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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

"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.

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."

"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.

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.

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."

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

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

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.

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.

"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.

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

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."

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.

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

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."

"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.

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

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.

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

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

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."

"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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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.

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.

"No person is to be there when he enters the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the sacred place, until he comes out and has made atonement on account of himself, his household, and the entire assembly of Israel.

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,

"When he has completed making atonement at the sacred place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, then he is to present the live male goat.

Aaron is to lay his two hands upon the head of the male goat and confess over it the sins of Israel, all their transgressions, and all their sins, thus placing them on the head of the male goat that he'll then send out to the wilderness by the hand of a man capable of carrying out this task.

The male goat will bear on itself all their sins to a solitary land as Aaron sends the goat out to the wilderness.

"Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off his white linen clothes that he had put on when he entered the sacred place, and leave them there.

He is to wash his body with water at the sacred place and put on his clothes. Then he is to go out and offer a whole burnt offering for himself and a whole burnt offering for the people, thereby making atonement on account of himself and on account of the people.

"As to the fat from the burnt offering, he is to incinerate it on the altar.

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.

"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.

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

"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,

It's the Sabbath of all Sabbaths for you, so humble yourselves. This is to be a perpetual statute.

The priest who has been anointed and consecrated to be priest after his father is to make the atonement. He is to put on the sacred linen clothing

and make atonement for the sacred sanctuary, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar where atonement is carried out. He is also to make atonement for the priests and the people of the entire assembly.

This will be a perpetual statute for you as you make atonement once a year for the Israelis on account of all their sins." So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him.

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

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."

"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.

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.

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."

because the life of the flesh is in the blood itself, and I myself have given it to you all so that atonement may be made for your souls on the altar, since the blood itself makes atonement through the life that is in it.

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.

"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,

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.

"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.

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

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

"A person is not to approach a near blood relative for sexual relations. I am the LORD.

"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.

"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.

"You are not to marry a woman and then have sexual relations with her sister as a rival when your wife is still alive.

"You are not to present any of your children to Molech as a sacrifice. That way, you won't defile the name of your God."

"I am the LORD. You are not to have sexual relations with a male as you would with a woman. It's detestable."

"You are not to present yourself to an animal in order to have sexual relations with it and by doing so to defile yourself. A woman is not to present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it. It's detestable.

The land has been defiled, so I brought the punishment of its iniquity to it. As a result, the land is vomiting out its inhabitants.

So you are not to let the land vomit you up because of your uncleanness as it is vomiting the nations that were here before you.

Anyone who does any of these detestable things whoever the person may be is to be eliminated from contact with his people.

"Each of you is to fear his mother and father. "Observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

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

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

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."

"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.

"You are not to use my name to deceive, thereby defiling the name of your God. I am the LORD.

"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.

"You are not to seek vengeance or hold a grudge against the descendants of your people. Instead, love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."

"When a person has sexual relations with a woman servant who is engaged to another man, but she has not been completely redeemed nor has her freedom been granted to her, there is to be an inquiry, but they won't be put to death, since she has not been freed.

The perpetrator is to bring his guilt offering to the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting that is, a ram as a guilt offering.

Then the priest is to make atonement for him with the ram as a guilt offering in the LORD's presence on account of his sin which he has committed, but which will be forgiven him."

"When you have entered the land and planted all sorts of trees for food, regard its fruit as uncircumcised for the first three years for you. It is not to be eaten.
