He is to present one from each grain offering, a separate offering to the LORD. It will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

223

This is the regulation concerning one who has an infectious skin disease but who cannot afford his cleansing."

224

He is to bring it to the priest. The priest is to take a handful as a memorial and burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD. It's a sin offering.

225

The priest is to burn it on the altar, a food offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat belongs to the LORD.

226

He is to do to this bull what he did to the bull for the sin offering. He is to do it this way so that the priest will make atonement for them and they will be forgiven.

227

The priest is to offer the memorial offering in smoke its crushed bits, olive oil, and frankincense as an offering by fire to the LORD."

228

"Whenever you bring a grain offering of first fruits to the LORD, bring fresh barley roasted in fire, young kernels crushed into bits. Bring the grain offering with your first fruits

229

"The presenter is then to present the gift as an offering made by fire to the LORD, that is, the fat that covers the internal organs, all the fat that is inside the internal organs,

231

"The presenter is then to bring a gift from the peace offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD. He is to remove the fat that covers the internal organs, all of the fat that is inside the internal organs,

232

Also, you are not to leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Otherwise, you'll die, since the LORD's anointing oil remains on you." So they followed Moses' instructions.

233

and then pour olive oil and frankincense over it as a grain offering.

234

So they approached to carry them in their tunics outside the camp, just as Moses had commanded.

235

You are not to do any work that same day. It's the Day of Atonement, because your atonement is made in the presence of the LORD your God.

236

He is to offer it in the LORD's presence and make atonement for her so that she becomes clean from her blood loss. This is the law concerning the bearing of a male or female child.

237

washed the internal organs and the thigh with water, and then burned the entire ram on the altar as a whole burnt offering, a pleasing aroma of an offering made by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

238

The priest will make atonement for him, on account of the sin that he had committed in any of these things and it will be forgiven him. As far as the priest is concerned, it will be a meal offering."

240

"If his offering is a goat, then he is to bring it to the LORD,

241

"Speak to the Israelis and tell them that if a person inadvertently sins with respect to any of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, but nevertheless he disobeys one of them,

242

Then the presenter is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. After this, Aaron's sons, the priests, are to sprinkle the blood on and around the altar.

243

However, you are not to slaughter a bull or a ewe along with its offspring on the same day.

244

The priest is to place oil from his palm on the right earlobe of the person being cleansed, on his right thumb, on his right great toe, and where the blood for the guilt offering is poured.

245

As for the burnt offering, they delivered it to Aaron piece by piece, and he burned the head on the altar,

246

the two kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the fatty mass that surrounds the liver and kidneys.

247

where the elders of the community are to lay their hands on the head of the bull in the LORD's presence and slaughter it.

249

As to the bull and its fat, skin, and offal, he incinerated them outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded him.

250

When the sin that they have committed becomes known, the entire congregation is to bring a young bull as a sin offering to the Tent of Meeting,

251

Anyone who doesn't humble himself that same day is to be eliminated from contact with his people.

252

"You are not to defile my sacred name, because I've been set apart in the midst of the Israelis. Furthermore, I am the LORD, who sets you apart

253

and Moses slaughtered it and poured its blood over and around the altar.

254

"When a ruler inadvertently sins, disobeying any one of the commands of the LORD his God that should not be violated, he will be guilty.

255

lay his hand over its head, then slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. After this, Aaron's sons are to sprinkle the blood on and around the altar.

256

"I am your God. I've separated you from the people. You are to differentiate between the clean animal and the unclean and between the unclean bird and the clean. You are not to make yourselves detestable on account of any animal, bird, or any creeping creature of the ground that I've separated for you as unclean.

257

If any of the meat of his sacrifice of peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it won't be accepted for the one who brought it. It is to be considered as refuse, and whoever eats it will bear the punishment of his iniquity."

258

"If any of the common people of the land inadvertently sins by disobeying one of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, he will be guilty.

259

The LORD told Moses from the middle of the Tent of Meeting,

260

As to the meat contained in his peace offerings, it is to be eaten on the day it is offered. Nothing of it is to remain until morning."

261

"This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to offer to the LORD the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of flour is to be offered throughout the day, half in the morning and half in the evening.

262

"When a person has touched a ceremonially unclean thing inadvertently, such as the carcass of an unclean animal, or some unclean creeping thing, he will be unclean and guilty nevertheless.

263

Then he clothed Aaron with the tunic, girded him with the band for priests, clothed him with the robe, placed the ephod on him, girded him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it on him.

264

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own censer, placed fire in it, covered it with incense, and brought it into the LORD's presence as unauthorized fire that he had never prescribed for them.

265

but whatever remains uneaten from the meat of the sacrifice by the third day is to be incinerated.

266

You are not to eat any form of blood in any of your dwellings, whether it's from birds or animals.

267

He is to compensate for whatever sin he had committed concerning the sacred things of the LORD, add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest. The priest is to make atonement for him with the ram as a sin offering and he'll be forgiven.

268

Then the priest is to dip his finger in the blood, sprinkle some of the blood seven times in front of the curtain in the LORD's presence,

269

then put blood on the horn of the altar near the Tent of Meeting in the LORD's presence. He is to pour the rest of the blood as a burnt offering at the base of the altar that is at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

270

Moses then slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, right thumb, and right great toe.

271

Every male of Aaron's sons is to eat it as a portion continually allotted for your generations from the offerings made by fire to the Lord. Anyone who touches them is to be holy."

272

washed the internal organs and thighs, and incinerated them on the altar, along with the whole burnt offering.

273

Then he is to bring the rest of the bull outside the camp and burn it just as he had burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the congregation."

275

The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons when they had approached the LORD and died.

276

Keep my statutes and my ordinances, which a person is to obey in order to live in them. I am the LORD.

277

As to the ram, he cut it into parts at the joints, burned the head, the internal organs, and the fat,

278

He is then to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered in the LORD's presence as a sin offering.

279

I'll destroy your high places and cut down your sun pillars. Then I'll cast your dead bodies on top of the bodies of your idols. I'll loathe you.

280

Any person who touches a ceremonially unclean thing whether the uncleanness pertains to human beings, animals, or to creeping things and then eats from the meat of peace offerings that belongs to the LORD is to be eliminated from contact with his people."

281

When a person has sworn inadvertently by what he has said, whether for evil or good, whatever it was that the person spoke, when he comes to understand what he said, he will incur guilt by one of these things.

282

The anointed priest is to take blood from the bull and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

284

He set the breastplate on him, placed the Urim and Thummim on top of the breastplate,

285

It's a Sabbath of rest for you on which you are to humble yourselves starting the evening of the ninth day of the month. You are to observe your Sabbath from evening to evening."

286

He put all of these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they all waved them in a raised offering to the LORD.

287

"If his sacrifice accompanies a fulfilled vow or is a voluntary offering, it is to be eaten on the day the offeror brings the sacrifice. Anything left over is to be eaten the next day,

288

When a person is guilty of one of these things, then he is to confess whatever sin it was

290

Aaron and his sons are to eat what remains of the unleavened offering at this sacred place the court of the Tent of Meeting.

291

"He is to bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, into the LORD's presence, where he is to lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter it in the LORD's presence.

292

Every garment (including leather) on which the semen is found is to be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.

293

"Take Aaron, his sons with him, the clothing, the anointing oil, the bull for sin offering, two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread

294

Set aside and consecrate the fiftieth year to declare liberty throughout the land for all of its inhabitants. It is to be a jubilee for you. Every person is to return to his own land that he has inherited. Likewise, every person is to return to his tribe.

295

It is not to be baked with leaven. I've given it as their portion out of my offerings made by fire. It's a most holy thing, like the sin and guilt offerings.

296

Moses brought the ram that is, the second of the rams for consecration. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

297

Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

298

"This is the regulation concerning guilt offerings. They are most holy.

299

He is to bring from the flock to the priest a ram without defect, estimated as to its value in silver shekels, as a guilt offering. Then the priest is to make atonement for him concerning his inadvertent act that he committed through ignorance, and it will be forgiven him.

300

Then he is to remove all the fat from the bull for a sin offering and burn it on the altar.

301

When the sin that he had committed is disclosed to him, he is to bring his offering: a male goat without defect.

302

Now a son of an Israeli woman and an Egyptian man went out among the Israelis. The Israeli woman's son got into a fight with an Israeli man in the camp.

303

But the person who eats meat from the sacrifice that belongs to the LORD, while still affected by his uncleanness, is to be eliminated from contact with his people.

304

"Tell the Israelis, "You are not to eat the fat of an ox, a lamb, or a goat.

305

Then he took the fat from the tail, all the fat on the internal organs, the appendage of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat, and the right thigh.

306

When he inadvertently touches the uncleanness of a human being, whatever his uncleanness that made him unclean may be, when he himself comes to know about it, he will be guilty.

307

He brought the people's offering, presenting a goat for a sin offering on behalf of the people. He slaughtered it and offered it as the first sin offering.

308

He is to burn all the fat on the altar as is done for the fat for the sacrifice of a peace offering. This is how the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin. It will be forgiven him."

309

When a man has sexual relations with her and her menstrual uncleanness touches him, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed where he sleeps will remain unclean.

310

Then Moses brought Aaron's sons, took some of the ram's blood, put it on their right earlobes, on their right thumbs, and on their right great toes, and then poured the blood on the altar and all around it.

311

Then the priest is to take blood from the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horn of the altar that is used for burnt offerings, and then pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar that is used for burnt offerings.

312

Eight days later, Moses called Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel.

313

When the sin that he committed is disclosed to him, he is to bring his offering for his sin that he had committed: a female goat without defect.

314

After this, Moses took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar over the whole burnt offering for consecration. They served as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

315

"When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to completely finish harvesting the corners of the field that is, you are not to pick what remains after you have reaped your harvest.

316

and then assemble the entire congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting."

317

"Meat that comes in contact with a ceremonially unclean thing is not to be eaten. Incinerate it instead. As for ceremonially clean meat, anyone who is clean may eat it.

318

Now as to his guilt offering, he is to bring to the LORD a ram without defect from the flock, estimated as to its value, to the priest.

319

From the basket of unleavened bread that is in the LORD'S presence he took one piece of unleavened bread, one cake spread with olive oil, and one wafer, which he placed over the fat and the right thigh.

320

Then he told Aaron and his sons, "Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. You may eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket for consecration, just as I've commanded when I told him, "Aaron and his sons may eat of it,

321

Whoever touches its meat will be holy. If some of its blood sprinkles on a garment, wash where it was sprinkled in a sacred place.

322

"This is to be a perpetual statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you (including both the native born and the resident alien) are to humble yourselves by not doing any work,

323

Then the LORD told Moses,

324

Next, he brought the grain offering, filled his hand with it, and burned it on the altar next to the burnt offering for that morning.

325

It's a sin offering for his guilt in the LORD's presence."

326

or the thing about which he had given a false oath. He is to restore it in full, add a fifth to it, then give it to whom it belongs the very day he's found guilty.

327

He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place for burnt offering.

328

He slaughtered the ox and ram for the peace offering sacrifice on behalf of the people. Aaron's sons delivered the blood to him, which he poured on the altar and around it.

331

The LORD told Moses,

332

A fire came down from the LORD's presence and consumed the burnt offering on the altar as well as the fat. When the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

333

Moses took some anointing oil and blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his clothes, on his sons, and on their clothes, consecrating Aaron, his clothes, his sons, and their clothes.

334

Then the priest is to take blood with his finger, put it on the horn of the altar that is used for burnt offerings, and then pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

335

because I, the LORD, am your God. Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I am holy. You are not to defile yourselves with any of the swarming creatures that swarm the earth.

336

The carcass of an animal that died of its own and an animal torn by wild beast may be used for any purpose except for eating.

337

So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him. He assembled the congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

338

The LORD spoke to Moses,

339

Then he brought the whole burnt offering and offered it according to procedure.

340

"If a resident alien lives with you in your land, you are not to mistreat him.

341

"Moreover, a man or a woman who has a ritual spirit or a familiar spirit is certainly to die. They are to be stoned to death with boulders. They will continue to bear responsibility for their guilt."

342

"If a man takes a wife along with her mother, that's wickedness. They are to be burned with fire that is, both him and them, so that there will be no wickedness in your midst.

343

If that person has sinned and has been found guilty, then he is to return the stolen thing that he took or obtained by oppression, or the security that had been entrusted to him, or the lost thing that he had found,

344

if he has found something that had been lost and then lied about it, or if he makes a false oath about any of these things, thus committing a sin with respect to these things.

345

Any person who eats any form of blood is to be eliminated from contact with his people.'"

346

Moses told the congregation, "This is what the LORD commanded to be done."

347

If the raw flesh recurs and turns white, then he is to go to the priest.

348

He is to bring the offering made by fire with his own hands to the LORD. He is to bring the fat with the breast, since the breast is to be waved as a raised offering to the LORD.

349

Moses took the breast and waved it as a raised offering in the LORD's presence as the portion that belonged to Moses from the ram of consecration, just as the LORD had commanded him.

350

Every grain offering from a priest is to be burned whole. It is not to be eaten."

352

"Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the regulation concerning sin offerings: Slaughter the sin offering in the same place where the whole burnt offering is slaughtered in the LORD's presence. It's a most holy thing.

353

"Starting the day after the Sabbath, count for yourselves seven weeks from the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. They are to be complete.

354

"I'll scatter you among the nations and draw the sword after you so that your land becomes desolate and your towns become ruins.

355

The guilt offering is to be offered in the same place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. The priest is to sprinkle some of its blood on the altar and around it.

356

The priest who offers it as a sin offering is to eat it at a sacred place in the court of the Tent of Meeting.

358

The earthen vessel in which it was boiled is to be broken, unless it was boiled in a bronze vessel, in which case it is to be polished very well and rinsed in water.

359

Moses told all of this to Aaron, to his sons, and to all the Israelis.

360

and then he is to eviscerate it and throw the viscera and the feathers to the east side of the altar, where the fatty ashes are located.

361

The priest is to offer both the whole burnt and the grain offerings on the altar. After the priest makes atonement for him, he will be clean."

362

"You are not to cut your hair in ritualistic patterns on your head or deface the edges of your beard.

363

"Therefore, keep my statutes and ordinances. You are not to do any of these detestable things this applies to the native born and the resident alien who lives among you

364

I'll make the land so desolate that your enemies who live in it will be astonished."

366

because the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD is certainly to be put to death. The entire congregation is to stone him to death. As it is for the resident alien, so it is to be with the native born: when he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death.

367

"They are not to marry a prostitute or a woman who has been dishonored or who was divorced from her husband, because the priest is holy to his God.

368

The LORD spoke to Moses,

369

Aaron raised his hand toward the people and blessed them. Then he came down from the altar after offering the sin, whole burnt, and peace offerings.

370

"Tell the Israelis that whoever brings a peace offering sacrifice to the LORD is to bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

371

Every male among the priests is to eat it. It's a most sacred thing.

372

Anyone who eats the fat of an animal that has been offered by fire to the LORD is to be eliminated from contact with his people.

373

Any sin offering from which its blood was brought to the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the sacred place is not to be eaten. Instead, it is to be incinerated."

374

"You are not to hate your relative in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor if you must, but you are not to incur guilt on account of him.

375

"However, on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It's a sacred assembly for you. Humble yourselves and bring an offering made by fire to the LORD.

376

Then the priest is to offer them on the altar, incinerating them with fire as a guilt offering to the LORD.

377

But on the fifth year, you may eat its fruits to increase its produce for you."

378

Any male among the priests may eat it, provided that it is eaten at a sacred place as a most holy thing.

379

The law for the sin offering is the same as the guilt offering. It belongs to the priest who made atonement with it.

380

The LORD told Moses on Mount Sinai,

381

But the two kidneys, the fat over them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver are to be taken away, along with the kidneys.

383

As to the fat from the ox and the ram the tail, the fat covering the kidneys, and the appendage of the liver

385

"But if you won't listen to me and obey all these commands,

386

"If you live by my statutes, obey my commands, and observe them,

388

"You are not to defile your daughter by engaging her in prostitution so the land won't become filled with wickedness.

390

When a man has sexual relations with a woman and the man releases semen, both are to bathe with water, and they will remain unclean until evening."

391

Then he is to slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughtered the sin and burnt offerings that is, at a place in the sanctuary. Just as the sin offering is for the priest, so also is the guilt offering. It's a most holy thing.

392

Moses and Aaron entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

393

As to all its fat that is, the fat on the tail and the fat covering the internal organs the one presenting the sacrifice is to offer it.

394

they placed the fat on the breast and burned the fat on the altar.

395

The priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

396

"If your relative becomes so poor that he is indebted to you, then you are to support him. You are to let him live with you just like the resident alien and the traveler.

397

and the pig (because it has divided hooves and is therefore cloven-footed, but it doesn't ruminate its cud, it is to be unclean for you).

399

"Count for yourselves seven years of Sabbaths seven times seven years. This set of seven weeks of years total 49 years for you.

401

The LORD told Moses,

402

Moses then told Aaron, "Approach the altar and bring your sin and whole burnt offerings. Make atonement for yourself and the people. Then bring the people's offering and make atonement for them, as the LORD commanded."

403

But if it's not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house next to which is a wall is to belong in perpetuity to the one who bought it throughout his generations. It is not to be returned in the jubilee.

406

"Tell the Israelis that starting the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the week-long Festival of Tents to the LORD.

407

When the priest examines him and finds that the skin rash has indeed turned white, then the priest is to declare the one with the skin rash clean, and he will be clean."

408

"Tell the Israelis that on the first day of the seventh month you are to have a Sabbath of rest for you a memorial announced by a loud blast of trumpets. It is to be a sacred assembly.

409

if his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to bring a male without any defect. He is to present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. At the appointed time, it is to be presented in the presence of the LORD so that he may be accepted.

410

The person who is clean is to wash his clothes, shave all his hair, and bathe in water, after which he is to be declared clean. Then he can be brought back to the camp, but he is to remain outside his tent for seven days.

411

"You are not to be unjust in deciding a case. You are not to show partiality to the poor or honor the great. Instead, decide the case of your neighbor with righteousness."

412

has scoliosis, is a dwarf, or has an eye defect, an itching disease, scabs, or a crushed testicle.

413

He also told the Israelis, "Bring a male goat for a sin offering, a calf, a year old lamb without defect for a whole burnt offering,

414

The LORD told Moses, "Speak to the priests, Aaron's sons, and tell them that no priest is to defile himself on account of the dead among his people,

415

"When a woman has a discharge, and the blood is her monthly menstrual discharge from her body, then for seven days she is to remain in her menstrual uncleanness. Whoever touches her will remain unclean until evening.

416

"If the contagion returns and spreads throughout the house after the stones have been removed, after the house has been scraped out, and after it has been re-coated,

417

The LORD spoke to Moses,

418

He told Aaron, "Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram without defect for a whole burnt offering and bring them into the LORD's presence."

421

Then Moses said, "This is what the LORD commanded you to do so that the glory of the LORD may be revealed to you."

422

"You are not to go around slandering your people. "You are not to stand idle when your neighbor's life is at stake. I am the LORD.

423

This is how the priest is to present the sin offering to make atonement for the person being cleansed of his impurity. After this, he is to slaughter the whole burnt offering.

424

Aaron waved the breast and the right thigh as a raised offering in the LORD's presence, just as Moses had commanded.

425

The LORD told Moses, "Remind your brother Aaron that at no time is he to enter the sacred place from the room that contains the curtain into the presence of the Mercy Seat on top of the ark. Otherwise, he'll die, because I will appear in a cloud at the Mercy Seat.

426

The LORD told Moses,

427

"Tell the Israelis that when an Israeli or a resident alien who lives in Israel offers his child to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death. The people who live in the land are to stone him with stones.

428

"Now if the daughter of any priest defiles herself by being a prostitute, she defiles her father. She is to be incinerated.

429

Anyone who touches her bed is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

430

an ox, a ram for a peace offering to sacrifice in the LORD's presence, and a grain offering with olive oil, because on that day the LORD will appear to you."

431

"When someone is infected with a boil, but after it's healed,

432

So Aaron drew near to the altar and slaughtered the calf for a sin offering on behalf of himself.

433

"On the first day, take branches from impressive fruit trees, branches from palm trees, boughs from thick trees, and poplars from the brooks. Then you are to rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God for seven days.

434

Six days you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work. It's a Sabbath to the LORD wherever you live.

435

So they brought what Moses had commanded to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The entire congregation drew near and stood in the LORD's presence.

438

Aaron is to cast lots over the two male goats one lot for the LORD and the other one for the scapegoat.

439

They are no longer to slaughter their sacrifices to the goat demons, with whom they have been committing prostitution. This will be a perpetual statute for you throughout your generations.

440

Next, Aaron's sons brought the blood to him and he dipped his fingers in the blood and placed it on the horns of the altar. As to the rest of the blood, he poured it at the base of the altar.

441

"If anyone from the house of Israel or a resident alien who lives among you eats any form of blood, I'll oppose that person who ate the blood and eliminate him from his people,

442

"Tell Aaron and his sons that they are to separate themselves for the sacred things of the Israelis and that they are not to defile my holy name. I am the LORD.

443

These are the LORD's appointed festivals and sacred assemblies that you are to declare at their appointed time.

444

"If a man has sexual relations with his father's wife, he has exposed his father's nakedness, so both of them are to be put to death. Their guilt will remain their responsibility.

445

"Whenever a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it is to remain for seven days under the care of its mother. But on the eighth day onwards, it may be accepted as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

446

"You are not to make worthless idols, images, or pillars for yourselves, nor set up for yourselves carved images to bow down to them in the land, because I am the LORD your God.

447

You are not to do what you used to do in the land of Egypt where you lived. You are not to do what Canaan does, where I'm about to bring you, so that you live according to their statutes.

448

Furthermore, when you harvest the produce of your land, you are not to harvest all the way to the corners of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and resident alien. I am the LORD your God."

449

"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you've harvested the produce of the land, you are to observe the festival of the LORD for seven days. The first day is to be a Sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is to be a Sabbath rest.

450

"These are detestable things for you among winged creatures that you are not to eat, because they are detestable for you: the eagle, vulture, osprey,

451

"If your brother with you becomes so poor that he sells himself to you, you are not to make him serve like a bond slave.

452

However, the houses in the villages that don't have walls around them are to be categorized along with the fields of the land they may be redeemed and returned in the jubilee.

453

The LORD said this to Moses and Aaron:

454

"Tell the Israelis that when you enter the land that I'm about to give you and gather its produce, you are to bring a sheaf from the first portion of your harvest to the priest,

455

Also, the open land of their cities is not to be sold, because it is to remain their perpetual inheritance."

457

Then the land will finally be pleased with its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time, the land will rest and take its Sabbaths.

459

Nevertheless, the cities that belong to the descendants of Levi that is, the houses in the cities that belong to them are to belong to the descendants of Levi perpetually as part of their right of redemption.

460

The LORD told Moses,

461

"If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he is to be put to death, and you are also to kill the animal.

463

All the tithes from cattle and flocks that pass under the measuring rod are sacred to the LORD.

464

On the fifteenth day of that month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread.

465

"The LORD's Passover is to begin on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight.

466

"If a man has sexual relations with a menstruating woman, he has exposed her nakedness, laying bare her fountain. He has exposed the source of her blood. Both are to be eliminated from contact with their people.

467

You are not to gather your vineyard or pick up the fallen grapes of your vineyard. Leave something for the poor and the resident alien who lives among you. I am the LORD your God."

468

in place of the boil there remains a white swelling or a bright, white-reddish spot, he is to present himself to the priest.

469

If he has been healed, then the priest is to command that two live and clean birds, some cedar wood, some crimson thread, and hyssop be brought for the one cleansed.

470

"Tell the Israelis that I am the LORD your God.

472

These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures, so anyone who touches them when they're dead becomes unclean until evening.

473

The one who sent away the male goat as a scapegoat is to wash his clothes and bathe his body with water. After doing so, he may enter the camp.

474

"Tell the Israelis that these are my festival times appointed by the LORD that you are to declare as sacred assemblies:

475

The LORD told Moses,

476

"Tell the Israelis that when you enter the land that I'm about to give you, you are to let the land observe a Sabbath to the LORD.

477

But if a person wishes to redeem his tithe, he is to add a fifth to it.

478

When the priest undertakes his examination and finds that it appears more extensive than skin deep and that its hair has turned white, then the priest is to declare him unclean, since an infectious skin disease has flourished in the boil.

479

Everything that she sleeps on during her uncleanness will be unclean. Moreover, everything that she sits on will become unclean.

480

"So separate the Israelis from their uncleanness so that they won't die in their uncleanness if they defile my tent that is in their midst.

481

Then he is to make atonement on the sacred place on account of the uncleanness of the Israelis, their transgressions, and all their sins. This is how he is to act in the Tent of Meeting, which will remain with them in the middle of their uncleanness.

482

Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth just as he had caused a disfigurement against another man, so it is to be done against him.

483

If someone from the descendants of Levi redeems the houses in the cities that they own, they are to be returned in the jubilee, because the houses of the cities of the descendants of Levi are to remain their property among the Israelis.

484

I'll eliminate anyone who does work that day from among his people.

485

You are not to take interest or profit from him. Instead, you are to fear your God and let your relative live with you.

486

"When a person has a swelling or a scab in the skin on his body that turns white in appearance and appears to be more extensive than skin deep, he is to be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons among the priests.

487

Put pure frankincense on each row for a memorial offering. It will serve as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

488

"If a person sells a residential house in a walled city, he is to redeem it within the year in which it was sold. He may have right to its redemption for a full year.

489

"The priest is to command that the house be cleared before he comes to examine the contagion so that not everything in the house becomes unclean. After this, the priest is to enter the house and examine it.

490

Sound a horn on the tenth day of the seventh month of this fiftieth year. Likewise, on the Day of Atonement, sound the horn throughout your land.

491

"The high priest among his relatives whose head has been anointed with oil and who has been consecrated to put on the priestly clothing is not to let his hair hang loose or to tear his clothes.

492

You are not to do any work. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations, wherever you live.

493

You are to maintain just balances and reliable standards for weights, dry volumes, and liquid volumes. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

495

"They are not to cut their hair in ritualistic patterns on their heads, deface the edges of their beards, or make incisions in their flesh.

496

"If a resident alien or traveler becomes rich, but your relative who lives next to him is so poor that he sells himself to that resident alien or traveler among you or to a member of the resident alien's family,

497

then I will certainly do this to you: I'll appoint sudden terror to infect you like tuberculosis and fever. Your eyes will fail and your life will waste away. You'll plant in vain, because your enemies will consume what you plant.

498

The LORD spoke to Moses,

499

You are not to loan him money with interest or sell him your food at a profit.

500

I'll set up my tent in your midst and I won't loathe you.

501

"You are not to have sexual relations with your father's wife. It's your own father's nakedness.

502

because the life of any flesh is the blood itself. Therefore, I'm saying to the Israelis that the blood of any flesh is not to be eaten, because the life of any flesh is in its blood. Anyone who eats of it is to be eliminated from contact with his people.

503

The LORD told Moses and Aaron,

504

"If your brother becomes so poor that he has to a sell portion of his inheritance, then his nearest kinsman redeemer is to come and redeem what his brother has sold.

505

"As for the remnants among you, I'll bring despair in their hearts in the land of their enemies so that even the sound of a blown leaf will chase them and they flee as though pursued by the sword and fall when no one is pursuing.

506

"This is the law concerning those who have infectious skin diseases, after they have been cleansed:

507

He is to wear a sacred linen tunic and linen undergarments that will cover his genitals. He is to clothe himself with a sash and wrap his head with a linen turban. Because they are sacred garments, he is to wash himself with water before putting them on."

508

"If a person from the house of Israel or a resident alien who lives among you has hunted live game or a bird that may be eaten, he is to extract its blood and cover it with soil,

509

The LORD told Moses,

510

"Tell Aaron that whoever of your descendants throughout their generations has a bodily defect is not to approach to offer the food of his God.

511

"If, despite all of this, you still don't listen to me, then I'll punish you seven times more on account of your sins.

512

These are the commands that the LORD commanded Moses to deliver to the Israelis on Mount Sinai.

513

"He is to slaughter the male goat as a sin offering for the people and bring its blood beyond the curtain and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He is to sprinkle it on the Mercy Seat that is, over the surface of the Mercy Seat.

514

If the priest undertakes an examination, but there's no white hair in it and it's not more extensive than skin deep, but it's dull, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.

516

Observe it as a pilgrimage festival in the presence of the LORD for seven days of the year. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. Observe the festival during the seventh month.

517

Then the Israeli woman's son blasphemed the Name and cursed, so they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.

518

The male goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat is to be brought alive into the LORD's presence to make atonement for himself. Then he is to send it into the wilderness."

519

I'll break your mighty pride. I'll make the heavens to be like iron and the ground like bronze.

520

"Tell the Israelis that they are to bring to you pure oil made from beaten olives in order to keep the lamp burning continuously.

521

"On the eighth day, he is to take two lambs without defect, a one year old ewe lamb without defect, one third of a measure of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a meal offering, and one log of oil.

522

"When a woman has a continuous discharge of blood many days beyond the time of her menstrual uncleanness, or if she has a discharge that lasts beyond the days of her menstrual uncleanness, her uncleanness is to be treated like the days of her menstruation she's unclean.

523

If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also.

524

"If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, so that he exposes her nakedness and she exposes his nakedness, it's a shameful thing. They are to be eliminated from contact with their people in front of their people's children. He has exposed his sister's nakedness. He'll continue to bear responsibility for his iniquity.

525

"He is to take two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a whole burnt offering from the assembly of the Israelis.

526

in addition to the LORD's Sabbath regarding your gifts, your offerings in fulfillment of vows, and your freely given offerings that you will bring to the LORD.

527

"If a man has sexual relations with his daughter-in-law, the two are to be put to death. They've committed a repulsive act. Their guilt will remain their responsibility.

528

The person with the infectious skin disease is to tear his garments and loosen his hair. He is to cover his mustache and shout out, "Unclean! Unclean!'

529

"You are not to turn to their idols or cast gods out of melted metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

530

"Tell the Israelis that when a man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean,

531

For seven days, bring offerings made by fire to the LORD. The eighth day is also to be a sacred assembly for you. Bring offerings made by fire to the LORD. It's a sacred assembly. You are not to do any servile work.

532

Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath, then bring a new meal offering to the LORD.

533

"When you enter the land of Canaan that I'm about to give you as your own possession, and if I put a contagion in a house in the land that you possess,

534

You are to live in tents for seven days. Every native born of Israel is to live in tents

536

Then he is to take a censer and fill it with coals from the fire on the altar in the LORD's presence. With his hands full of spiced and refined incense, he is to bring it beyond the curtain.

537

You are to have for yourselves consistent procedures in deciding a case. As it is for the resident alien, so it is for the native born. I am the LORD your God."

538

Anyone who touches any of the objects on which she has sat is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

539

Then he is to take the lamb for the guilt offering and place some blood from the guilt offering on the right earlobe of the person to be cleansed, on his right thumb, and on his right great toe.

540

He is not to examine it to see if it's good or bad or even exchange it. If he does exchange it, what has been exchanged as well as its substitute is sacred. It is not to be redeemed."

541

"When the one with the discharge is cleansed from his discharge, then he is to set aside for himself seven days for his cleansing. He is to wash his clothes and bathe with flowing water. Then he will be clean.

542

He is to determine if the contagion is indeed on the walls of the house, with greenish or reddish streaks, and to determine if it appears to be deeper than the surface of the wall.

543

But the seventh year is to be a Sabbath of rest for the land a Sabbath for the LORD. You are not to plant your field or prune your vineyard.

544

I am the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You are to be holy, because I am holy.

545

As for me, I'll oppose that man. I'll eliminate him from contact with his people for sacrificing his children to Molech, thereby defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name.

546

Bring two loaves of bread from home as wave offerings made from two tenths of fine flour baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD.

547

who will offer the sheaf in the LORD's presence for your acceptance. The priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

548

Obey my ordinances and keep my statutes by living by them. I am the LORD your God.

549

Yet, despite all of these things, when they're in the land of their enemies, I won't reject or despise them so as to completely destroy them and by doing so violate my covenant with them, because I am the LORD their God.

550

The priest is to examine the skin rash on the body. If the hair on the skin rash has turned white and its appearance is deeper than the skin of his body, it's an infectious skin disease. When the priest has examined it, then he is to declare him unclean.

551

"You are not to have sexual relations with your brother's wife. She's the nakedness of your brother.

552

"When clothing becomes infected with a contagion whether the clothing is wool or linen

553

Aaron is to enter the sacred place with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a whole burnt offering.

554

"You are not to have sexual relations with your sister, whether she's your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she's born in your home or outside your home. You are not to have sexual relations with her.

555

I'll give peace in the land so that you'll lie down without fear. I'll remove wild beasts from the land, and not even war will come to your land.

556

This is what Moses spoke about to the Israelis regarding the LORD's appointed festivals.

557

You are not to eat bread, parched grain, or fresh grain until that day when you've brought the offering of your God. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations, wherever you live."

558

For six years you may plant your fields, and for six years you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce.

559

Then he is to take the two male goats and present them in the LORD's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

560

Instead, he is to serve with you like a hired servant or a traveler who lives with you, until the year of jubilee.

561

When he goes to the altar in the LORD's presence to make atonement for himself, he is to take some of the blood from the bull and the male goat, place it around the horns of the altar,

562

then I'll send your rain in its season so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.

563

They are to be arranged every Sabbath day in the LORD's presence as a gift from the Israelis an eternal covenant.

564

"Take the one who cursed outside the camp. Everyone who heard him is to lay their hands on his head. Then the entire congregation is to stone him to death.

565

"If a woman approaches any animal to have sexual relations with it, both the woman and the animal are to be put to death. Their guilt will remain their responsibility.

566

"Neither your father's nakedness nor your mother's nakedness is to be exposed. She's your mother, so you are not to have sexual relations with her.

567

He is to sprinkle the blood seven times on the person with the infectious skin disease and then pronounce him clean. Then he is to release the live bird into the open fields.

568

He is to take blood from the ox and sprinkle it with his forefinger toward the surface of the Mercy Seat. Then he is to sprinkle the blood on the surface of the Mercy Seat with his forefinger seven times.

569

"Any person who eats a carcass or an animal that was torn by beasts (whether that person is native born or is a resident alien), is to wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and he will remain unclean until evening, and then he'll become clean.

570

When a person from the house of Israel slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat (whether in the camp or outside the camp),

571

"You are not to have sexual relations with your mother's sister or your father's sister, because that is laying bare the nakedness of his close relative. They'll continue to bear responsibility for their iniquity.

572

As long as it lies desolate, it will have rest that it will not have had during your Sabbaths when you were living in it.

573

The priest is to examine it. If it is, indeed, a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white, and yet it sustains live flesh on the swelling,

574

Keep my statutes and observe them. I am the LORD, who has set you apart."

575

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you will no longer be their slaves, since I've broken their oppressive yoke upon you to make you walk upright."

576

"The bull for the sin offering and the male goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the sacred place, are to be taken outside the camp. Their skin, meat, and offal are to be incinerated.

577

The one who burns them is to wash his clothes and bathe his body with water. After doing so, he may enter the camp."

578

They are to be holy to their God. They are not to defile the name of their God, because they're the ones who bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire the food of their God so they are to be holy.

579

If the scab remains in place and doesn't spread, then it's the scab from the boil. The priest is to declare him clean."

580

On the first day, you are to hold a sacred assembly, when you are not to do any servile work.

581

You may give them as inherited property to your children after you, to own as properties in perpetuity. You may make bond slaves of them, but no one is to rule over his fellow Israeli with harshness.

582

The LORD told Moses,

583

I'll send wild beasts against you from the open country to deprive you of your children, destroy your cattle, and decrease your number so that your roads become desolate.

585

So if you had sold property to a neighbor or had acquired land from your neighbor, you are not to cheat one another.

586

"If you live life contrary to me and remain unwilling to listen to me, then I'll add to your wounds seven times more on account of your sins.

587

This is why I've told the Israelis that no person among you is to eat blood. Even the resident alien who lives among you is not to eat blood.

588

"On the same day, proclaim a sacred assembly for yourselves. You are not to do any servile work and this is to be an eternal ordinance wherever you live throughout your generations.

589

Any bed or other object on which she sat that he touches will make him unclean until evening.

590

If one of Aaron's descendants has an infectious skin disease or a discharge, he is not to eat anything sacred until he has been cleansed. Anyone who touches an unclean thing on account of the dead, or who has a seminal discharge,

591

They'll stumble over each other as though fleeing before the sword, even though no one is pursuing.

592

Whoever has slept in the house is to wash his clothes, along with whoever has eaten in the house.

593

then I'll remember my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham. I'll also remember the land.

594

The fiftieth year is to be a year of jubilee for you. You are not to sow or harvest the spilled kernels that grow of themselves or pick grapes from the untrimmed vines

595

"If she becomes clean with her discharge, then she is to count for herself seven days, after which she becomes clean.

596

Whoever touches them will become unclean. He is to wash his clothes and bathe with water and he will remain unclean until evening.

597

Every bed on which she sleeps the whole time she has the discharge will be her own unclean bed, so that every object on which she sits becomes unclean like her menstrual uncleanness.

598

"Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelis and tell them that this is what the LORD has commanded:

599

It is to be eaten that same day. You are not to leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.

600

"If a person consecrates to the LORD a portion of the field from his inheritance, then your valuation is to be based on its capacity for yielding a harvest. Each omer of barley is to be valued at 50 shekels of silver.

601

When the priest examines it on the seventh day and finds that it has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest is to declare him unclean. It's an infectious skin disease.

602

On the seventh day, he is to shave the hair on his head, chin, back, and eyebrows. After he has shaved all his hair, washed his clothes, and bathed himself with water, then he will be clean."

603

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD made between himself and the Israelis on Mount Sinai, as recorded by the hand of Moses.

604

who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD."

605

Then Aaron is to bring the bull as a sin offering for himself and make atonement for himself and his household.

606

if when the priest examines the skin rash and indeed it appears more extensive than skin deep, and it's accompanied by fine, yellowish hair, then the priest is to declare him unclean. The scales on the head or the beard are an infectious skin disease.

607

No one is to cheat his neighbor. Instead, you are to fear your God, because I am the LORD your God.

608

Since they're my servants whom I've brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.

609

Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin,

610

Indeed, any person who has a defect is not to approach the Tent of Meeting the blind, the lame, one who is mutilated in the face or who has a very long limb,

611

Then the priest is to offer one for a sin offering and the other for a whole burnt offering. This is how the priest will make atonement in the LORD's presence for her regarding her unclean discharge.

612

I'll bring the sword against you to execute the vengeance of my covenant. When you gather in your cities, I'll send a pestilence. As a result, you'll be delivered into the control of your enemies.

613

He is to take the live bird, the cedar wood, the crimson thread, and the hyssop, and dip them together in the blood of the bird that had been slaughtered over the flowing water.

614

"Tell the Israelis that when a person makes a special vow based on the appropriate value of people who belong to the LORD,

615

Then the priest is to command that one bird be slaughtered on an earthen vessel over flowing water.

616

but fails to bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting as an offering in the presence of the tent of the LORD, that person will incur bloodguilt. Because he has shed blood, that person is to be eliminated from contact with his people."

617

Five of you will chase a hundred, a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

618

"If a person brings a peace offering sacrifice to the LORD to fulfill a vow or a free will offering from the herd or the flock, it is to be sound in order to be accepted, without any defect in it.

619

"During this year of jubilee, each person is to return to his own land that he has inherited.

620

"You are not to have sexual relations with your father's sister. She's your father's near blood relative.

621

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

622

You are not to bring to the LORD an offering that is blind, fractured, mutilated, or infected with ulcers, scurvy, or scales. You are not to present any of them as an offering made by fire on the altar for the LORD.

623

They will leave the land so it can rest while it lies desolate without them. That's when they'll receive the punishment of their iniquity, because indeed they will have rejected my ordinances and despised my statutes.

624

"Observe my statutes and keep my ordinances. Do them so that you may live securely in the land.

625

"You are not to have sexual relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter. You are not to have sexual relations with them, because their nakedness is your own nakedness.

626

"When a person has a burn scar in the skin that turns bright, white-reddish, or white,

627

"Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelis that when a person from the house of Israel or from the resident aliens living in Israel brings his offering to the LORD as a whole burnt offering (whether in fulfillment of a promise or a free will offerings),

628

if the priest examines it and indeed the hair has turned white with a white spot appearing more extensive than skin deep, it's an infectious skin disease with a burn scar that has spread. The priest is to declare him unclean. It's an infectious skin disease.

629

Also present a meal offering of two tenths of a measure of fine flour mixed with olive oil as an offering made by fire to the LORD, a pleasing aroma. Now as to a drink offering, you are to present a fourth of a hin of wine.

630

On the eighth day, she is to take for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

631

"These are the LORD's appointed festivals that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. Bring offerings made by fire to the LORD a whole burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings. Do this every day on its assigned date

632

But if the priest examines it and discovers that there's no bright area or white hair, or if he discovers that it's not more extensive than skin deep and it's dull, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.

633

"Aaron is then to bring the bull for a sin offering for himself, thus making atonement for himself and his household. He is to slaughter the ox for himself.

634

Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening. Whoever carries these things is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

635

Observe all my statutes and all my ordinances in order to practice them. I am the LORD."

636

and if you refuse my statutes, loathe my ordinances, and fail to carry out all of my commands, thereby breaching my covenant,

637

Instead, on account of them, I'll remember my covenant with their ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt right before the eyes of the nations, so that I could be their God. I am the LORD."

638

Tell them that if a person from the house of Israel or a resident alien who lives among you brings a whole burnt offering or a sacrifice

639

"You are not to have sexual relations with a woman and her daughter. "You are not to have sexual relations with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They're near blood relatives. It's wickedness.

640

"If, despite these things, you still won't return to me, but live life contrary to me,

641

Any person who touches his bed is to wash his garments and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

642

"If a person consecrates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest is to set a value for it as to its worth, whether good or bad. As the priest sets value on it, so it will stand.

643

But if the infection has spread in the skin, then the priest is to declare him unclean. It's a skin rash.

644

for her whose menstruation causes her to become ill, for anyone who has a discharge (whether male or female), and for the man who has sexual relations with one who is unclean."

646

"A spring or a cistern that holds water is clean, but whoever touches the carcass of an unclean animal will be unclean.

647

"Any food that may be eaten, but into which water has soaked, becomes unclean. Any drink that may be drunk in any of these vessels becomes unclean,

648

but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it life for life.

649

These are the regulations for one whose discharge of semen causes him to become unclean because of it,

650

Later on, the LORD told Moses,

651

Any earthen vessel into which any of these things fall becomes unclean, along with everything in it. You are to destroy it, along with all its contents."

652

Furthermore, you are not to go out past the entrance to the Tent of Meeting until the days of your ordination have been completed, since it will take seven days to ordain you.

653

You are not to gather what grows from the spilled kernels of your crops. You are not to pick the grapes of your untrimmed vines. Let it be a year of Sabbath for the land.

654

Anyone who eats it will bear the punishment of his sin, since he will have defiled himself regarding the LORD's holy things. That person is to be eliminated from contact with his people."

655

I'll set my face against you so that you'll be defeated before your enemies. Those who hate you will have dominion over you and you'll keep fleeing even when no one is pursuing you.

656

You may also buy from resident aliens who live among you and their families who are with you, whom they fathered in your land. They may become your property.

657

"Anyone whom the one with the discharge touches without rinsing his hands with water is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

658

He is not to marry a widow or one who has been divorced, has been defiled, or has been a prostitute. Instead, he is to take a virgin from among his people as his wife.

659

then I'll oppose that man and his family and eliminate him from contact with his people, along with all the prostitutes who accompany him and who have committed prostitution with Molech."

660

But when the priest examines the scales of the skin rash and it doesn't appear more extensive than skin deep and there's no black hair in it, then the priest is to isolate him for seven days.

661

and this is the cause of his uncleanness his discharge. Whether his body is releasing the discharge or his body has stopped the discharge, he's unclean.

662

You may take the Sabbath produce of the land for your food you, your male and maid servants, your hired laborers, and the resident alien with you.

663

The whole time that the skin rash infects him, he will be unclean. He is to live by himself in a home outside the encampment."

664

Then the LORD spoke to Moses,

665

"Any saddle that anyone with a discharge rides on will become unclean.

666

then he is to be shaven, but the scab is not to be shaved off. The priest is to isolate him a second time for seven days.

667

"You are not to have sexual relations with the daughter of your father's wife. Born of your father, she's your sister, so you are not to have sexual relations with her.

668

so that he'll be sure to be accepted, he is to offer a male without defect from the bulls, the lambs, and the goats.

669

he has the right to be redeemed after he sells himself. One of his brothers may redeem him.

670

The priest is to take one of the lambs and present it as a guilt offering, along with one log of olive oil, which he is to wave as a raised offering in the LORD's presence.

671

"If the light spot in the skin of his body is white but the appearance of the skin rash isn't deeper than the skin of his body and its hair has not become white, then the priest is to isolate the one who is infected for seven days.

672

On the seventh day, the priest is to examine him again. If, in his opinion, the skin rash remained the same and it did not spread, then he is to isolate him for another seven days.

673

thereby causing them to bear the punishment of their iniquity for wrongdoing when they eat their sacred things, because I am the LORD, who sets them apart."

674

"Then he is to place the incense over the fire in the LORD's presence, ensuring that the smoke from the incense covers the Mercy Seat, according to regulation, so he won't die.

675

Consecrate him, because he's the one who offers the food of your God. He is to be holy for you, because I, the LORD, the one who sanctifies you, am holy.

676

The priest is to go outside the camp and examine the infectious skin disease to confirm that the person has been healed.

677

but the leftover meat and bread is to be incinerated.'

678

When I destroy the source of your bread, ten women will bake bread in one oven. Then they'll return back your bread by weight. You'll eat but won't be satisfied.

679

If the infectious skin disease spreads in the skin so that it covers his entire body from head to foot (as the priest examines it),

680

If their carcass falls on a seed, which is for sowing, what is to be sown is clean.

681

"When you offer a peace offering to the LORD, you are to offer it for your acceptance.

682

because the Israelis are my servants. They're my servants, since I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God."

683

and anything into which their carcass falls becomes unclean. An oven or stove is to be broken in pieces. They're unclean and therefore unclean for you.

684

If the people avoid dealing with that man when he offers his child to Molech that is, if they fail to execute him

685

"No person is to consecrate the firstborn, because the firstborn of the animals already belongs to the LORD. Whether ox or goat, it belongs to the LORD.

686

Threshing will extend to the time of vintage and the vintage will extend to the time of sowing, so that you'll eat your bread to your satisfaction and live securely in your land.

687

The priest who will pronounce him clean is to present the person to be cleansed and these offerings in the LORD's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

688

"Now if you ask, "What will we eat during the seventh year? After all, we may not plant or even gather our produce!'

689

"Then the priest is to take some of the blood from the guilt offering and place it on the right earlobe of the person to be cleansed, on his right thumb, and on his right great toe.

690

You are not to eat anything that crawls on its belly, anything that walks on four legs, anything that has many legs, or any of the swarming creatures that swarm the land, because they're detestable.

691

"No resident alien is to eat anything sacred. Neither the visitor of the priest nor a hired laborer is to eat anything sacred.

692

when the priest's examination reveals that the infectious skin disease has covered his entire body, then he is to declare him clean, even though he still has the skin infection. He has turned entirely white, so he's clean.

693

"This statute is required so that the Israelis may bring their sacrifices that they have been sacrificing to the LORD in the open field to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, where they are to slaughter their peace offering to the LORD.

694

if your valuation of the vow is for a male from 20 to 60 years old, the valuation is to be 50 shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

695

If the number of years after the jubilee is more, increase the selling price. If the number of years after the jubilee is few, decrease its selling price, because he's selling to you according to the potential production volume of the land.

696

Aaron is then to bring the male goat on which the lot fell for the LORD and offer it as a sin offering.

697

Along with the loaves of bread, bring seven lambs (each of them one year old and without defect), one young bull as an offering, and two rams as offerings to the LORD along with your gift and drink offerings and present them as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

698

"You are not to expose the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She's the wife of your son. You are not to have sexual relations with her.

700

They are to keep my charge. By doing so, they won't bear the punishment of sin because of it and therefore die if they've been defiled by it. I am the LORD, who sets them apart."

701

The priest is to sprinkle the blood on the LORD's altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and incinerate the fat, making a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

702

when the priest examines it and finds that there is a light or dull white patch of skin on the body, it's a harmless skin eruption that has spread on the skin. The person is clean."

703

The LORD told Moses,

704

If it is eaten on the third day, it's unclean. It won't be accepted.

705

When his head becomes bare on the side corner of his face, he has a bald forehead, but he's clean.

706

He is to return after seven days to examine it. If the contagion has spread to the walls of the house,

707

He is not to come near any dead body whether the deceased is his father or his mother so as not to defile himself.

708

Instead, you are to bring an offering made by fire to the LORD daily for seven days. On the seventh day, you are also to hold a sacred assembly during which you are to do no servile work."

709

You are not to make yourselves detestable on account of any swarming creature that swarms the land, and you are not to defile yourselves and become unclean due to them,

711

But if only a few years are left until the year of jubilee, he is to bring an accounting of the years that he is to refund for his redemption.

712

If a person is from one month to five years old, then your valuation for a male is to be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation is to be three shekels of silver.

713

If a person eats anything sacred inadvertently, he is to add a fifth part to it and then give the sacred thing to the priest.

714

Then the priest is to wave them the two lambs with the bread of first fruits as raised offerings in the LORD's presence. They'll be sacred to the LORD on account of the priest.

715

"But if the priest examines it and the infection did not spread on the clothing, either in the woven or knitted material or on anything made of leather,

716

Your strength will be spent in vain, because your land won't yield its produce and the trees of the land won't yield their fruit.

717

except his close relatives his mother, father, son, daughter, brother, or

718

When the priest examines the skin rash on the seventh day and finds that indeed the scab did not spread, there's no yellowish hair on it, and the scales don't appear more extensive than skin deep,

719

This gift will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a sacred place, because it's the most holy thing for him of all the offerings made by fire to the LORD. This is to be an eternal ordinance."

720

Because he is a husband among his people, he is not to defile himself, thereby polluting himself.

721

"You are not to expose the nakedness of your father's brother by having sexual relations with his wife. She's your aunt.

722

On the first day that you hold the sacred assembly, you are to do no servile work.

723

He is not to go out of the sanctuary or defile the sanctuary of his God, because his God's consecrating oil of anointing rests on him. I am the LORD.

724

Tell them that whoever among your descendants throughout your generations approaches the sacred things that the Israelis had consecrated to the LORD while still remaining unclean is to be eliminated from my presence. I am the LORD.

725

Then the priest is to offer them one for a sin offering and the other for a whole burnt offering. That's how the priest will make atonement for him in the LORD's presence regarding his discharge."

726

Therefore, keep my injunctions so that you won't practice these detestable things that have been done before you, and so that you won't be defiled in them. I am the LORD."

727

Outside the Canopy of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to arrange it continually in the LORD's presence from evening until morning as an eternal ordinance throughout your generations.

728

"He is not to defile his children among his people, because I am the LORD, who sets him apart."

729

If the priest's daughter is a widow, or is divorced and childless, so that she has to return to her father's house as in her younger days, she may eat her father's food, but no resident alien may eat it.

731

When the priest examines him and determines that the scab did, in fact, spread in his skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean, since it's an infectious skin disease."

732

"On the next seventh day, the priest is to examine him again. If the skin rash didn't become dull and it didn't spread in the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him clean: it's a scab. He is to wash his clothes and be clean.

733

However, whatever has a defect is not to be offered, because it won't be acceptable for you.

734

This is what the LORD had commanded to give them the day he anointed them from among the Israelis a perpetual portion for their generations.

735

Then the land will yield its fruit and you'll eat to your satisfaction and live securely.

736

The one who eats from its carcass is to wash his clothes, because he has become unclean until evening. Even the one who carries the carcass is to wash his clothes, because he has become unclean until evening."

737

He is not to substitute it or exchange it the good with the bad or the bad with the good. If he ever makes an exchange of an animal for an animal, then it and what's being exchanged is holy.

738

When the sun has gone down and he has been cleansed, he may eat of the sacred things, since that's his food.

739

in order for your future generations to know that the Israelis lived in tents when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God."

740

"You are not to have sexual relations with your mother's sister. She's your mother's near blood relative.

741

On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a one year old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering in the LORD's presence.

742

"He is to bring an accounting to the one who bought him, starting from the year he had sold himself until the year of jubilee. The price of his sale is to correspond to the number of years comparable to the time a hired servant stays with him.

743

But if water is put on the seed and part of their carcass falls on it, then it has become unclean for you.

744

According to the number of years after the jubilee, you may buy from your neighbor. And according to the number of years with crops, he may sell to you.

745

"When a man's head becomes bare, he's bald, but he's clean.

746

Your sacrifice is to be eaten on that day and the next day. Anything that remains to the third day is to be incinerated.

747

If a priest acquires a slave as property with his own money, he may eat with him. Those who were born in his house may eat his food.

748

On the eighth day, he is to take for himself two turtledoves or two young doves, bring them to the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.

749

What has been done today has been commanded by the LORD to make atonement for you.

750

Every valuation is to be according to the shekel of the sanctuary, evaluated at 20 gerahs to the shekel.

751

"But if the scales spread on the skin after his cleansing,

752

Then he and his children with him may leave to return to his family and his ancestor's inheritance.

753

Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death is to be put to death.

754

Every bed on which he lies down with the discharge is to be considered unclean, and every object on which he sits becomes unclean.

755

He is to arrange the lamps so that they burn continuously on a ceremonially pure lamp stand in the LORD's presence.

756

Then the presenter is to remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering. The priest is to burn it on the altar over the offerings made by fire to the LORD. This is how the priest will make atonement for him concerning the sin that he had committed. It will be forgiven him."

757

then I'll certainly oppose you. I'll take vengeance against you seven fold on account of your sins.

758

such a person who comes in contact with anything like this will become unclean until evening. As a result, he is not to eat the sacred things unless he has bathed himself with water.

759

None of the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a defect is to approach to bring offerings of the LORD made by fire, since he has a defect. He is not to approach to offer the food of his God.

760

The priest is to examine the scab on the seventh day. If, indeed, the scab hasn't spread on the skin and it doesn't appear more extensive than skin deep, then the priest is to declare him clean. He is to wash his garments and be clean.

761

But if he doesn't wash or bathe his body, then he is to bear the punishment of his iniquity."

762

"If he brings a lamb for his offering, he is to bring a female without defect.

763

"When a person has a skin rash that's infectious, he is to be brought to the priest.

764

Moreover, whoever enters the house during the time it was isolated is to be considered unclean until the evening.

765

The earthen vessel that the person with the discharge touches is to be broken in pieces, and every wooden vessel is to be rinsed with water."

766

The priest is to examine the contagion on the seventh day. If the infection has spread on the clothing, in the woven material, the knitted material, or in the leather, no matter the purpose for which the leather material had been manufactured, the contagion is a chronic fungal infection. It's unclean.

767

He is to remove all the fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice for the peace offering. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. This is how the priest will make atonement for him. It will be forgiven him.

768

it's a festering skin disease in his body. The priest is to declare him unclean. The man need not be confined, since he's already unclean.

769

So Moses spoke to the Israelis and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp and stoned him to death with boulders. The Israelis did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

770

and the priest examines it and finds the scale to have spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellowish hair, since he is clean.

771

"Now when a man or a woman has a skin rash on the head or the man develops a skin rash under his beard,

772

This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his descendants from the offerings made by fire to the LORD, the day they were presented to be priests to the LORD.

773

or a person who has a fractured foot or hand,

774

If a kinsman redeemer decides to redeem it, then he is to add a fifth to your valuation."

775

But if the bright spot remains in place, doesn't spread in the skin, and it's dull, it's the swelling of the burned area. The priest is to declare him clean, since it's the scar from a burn."

776

to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, but fails to bring it to offer it to the LORD, that person is to be eliminated from contact with his people."

777

If any animal is unclean, which cannot be brought to the LORD as an offering, make the animal stand in the presence of the priest,

778

Then he is to send the bird away, outside the city, facing the fields, to make atonement for the house. Then it is to be considered clean.

779

"Every swarming thing that swarms the land is detestable for you. It is not to be eaten.

780

From the sacrifices of your peace offerings give the right thigh to the priest as a raised offering to the LORD.

781

then the priest is to command that they take out the contaminated stones and discard them in an unclean place outside the city.

783

since I've taken the breast and the thigh as raised offerings from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the Israelis and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their perpetual portion from the Israelis."

784

Instead, you'll pursue your enemies and they'll die by the sword before you.

785

virgin sister (who is a near relative of him and did not have a husband he may defile himself for her).

786

So throughout all of your land inheritance, grant the right of redemption for the land.

787

This is the law concerning animals, every living creature that moves on the waters or swarms on land.

788

But if he is too poor to be valuated, then cause him to stand before the priest and let the priest set a value on him according to the ability of the one making the vow.

789

He is to pull down the house, its stones, its lumber, and all the plaster on the house, and discard them in an unclean place outside the city.

790

But if the scab did spread in the skin after he presented himself to the priest for cleansing, then he is to show himself a second time to the priest.

791

"This is the law concerning fungal contagions on clothing of wool or linen (whether woven or knitted material) or in any of the articles made of leather, for determining whether it is clean or unclean."

792

Stay seven days and nights at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and attend to the service of the LORD, so that you won't die, because this is what I've commanded."

793

If she is a female from 20 to 60 years old, then your valuation is to be 30 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

794

then the priest will evaluate it as to whether it is good or bad. According to your that is, the priest's valuation, so it is to be.

795

When you have consumed what was stored of the old, then you'll take out the old and replace it with what's new.

796

he's a man with an infectious skin disease. He's unclean. The priest is to declare him unclean on account of the skin rash in his head.

797

If a priest's daughter marries a resident alien, she is not to eat the sacred raised offerings.

798

His uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him or any blood relative from his tribe may redeem him. If he becomes rich, then he may redeem himself.

799

If a man or a woman has a light or whitish spot in the skin of their body,

800

You are to differentiate between the clean and unclean, between the living creature that can be eaten and the living creature that is not to be eaten."

801

When the priest examines it and finds that the swelling of the skin rash is white or reddish on his bald head or forehead, similar in appearance to an infectious disease in the skin of the body,

802

Arrange them in two rows six in each row on a ceremonially pure table in the LORD's presence.

803

because it's the jubilee it's sacred for you. But you may eat its produce from the field.

804

That way, you are to sow in the eighth year, eating the produce from the old harvest. Until the ninth year when its produce comes in, you'll eat from the old harvest."

805

If a person is from five to 20 years, then your valuation for a male is to be 20 shekels and for a female ten shekels.

806

or who becomes unclean by touching a creeping creature or another human being, whatever the uncleanness may be

807

Whoever has a discharge and spits on someone who is clean, then he is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

808

Whoever sits on any object on which the one with the discharge has sat is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

809

"Whoever touches the body of someone with a discharge is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

810

He is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the two crimson threads, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird over flowing water. Then he is to sprinkle the house seven times.

811

then the priest is to account to him the evaluated worth until the year of jubilee. Then he is to give the amount of valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.

812

If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, then the priest is to account to him the silver according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, with a deduction corresponding to your valuation.

813

If, in his opinion, the scab remained the same and a black hair grew in it, then the scab has healed. He's clean. The priest is to declare him clean.

814

If he consecrates a field that he had bought and that isn't part of his inheritance,

815

"If it's an animal from which they make an offering to the LORD, everything that he gives to the LORD from it will be holy.

816

In order to cleanse the house, he is to take two birds, some cedar wood, two crimson threads, and some hyssop.

817

When the field is released in the jubilee, it will be holy to the LORD. As a field that's devoted, it is to belong to the priest as his inheritance.

818

"Now as for the house, they are to scrape off inside and outside the house and then discard the torn out plaster in an unclean place outside the city.

819

They are not to defile the sacred things of the Israelis that they have offered to the LORD,

820

and the priest comes, undertakes an examination, and determines that the contagion has spread in the house, it's a chronic fungal infection in the house. It's unclean.

821

They are then to take other stones and bring them to replace those stones. Lastly, they are to replaster the house."

822

"If any of the animals that you may eat dies, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.

823

And if he that consecrated it wishes to redeem his house, he is to add one fifth to your valuation, after which it is to belong to him.

824

They placed him in custody until a decision would be made to them according to the word of the LORD.

825

then the owner of the house is to approach the priest and tell him, "There appears to be a contagion in the house.'

826

"Incinerate the clothing, the woven material, the knitted material (whether wool or linen), or any of the leather articles on which the contagion is found, because it's a chronic fungal infection. It is to be incinerated.

827

This is what the LORD had commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelis to bring their offerings to the LORD in the Sinai wilderness.

828

He is to clean the house with the blood of the bird over flowing water, including cleansing the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the crimson thread.

829

The cattle and the wild animals in your land everything it produces are for your food.

830

in woven or knitted material, in leather, or with any article containing leather,

831

I'll command my blessing on you during the sixth year so that it will yield produce for three years!

832

"This is the law for every contagion of infectious skin disease and scabs,

833

If he isn't redeemed by these, then he is to be set free in the year of jubilee he and his children with him

834

"If the one who consecrated the field intends to redeem it, then he is to add one fifth of your valuation to it in silver, then it is to be established as his.

835

So Aaron and his sons did everything that the LORD had commanded through Moses.

836

to distinguish when it's unclean and clean. This is the law for infectious skin diseases."

837

If it's an unclean animal, then he is to ransom it according to your valuation, adding a fifth to it. If it's not redeemed, then it is to be sold according to your valuation.

838

Then the priest is to examine it after the contagion has been washed. If the contagion hasn't changed in appearance, even though the contagion hasn't spread, it's unclean. Incinerate it. It's a fungal infection, especially if the infection is on its exposed side.

839

If there are still many years left, he is to refund the cost of his redemption.

840

if the contagion is greenish or reddish in the clothing, leather, woven material, knitted material, or with any article containing leather, it's a fungal infection and is to be shown to the priest.

841

Like a hired servant, he is to remain with him year after year, but he is not to rule over him with what you see as severity.

842

If he consecrates his field in the year of jubilee, it is to be based on your valuation.

843

But when in the baldness of his head or his forehead there develops a skin rash that's white or reddish, it's an infectious skin disease that has spread to his bald head or forehead.

844

and for swelling of the skin, scabs, and bright spots,

845

The descendant of Aaron's sons who brings the blood and the fat from the peace offering is to keep the right thigh for his own portion,

846

"But if the priest comes in to conduct an examination and determines that the contagion has not spread throughout the house after the house has been repaired, then the priest may declare the house clean, because the contagion has been cleansed.

847

If a person is 60 or more years old, then your valuation for a male is to be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels.

848

for fungal infections on clothing or in a house,

849

Then the priest is to take blood with his finger and put it on the horn of the altar for burnt offering. Then he is to pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

850

He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it for a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

851

The priest is to leave through the entrance to the house and seal the house for seven days.

852

During the year of jubilee, the field is to be returned by the one who originally sold it that is, to the owner of the land.

853

Then the clothing (whether it is woven or knitted material) or any article made of leather that you've washed, if the contagion has been removed from it and it's washed a second time, then it's clean.

854

But if he won't redeem the field, but instead sells it to another person, then it is not to be redeemed anymore.

855

then the priest is to command that they wash whatever has the contagion and then isolate it for seven days a second time.

856

"The priest is to examine the contagion and isolate the clothing for seven days.

857

"If the priest examines the item and determines that the contagion has become dull after it has been washed, tear it away from the garment, leather, woven material, or knitted material.

858

Then he is to slaughter one bird on an earthen vessel over flowing water.

859

But if it recurs on the clothing (whether woven or knitted material) or on any article made of leather, it's a breakout, so incinerate it with fire wherever the contagion is found.
