“Now if any of the common people sins unintentionally by violating one of the Lord’s commands, does what is prohibited, and incurs guilt,

You must distinguish between the holy and the common, and the clean and the unclean,

the gecko, the monitor lizard,
the common lizard, the skink,
and the chameleon.

I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to frighten you. I will remove dangerous animals from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.

“Then the land will make up for its Sabbath years during the time it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and make up for its Sabbaths.

Do not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, or follow the practices of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You must not follow their customs.

The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

For the men who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable things, and the land has become defiled.

And I promised you: You will inherit their land, since I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God who set you apart from the peoples.

“When you enter the land of Canaan that I am giving you as a possession, and I place a mildew contamination in a house in the land you possess,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you, the land will observe a Sabbath to the Lord.

Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat, be satisfied, and live securely in the land.

“The land is not to be permanently sold because it is Mine, and you are only foreigners and temporary residents on My land.

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

and your strength will be used up for nothing. Your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
