But inheritance, shall he not have, in the midst of his brethren, - Yahweh, is his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

Then shall the priests the sons of Levi come near, for of them, hath Yahweh thy God made choice to wait upon him, and to bless in the name of Yahweh, - and at their bidding, shall be settled every controversy and every punishment;

When any matter of judgment, shall be too difficult for thee - between blood and blood between plea and plea or between stroke and stroke, matters of contention within thy gates, then shalt thou arise and go up unto the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose; and shalt come in unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge who shall be in those days, - and shalt enquire and they shall declare unto thee, the sentence of judgment; and thou shalt do according to the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, out of that place, which Yahweh, shall choose, - yea thou shalt observe to do according to all which they shall direct thee: read more.

But if the scab shall have, verily spread, in the skin, since he was shown to the priest that he might be cleansed, then shall he shew himself again unto the priest; and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if the scab hath spread in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean - leprosy, it is. When, the plague of leprosy, cometh to be in any human being, then shall he be brought in unto the priest; and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if there is a white rising in the skin and, the same, hath turned the hair white, - and there be a wound of raw flesh in the rising, an old leprosy, it is in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, - he shall not shut him up, for unclean, he is.

But, if, in its place the bright spot hath stayed, and hath not spread in the skin, but, itself, is faint, the rising of a burning, it is, - and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for only the inflaming of the burning, it is. And, when there cometh to be in, any man or woman, a spot, - in the head or in the beard, then shall the priest view the spot and lo! if, the appearance thereof, is deeper than the skin, and, therein, is yellow, thin hair, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean a scall, it is, a leprosy of the head or of the beard, it is.

But, if the scall do indeed spread in the skin, - after he hath been pronounced clean, then shall the priest take a view, and lo! if the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not search for the yellow hair - unclean, he is. But, if in his eyes, the scall is at a stay, and dark hair hath grown up therein, the scall is healed, clean, he is, - and the priest shall pronounce him clean. And when either, man or woman, hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, - bright spots that are white, then shall the priest take a view and lo! if, in the skin of their flesh, are bright spots that are dull white, dead white spot, it is, that hath broken through in the skin - clean, he is. And, when, any man's, head loseth its hair, though, bald, he is, clean. And if, in front, his head loseth its hair, though bald in the forehead, he is, clean. But, should there be, in the baldness behind, or in the baldness in front, a spot that is reddish white, leprosy broken out, it is, in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front. So the priest shall view it, and lo! if, the rising-spot, be reddish white in his baldness behind or in his baldness in front, - like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, a leprous man, is he, unclean, he is, - unclean, shall the priest pronounce him in his head, is his plague. Now, as for the leper in whom is the plague, His clothes, shall be rent, And, his head, shall be bare, And, his beard, shall he cover, - And, Unclean! Unclean! shall he cry. All the days that the plague is in him, shall he continue unclean, Unclean, he is, - Alone, shall he remain, Outside the camp, shall be his dwelling. And, when, in a garment, there is a plague-spot of leprosy, - whether in a garment of wool, or a garment of flax; either in warp or in weft, made with flax, or with wool, - or in a skin, or in anything wrought of skin; and the spot cometh to be of a greenish yellow or reddish, in the garment or in the skin, whether in warp or in weft, or in any utensil of skin, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, - and shall be shown unto the priest; and the priest shall view the spot, - and shall shut up him that is plagued seven days; then shall he view the spot, on the seventh day if the spot hath spread in the garment whether in warp or in weft, or in the skin, or anything which may be made of skin for service, the spot is a fretting leprosy, unclean, it is. Then shall he burn up the garment whether it be m the warp or the weft in wool or in flax, or any utensil of skin, wherein shall be the plague-spot, - for, a fretting leprosy, it is, in fire, shall it be burnt up.

And, if the priest hath taken a view, and lo! the spot is, faint, since it hath been washed, then shall he rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, whether out of the warp or out of the weft; and, if it appear still in the garment - either in the warp or in the weft, or in any utensil of skin, a breaking out, it is, - in the fire, shalt thou burn up that wherein is the plague. But, as for the garment - whether the warp or the weft or any utensil of skin which thou shalt wash, and the plague shall depart therefrom, then shall it be washed a second time, and shall be clean. This, is the law as to the plague-spot of leprosy, in a garment of wool or of flax, whether in the warp or the weft, or in any utensil of skin, - To pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

The deliverance of truth, was in his mouth, and, perverseness, was not found in his lips, - In well-doing and in uprightness, walked he with me, and, multitudes, did he turn from iniquity.

and shalt give the silver to Aaron and to his sons, - as the ransom of them that are in excess over them.

And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, I, therefore, lo! I have given unto thee the charge of my heave-offerings, - as to all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel - unto thee, have I given them. as pertaining to the anointing, and unto thy sons. for a statute age-abiding,

Behold me! threatening, on your account, the seed, and I will scatter refuse upon your faces, the refuse of your festivals, - and one shall carry you away unto it; read more.
So shall ye know that I sent unto you this charge, - as being my covenant with Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts.

The deliverance of truth, was in his mouth, and, perverseness, was not found in his lips, - In well-doing and in uprightness, walked he with me, and, multitudes, did he turn from iniquity. For, the lips of a priest, should keep knowledge, and, a deliverance, should men seek at his mouth, - for, the messenger of Yahweh of hosts, he is. But, ye, have departed out of the way, ye have caused multitudes to stumble at the deliverance, - ye have violated the covenant of Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts. Therefore, I also, will suffer you to be despised and of no account unto all the people, - in proportion as none of you have been keeping my ways, but have had respect to persons, in giving your deliverance.

And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee. read more.
But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards; and when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, - an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward, But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but shall not sound an alarm. And, the sons of Aaron the priests, shall blow with the trumpets, - and it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto your generations. And when ye go into war in your land against thee assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, - and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from your enemies, And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, - so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God.

So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was. And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, - and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;

out of their half, shall ye take them , - and thou shall give them unto Eleazar the priest as a heave-offering unto Yahweh.

And Moses gave the tribute - the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Eleazar the priest, - As Yahweh commanded Moses.

Unto the Levites, therefore shalt thou speak and shalt say unto them, When ye shall take of the sons of Israel the tenth which I have given unto you from them as your inheritance, then shall ye offer up therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, a tenth of the tenth.

Thus, shall ye also, offer up the heave-offering of Yahweh, out of all your tenths which ye shall take from the sons of Israel, - and give therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Aaron the priest.

And, when Rehoboam entered Jerusalem, he called together all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin - a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, able to make war, - to fight against the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam, son of Solomon.

Thus became they reverers of Yahweh, - and yet made for themselves, from the whole compass of them, priests of high places, who became offerers for them in the house of the high places.

If indeed, therefore, there had been, a perfecting through means of the Levitical priesthood, - for, the people, thereon, have had based a code of laws, what further need, according to the rank of Melchizedek, for a different priest to be raised up, and, not according to the rank of Aaron, to be designated?

And, every priest, indeed, standeth daily publicly ministering, and the same sacrifices ofttimes offering, the which never can clear away sins;

And Aaron and his sons, shalt thou bring near, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, - and shalt bathe them in water.

So Moses brought near Aaron and his sons, - and bathed them with water,

and thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, - and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.
