharon and his sons, and washed them with water.
  And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the efod upon him, and he girded him with the artistically wrought girdle of the efod, and with it he bound it to him.
  And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Tummim.
  And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, upon its forepart, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  And Moshe took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them.
  And he sprinkled of it upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, both the laver and its pedestal, to sanctify them.
  And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aharon’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
  And Moshe brought Aharon’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put turbans upon them; as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aharon and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
  And he slaughtered it; and Moshe 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 atonement upon it.
  And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moshe burned it on the altar.
  But the bullock, and its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp; as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aharon and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
  And he killed it; and Moshe sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
  And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moshe burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
  And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moshe burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aharon and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
  And he slaughtered it; and Moshe took of its blood, and put it upon the tip of Aharon’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
  And he brought Aharon’s sons, and Moshe 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 Moshe sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
  And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the appendage of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
  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:
  and he put all upon Aharon’s hands, and upon his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.
  And Moshe took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering; they were a consecration offering for a sweet savour: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord.
  And Moshe took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord: for of the ram of consecration it was Moshe’s part; as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  And Moshe took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aharon, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aharon, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
  And Moshe said to Aharon and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of the bread of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aharon and his sons shall eat it.
  And that which remains of the flesh and of the bread shall you burn with fire.
  And you shall not go out of the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
  As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.
  And you shall abide at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, that you die not: for so I am commanded.
  So Aharon and his sons did all the things which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moshe.
  
  
  
  And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moshe called Aharon and his sons, and the elders of Yisra᾽el:
  and he said to Aharon, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
  And to the children of Yisra᾽el thou shalt speak, saying, Take 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;
  also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meal offering mingled with oil: for today the Lord will appear to you.
  And they brought that which Moshe commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
  And Moshe said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do: and the glory of the Lord shall appear to you.
  And Moshe said to Aharon, Go to the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the Lord commanded.
  Aharon therefore went to the altar, and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
  And the sons of Aharon brought the blood to him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
  but the fat, and the kidneys, and the appendage above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire outside the camp.
  And he slaughtered the burnt offering; and Aharon’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
  And they presented the burnt offering to him, with its pieces, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
  And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
  And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat which was the sin offering for the people, and slaughtered it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
  And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the prescribed manner.
  And he brought the meal offering, and took a handful of it, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
  He also slaughtered the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offering, which was for the people: and Aharon’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar round about.
  And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the inwards, and the kidneys, and the appendage of the liver:
  and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
  and the breasts and the right shoulder Aharon waved for a wave offering before the Lord; as Moshe commanded.
  And Aharon lifted up his hand towards the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
  And Moshe and Aharon went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
  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.
  
  
  
  And Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aharon, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.
  And a fire went out from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
  Then Moshe said to Aharon, This is it that which the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aharon held his peace.
  And Moshe called Misha᾽el and Elżafan, the sons of ῾Uzzi᾽el the uncle of Aharon, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
  So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moshe had said.
  And Moshe said to Aharon, and to El῾azar and to Itamar, his sons, Let the hair of your heads not grow long, neither rend your clothes; lest you die, and lest anger come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Yisra᾽el bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled.
  And you shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting lest you die: for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moshe.
  And the Lord spoke to Aharon, saying,
  Do not drink wine or strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when you enter the Tent of Meeting, lest you die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
  and that you may differentiate between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
  and that you may teach the children of Yisra᾽el all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moshe.
  And Moshe spoke to Aharon, and to El῾azar and to Itamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
  and you 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.
  And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall you eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are thy due, and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Yisra᾽el.
  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, as a portion for ever; as the Lord commanded.
  And Moshe diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with El῾azar and Itamar, the sons of Aharon that were left alive, saying.
  Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?
  Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: you should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
  And Aharon said to Moshe, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord; and such things have befallen me that if I had eaten the sin offering today, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?
  And when Moshe heard that, he was content.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying to them,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
  Whatever parts the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that shall you eat.
  Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud, but does not part the hoof: he is unclean to you.
  And the coney, because he chews the cud, but does not part the hoof; he is unclean to you.
  And the hare, because he chews the cud, but does not part the hoof; he is unclean to you.
  And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he chews not the cud; he is unclean to you.
  Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.
  These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall you eat.
  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 are abominable to you:
  and they shall be abominable to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but their carcasses you shall abominate.
  Whatever has no fins or scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you.
  And these are they which you shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are abominable: the eagle, and the bearded vulture and the black vulture.
  And the kite, and the buzzard after its kind;
  every raven after its kind;
  and the owl, and the kestrel, and the gull, and the sparrow hawk after its kind.
  And the little owl, and the fish fowl, and the great owl,
  and the barn owl, and the jackdaw, and the gier eagle.
  And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
  All swarming things that fly, going upon four, shall be an abomination to you.
  Yet these may you eat of every flying creeping thing that goes upon four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;
  these of them you may eat; the locust after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind, and the ĥargol after its kind, and the ĥagav after its kind.
  But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.
  And for these you shall be unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until evening.
  And whoever bears aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening.
  The carcasses of every beast which parts the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are unclean to you: everyone that touches them shall be unclean.
  And whatever goes upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until evening.
  And he that bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening: they are unclean to you.
  These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the rat, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind.
  And the gecko, and the monitor, and the lizard, and the skink, and the chameleon.
  These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until evening.
  And whatever any of them falls upon, when they are dead, shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it be, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until evening, then it shall be clean.
  And every earthen vessel, into which any of them fall, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and you shall break it.
  Of all food which may be eaten, that on which water comes shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every vessel shall be unclean.
  And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
  Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is a collection of water, shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
  And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
  But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall on it, it shall be unclean to you.
  And if any beast, of which you may eat, die; he that touches its carcass shall be unclean until evening.
  And he that eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening: he also that bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening.
  And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth shall be held abominable; it shall not be eaten.
  Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes upon four, or whatever has many feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
  You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.
  For I am the Lord your God: you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
  For I am the Lord that brings you up out of the land of Miżrayim, to be your God: you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
  This is the Tora of the beasts, and of the birds, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth:
  to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her menstrual sickness shall she be unclean.
  And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
  And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying for thirty three days: she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come in to the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
  But if she bear a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her menstruation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty six days.
  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, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest:
  who shall offer it before the Lord, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the Tora for her that has born a male or a female.
  And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe and Aharon, saying
  When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh the plague of żara῾at; then he shall be brought to Aharon the priest, or to one of his sons the priests:
  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 be deeper in appearance than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of żara῾at: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
  If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and be not deeper in appearance than the skin, and its hair be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that has the plague seven days:
  and the priest shall look on him on 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:
  and the priest shall look on him again on the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dimmer, 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.
  But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again:
  and if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is żara῾at.
  When the plague of żara῾at is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
  and the priest shall see him: and, behold, if a white swelling be in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
  it is an old żara῾at in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
  And if the żara῾at breaks out abroad in the skin, and the żara῾at covers all the skin of him that has the plague from his head to his foot, as far as the priest can see;
  then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the żara῾at have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that has the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
  But when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
  And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is żara῾at.
  Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed to white, he shall come to the priest;
  and the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that has the plague: he is clean.
  The flesh also, the skin of which has on it a pox which is healed,
  and in the place of the pox there be a white swelling, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shown to the priest;
  and if, when the priest sees it, behold, it be in sight deeper than the skin, and the hair of it be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of żara῾at broken out in the pox.
  But if the priest look on it, and behold, there be no white hairs in it, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dimmer; then the priest shall shut him up for seven days:
  and if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
  But if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not, it is the scar of the pox; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
  Or if there be any flesh, in the skin of which there is a burn caused by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
  then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in appearance deeper than the skin; it is a żara῾at broken out of the burn: and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of żara῾at.
  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the other skin, but is somewhat dimmer: then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
  and the priest shall look upon him on the seventh day: and if it be spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of żara῾at.
  And if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not in the skin, and it be somewhat dimmer; it is a swelling caused by the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is a scar of the burn.
  If a man or a woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
  then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in appearance deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a patch, a żara῾at of the head of beard.
  And if the priest look on the plague of the patch, and, behold, it be not in appearance deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that has the plague of the patch seven days:
  and on the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the patch spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the patch be not in sight deeper than the skin;
  he shall be shaved, but the patch shall not be shaved; and the priest shall shut up him that has the patch seven days more:
  and on the seventh day the priest shall look on the patch: and, behold, if the patch 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.
  But if the patch spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
  then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the patch be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
  But if the patch remain stationary in appearance, and there is black hair grown up in it; the patch is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
  If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright white spots;
  then the priest shall look: and, behold, if there be darkish white spots in the skin of their flesh; it is a tetter breaking out in the skin; he is clean.
  And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
  And he whose hair is fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
  And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is żara῾at sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the swelling of the plague be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of żara῾at in the skin of the flesh;
  he is diseased, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
  And the diseased man in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall grow long, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
  All the days during which the plague shall be in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his habitation be.
  The garment also in which is the plague of żara῾at, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
  whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin;
  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 anything of skin; it is a plague of żara῾at, and shall be shown to the priest:
  and the priest shall look at the plague, and shut up that which has the plague seven days:
  and he shall look at 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 malignant żara῾at; it is unclean.
  He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or anything of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a malignant żara῾at; it shall be burnt in the fire.
  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 anything of skin;
  then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
  And the priest shall look after the plague is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed its colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is a decay on the inner or outer surface.
  And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dimmer after the washing of it; then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
  and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that in which the plague is with fire.
  And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatever 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.
  This is the Tora of the plague of żara῾at in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  This shall be the Tora of the one stricken with żara῾at in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest:
  and the priest shall go out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of żara῾at be healed in the one afflicted;
  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:
  and the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
  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:
  and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the żara῾at seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
  And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but he shall remain outside his tent seven days.
  And 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 bathe his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
  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 measures of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
  And the priest that makes him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the Tent of Meeting:
  and the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer it for a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:
  and he shall slaughter 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 guilt offering: it is most holy:
  and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt 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:
  and the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
  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:
  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 guilt offering:
  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 atonement for him before the Lord.
  And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterwards he shall kill the burnt offering:
  and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
  And if he be poor, and his means do not suffice; then he shall take one lamb for a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth measure of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
  and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as his means permit; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
  And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord.
  And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:
  and he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt 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:
  and the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
  and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:
  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 guilt offering:
  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 atonement for him before the Lord.
  And he shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as his means permit;
  even such as his means permit, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering: and the priest shall make atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.
  This is the Tora of him in whom is the plague of żara῾at whose means do not permit much for his cleansing.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
  When you come into the land of Kena῾an, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of żara῾at in a house of the land of your possession;
  and he that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
  then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, so that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
  and he shall look at the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house in greenish or reddish depressions, which in sight are lower than the wall;
  then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
  and the priest shall come back on the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
  then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city:
  and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city in an unclean place:
  and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
  And if the plague come back, and break out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered;
  then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a malignant żara῾at in the house: it is unclean.
  And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
  Moreover he that goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.
  And he that lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
  And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
  And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
  and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
  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 slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
  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:
  but he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
  This is the Tora for all manner of plague of żara῾at, and the patch,
  and for the żara῾at of a garment, and of a house,
  and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
  to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the Tora of żara῾at.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When any man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
  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.
  Every bed, whereon he that has the issue lies down, is unclean: and everything, whereon he sits, shall be unclean.
  And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And he that sits on anything on which he that has the issue sat, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And he that touches the flesh of him that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And if he that has the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And whatever saddle he that has the issue rides upon, shall be unclean.
  And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening: and he that bears any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And whomever he touches that has the issue, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And the vessel of earth, that he who has the issue touches, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
  And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and he shall be clean.
  And on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest:
  and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord because of his issue.
  And if the semen goes out from a man, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And every garment, and every skin, on which the semen is, shall be washed with water and be unclean until evening.
  The woman also with whom a man shall lie with emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be seven days in her menstrual separation: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.
  And everything that she lies upon in her separation shall be unclean: everything also that she sits upon shall be unclean.
  And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And whoever touches anything that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  And if it be on her bed, or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening.
  And if any man lie with her at all, and her menstrual flow be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days: and all the bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
  And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her menstruation, or if it run beyond the time of her menstruation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her menstruation: she shall be unclean.
  Every bed on which she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her menstruation: and whatever she sits upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her menstruation.
  And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
  But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
  And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
  And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for the issue of her uncleanness.
  Thus shall you separate the children of Yisra᾽el from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
  This is the Tora of him that has an issue, and of him whose semen goes from him, and he is defiled with it;
  and of her that is sick in her menstrual flow, and of him that has an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lies with her that is unclean.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe after the death of the two sons of Aharon, when they came near before the Lord, and died;
  and the Lord said to Moshe, Speak to Aharon thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the covering, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I appear in the cloud upon the ark cover.
  Thus shall Aharon come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
  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 bathe his flesh in water, and so put them on.
  And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
  And Aharon shall offer the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.
  And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
  And Aharon shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for ῾Azazel.
  And Aharon shall bring the goat upon which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it for a sin offering.
  But the goat, on which the lot fell for ῾Azazel, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement over him, and to let him go to ῾Azazel into the wilderness.
  And Aharon shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
  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 inside the veil:
  and he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the covering that is upon the Testimony, that he die not:
  and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the covering eastward; and before the covering shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
  Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring its blood within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the covering, and before the covering:
  and he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Yisra᾽el, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the Tent of Meeting, that remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
  And there shall be no man in the Tent of Meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, until he comes out, and have made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Yisra᾽el.
  And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and make 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.
  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 Yisra᾽el.
  And when he has made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat:
  and Aharon shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Yisra᾽el, 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 an appointed man into the wilderness:
  and the goat shall bear upon it all their iniquities to a barren land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
  And Aharon shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
  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 atonement for himself, and for the people.
  And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
  And he that let go the goat for ῾Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards come into the camp.
  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 be taken outside the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
  And he that burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp.
  And this shall be a statute for ever to you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, the home born or the stranger that sojourns among you:
  for on that day will he forgive you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.
  It shall be a sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls, by a statute forever.
  And the priest, who shall be anointed, and who shall be consecrated to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, the holy garments:
  and he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting, and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
  And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make atonement for the children of  Yisra᾽el for all their sins once a year. And he did as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe saying,
  Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them; This is the thing which the Lord has commanded, saying,
  What man soever there be of the house of  Yisra᾽el, that kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that kills it outside the camp,
  and brings it not to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer an offering to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man; he has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
  to the end that the children of Yisra᾽el may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, that they may bring them to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and offer them for peace offerings to the Lord.
  And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savour to the Lord.
  And they shall no more offer their sacrifices to the demons, after whom they have gone astray. This shall be a statute for ever to them throughout their generations.
  And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man there be of the house of Yisra᾽el, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
  and brings it not to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it to the Lord; that man shall be cut off from among his people.
  And whatever man there be of the house of Yisra᾽el, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eats any manner of blood: then I will set my face against that person that eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
  For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.
  Therefore I said to the children of Yisra᾽el, None of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourns among you eat blood.
  And whatever man there be of the children of Yisra᾽el, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, who hunts venison of any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall even pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
  For the life of all flesh is its blood, on which its life depends: therefore I said to the children of Yisra᾽el, you shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eats it shall be cut off.
  And every person that eats that which died of itself, or that which was torn by 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 evening: then shall he be clean.
  But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, I am the Lord your God.
  After the doings of the land of Miżrayim, in which you dwelt, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Kena῾an, into which I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their practices.
  You shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them, I am the Lord your God.
  You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.
  None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness: I am the Lord.
  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.
  The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.
  The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
  The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thy own nakedness.
  The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.
  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.
  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thy aunt.
  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.
  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 foulness.
  Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, as her rival, and uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
  Also thou shalt not approach to a woman in the impurity of her menstrual flow, to uncover her nakedness.
  Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
  And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through (the fire) to Molekh, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
  Thou shalt not lie with a man after the manner of a woman: it is abomination.
  Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself with it: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down before it: it is perversion.
  Defile not yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations were defiled which I cast out before you:
  and the land was defiled: therefore I do punish its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out her inhabitants.
  You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you:
  for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land is defiled;
  that the land vomit not you out also, when you defile it, as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.
  For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the persons that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
  Therefore shall you keep my ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that you defile not yourselves in them: I am the Lord your God.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe saying,
  Speak to all the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, You shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.
  You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
  Turn not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
  And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord, you shall offer it so that it may be favourably accepted.
  It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in fire.
  And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
  Therefore everyone that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shalt be cut off from among his people.
  And when you reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.
  And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the single grapes of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.
  You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
  And you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
  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.
  Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord.
  You 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.
  Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand aside when mischief befalls thy neighbour: I am the Lord.
  Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt certainly rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin on his account.
  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.
  You 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 wool come upon thee.
  And whoever lies carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, designated to a man, and not wholly redeemed, nor freedom given her; inquiry shall be made; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
  And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.
  And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin which he has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him.
  And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall reckon their fruit as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten.
  But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy for praisegiving to the Lord.
  And in the fifth year shall you eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the Lord your God.
  You shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times.
  You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
  You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
  Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a harlot; lest the land fall to harlotry, and the land become full of foulness.
  You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
  You shall not apply to mediums or wizards, nor seek to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
  Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.
  And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, you shall not wrong him.
  But the stranger that dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for you were strangers in the land of Miżrayim: I am the Lord your God.
  You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
  Just balances, just weights, a just efa, and a just hin, shall you have: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Miżrayim.
  Therefore shall you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Again, thou shalt say to the children of Yisra᾽el, Whoever he be of the children of Yisra᾽el, or of the strangers that sojourn in Yisra᾽el, that gives any of his seed to Molekh; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
  And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed to Molekh, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
  And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives of his seed to Molekh, and kill him not:
  then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, going astray after Molekh, from among their people.
  And the person that applies to mediums and to wizards, to go astray after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
  Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy: for I am the Lord your God.
  And you shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
  For everyone that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
  And the man that commits adultery with another man’s wife, that commits adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
  And the man that lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
  And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought unnatural sin; their blood shall be upon them.
  If a man also lie with a man, as one lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
  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.
  And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the beast.
  And if a woman approach any beast, and lie down before it, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
  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 disgraceful deed; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
  And if a man shall lie with a woman during her menstrual sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
  And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister: for he uncovers his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
  And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
  And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing: he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.
  You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, into which I bring you to dwell, vomit you not out.
  And you shall not walk in the practices of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
  But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from the peoples.
  You shall therefore distinguish between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean birds and clean: and you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
  And you shall be holy to me: for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.
  A man also or woman that is a medium or a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
  
  
  
  And the Lord said to Moshe, Speak to the priests the sons of Aharon, and say to them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
  but for his kin, that is near to him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son and for his daughter, and for his brother,
  and for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, and who has had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
  But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
  They shall not make baldness on their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
  They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
  They shall not take a wife that is a harlot, or profaned; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy to his God.
  Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of thy God: he shall be holy to thee: for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
  And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
  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 suffer the hair of his head to grow long, nor rend his clothes;
  neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
  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.
  And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
  A widow, or a divorced woman, or a profaned, or a harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
  Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the Lord do sanctify him.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  speak to Aharon, saying, Whoever he be of thy seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
  For whatever man he be that has a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or anything superfluous,
  or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
  or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or whose stones are crushed.
  No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aharon the priest shall come near to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
  He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
  Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not my holy places: for I the Lord do sanctify them.
  And Moshe spoke to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra᾽el.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe saying,
  Speak to Aharon and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Yisra᾽el which they hallow to me, and they profane not my holy name, I am the Lord.
  Say to them, Whoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that approaches the holy things, which the children of Yisra᾽el hallow to the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.
  What man soever of the seed of Aharon that is stricken with żara῾at, or has a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose semen goes from him;
  or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;
  the person who has touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh with water.
  And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterwards eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
  That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.
  They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them.
  No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
  But if a priest buy any person with money, he may eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his bread.
  And if a priest’s daughter be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
  But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat of it.
  And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part thereof to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
  And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yisra᾽el, which they offer to the Lord;
  and so cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, Whatever he be of the house of Yisra᾽el, or of the strangers in Yisra᾽el, that will offer their sacrifice for all their vows, and for all their freewill offerings, which they will offer to the Lord for a burnt offering;
  you shall offer, that you may be accepted, a male without blemish, of the oxen, of the sheep, or of the goats.
  But whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
  And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in oxen or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; no blemish shall be in it.
  Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a growth, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the Lord.
  Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or too short, that mayst thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
  You shall not offer to the Lord that which has its testicles bruised or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you do thus in your land.
  Neither from a stranger’s hand shall you offer the bread of your God from any of these; because their corruption is in them, their blemish is in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under its dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the Lord.
  And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
  And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it that it may be accepted.
  On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the Lord.
  And you shall keep my commandments, and do them: I am the Lord.
  Neither shall you profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of  Yisra᾽el: I am the Lord who make you holy,
  who brought you out of the land of Miżrayim, to be your God: I am the Lord.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy gatherings, these are my feasts.
  Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of solemn rest, a holy gathering; you shall do no work: it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.
  These are the feasts of the Lord, holy gatherings, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.
  On the fourteenth day of the first month towards evening is the Lord’s passover.
  And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the Lord: seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
  On the first day you shall have a holy gathering: you shall do no servile work.
  But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days: on the seventh day is a holy gathering: you shall do no servile work.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you are come to the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring an ῾omer of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:
  and he shall wave the ῾omer before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
  And you shall offer that day when you wave the ῾omer a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the Lord.
  And the meal offering thereof shall be two tenth measures of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet savour: and its drink offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
  And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until that very day, until you have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
  And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the ῾omer of the wave offering; seven complete sabbaths shall there be:
  to the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall you number fifty days and you shall offer a new meal offering to the Lord.
  You shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth measures: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits to the Lord.
  And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering to the Lord, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire, of sweet savour to the Lord.
  Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
  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.
  And you shall proclaim on this very same day, that it may be a holy gathering to you: you shall do no servile work: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
  And when you reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not altogether remove the corners of thy field when thou reapest, nor shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of  blowing of  horns, a holy gathering.
  You shall do no servile work: but you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be a holy gathering to you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.
  And you shall do no work on that very same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.
  For whatever person shall not be afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
  And whatever person does any work on that same day, the same person will I destroy from among his people.
  You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
  It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening shall you celebrate your sabbath.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of booths for seven days to the Lord.
  On the first day shall be a holy gathering: you shall do no servile work.
  Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord: on the eighth day shall be a holy gathering to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord; it is a solemn assembly; and you shall do no servile work.
  These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy gatherings, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon its day:
  beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give to the Lord.
  Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
  And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of the tree hadar, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick leaved trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
  And you shall keep it a feast to the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
  You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home born in Yisra᾽el shall dwell in booths:
  that your generations may know that I made the children of Yisra᾽el to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Miżrayim: I am the Lord your God.
  And Moshe declared to the children of Yisra᾽el the appointed seasons of the Lord.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Command the children of Yisra᾽el, that they bring to thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
  Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aharon order it from evening unto morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
  He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick, before the Lord continually.
  And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake of it twelve cakes: two tenth measures shall be in one cake.
  And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.
  And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
  Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, an everlasting covenant from the children of Yisra᾽el.
  And it shall be Aharon’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual due.
  And the son of a Yisra᾽elite woman, whose father was a Miżrian man, went out among the children of Yisra᾽el: and this son of the Yisra᾽elite woman and a man of Yisra᾽el strove together in the camp;
  and the Yisra᾽elite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him to Moshe: (and his mother’s name was Shelomit, the daughter of Divri, of the tribe of Dan: )
  and they put him in custody, that the mind of the Lord might be shown them.
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Bring forth him that has cursed outside the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
  And thou shalt speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
  And he who blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: both the stranger, and he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
  And he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.
  And he that kills a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
  And if a man maim his neighbour; as he has done, so shall it be done to him;
  breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he has maimed a man, so shall it be done to him.
  And he that kills a beast, he shall restore it: and he that kills a man, he shall be put to death.
  You 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.
  And Moshe spoke to the children of Yisra᾽el, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Yisra᾽el did as the Lord commanded Moshe.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe in mount Sinay, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you come to the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the Lord.
  Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in its fruit;
  but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
  That which grows of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, nor gather the grapes of thy undressed vine: for it shall be a year of rest for the land.
  And the sabbath produce of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourns with thee,
  and for thy cattle, and for the beast in thy land, shall all its increase be food.
  And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years to thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to thee forty nine years.
  Then shalt thou cause the shofar to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the day of atonement shall you sound the shofar throughout all your land.
  And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee for you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family.
  A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather in it the grapes of thy undressed vine.
  For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat its increase out of the field.
  In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession.
  And if thou sell aught to thy neighbour, or buy aught of thy neighbour’s hand, you shall not defraud one another:
  according to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee:
  according to the multitude of years thou shalt increase its price, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for what he sells thee is a number of years of produce.
  You shall not therefore defraud one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God.
  And you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
  And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
  And if you shall say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
  then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
  And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in, you shall eat of the old store.
  The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with me.
  And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
  If thy brother become poor, and has sold away some of his possession, then shall his near kinsman come to redeem it, and shall redeem that which his brother sold.
  And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
  then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
  But if his means do not suffice to regain it, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.
  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.
  And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall become the permanent property of him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.
  But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
  But the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
  And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Yisra᾽el.
  But the field of the pasture lands of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
  And if thy brother grow poor, and his means fail with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
  Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
  Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy foodstuffs for increase.
  I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Miżrayim, to give you the land of Kena῾an, and to be your God.
  And if thy brother who dwells by thee be grown poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
  but as a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee until the year of jubilee:
  and then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
  For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Miżrayim: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
  Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
  Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them may you buy bondmen and bondmaids.
  Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, whom they have begotten in your land: and they shall be your possession.
  And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Yisra᾽el, you shall not rule one over another with rigour.
  And if a sojourner or stranger grow rich by thee, and thy brother that dwells by him grows poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the offspring of a stranger’s family:
  after he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
  either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if his means suffice, he may redeem himself.
  And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.
  If there are yet many years, according to them he shall restore the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
  And if there remain but few years until the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he restore the price of his redemption.
  As a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
  And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
  For to me the children of Yisra᾽el are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Miżrayim: I am the Lord your God.
  
  
  
  You shall make no idols, nor shall you erect a carved idol, or a pillar, nor shall you install a figured stone in your land, to bow down upon it: for I am the Lord your God.
  You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary, I am the Lord.
  If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
  then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
  And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
  And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
  And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
  And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
  For I will turn myself to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
  And you shall eat old store, and remove the old because of the new.
  And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
  And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
  I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Miżrayim, that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
  But if you will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commands:
  and if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant:
  I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
  And I will set my face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you.
  And if you will not yet for all this hearken to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
  And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your skies like iron, and your earth like brass:
  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 fruit.
  And if you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
  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.
  And if you will not be admonished by me as a result of these things, but will walk contrary to me;
  then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
  And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
  And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall return you your bread by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
  And if you will not for all this hearken to me, but walk contrary to me;
  then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and will chastise you seven times for your sins.
  And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.
  And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
  And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
  And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
  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.
  Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you are in your enemies’ land; then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
  As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it.
  And upon those who are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.
  And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
  And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
  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.
  And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me;
  and that I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; then only will their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and then they will make amends for their sin.
  Then will I remember my covenant with Ya῾aqov, and also my covenant with Yiżĥaq, and also my covenant with Avraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
  The land also shall be forsaken by them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall make amends for their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
  And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God.
  But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Miżrayim in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.
  These are the statutes and the judgments and the Torot, which the Lord made between him and the children of Yisra᾽el in Mount Sinay by the hand of Moshe.
  
  
  
  And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,
  Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, If a man make a singular vow, to give to the Lord the estimated value of persons,
  then the estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, the estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
  And if it be a female, then the estimation shall be thirty shekels.
  And if it be from five years old to twenty years old, then the estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
  And if it be from a month old to five years old, then the estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female the estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
  And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then the estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
  But if he be too poor for the estimated value, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that vowed shall the priest value him.
  And if it be a beast, of which men bring an offering to the Lord, all that any man gives of such to the Lord shall be holy.
  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 its substitute shall be holy.
  And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
  and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest values it, so shall it be.
  But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof to the estimation.
  And when a man shall sanctify his house to be dedicated to the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
  And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation to it, and it shall be his.
  And if a man shall dedicate to the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then the estimation shall be according to the seed required for it, a ĥomer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
  If he dedicate his field from the year of jubilee, according to the estimation it shall stand.
  But if he dedicate his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from the estimation.
  And if he that sanctified the field will redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation to it, and it shall become his property.
  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.
  But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession of it shall be the priest’s.
  And if a man dedicate to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
  then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of the estimation, to the year of the jubilee, and he shall give the estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the Lord.
  In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
  And all estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gera shall be the shekel.
  Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord’s firstling, no man shall dedicate that; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord’s.
  And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to the estimation, and shall add to it a fifth part of it: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to the estimation.
  Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the Lord of all that he has, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.
  None devoted of men, which shall be doomed to death, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
  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 to the Lord.
  And if a man will at all redeem of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.
  And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.
  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 its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
  These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moshe for the children of Yisra᾽el in Mount Sinay.
