2 1:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep:
3 1:3. If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him.
4 1:4. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim: and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.
5 1:5. And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord: and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 1:6. And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces:
7 1:7. And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood.
8 1:8. And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon: to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver;
9 1:9. The entrails and feet being washed with water. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the Lord.
10 1:10. And if the offering be of the flocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 1:11. And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about.
12 1:12. And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put.
13 1:13. But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.

17 1:17. And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife: and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
18 2:1. When any one shall offer an oblation of sacrifice to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour: and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense,

20 2:3. And the remnant of the sacrifice shall be Aaron's, and his sons', holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.
21 2:4. But when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in the oven of flour, to wit, loaves without leaven, tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers, anointed with oil:
22 2:5. If thy oblation be from the fryingpan, of flour tempered with oil, and without leaven: 2:6. Thou shalt divide it into little pieces, and shalt pour oil upon it.
23 2:7. And if the sacrifice be from the gridiron, in like manner the flour shall be tempered with oil.
24 2:8. And when thou offerest it to the Lord, thou shalt deliver it to the hands of the priest.
25 2:9. And when he hath offered it, he shall take a memorial out of the sacrifice, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the Lord.
26 2:10. And whatsoever is left, shall be Aaron's, and his sons': holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.
27 2:11. Every oblation that is offered to the Lord shall be made without leaven: neither shall any leaven or honey be burnt in the sacrifice to the Lord.
28 2:12. You shall offer only the firstfruits of them and gifts: but they shall not be put upon the altar, for a savour of sweetness.
29 2:13. Whatsoever sacrifice thou offerest, thou shalt season it with salt: neither shalt thou take away the salt of the covenant of thy God from thy sacrifice. In all thy oblations thou shalt offer salt.
30 2:14. But if thou offer a gift of the firstfruits of thy corn to the Lord, of the ears yet green, thou shalt dry it at the fire, and break it small like meal; and so shalt thou offer thy firstfruits to the Lord:
31 2:15. Pouring oil upon it and putting on frankincense, because it is the oblation of the Lord.
32 2:16. Whereof the priest shall burn for a memorial of the gift, part of the corn broken small and of the oil, and all the frankincense.

37 3:5. And they shall burn them upon the altar, for a holocaust, putting fire under the wood: for an oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
38 3:6. But if his oblation and the sacrifice of peace offering be of the flock, whether he offer male or female, they shall be without blemish.
39 3:7. If he offer a lamb before the Lord:

50 4:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
51 4:2. Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded not to be done:

53 4:4. And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord: and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to the Lord.
54 4:5. He shall take also of the blood of the calf: and carry it into the tabernacle of the testimony.
55 4:6. And having dipped his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle with it seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary.
56 4:7. And he shall put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle.
57 4:8. And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards:
58 4:9. The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys:
59 4:10. As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.
60 4:11. But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung:
61 4:12. And the rest of the body, he shall carry forth without the camp into a clean place where the ashes are wont to be poured out: and he shall burn them upon a pile of wood. They shall be burnt in the place where the ashes are poured out.
62 4:13. And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through ignorance shall do that which is against the commandment of the Lord,

64 4:15. And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord:

66 4:17. And shall dip his finger in it and sprinkle it seven times before the veil.
67 4:18. And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony. And the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
68 4:19. And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar:
69 4:20. Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before. And the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them.

79 4:30. And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust: and shall pour out the rest at the foot thereof.

93 5:9. And of its blood he shall sprinkle the side of the altar: and whatever is left, he shall let it drop at the bottom thereof, because it is for sin.

106 6:3. Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to sin:
107 6:4. Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore
108 6:5. All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides, to the owner, whom he wronged.

114 6:11. Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, shall carry them forth without the camp, and shall cause them to be consumed to dust in a very clean place.
115 6:12. And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning: and laying on the holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.
116 6:13. This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out on the altar.

119 6:16. And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court of the tabernacle.
120 6:17. And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for sin and for trespass.
121 6:18. The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified.

129 6:26. The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court of the tabernacle.
130 6:27. Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a holy place.
131 6:28. And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken: but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water.
132 6:29. Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is holy of holies.
133 6:30. For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.
134 7:1. This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass: it is most holy.

137 7:4. The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.
138 7:5. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass.
139 7:6. Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy.

145 7:12. If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer loaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil.
146 7:13. Moreover loaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peace offerings:
147 7:14. Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood of the victim.
148 7:15. And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day: neither shall any of it remain until the morning.
149 7:16. If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten the same day. And if any of it remain until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it.
150 7:17. But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire.
151 7:18. If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect: neither shall it profit the offerer. Yea rather, whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.
152 7:19. The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten: but shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean shall eat of it.
153 7:20. If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.

158 7:25. If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.
159 7:26. Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.
160 7:27. Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.
161 7:28. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
162 7:29. Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.
163 7:30. He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,
164 7:31. Who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
165 7:32. The right shoulder also of the victim, of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.
166 7:33. He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat: he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.
167 7:34. For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings: and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.
168 7:35. This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,
169 7:36. And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.
170 7:37. This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings:
171 7:38. Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.
172 8:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
173 8:2. Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction: a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread.
174 8:3. And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.
175 8:4. And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle:
176 8:5. He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.
177 8:6. And immediately, he offered Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them,
178 8:7. He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick: and over it he put the ephod.
179 8:8. And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
180 8:9. He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.
181 8:10. He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.
182 8:11. And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof: and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.
183 8:12. And he poured it upon Aaron's head: and he anointed and consecrated him.
184 8:13. And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles: and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.
185 8:14. He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,
186 8:15. He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.
187 8:16. But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar.
188 8:17. And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.
189 8:18. He offered also a ram for holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head:
190 8:19. He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about the altar.
191 8:20. And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire.
192 8:21. Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram together he burnt upon the altar: because it was a holocaust of most sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him.
193 8:22. He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof.
194 8:23. And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron's right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot.
195 8:24. He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about.
196 8:25. But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.
197 8:26. And taking out of the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder:
198 8:27. Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons. Who having lifted them up before the Lord,
199 8:28. He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust: because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord.
200 8:29. And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.
201 8:30. And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments with it.
202 8:31. And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them.
203 8:32. And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the loaves, shall be consumed with fire.
204 8:33. And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished:
205 8:34. As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
206 8:35. Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle observing the watches of the Lord, lest you die. For so it hath been commanded me.
207 8:36. And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
208 9:1. And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron:
209 9:2. Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
210 9:3. And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and without blemish for a holocaust.
211 9:4. Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every one of them flour tempered with oil: for to day the Lord will appear to you.
212 9:5. They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood,
213 9:6. Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded. Do it, and his glory will appear to you.
214 9:7. And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer sacrifice for thy sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself and for the people: and when thou hast slain the people's victim, pray for them, as the Lord hath commanded.
215 9:8. And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin.
216 9:9. And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured the rest at the foot thereof.
217 9:10. And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
218 9:11. But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp.
219 9:12. He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar.
220 9:13. And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him the head and all the members: all which he burnt with fire upon the altar.
221 9:14. Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water.
222 9:15. Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar,
223 9:16. He offered the holocaust.
224 9:17. Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust.
225 9:18. He immolated also the bullock and the ram, and peace offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the altar round about.
226 9:19. The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the caul of the liver,
227 9:20. They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar,
228 9:21. Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
229 9:22. And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down.
230 9:23. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude.
231 9:24. And, behold, a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces.
232 10:1. And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their censers, put fire therein, and incense on it, offering before the Lord strange fire: which was not commanded them.
233 10:2. And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them: and they died before the Lord.
234 10:3. And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath spoken. I will be sanctified in them that approach to me: and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his peace.
235 10:4. And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away your brethren from before the sanctuary, and carry them without the camp.
236 10:5. And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested with linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been commanded them.
237 10:6. And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons: Uncover not your heads, and rend not your garments, lest perhaps you die, and indignation come upon all the congregation. Let your brethren, and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled.
238 10:7. But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle: otherwise you shall perish, for the oil of the holy unction is on you. And they did all things according to the precept of Moses.
239 10:8. The Lord also said to Aaron:
240 10:9. You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make drunk, thou nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest you die. Because it is an everlasting precept; through your generations:
241 10:10. And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy and unholy, between unclean and clean:
242 10:11. And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
243 10:12. And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons that were left: Take the sacrifice that is remaining of the oblation of the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is holy of holies.
244 10:13. And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given to thee and thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as it hath been commanded me.
245 10:14. The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee. For they are set aside for thee and thy children, of the victims of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
246 10:15. Because they have elevated before the Lord the shoulder and the breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar: and they belong to thee and to thy sons by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded.
247 10:16. While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt. And being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said:
248 10:17. Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice for sin, which is most holy, and given to you, that you may bear the iniquity of the people, and may pray for them in the sight of the Lord.
249 10:18. Especially, whereas none of the blood thereof hath been carried within the holy places: and you ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as was commanded me?
250 10:19. Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim for sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest has happened. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful heart?
251 10:20. Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied.
252 11:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
253 11:2. Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
254 11:3. Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.
255 11:4. But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others: that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.
256 11:5. The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.
257 11:6. The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.
258 11:7. And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
259 11:8. The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
260 11:9. These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.
261 11:10. But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
262 11:11. And detestable. Their flesh you shall not eat: and their carcasses you shall avoid.
263 11:12. All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.
264 11:13. Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey.
265 11:14. And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind.
266 11:15. And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.
267 11:16. The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind.
268 11:17. The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis.
269 11:18. And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion.
270 11:19. The heron, and the charadroin according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.
271 11:20. Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.
272 11:21. But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,
273 11:22. That you shall eat: as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophimachus, and the locust, every, one according to their kind.
274 11:23. But of flying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you.
275 11:24. And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled: and shall be unclean until the evening:
276 11:25. And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead: he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.
277 11:26. Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.
278 11:27. That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.
279 11:28. And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you.
280 11:29. These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth. The weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:
281 11:30. The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the lizard, and the mole.
282 11:31. All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.
283 11:32. And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths: or any thing in which work is done. They shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.
284 11:33. But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall be defiled: and therefore is to be broken.
285 11:34. Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of any such vessel, shall be unclean.
286 11:35. And upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts shall fall, it shall be unclean. Whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.
287 11:36. But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled.
288 11:37. If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it.
289 11:38. But if any man pour water upon the seed, and afterwards it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled.
290 11:39. If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening.
291 11:40. And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening.
292 11:41. All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable: neither shall it be taken for meat.
293 11:42. Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.
294 11:43. Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be unclean,
295 11:44. For I am the Lord your God. Be holy because I am holy. Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the earth.
296 11:45. For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
297 11:46. You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:
298 11:47. That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.
299 12:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
300 12:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: If a woman having received seed shall bear a man child, she shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of separation of her flowers.
301 12:3. And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised:
302 12:4. But she shall remain three and thirty days in the blood of her purification. She shall touch no holy thing: neither shall she enter into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification, be fulfilled.
303 12:5. But if she shall bear a maid child, she shall be unclean two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly courses. And she shall remain in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.
304 12:6. And when the days of her purification are expired, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a turtle for sin: and shall deliver them to the priest.
305 12:7. Who shall offer them before the Lord, and shall pray for her: and so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth a man child or a maid child.
306 12:8. And if her hand find not sufficiency, and she is not able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, one for a holocaust, and another for sin: and the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.
307 13:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
308 13:2. The man in whose skin or flesh shall arise a different colour or a blister, or as it were something shining, that is the stroke of the leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or any or of his sons.
309 13:3. And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy, and upon his judgment he shall be separated.
310 13:4. But if there be a shining whiteness in the skin, and not lower than the other flesh, and the hair be of the former colour, the priest shall shut him up seven days.
311 13:5. And the seventh day he shall look on him: and if the leprosy be grown no farther, and hath not spread itself in the skin, he shall shut him up again other seven days.
312 13:6. And on the seventh day, he shall look on him. If the leprosy be somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and shall be clean.
313 13:7. But, if the leprosy grow again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him:
314 13:8. And shall be condemned of uncleanness.
315 13:9. If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to the priest:
316 13:10. And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear:
317 13:11. It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean: and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean.
318 13:12. But if the leprosy spring out running about in the skin, and cover all the skin from the head to the feet, whatsoever falleth under the sight of the eyes:
319 13:13. The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean.
320 13:14. But when the live flesh shall appear in him:
321 13:15. Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
322 13:16. And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man:
323 13:17. The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean.
324 13:18. When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has been healed:
325 13:19. And in the place of the ulcer, there appeareth a white scar, or somewhat red, the man shall be brought to the priest.
326 13:20. And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hair turned white: he shall declare him unclean, for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer.
327 13:21. But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it: he shall shut him up seven days.
328 13:22. And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy:
329 13:23. But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer: and the man shall be clean.
330 13:24. The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is healed hath a white or a red scar:
331 13:25. The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar.
332 13:26. But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure: he shall shut him up seven days,
333 13:27. And on the seventh day he shall view him. If the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean.
334 13:28. But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning: and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning.
335 13:29. If the leprosy break out in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall see them,
336 13:30. And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard;
337 13:31. But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days,
338 13:32. And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be even with the other flesh:
339 13:33. The man shall be shaven all but the place of the spot: and he shall be shut up other seven days.
340 13:34. If on the seventh day the evil seem to have stayed in its place, and not lower than the other flesh, he shall cleanse him: and his clothes being washed he shall be clean.
341 13:35. But if after his cleansing the spot spread again in the skin:
342 13:36. He shall seek no more whether the hair be turned yellow, because he is evidently unclean.
343 13:37. But if the spot be stayed, and the hair be black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
344 13:38. If a whiteness appear in the skin of a man or a woman,
345 13:39. The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean.
346 13:40. The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and clean:
347 13:41. And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and clean.
348 13:42. But if in the bald head or in the bald forehead there be risen a white or reddish colour:
349 13:43. And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of leprosy which is risen in the bald part.
350 13:44. Now whosoever shall be defiled with the leprosy, and is separated by the judgment of the priest:
351 13:45. Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth: and he shall cry out that he is defiled and unclean.
352 13:46. All the time that he is a leper and unclean he shall dwell alone without the camp.
353 13:47. A woollen or linen garment that shall have the leprosy
354 13:48. In the warp, and the woof: or skin, or whatsoever is made of a skin:
355 13:49. If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest.
356 13:50. And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days.
357 13:51. And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it is grown, it is a fixed leprosy. He shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found.
358 13:52. And therefore it shall be burnt with fire.
359 13:53. But if he see that it is not grown,
360 13:54. He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is: and he shall shut it up other seven days.
361 13:55. And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean: and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole.
362 13:56. But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound.
363 13:57. And if after this there appear in those places that before were without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with fire.
364 13:58. If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, the second time: and they shall be clean.
365 13:59. This is the law touching the leprosy of any woollen or linen garment, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins: how it ought to be cleaned, or pronounced unclean.
366 14:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
367 14:2. This is the rite of a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest:
368 14:3. Who going out of the camp, when he shall find that the leprosy is cleansed,
369 14:4. Shall command him that is to be purified, to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
370 14:5. And he shall command one of the sparrows to be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.
371 14:6. But the other that is alive, he shall dip, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop, in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated:
372 14:7. Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven times, that he may be rightly purified. And he shall let go the living sparrow, that it may fly into the field.
373 14:8. And when the man hath washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair of his body, and shall be washed with water: and being purified he shall enter into the camp, yet so that he tarry without his own tent seven days.
374 14:9. And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard and his eyebrows, and the hair of all his body. And having washed again his clothes, and his body,
375 14:10. On the eighth day, he shall take two lambs without blemish, and an ewe of a year old without blemish, and three tenths of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil apart.
376 14:11. And when the priest that purifieth the man, hath presented him, and all these things before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
377 14:12. He shall take a lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil. And having offered all before the Lord,
378 14:13. He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies.
379 14:14. And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot.
380 14:15. And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left hand,
381 14:16. And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times.
382 14:17. And the rest of the oil in his left hand, he shall pour upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that was shed for trespass:
383 14:18. And upon his head.
384 14:19. And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for sin. Then shall he immolate the holocaust.
385 14:20. And put it on the altar with the libations thereof: and the man shall be rightly cleansed.
386 14:21. But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil:

458 16:3. Unless he first do these things. He shall offer a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust.

491 17:2. Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying:
492 17:3. Any man whosoever of the house of Israel, if he kill an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp,
493 17:4. And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the Lord, shall be guilty of blood. As if he had shed blood, so shall he perish from the midst of his people.
494 17:5. Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony: and they may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord.
495 17:6. And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony: and shall burn the fat for a sweet odour to the Lord.
496 17:7. And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever to them and to their posterity.
497 17:8. And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a victim,
498 17:9. And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
499 17:10. If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
500 17:11. Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul.
501 17:12. Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood.
502 17:13. Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover it with earth.
503 17:14. For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore I said to the children of Israel: you shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
504 17:15. The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.
505 17:16. But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.
506 18:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
507 18:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God.
508 18:3. You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you. Nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
509 18:4. You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
510 18:5. Keep my laws and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them, I am the Lord.
511 18:6. No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
512 18:7. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

517 18:12. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: because she is the flesh of thy father.
518 18:13. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: because she is thy mother's flesh.

520 18:15. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: because she is thy son's wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame.
521 18:16. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.
522 18:17. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.
523 18:18. Thou shalt not take thy wife's sister for a harlot, to rival her: neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living.
524 18:19. Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers: neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness.
525 18:20. Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife: nor be defiled with mingling of seed.

527 18:22. Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: because it is an abomination.
528 18:23. Thou shalt not copulate with any beast: neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.
529 18:24. Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,
530 18:25. And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
531 18:26. Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments: and do not any of these abominations. Neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.
532 18:27. For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that were before you, and have defiled it.
533 18:28. Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things: as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
534 18:29. Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.
535 18:30. Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you: and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.

541 19:6. You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day. And whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.
542 19:7. If after two days any man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:
543 19:8. And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord. And that soul shall perish from among his people.
544 19:9. When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.

546 19:11. You shall not steal. You shall not lie: neither shall any man deceive his neighbour.
547 19:12. Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God. I am the Lord.

568 19:33. If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid hin:
569 19:34. But let him be among you as one of the same country. And you shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
570 19:35. Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.
571 19:36. Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.
572 19:37. Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments: and do them. I am the Lord.
573 20:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
574 20:2. Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die. The people of the land shall stone him.
575 20:3. And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
576 20:4. And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:
577 20:5. I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
578 20:6. The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them: I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
579 20:7. Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy: because I am the Lord your God.
580 20:8. Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
581 20:9. He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die. He hath cursed his father, and mother: let his blood be upon him.
582 20:10. If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile his neighbour's wife: let them be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
583 20:11. If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be upon them.
584 20:12. If any man lie with his daughter in law: let both die, because they have done a heinous crime. Their blood be upon them.
585 20:13. If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination: let them be put to death. Their blood be upon them.
586 20:14. If any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a heinous crime. He shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
587 20:15. He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die: the beast also ye shall kill.
588 20:16. The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed together with the same. Their blood be upon them.
589 20:17. If any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her brother's shame: they have committed a crime. They shall be slain, in the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another's nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.
590 20:18. If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood: both shall be destroyed out of the midst of their people.
591 20:19. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father. He that doth this, hath uncovered the shame of his own flesh: both shall bear their iniquity.
592 20:20. If any man lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.
593 20:21. He that marrieth his brother's wife, doth an unlawful thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness. They shall be without children.
594 20:22. Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out.
595 20:23. Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things: and therefore I abhorred them.
596 20:24. But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.
597 20:25. Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean. Defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean:
598 20:26. You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy: and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.
599 20:27. A man, or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die. They shall stone them. Their blood be upon them.
600 21:1. The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say for them: Let not a priest incur an uncleanness at the death of his citizens.
601 21:2. But only for his kin, such as are near in blood: that is to say, for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his daughter, for his brother also:
602 21:3. And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband.
603 21:4. But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
604 21:5. Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make incisions in their flesh.
605 21:6. They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name. For they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their God: and therefore they shall be holy.
606 21:7. They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to their God,
607 21:8. And offer the loaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy because I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctify them.
608 21:9. If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire.
609 21:10. The high priest, that is to say, the priest who is the greatest among his brethren, upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured; and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood; and who hath been vested with the holy vestments. He shall not uncover his head: he shall not rend his garments.
610 21:11. Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled.
611 21:12. Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord: because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
612 21:13. He shall take a virgin unto his wife.
613 21:14. But a widow or one that is divorced, or defied, or a harlot, he shall not take: but a maid of his own people.
614 21:15. He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of this nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
615 21:16. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
616 21:17. Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God.
617 21:18. Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind; if he be lame; if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose;
618 21:19. If his foot, or if his hand be broken;
619 21:20. If he be crookbacked; or blear eyed; or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture.
620 21:21. Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish: he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God.
621 21:22. He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves that are offered in the sanctuary.
622 21:23. Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar: because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
623 21:24. Moses, therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.
624 22:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying:
625 22:2. Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel: and defile not the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
626 22:3. Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
627 22:4. The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead: and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation:
628 22:5. And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling:
629 22:6. Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water,
630 22:7. And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.
631 22:8. That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.
632 22:9. Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
633 22:10. No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.
634 22:11. But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.
635 22:12. If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified nor of the firstfruits.
636 22:13. But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father's house, she shall eat of her father's meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid. No stranger hath leave to eat of them.
637 22:14. He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.
638 22:15. And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:
639 22:16. Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
640 22:17. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
641 22:18. Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,
642 22:19. To be offered by you: it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
643 22:20. If it have a blemish you shall not offer it: neither shall it be acceptable.
644 22:21. The man that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
645 22:22. If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord's altar.
646 22:23. An ox or a sheep, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.
647 22:24. you shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such things in your land.
648 22:25. you shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all corrupted, and defiled. You shall not receive them.
649 22:26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
650 22:27. When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord.
651 22:28. Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the same day with their young ones.
652 22:29. If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
653 22:30. You shall eat it the same day. There shall not any of it remain until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord.
654 22:31. Keep my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
655 22:32. Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you:
656 22:33. And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. I am the Lord.
657 23:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
658 23:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
659 23:3. Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
660 23:4. These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.
661 23:5. The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord.
662 23:6. And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
663 23:7. The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein.
664 23:8. But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.
665 23:9. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
666 23:10. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.
667 23:11. Who shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
668 23:12. And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.
669 23:13. And the libations shall be offered with it: two tenths of flour tempered with oil, for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour. Libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
670 23:14. You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty or the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.
671 23:15. You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of firstfruits, seven full weeks.
672 23:16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days: and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.
673 23:17. Out of all your dwellings, two loaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.
674 23:18. And you shall offer with the loaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and they shall be for a holocaust with their two rams: and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
675 23:19. You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.
676 23:20. And when the priest hath lifted them up with the loaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
677 23:21. And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.
678 23:22. And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain. But you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.
679 23:23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
680 23:24. Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with the sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
681 23:25. You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
682 23:26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
683 23:27. Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement. It shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall await your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
684 23:28. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
685 23:29. Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people.
686 23:30. And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
687 23:31. You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.
688 23:32. It is a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month. From evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.
689 23:33. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
690 23:34. Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles, seven days to the Lord.
691 23:35. The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
692 23:36. The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy: and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and congregation. You shall do no servile work therein.
693 23:37. These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord: holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day.
694 23:38. Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
695 23:39. So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath: that is a day of rest.
696 23:40. And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook: And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
697 23:41. And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
698 23:42. And you shall dwell in bowers seven days. Every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles:
699 23:43. That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
700 23:44. And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.
701 24:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
702 24:2. Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and clearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
703 24:3. Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
704 24:4. They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
705 24:5. Thou shalt take also fine flour, and shalt bake twelve loaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf.
706 24:6. And thou shalt set them six and six, one against another, upon the most clean table before the Lord.
707 24:7. And thou shalt put upon them the clearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
708 24:8. Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord: being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
709 24:9. And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
710 24:10. And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel: and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
711 24:11. And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses. (Now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan.)
712 24:12. And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
713 24:13. And the Lord spoke to Moses,
714 24:14. Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp: and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head: and let all the people stone him.
715 24:15. And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: The man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
716 24:16. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die. All the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
717 24:17. He that striketh and killeth a man: dying let him die.
718 24:18. He that killeth a beast, shall make it good that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
719 24:19. He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
720 24:20. Breach for breach, eye for ere, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
721 24:21. He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
722 24:22. Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God.
723 24:23. And Moses spoke to the children of Israel. And they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp: and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
724 25:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
725 25:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the rest of the sabbath of the Lord.
726 25:3. Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof.
727 25:4. But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath to the land, of the resting of the Lord. Thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
728 25:5. What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: neither shalt thou gather the grapes or the firstfruits as a vintage. For it is a year of rest to the land.
729 25:6. But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers that sojourn with thee.
730 25:7. All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy cattle.
731 25:8. Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years: that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years.
732 25:9. And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.
733 25:10. And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
734 25:11. Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
735 25:12. Because of the sanctification of the jubilee. But as they grow you shall presently eat them.
736 25:13. In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
737 25:14. When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him: grieve not thy brother. But thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
738 25:15. And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
739 25:16. The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
740 25:17. Do not afflict your countrymen: but let every one fear his God. Because I am the Lord your God.
741 25:18. Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfil them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear.
742 25:19. And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no man's invasion.
743 25:20. But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?
744 25:21. I will give you my blessing the sixth year: and it shall yield the fruits of three years.
745 25:22. And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.
746 25:23. The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.
747 25:24. For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
748 25:25. If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will: he may redeem what he had sold.
749 25:26. But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:
750 25:27. The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it. And the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.
751 25:28. But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.
752 25:29. He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired.
753 25:30. If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.
754 25:31. But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields. If it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.
755 25:32. The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed.
756 25:33. If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners: because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.
757 25:34. But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.
758 25:35. If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee:
759 25:36. Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest. Fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.
760 25:37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury: nor exact of him any increase of fruits.
761 25:38. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.
762 25:39. If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee: thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants.
763 25:40. But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee.
764 25:41. And afterwards he shall go out with his children: and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers.
765 25:42. For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen.
766 25:43. Afflict him not by might: but fear thy God.
767 25:44. Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you:
768 25:45. And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land. These you shall have for servants:
769 25:46. And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
770 25:47. If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
771 25:48. After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
772 25:49. Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself:
773 25:50. Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant.
774 25:51. If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.
775 25:52. If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years: and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years.
776 25:53. His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.
777 25:54. And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.
778 25:55. For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
779 26:1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing: neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it. For I am the Lord your God.
780 26:2. Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
781 26:3. If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rain in due seasons.
782 26:4. And the ground shall bring forth its increase: and the trees shall be filled with fruit.
783 26:5. The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.
784 26:6. I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.
785 26:7. You shall pursue your enemies: and they shall fall before you.
786 26:8. Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others: and a hundred of you ten thousand. Your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
787 26:9. I will look on you, and make you increase: you shall be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.
788 26:10. You shall eat the oldest of the old store: and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.
789 26:11. I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you: and my soul shall not cast you off.
790 26:12. I will walk among you, and will be your God: and you shall be my people.
791 26:13. I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them: and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
792 26:14. But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments:
793 26:15. If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
794 26:16. I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.
795 26:17. I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies: and shall be made subject to them that hate you. You shall flee when no man pursueth you.
796 26:18. But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
797 26:19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness: and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass.
798 26:20. Your labour shall be spent in vain: the ground shall not bring forth her increase: nor the trees yield their fruit.
799 26:21. If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins.
800 26:22. And I will send in upon you the beasts of the field, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number: and that your highways may be desolate.
801 26:23. And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
802 26:24. I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.
803 26:25. And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you. And you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,
804 26:26. After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled,
805 26:27. But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me,
806 26:28. I will also go against you with opposite fury: and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
807 26:29. So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.
808 26:30. I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
809 26:31. Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness: and I will make your sanctuaries desolate: and will receive no more your sweet odours.
810 26:32. And I will destroy your land: and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.
811 26:33. And I will scatter you among the Gentiles: and I will draw out the sword after you. And your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.
812 26:34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation. When you shall be
813 26:35. In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation: because she did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelt therein.
814 26:36. And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies. The sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them: and they shall flee as it were from the sword. They shall fall, when no man pursueth them.
815 26:37. And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars: none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.
816 26:38. You shall perish among the Gentiles: and an enemy's land shall consume you.
817 26:39. And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies: and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own.
818 26:40. Until they confess their iniquities, and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed against me, and walked contrary unto me.
819 26:41. Therefore I also will walk against them, and bring them into their enemies' land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed. Then shall they pray for their sins.
820 26:42. And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:
821 26:43. Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.
822 26:44. And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether. Neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed: and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
823 26:45. And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
824 27:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
825 27:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
826 27:3. If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sicles of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
827 27:4. If a woman, thirty.
828 27:5. But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
829 27:6. From one month until the fifth year, for a male shall be given five sicles: for a female three.
830 27:7. A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen sicles: a woman ten.
831 27:8. If he be poor, and not able to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
832 27:9. But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if any one shall vow, shall be holy,
833 27:10. And cannot be changed: that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
834 27:11. An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if any man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
835 27:12. Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price.
836 27:13. Which, if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
837 27:14. If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad: and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
838 27:15. But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above: and shall have the house.
839 27:16. And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sown with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sicles of silver.
840 27:17. If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning: as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.
841 27:18. But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
842 27:19. And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.
843 27:20. And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more.
844 27:21. For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priest.
845 27:22. If a field that was bought, and not of a man's ancestors' possession, be sanctified to the Lord:
846 27:23. The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years, unto the jubilee. And he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.
847 27:24. But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
848 27:25. All estimation shall be made according to the sicle of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
849 27:26. The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord's.
850 27:27. And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.
851 27:28. Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold: neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
852 27:29. And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
853 27:30. All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him.
854 27:31. And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
855 27:32. Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd's rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.
856 27:33. It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.
857 27:34. These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
