Leviticus 1
1And
the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
2Speak 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.
3If
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.
4And
he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be
accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5And
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.
6And
he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
7And
the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in
order upon the fire:
8And
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:
9But
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.
10And 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.
11And 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.
12And 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:
13But 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.
14And 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.
15And 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:
16And 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:
17And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall
not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the
wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire,
of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus 2
1And
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:
2And
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:
3And
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.
4And
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.
5And
if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour
unleavened, mingled with oil.
6Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a
meat offering.
7And
if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of
fine flour with oil.
8And
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.
9And
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.
10And 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.
11No
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.
12As
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.
13And 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.
14And 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.
15And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense
thereon: it is a meat offering.
16And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the
beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense
thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus 3
1And
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.
2And
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.
3And
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,
4And
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.
5And
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.
6And
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.
7If
he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD.
8And
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.
9And
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,
10And 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.
11And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food
of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.
12And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it
before the LORD.
13And 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.
14And 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,
15And 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.
16And 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.
17It
shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your
dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Leviticus 4
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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:
3If
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.
4And
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.
5And
the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to
the tabernacle of the congregation:
6And
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.
7And
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.
8And
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,
9And
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,
10As
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.
11And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his
head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12Even 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.
13And 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;
14When 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.
15And 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.
16And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the
bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
17And
the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven
times before the LORD, even before the vail.
18And 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.
19And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon
the altar.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22When 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;
23Or
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:
24And 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.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27And 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;
28Or
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.
29And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin
offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30And 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.
31And 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.
32And
if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without
blemish.
33And 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.
34And 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:
35And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of
the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the
priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire
unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus 5
1And
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.
2Or
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.
3Or
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.
4Or
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.
5And
it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall
confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
6And
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.
7And
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.
8And
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:
9And
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.
10And 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.
11But 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.
12Then 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.
13And 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.
14And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15If
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.
16And 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.
17And 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.
18And 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.
19It
is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Leviticus 6
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2If
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;
3Or
have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely;
in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4Then 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,
5Or
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.
6And
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:
7And
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.
8And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
9Command 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.
10And 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.
11And he shall put off his garments, and put on other
garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
12And 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.
13The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall
never go out.
14And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron
shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
15And 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.
16And 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.
17It
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.
18All 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.
19And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20This 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.
21In
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.
22And 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.
23For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly
burnt: it shall not be eaten.
24And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25Speak 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.
26The 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.
27Whatsoever 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.
28But 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.
29All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is
most holy.
30And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought
into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place,
shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
Leviticus 7
1Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is
most holy.
2In
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.
3And
he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth
the inwards,
4And
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:
5And
the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the
LORD: it is a trespass offering.
6Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be
eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
7As
the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them:
the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
8And
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.
9And
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.
10And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall
all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings,
which he shall offer unto the LORD.
12If
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.
13Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened
bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
14And 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.
15And 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.
16But 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:
17But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the
third day shall be burnt with fire.
18And 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.
19And 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.
20But 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.
21Moreover 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.
22And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no
manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
24And 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.
25For 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.
26Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of
fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even
that soul shall be cut off from his people.
28And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
29Speak
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.
30His 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.
31And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the
breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
32And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an
heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33He
among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and
the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
34For 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.
35This 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;
36Which 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.
37This 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;
38Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day
that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the
LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus 8
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Take 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;
3And
gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
4And
Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
5And
Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to
be done.
6And
Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
7And
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.
8And
he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and
the Thummim.
9And
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.
10And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the
tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
11And 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.
12And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and
anointed him, to sanctify him.
13And 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.
14And 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.
15And 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.
16And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the
caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it
upon the altar.
17But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he
burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
18And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron
and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
19And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the
altar round about.
20And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head,
and the pieces, and the fat.
21And 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.
22And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and
Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
23And 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.
24And 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.
25And 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:
26And 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:
27And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons'
hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
28And 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.
29And 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.
30And 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.
31And 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.
32And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread
shall ye burn with fire.
33And 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.
34As
he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement
for you.
35Therefore 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.
36So
Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses.
Leviticus 9
1And
it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and
the elders of Israel;
2And
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.
3And
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;
4Also 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.
5And
they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
6And
Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and
the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
7And
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.
8Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of
the sin offering, which was for himself.
9And
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:
10But 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.
11And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the
camp.
12And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented
unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the
pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
14And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them
upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15And 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.
16And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according
to the manner.
17And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful
thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the
morning.
18He
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,
19And 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:
20And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat
upon the altar:
21And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a
wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22And 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.
23And 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.
24And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and
consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the
people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 10
1And
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.
2And
there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the
LORD.
3Then 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.
4And
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.
5So
they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had
said.
6And
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.
7And
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.
8And
the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
9Do
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:
10And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and
between unclean and clean;
11And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the
statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
12And 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:
13And 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.
14And 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.
15The 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.
16And 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,
17Wherefore 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?
18Behold, 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.
19And 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?
20And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus 11
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the
beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and
cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4Nevertheless
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.
5And
the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean
unto you.
6And
the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean
unto you.
7And
the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not
the cud; he is unclean to you.
8Of
their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are
unclean to you.
9These 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.
10And 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:
11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not
eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that
shall be an abomination unto you.
13And 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,
14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15Every raven after his kind;
16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the
hawk after his kind,
17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing,
and the bat.
20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an
abomination unto you.
21Yet 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;
22Even 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.
23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet,
shall be an abomination unto you.
24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the
carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall
wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26The 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.
27And 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.
28And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29These 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,
30And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the
snail, and the mole.
31These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever
doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32And 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.
33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
34Of
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.
35And 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.
36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of
water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed
which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
38But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of
their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that
toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40And 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.
41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall
be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42Whatsoever 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.
43Ye
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.
44For 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.
45For 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.
46This 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:
47To
make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that
may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Leviticus 12
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.
3And
in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4And
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.
5But
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.
6And
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:
7Who
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.
8And
if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two
young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin
offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be
clean.
Leviticus 13
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
2When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a
scab, or 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:
3And
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.
4If
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:
5And
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:
6And
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.
7But
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.
8And
if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
brought unto the priest;
10And 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;
11It
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.
12And 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;
13Then 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.
14But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
15And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him
to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
16Or
if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the
priest;
17And 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.
18The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a
boil, and is healed,
19And 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;
20And 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.
21But
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:
22And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
23But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not,
it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24Or
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;
25Then 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.
26But 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:
27And 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.
28And 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.
29If
a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
30Then 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.
31And 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:
32And 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;
33He
shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up
him that hath the scall seven days more:
34And 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.
35But if the scall spread much in the skin after his
cleansing;
36Then 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.
37But 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.
38If
a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white
bright spots;
39Then 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.
40And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald;
yet is he clean.
41And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his
head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
42And 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.
43Then 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;
44He
is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly
unclean; his plague is in his head.
45And 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.
46All 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.
47The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether
it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
48Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of
woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
49And 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:
50And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it
that hath the plague seven days:
51And 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.
52He
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.
53And 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;
54Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing
wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
55And 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.
56And 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:
57And 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.
58And 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.
59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of
woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to
pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Leviticus 14
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his
cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
3And
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;
4Then 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:
5And
the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel
over running water:
6As
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:
7And
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.
8And
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.
9But
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.
10And 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.
11And 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:
12And 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:
13And 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:
14And 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:
15And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour
it into the palm of his own left hand:
16And 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:
17And 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:
18And 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.
19And 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:
20And 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.
21And 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;
22And 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.
23And 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.
24And 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:
25And 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:
26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his
own left hand:
27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of
the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
28And 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:
29And 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.
30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the
young pigeons, such as he can get;
31Even 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.
32This 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.
33And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34When 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;
35And 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:
36Then 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:
37And 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;
38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of
the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall
look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40Then 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:
41And 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:
42And 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.
43And 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;
44Then 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.
45And 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.
46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it
is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and
he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48And 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.
49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar
wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel
over running water:
51And 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:
52And 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:
53But 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.
54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and
scall,
55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
57To
teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
Leviticus 15
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2Speak 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.
3And
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.
4Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean:
and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
5And
whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
6And
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.
7And
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.
8And
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.
9And
what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
10And 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.
11And 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.
12And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the
issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13And 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.
14And 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:
15And 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.
16And 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.
17And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of
copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
18The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of
copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the
even.
19And 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.
20And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall
be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
22And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
23And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she
sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24And 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.
25And 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.
26Every 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.
27And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even.
28But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number
to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29And 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.
30And 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.
31Thus 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.
32This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose
seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that
hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her
that is unclean.
Leviticus 16
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they
offered before the LORD, and died;
2And
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.
3Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young
bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4He
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.
5And
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.
6And
Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and
make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
7And
he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
8And
Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other
lot for the scapegoat.
9And
Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a
sin offering.
10But 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.
11And 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:
12And 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:
13And 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:
14And 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.
15Then 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:
16And 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.
17And
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.
18And 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.
19And 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.
20And 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:
21And
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:
22And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto
a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
23And 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:
24And 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.
25And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the
altar.
26And 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.
27And 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.
28And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe
his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
29And 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:
30For
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.
31It
shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a
statute for ever.
32And 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:
33And 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.
34And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make
an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he
did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus 17
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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,
3What 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,
4And
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:
5To
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.
6And
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.
7And
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.
8And
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 or
sacrifice,
9And
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.
10And 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.
11For 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.
12Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of
you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat
blood.
13And 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.
14For 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.
15And 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.
16But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall
bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 18
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am
the LORD your God.
3After 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.
4Ye
shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD
your God.
5Ye
shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall
live in them: I am the LORD.
6None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to
him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7The
nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not
uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8The
nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's
nakedness.
9The
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.
10The 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.
11The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of
thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister:
she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's
brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in
law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife:
it is thy brother's nakedness.
17Thou 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.
18Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her,
to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her
nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's
wife, to defile thyself with her.
21And 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.
22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
23Neither 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.
24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all
these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity
thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26Ye
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;)
28That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it
spued out the nations that were before you.
29For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even
the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not
any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that
ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 19
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.
3Ye
shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the
LORD your God.
4Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods:
I am the LORD your God.
5And
if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at
your own will.
6It
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.
7And
if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be
accepted.
8Therefore 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.
9And
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.
10And 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.
11Ye
shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt
thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13Thou 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.
14Thou
shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt
fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15Ye
shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of
the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou
judge thy neighbour.
16Thou 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.
17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt
in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18Thou 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.
19Ye
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.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22And 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.
23And 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.
24But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy
to praise the LORD withal.
25And 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.
26Ye
shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor
observe times.
27Ye
shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners
of thy beard.
28Ye
shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks
upon you: I am the LORD.
29Do
not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to
whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30Ye
shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek
after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
32Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the
face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
33And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall
not vex him.
34But 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.
35Ye
shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36Just 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.
37Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my
judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 20
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Again, 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.
3And
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.
4And
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:
5Then 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.
6And
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.
7Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the
LORD your God.
8And
ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
9For
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.
10And 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.
11And 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.
12And 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.
13If
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.
14And 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.
15And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to
death: and ye shall slay the beast.
16And 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.
17And 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.
18And 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.
19And 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.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22Ye
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.
23And 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.
24But 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.
25Ye
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.
26And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and
have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
27A
man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall
surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be
upon them.
Leviticus 21
1And
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:
2But
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.
3And
for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for
her may he be defiled.
4But
he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane
himself.
5They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall
they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6They 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.
7They 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.
8Thou 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.
9And
the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she
profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10And 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;
11Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself
for his father, or for his mother;
12Neither 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.
13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14A
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.
15Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I
the LORD do sanctify him.
16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17Speak 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.
18For 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,
19Or
a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20Or
crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or
scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21No
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.
22He
shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23Only 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.
24And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all
the children of Israel.
Leviticus 22
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.
3Say
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.
4What
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;
5Or
whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man
of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6The
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.
7And
when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy
things; because it is his food.
8That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall
not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.
9They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin
for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
10There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner
of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11But 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.
12If
the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an
offering of the holy things.
13But 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 be no stranger eat thereof.
14And 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.
15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
16Or
suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things:
for I the LORD do sanctify them.
17And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18Speak 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;
19Ye
shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the
sheep, or of the goats.
20But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for
it shall not be acceptable for you.
21And 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.
22Blind, 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.
23Either 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.
24Ye
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.
25Neither 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.
26And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27When 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.
28And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her
young both in one day.
29And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the
LORD, offer it at your own will.
30On
the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow:
I am the LORD.
31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am
the LORD.
32Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be
hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God:
I am the LORD.
Leviticus 23
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.
3Six
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.
4These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations,
which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5In
the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
6And
on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto
the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7In
the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
8But
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.
9And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10Speak 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:
11And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted
for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12And 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.
13And 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.
14And 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.
15And 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:
16Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye
number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
17Ye
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.
18And 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.
19Then 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.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22And 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.
23And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24Speak 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.
25Ye
shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD.
26And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27Also 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.
28And 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.
29For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in
that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same
day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31Ye
shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings.
32It
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.
33And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34Speak 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.
35On
the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
36Seven 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.
37These 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:
38Beside 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.
39Also
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.
40And 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.
41And 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.
42Ye
shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in
booths:
43That 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.
44And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts
of the LORD.
Leviticus 24
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee
pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
3Without 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.
4He
shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
5And
thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals
shall be in one cake.
6And
thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the
LORD.
7And
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.
8Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD
continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting
covenant.
9And
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.
10And 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;
11And 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:)
12And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might
be shewed them.
13And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14Bring 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.
15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
16And 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.
17And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
18And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for
beast.
19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath
done, so shall it be done to him;
20Breach 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.
21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he
that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22Ye
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.
23And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should
bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And
the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus 25
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2Speak 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.
3Six
years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard,
and gather in the fruit thereof;
4But
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.
5That 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.
6And
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.
7And
for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase
thereof be meat.
8And
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.
9Then 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.
10And 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.
11A
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.
12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall
eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13In
the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
14And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought
of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15According 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:
16According 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.
17Ye
shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am
the LORD your God.
18Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments,
and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your
fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year?
behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,
and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22And 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.
23The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine,
for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a
redemption for the land.
25If
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.
26And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able
to redeem it;
27Then 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.
28But 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.
29And 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.
30And 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.
31But 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.
32Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses
of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33And 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.
34But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be
sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35And 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.
36Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God;
that thy brother may live with thee.
37Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him
thy victuals for increase.
38I
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.
39And 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:
40But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be
with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.
41And 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.
42For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the
land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear
thy God.
44Both 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.
45Moreover 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.
46And 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.
47And 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:
48After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his
brethren may redeem him:
49Either 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.
50And 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.
51If
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.
52And 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.
53And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the
other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54And 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.
55For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are
my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your
God.
Leviticus 26
1Ye
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.
2Ye
shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3If
ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4Then 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.
5And
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.
6And
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.
7And
ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8And
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.
9For
I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and
establish my covenant with you.
10And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because
of the new.
11And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not
abhor you.
12And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye
shall be my people.
13I
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.
14But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all
these commandments;
15And 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:
16I
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.
17And 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.
18And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make
your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
20And
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.
21And 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.
22I
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 high ways shall be
desolate.
23And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but
will walk contrary unto me;
24Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish
you yet seven times for your sins.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk
contrary unto me;
28Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I,
even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of
your daughters shall ye eat.
30And 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.
31And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
odours.
32And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies
which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33And 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.
34Then 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.
35As
long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your
sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36And 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.
37And 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.
38And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
enemies shall eat you up.
39And 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.
40If
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;
41And 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:
42Then 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.
43The 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.
44And 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.
45But 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.
46These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the
LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of
Moses.
Leviticus 27
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.
3And
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.
4And
if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5And
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.
6And
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.
7And
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.
8But
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.
9And
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.
10He
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.
11And 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:
12And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad:
as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
13But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth
part thereof unto thy estimation.
14And 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.
15And 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.
16And 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.
17If
he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it
shall stand.
18But 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.
19And 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.
20And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the
field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
21But 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.
22And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath
bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
23Then 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.
24In
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.
25And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of
the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26Only 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.
27And 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.
28Notwithstanding 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.
29None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be
redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
30And 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.
31And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he
shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32And 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.
33He
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.
34These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.
