because on this day he shall make atonement for you to cleanse you; you must be clean from all your sins {before} Yahweh.

Indeed, [the] life of all flesh, its blood, [is] in its life, so I said to the {Israelites}, 'You may not eat [the] blood of any flesh, because [the] life of all flesh [is] its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.'

You must not {carry out} the practices of the land of Egypt, in which you lived, and you must not {carry out} the practices of the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you; and you must not follow their statutes.

You must {carry out} my regulations, and you must observe my statutes by following them; I [am] Yahweh your God.

You must not expose your father's nakedness or your mother's nakedness--she [is] your mother; you must not expose her nakedness.

You must not expose the nakedness of your father's wife--it is your father's nakedness.

[As for] your sister's nakedness, [whether] your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, [whether] {born at home} or {born abroad}, you must not expose their nakedness.

[As for] the nakedness of your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, you must not expose their nakedness, because they [are] your nakedness.

[As for] the nakedness of the daughter of your father's wife, she [is] your sister, a relative of your father; you must not expose her nakedness.

You must not expose the nakedness of your father's sister; she [is] {your father's close relative}.

You must not expose the nakedness of your mother's sister, because she [is] {your mother's close relative}.

You must not expose the nakedness of your father's brother; you must not {have sex with} his wife--she [is] your aunt.

You must not expose your daughter-in-law's nakedness; she [is] your son's wife; you must not expose her nakedness.

You must not expose the nakedness of your brother's wife; she [is] your brother's nakedness.

You must not expose the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter; you must not take [her as wife] to expose her nakedness; they [are] {close relatives}--that [is] wickedness.

And you must not take [as wife] a woman with her sister, to be a rival-wife, to expose her nakedness before her {during} her life.

" 'And you must not {have sex with} a woman to expose her nakedness {during} her menstrual uncleanness.

And {you must not have sex} with your fellow citizen's wife, becoming unclean with her.

" 'You must not make yourself unclean in any of these [things], because the nations whom I am driving out from your presence were made unclean by all of these.

"Speak to all the community of the {Israelites}, and say to them, 'You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, [am] holy.

Each [of you] must revere your mother and your father, and you must keep my Sabbaths; I [am] Yahweh your God.

You must not turn to idols, and you must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal; I [am] Yahweh your God.

" 'And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it for your acceptance.

It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and the next day; but the remainder must be burned up in the fire by the third day.

" 'And at your reaping the harvest of your land you must not finish reaping the edge of your field, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest.

And you must not glean your vineyard, and you must not gather your vineyard's fallen grapes; you must leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I [am] Yahweh your God.

" 'You must keep my statutes: [as for] your domestic animals, you shall not cause two differing kinds to breed; [as for] your field, you shall not sow two differing kinds of seed; and, a garment of two differing kinds [of] woven material should not be worn on you.

" 'You must not eat [anything] with the blood; you shall not practice divination, nor shall you interpret signs.

You must have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin; I [am] Yahweh your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt.

"And to the {Israelites} you shall say, '[If there is] {anyone} from the {Israelites} or from the alien who is dwelling in Israel, who gives {any of} his offspring to Molech, he must surely be put to death; the people of the land must stone him with stones.

" 'As for a man who {has sexual relations} with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.

" 'As for a man who takes his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and he sees her nakedness and she herself sees his nakedness, it [is] a disgrace, and they shall be cut off {before} the eyes of {their people}; he has exposed his sister's nakedness--he must bear his guilt.

And you shall not expose the nakedness of your mother's sister, and you shall not expose your father's sister, because such a person has dishonored his close relative--they must bear their guilt.

Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, Aaron's sons, and say to them, 'One must not make himself unclean for a dead person among his [own] people,

He must not make himself unclean [as] {a kinsman by marriage}, defiling himself.

" 'And he himself must take a wife in her virginity.

A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled [woman], a prostitute--these he must not take; he shall take only a virgin from his people [as] wife.

But he must not enter the curtain, and he must not come near to the altar, because a physical defect [is] in him, and he must not profane my sanctuary, because I [am] Yahweh, who consecrates them.'"

"Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the {Israelites}' votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; I [am] Yahweh.

[it must be] without defect {to be acceptable for you}: a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or among the goats.

And if anyone brings a sacrifice of fellowship offerings for Yahweh to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the cattle or from the flock, it must be without defect {to be acceptable}; there must not be any physical defect in it.

And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you must sacrifice [it] to be acceptable for you.

It must be eaten on that day; you must not leave over [anything] from it until morning; I [am] Yahweh.

And you shall not eat bread or roasted grain or ripe grain until {this very same day}, until you present your God's offering. [This must be] {a lasting statute} for your generations in all your dwellings.

You shall bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two [loaves of] bread {made with} two-tenths [of an ephah] of finely milled flour; they must be baked with leaven--[the] firstfruits {belonging to} Yahweh.

And when you reap the harvest of your land, you must not finish the edge of your field at your reaping, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest--you shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I [am] Yahweh your God.'"

"Speak to the {Israelites}, saying, 'In the seventh month, on [the] first [day] of the month, {you must have} a rest period, a remembrance of [the trumpet] blast, a holy assembly.

You must not do {any regular work}, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh.'"

And you must not do {any regular work} on {this very same day}, because it [is] the Day of Atonement to make atonement for you {before} Yahweh your God.

You must not do any work; [it is] a {lasting statute} throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

It [is] {a Sabbath of complete rest} for you, and you shall deny yourselves on the ninth [day] of the month in the evening--from evening to evening you must observe your [extraordinary] Sabbath."

On the first day [there shall be] a holy assembly; you must not do any {regular work}.

[For] seven days you must present an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh; it [is] a celebration; you must not do {any regular work}.

" 'These [are] Yahweh's festivals, which you must proclaim, holy assemblies to present an offering made by fire to Yahweh--burnt offering and grain offering, sacrifice and libations, {each on its proper day}--

And you must hold it [as] a festival for Yahweh [for] seven days in the year; [it shall be] a {lasting statute} throughout your generations; in the seventh month you must hold it.

You must live in the booths [for] seven days; all the natives in Israel must live in the booths,

And {he who kills} a domestic animal must repay [for] it life in place of life.

And a killer of a domestic animal must repay [for] it, and a killer of a human shall be put to death.

{You must have} one norm; as [for] the alien, so it must be [for] the native, because I [am] Yahweh your God.'"

But in the seventh year it shall be {a Sabbath of complete rest} for the land--a Sabbath for Yahweh; you must not sow your field, and you must not prune your vineyard.

You must not reap your harvest's aftergrowth, and you must not harvest the grapes of your unpruned vines--it shall be {a year of complete rest} for the land.

And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. It [is] a Jubilee; it shall be for you, and you shall return. You must return--everyone to his property and everyone to his clan.

{You shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee}; you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines.

Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat its produce from the field.

And when you sell something to your fellow citizen or [you] buy from your neighbor's hand, you must not oppress {one another}.

You must buy from your fellow citizen according to [the] number of years after the Jubilee; he must sell to you according to [the] number of years of yield.

You must increase its price {according to a greater number of years}, but you must decrease its price {according to a lesser number of years}, because he is selling [its] yields to you.

And you must not oppress {one another}, but you shall revere your God, because I [am] Yahweh, your God.

" 'And you shall do my statutes, and you must keep my regulations, and you shall do them, so that you shall live {securely} on the land.

" 'But the land must not be sold in perpetuity, because the land [is] mine, because you [are] aliens and temporary residents with me.

And in all your property's land you must provide redemption for the land.

And whatever [anyone] redeems from the Levites then must go out [of the buyer's hand] in the Jubilee, [including] a house's selling {in his city's property}, because the houses in the cities of the Levites [are] their property in the midst of the {Israelites}.

But a field of their cities' pastureland must not be sold, because {it is their property for all time}.

You must not take interest or usury from him, but you shall revere your God, and your countryman shall live with you.

You must not give your money to him with interest or give your food for profit.

And the land shall be deserted by them, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths in its being desolate from them, and they themselves must pay for their guilt, {simply because} they rejected my regulations, and their inner self abhorred my statutes.

from {twenty years old} and above, everyone in Israel who [is able] to go to war. You and Aaron must muster them for their wars.

And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the vessels of the sanctuary when the camp sets out, the descendants of Kohath will come after to carry [these], but they must not touch the sanctuary, or they will die. These [are] the load of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of assembly.

"You must not cut off the tribe of the clan of the Kohathites from the midst of the Levites.

But they must not go and look {for a moment} at the holy objects."

"Command the {Israelites}: they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash, everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through [contact with] a corpse.

You will send away {both male and female}; you will send them {outside the camp}. They must not make unclean their camps where I [am] dwelling in their midst."

Every native must do these [things] to present an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

You must lift up a contribution of the first [batch] of your ring-shaped dough bread; you must lift it up as a contribution of the threshing floor.

and if it was done unintentionally {without the knowledge} of the community, then the entire community must prepare one {young bull} as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

But the one {who acts presumptuously} from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Surely the man must be put to death by stoning him; all the community [must stone him] with stones from outside the camp."

You must then put them in the tent of assembly {before} the testimony where I meet with you.

Yahweh put a word in the mouth of Balaam and said, "Return to Balak, and you must speak thus."

Then Yahweh met with Balaam, and he put a word in his mouth, and he said, "Return to Balak, and you must speak thus."

"For these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of names.

For the larger group you must increase their inheritance, and for the smaller group you must make smaller their inheritance; each must be given {their} inheritance according to the number of the ones counted of them.

{Their} inheritance must be divided according to the lot between the larger and smaller [groups]."

"{The statements of the daughters of Zelophehad are right}. You must surely give them [the] property of an inheritance in the midst of their father's brothers, and you must transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

And you must speak to the {Israelites}, saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, you must transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

And if he has no daughter, you must give his inheritance to his brothers.

If he has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

If his father has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his nearest relative from his own clan, and he will take possession of it. It will be as a decree of stipulation for the {Israelites}, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.'"

On the fifteenth day of this month [is] a religious feast, unleavened bread must be eaten for seven days.

if a man makes a vow for Yahweh or swears an oath with a binding pledge on himself, he must not render his word invalid; he must do all that went out from his mouth.
