^1:1And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying, ^1:2Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock. ^1:3If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord. ^1:4And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin. ^1:5And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting. ^1:6And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts. ^1:7And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire: ^1:8And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar: ^1:9But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^1:10And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark. ^1:11And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar. ^1:12And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar: ^1:13But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^1:14And if his offering to the Lord is a burned offering of birds, then he is to make his offering of doves or of young pigeons. ^1:15And the priest is to take it to the altar, and after its head has been twisted off, it is to be burned on the altar, and its blood drained out on the side of the altar: ^1:16And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put: ^1:17And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

^2:1And when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the best meal, with oil on it and perfume: ^2:2And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^2:3And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings. ^2:4And when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with oil. ^2:5And if you give a meal offering cooked on a flat plate, let it be of the best meal, unleavened and mixed with oil. ^2:6Let it be broken into bits, and put oil on it; it is a meal offering. ^2:7And if your offering is of meal cooked in fat over the fire, let it be made of the best meal mixed with oil. ^2:8And you are to give the meal offering made of these things to the Lord, and let the priest take it to the altar. ^2:9And he is to take from the meal offering a part, for a sign, burning it on the altar; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^2:10And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings. ^2:11No meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord. ^2:12You may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to go up as a sweet smell on the altar. ^2:13And every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings give salt. ^2:14And if you give a meal offering of first-fruits to the Lord, give, as your offering of first-fruits, new grain, made dry with fire, crushed new grain. ^2:15And put oil on it and perfume: it is a meal offering. ^2:16And part of the meal of the offering and part of the oil and all the perfume is to be burned for a sign by the priest: it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

^3:1And if his offering is given for a peace-offering; if he gives of the herd, male or female, let him give it without any mark on it, before the Lord. ^3:2And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar. ^3:3And he is to give of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts, ^3:4And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away; ^3:5That it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord. ^3:6And if what he gives for a peace-offering to the Lord is of the flock, let him give a male or female, without any mark on it. ^3:7If his offering is a lamb, then let it be placed before the Lord: ^3:8And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and round the altar. ^3:9And of the peace-offering, let him give an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat of it, all the fat tail, he is to take away near the backbone; and the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts, ^3:10And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away; ^3:11That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire to the Lord. ^3:12And if his offering is a goat, then let it be placed before the Lord, ^3:13And let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the altar. ^3:14And of it let him make his offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts, ^3:15And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, let him take away; ^3:16That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the Lord's. ^3:17Let it be an order for ever, through all your generations, in all your houses, that you are not to take fat or blood for food.

^4:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^4:2Say to the children of Israel: These are the offerings of anyone who does wrong through error, doing any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done: ^4:3If the chief priest by doing wrong becomes a cause of sin to the people, then let him give to the Lord for the sin which he has done, an ox, without any mark, for a sin-offering. ^4:4And he is to take the ox to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord; and put his hand on its head and put it to death before the Lord. ^4:5And the chief priest is to take some of its blood and take it to the Tent of meeting; ^4:6And the priest is to put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of it before the Lord seven times, in front of the veil of the holy place. ^4:7And the priest is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar on which perfume is burned before the Lord in the Tent of meeting, draining out all the rest of the blood of the ox at the base of the altar of burned offering which is at the door of the Tent of meeting. ^4:8And he is to take away all the fat of the ox of the sin-offering; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat of the inside parts, ^4:9And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away, ^4:10As it is taken from the ox of the peace-offering; and it is to be burned by the priest on the altar of burned offerings. ^4:11And the skin of the ox and all its flesh, with its head and its legs and its inside parts and its waste, ^4:12All the ox, he is to take away outside the circle of the tents into a clean place where the burned waste is put, and there it is to be burned on wood with fire. ^4:13And if all the people of Israel do wrong, without anyone's knowledge; if they have done any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done, causing sin to come on them; ^4:14When the sin which they have done comes to light, then let all the people give an ox for a sin-offering, and take it before the Tent of meeting. ^4:15And let the chiefs of the people put their hands on its head before the Lord, and put the ox to death before the Lord. ^4:16And the priest is to take some of its blood to the Tent of meeting; ^4:17And put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil. ^4:18And he is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord in the Tent of meeting; and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar of burned offering at the door of the Tent of meeting. ^4:19And he is to take off all its fat, burning it on the altar. ^4:20Let him do with the ox as he did with the ox of the sin-offering; and the priest will take away their sin and they will have forgiveness. ^4:21Then let the ox be taken away outside the tent-circle, that it may be burned as the other ox was burned; it is the sin-offering for all the people. ^4:22If a ruler does wrong, and in error does any of the things which, by the order of the Lord his God, are not to be done, causing sin to come on him; ^4:23When the sin which he has done is made clear to him, let him give for his offering a goat, a male without any mark. ^4:24And he is to put his hand on the head of the goat and put it to death in the place where they put to death the burned offering before the Lord: it is a sin-offering. ^4:25And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, draining out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burned offering. ^4:26And all the fat of it is to be burned on the altar like the fat of the peace-offering; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness. ^4:27And if any one of the common people does wrong in error, doing any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, causing sin to come on him; ^4:28When the sin which he has done is made clear to him, then he is to give for his offering a goat, a female without any mark, for the sin which he has done. ^4:29And he is to put his hand on the head of the sin-offering and put it to death in the place where they put to death the burned offering. ^4:30And the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of its blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar. ^4:31And let all its fat be taken away, as the fat is taken away from the peace-offerings, and let it be burned on the altar by the priest for a sweet smell to the Lord; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness. ^4:32And if he gives a lamb as his sin-offering, let it be a female without any mark; ^4:33And he is to put his hand on the head of the offering and put it to death for a sin-offering in the place where they put to death the burned offering. ^4:34And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; ^4:35And let him take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away from the lamb of the peace-offerings; and let it be burned by the priest on the altar among the offerings made by fire to the Lord: and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

^5:1And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible: ^5:2If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible: ^5:3Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible: ^5:4Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things. ^5:5And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing; ^5:6And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin. ^5:7And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering. ^5:8And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two; ^5:9And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering. ^5:10And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness. ^5:11But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering. ^5:12And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering. ^5:13And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering. ^5:14And the Lord said to Moses, ^5:15If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place. ^5:16And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness. ^5:17And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible. ^5:18Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness. ^5:19It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.

^6:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^6:2If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour, ^6:3Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things, ^6:4Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance, ^6:5Or anything about which he took a false oath; he will have to give it all back, with the addition of a fifth of its value, to him whose property it is, when he has been judged to be in the wrong. ^6:6Then let him take to the Lord the offering for his wrongdoing; giving to the priest for his offering, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you: ^6:7And the priest will take away his sin from before the Lord, and he will have forgiveness for whatever crime he has done ^6:8And the Lord said to Moses, ^6:9Give orders to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law for the burned offering: the offering is to be on the fire-wood on the altar all night till the morning; and the fire of the altar is to be kept burning. ^6:10And the priest is to put on his linen robes and his linen trousers, and take up what is over of the offering after it has been burned on the altar, and put it by the side of the altar. ^6:11Then having taken off his linen robes and put on other clothing, he is to take it away into a clean place, outside the tent-circle. ^6:12The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it is never to go out; every morning the priest is to put wood on it, placing the burned offering in order on it, and there the fat of the peace-offering is to be burned. ^6:13Let the fire be kept burning on the altar at all times; it is never to go out. ^6:14And this is the law for the meal offering: it is to be offered to the Lord before the altar by the sons of Aaron. ^6:15The priest is to take in his hand some of the meal of the meal offering and of the oil of it, and all the perfume on it, burning it on the altar as a sign, for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^6:16And whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it without leaven in a holy place; in the open space of the Tent of meeting they may take a meal of it. ^6:17It is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the offerings made by fire to me; it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and the offerings for error. ^6:18Every male among the children of Aaron may have it for food; it is their right for ever through all your generations, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord: anyone touching them will be holy. ^6:19And the Lord said to Moses, ^6:20This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening. ^6:21Let it be made with oil on a flat plate; when it is well mixed and cooked, let it be broken and taken in as a meal offering, for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^6:22And the same offering is to be given by that one of his sons who takes his place as priest; by an order for ever, all of it is to be burned before the Lord. ^6:23Every meal offering offered for the priest is to be completely burned: nothing of it is to be taken for food. ^6:24And the Lord said to Moses, ^6:25Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law for the sin-offering: the sin-offering is to be put to death before the Lord in the same place as the burned offering; it is most holy. ^6:26The priest by whom it is offered for sin, is to take it for his food in a holy place, in the open space of the Tent of meeting. ^6:27Anyone touching the flesh of it will be holy: and if any of the blood is dropped on any clothing, the thing on which the blood has been dropped is to be washed in a holy place. ^6:28But the vessel of earth in which the flesh was cooked is to be broken; or if a brass vessel was used, it is to be rubbed clean and washed out with water. ^6:29Every male among the priests may take it for his food: it is most holy. ^6:30No sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with fire.

^7:1And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. ^7:2They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar. ^7:3And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering. ^7:4And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away: ^7:5They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing. ^7:6Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy. ^7:7As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it. ^7:8And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him. ^7:9And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered. ^7:10And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure. ^7:11And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord. ^7:12If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil. ^7:13With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering. ^7:14And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar. ^7:15And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning. ^7:16But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after: ^7:17But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire. ^7:18And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food. ^7:19And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food: ^7:20But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people. ^7:21And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people. ^7:22And the Lord said to Moses, ^7:23Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food. ^7:24And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food. ^7:25For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people. ^7:26And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses. ^7:27Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people. ^7:28And the Lord said to Moses, ^7:29Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering: ^7:30He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord. ^7:31And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons. ^7:32And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings. ^7:33That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part. ^7:34For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel. ^7:35This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord; ^7:36Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation. ^7:37These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings; ^7:38As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.

^8:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^8:2Take Aaron, and his sons with him, and the robes and the holy oil and the ox of the sin-offering and the two male sheep and the basket of unleavened bread; ^8:3And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting. ^8:4And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting. ^8:5And Moses said to the people, This is what the Lord has given orders to be done. ^8:6Then Moses took Aaron and his sons; and after washing them with water, ^8:7He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place. ^8:8And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim. ^8:9And on his head he put the head-dress, and in front of the head-dress the plate of gold, the holy crown, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. ^8:10And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy. ^8:11Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy. ^8:12And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy. ^8:13Then he took Aaron's sons, clothing them with the coats, and putting the bands round them, and the head-dresses on their heads, as the Lord had given him orders. ^8:14And he took the ox of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the ox, ^8:15And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean. ^8:16And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar; ^8:17But the ox, with its skin and its flesh and its waste, was burned with fire outside the tent-circle, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. ^8:18And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head, ^8:19And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar. ^8:20And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses. ^8:21And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. ^8:22And he put the other sheep before the Lord, the sheep with which they were made priests; and Aaron and his sons put their hands on the head of the sheep, ^8:23And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot. ^8:24Then he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar. ^8:25And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right leg; ^8:26And out of the basket of unleavened bread which was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of bread with oil on it, and one thin cake, and put them on the fat and on the right leg: ^8:27And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord. ^8:28And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord. ^8:29And Moses took the breast, waving it for a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses' part of the sheep of the priest's offering, as the Lord gave orders to Moses. ^8:30And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him. ^8:31And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons. ^8:32And that which is over of the flesh and of the bread is to be burned with fire. ^8:33And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days. ^8:34What has been done this day, has been ordered by the Lord to take away your sin. ^8:35And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders. ^8:36And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.

^9:1And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel; ^9:2And he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the Lord. ^9:3And say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned offering; ^9:4And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord. ^9:5And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord. ^9:6And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord. ^9:7And Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given orders. ^9:8So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself; ^9:9And the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; ^9:10But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses. ^9:11And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle; ^9:12And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar; ^9:13And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar. ^9:14And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar. ^9:15And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first. ^9:16And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way; ^9:17And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning. ^9:18And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar; ^9:19And as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver; ^9:20They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar. ^9:21And Aaron took the breasts and the right leg, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses gave orders. ^9:22And Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the peace-offerings. ^9:23And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people. ^9:24And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.

^10:1And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given them orders to do. ^10:2And fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord. ^10:3Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing. ^10:4And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle. ^10:5So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said. ^10:6And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire. ^10:7And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said. ^10:8And the Lord said to Aaron: ^10:9Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order for ever through all your generations. ^10:10And make a division between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean; ^10:11Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses. ^10:12And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the altar, for it is most holy. ^10:13It is to be for your food in a holy place, because it is your right and your sons' right, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so am I ordered. ^10:14And the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel. ^10:15Let them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right for ever, as the Lord has given orders. ^10:16And Moses was looking for the goat of the sin-offering, but it was burned; and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, who were still living, saying, ^10:17Why did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on it, to take away their sin before the Lord. ^10:18See, its blood was not taken into the holy place: certainly it was right for you to have taken it as food in the holy place, as I gave orders. ^10:19And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord? ^10:20And after hearing this, Moses was no longer angry.

^11:1And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ^11:2Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth. ^11:3You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again. ^11:4But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you. ^11:5And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you. ^11:6And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you. ^11:7And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back. ^11:8Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you. ^11:9These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food. ^11:10All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you; ^11:11They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you. ^11:12Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you. ^11:13And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray; ^11:14And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort; ^11:15Every raven, and birds of that sort; ^11:16And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort; ^11:17And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl; ^11:18And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture; ^11:19The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat. ^11:20Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you; ^11:21But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food; ^11:22Such as all the different sorts of locust. ^11:23But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you. ^11:24By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening: ^11:25Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening. ^11:26Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean. ^11:27Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening. ^11:28Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening. ^11:29And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort; ^11:30And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon. ^11:31All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening. ^11:32The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean. ^11:33And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken. ^11:34Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean. ^11:35Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you. ^11:36But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean. ^11:37If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean; ^11:38But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you. ^11:39And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening. ^11:40And he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening. ^11:41Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food. ^11:42Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting. ^11:43You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me. ^11:44For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth. ^11:45For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy. ^11:46This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth: ^11:47Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.

^12:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^12:2Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell. ^12:3And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision. ^12:4And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended. ^12:5But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days. ^12:6And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering: ^12:7And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female. ^12:8And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burned offering and the other for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,

^13:1And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ^13:2If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons; ^13:3And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean. ^13:4But if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days; ^13:5And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more: ^13:6And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean. ^13:7But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again: ^13:8And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper. ^13:9When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest; ^13:10And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth, ^13:11It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean. ^13:12And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see, ^13:13And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean. ^13:14But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean. ^13:15And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper. ^13:16Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest, ^13:17And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease. ^13:18And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again, ^13:19And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it; ^13:20And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place. ^13:21But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days: ^13:22And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease. ^13:23But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean. ^13:24Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white, ^13:25The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease. ^13:26But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days: ^13:27And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease. ^13:28And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn. ^13:29And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin, ^13:30Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin. ^13:31And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days: ^13:32And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, ^13:33Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more: ^13:34And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean. ^13:35But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean, ^13:36Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean. ^13:37But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean. ^13:38And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks, ^13:39Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean. ^13:40And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean. ^13:41And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean. ^13:42But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow. ^13:43Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper; ^13:44He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head. ^13:45And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean. ^13:46While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle. ^13:47And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease; ^13:48If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin; ^13:49If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it. ^13:50And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days: ^13:51And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean. ^13:52And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire. ^13:53And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather, ^13:54Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more: ^13:55And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside. ^13:56And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material: ^13:57And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire. ^13:58And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean. ^13:59This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.

^14:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^14:2This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest; ^14:3And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him, ^14:4Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop. ^14:5And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water. ^14:6And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water. ^14:7And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country. ^14:8And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days. ^14:9And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean. ^14:10And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. ^14:11And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting. ^14:12And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; ^14:13And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. ^14:14And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; ^14:15And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand; ^14:16And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord; ^14:17And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing; ^14:18And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord. ^14:19And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death. ^14:20And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean. ^14:21And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil; ^14:22And two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering. ^14:23And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean. ^14:24And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; ^14:25And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; ^14:26And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand, ^14:27Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times: ^14:28And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put; ^14:29And the rest of the oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord. ^14:30And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get; ^14:31And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord. ^14:32This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean. ^14:33And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ^14:34When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage, ^14:35Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house. ^14:36And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house; ^14:37And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall; ^14:38Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days: ^14:39And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size; ^14:40Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town: ^14:41And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town: ^14:42And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house. ^14:43And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on, ^14:44Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean. ^14:45And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town. ^14:46And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening. ^14:47And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed. ^14:48And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone. ^14:49And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop; ^14:50And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water; ^14:51And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times. ^14:52And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread. ^14:53But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean. ^14:54This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases; ^14:55And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house; ^14:56And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin; ^14:57To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.

^15:1And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, ^15:2Say to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it will make him unclean. ^15:3If the flow goes on or if the part is stopped up, to keep back the flow, he is still unclean. ^15:4Every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean, and everything on which he has been seated will be unclean. ^15:5And anyone touching his bed is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:6And he who has been seated on anything on which the unclean man has been seated is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:7And anyone touching the flesh of the unclean man is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:8And if liquid from the mouth of the unclean man comes on to him who is clean, then he is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:9And any leather seat on a horse on which the unclean man has been seated will be unclean. ^15:10And anyone touching anything which was under him will be unclean till the evening; anyone taking up any of these things is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:11And anyone on whom the unclean man puts his hands, without washing them in water, is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:12And any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be broken and any vessel of wood washed. ^15:13And when a man who has a flow from his body is made clean from it, he is to take seven days to make himself clean, washing his clothing and bathing his body in flowing water, and then he will be clean. ^15:14And on the eighth day he is to take two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of meeting and give them to the priest: ^15:15And they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on account of his flow. ^15:16And if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening. ^15:17And any clothing or skin on which the seed comes is to be washed with water and be unclean till evening. ^15:18And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening. ^15:19And if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till evening. ^15:20And everything on which she has been resting, while she is kept separate, will be unclean, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean. ^15:21And anyone touching her bed will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:22And anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening. ^15:23Anyone touching anything on the bed or on the thing on which she has been seated, will be unclean till evening. ^15:24And if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean. ^15:25And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times. ^15:26Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way. ^15:27And anyone touching these things will be unclean, and his clothing will have to be washed and his body bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening. ^15:28But when her flow of blood is stopped, after seven days she will be clean. ^15:29And on the eighth day let her get two doves or two young pigeons and take them to the priest to the door of the Tent of meeting, ^15:30To be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering; and the priest will take away her sin before the Lord on account of her unclean condition. ^15:31In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them. ^15:32This is the law for the man who has a flow from his body, or whose seed goes from him so that he is unclean; ^15:33And for her who has a flow of blood, and for any man or woman who has an unclean flow, and for him who has sex relations with a woman when she is unclean.

^16:1And the Lord said to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron when they took in strange fire before the Lord and death overtook them; ^16:2The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark. ^16:3Let Aaron come into the holy place in this way: with an ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering. ^16:4Let him put on the holy linen coat, and the linen trousers on his body, and the linen band round him, and the linen head-dress on his head; for this is holy clothing, and before he puts them on his body is to be washed with water. ^16:5And let him take from the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering and one male sheep for a burned offering. ^16:6And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself, to make himself and his house free from sin. ^16:7And he is to take the two goats and put them before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting. ^16:8And Aaron will make selection from the two goats by the decision of the Lord, one goat for the Lord and one for Azazel. ^16:9And the goat which is marked out for the Lord, let Aaron give for a sin-offering. ^16:10But the goat for Azazel is to be placed living before the Lord, for the taking away of sin, that it may be sent away for Azazel into the waste land. ^16:11And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself and take away sin from himself and his house, and put to death the ox of the sin-offering which is for himself. ^16:12And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil; ^16:13And let him put the perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the ark may be covered with a cloud of the smoke of the perfume, in order that death may not overtake him. ^16:14And let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times. ^16:15Then let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark. ^16:16And let him make the holy place free from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel and from their wrongdoing in all their sins; and let him do the same for the Tent of meeting, which has its place among an unclean people. ^16:17And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin. ^16:18And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it; ^16:19Shaking drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel. ^16:20And when he has done whatever is necessary to make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin, let him put the living goat before the Lord; ^16:21And Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting there, into the waste land. ^16:22And the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will send the goat away into the waste land. ^16:23Then let Aaron come into the Tent of meeting and take off the linen clothing which he put on when he went into the holy place, and put them down there; ^16:24And after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people. ^16:25And the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar. ^16:26And the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle. ^16:27And the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be burned with fire. ^16:28And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle. ^16:29And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you: ^16:30For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be made free from all your sins before the Lord. ^16:31It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever. ^16:32And the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes: ^16:33And he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people. ^16:34And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

^17:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^17:2Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given. ^17:3If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle; ^17:4And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people: ^17:5So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord. ^17:6And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord. ^17:7And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations. ^17:8And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering, ^17:9And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people. ^17:10And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people. ^17:11For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it. ^17:12For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food. ^17:13And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth. ^17:14For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of. ^17:15And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean. ^17:16But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.

^18:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^18:2Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God. ^18:3You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules. ^18:4But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God. ^18:5So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord. ^18:6You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord. ^18:7You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her. ^18:8And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's. ^18:9You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country. ^18:10You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself; ^18:11Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister. ^18:12You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation. ^18:13You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation. ^18:14You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family; ^18:15Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her. ^18:16You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's. ^18:17You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame. ^18:18And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time. ^18:19And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time. ^18:20And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her. ^18:21And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord. ^18:22You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing. ^18:23And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act. ^18:24Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean: ^18:25And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it. ^18:26So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you: ^18:27(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;) ^18:28So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you. ^18:29For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people. ^18:30So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

^19:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^19:2Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy. ^19:3Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. ^19:4Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God. ^19:5And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord. ^19:6Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire. ^19:7If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord. ^19:8And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people. ^19:9And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain. ^19:10And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God. ^19:11Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another. ^19:12And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord. ^19:13Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning. ^19:14Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord. ^19:15Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness. ^19:16Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord. ^19:17Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil. ^19:18Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord. ^19:19Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth. ^19:20If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman. ^19:21Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing. ^19:22And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done. ^19:23And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food. ^19:24And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord. ^19:25But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God. ^19:26Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders. ^19:27The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off. ^19:28You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord. ^19:29Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame. ^19:30Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord. ^19:31Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God. ^19:32Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord. ^19:33And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him; ^19:34Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. ^19:35Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures. ^19:36Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt; ^19:37You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.

^20:1And the Lord said to Moses, ^20:2Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land; ^20:3And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common. ^20:4And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death, ^20:5Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people. ^20:6And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people. ^20:7So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God. ^20:8And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy. ^20:9Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him. ^20:10And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death. ^20:11And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them. ^20:12And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them. ^20:13And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them. ^20:14And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you. ^20:15And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction. ^20:16And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them. ^20:17And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him. ^20:18And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people. ^20:19And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them. ^20:20And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children. ^20:21And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children. ^20:22So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again. ^20:23And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them. ^20:24But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples. ^20:25So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you. ^20:26And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people. ^20:27Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.
