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