the priest will order that two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one who is to be cleansed.

He will then sprinkle the blood seven times on the one who is to be cleansed from the skin disease. He is to pronounce him clean and release the live bird over the open countryside.

The one who is to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe with water; he is clean. Afterward he may enter the camp, but he must remain outside his tent for seven days.

The priest who performs the cleansing will place the person who is to be cleansed, together with these offerings, before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”

“Anyone from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who live among them who eats any blood, I will turn against that person who eats blood and cut him off from his people.

Therefore I say to the Israelites: None of you and no foreigner who lives among you may eat blood.

“Any Israelite or foreigner living among them, who hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.

“Every person, whether the native or the foreigner, who eats an animal that died a natural death or was mauled by wild beasts is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening; then he will be clean.

You are not to have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife’s daughter, who is adopted by your father; she is your sister.

But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable things—not the native or the foreigner who lives among you.

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

Any person who does any of these detestable practices must be cut off from his people.

Anyone who eats it will bear his punishment, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person must be cut off from his people.

“If a man has sexual intercourse with a woman who is a slave designated for another man, but she has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be punishment. They are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.

You are to have honest balances, honest weights, an honest dry measure, and an honest liquid measure; I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

“Say to the Israelites: Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death; the people of the country are to stone him.

then I will turn against that man and his family, and cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

A man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist must be put to death. They are to be stoned; their blood is on their own hands.”

“Tell Aaron: None of your descendants throughout your generations who has a physical defect is to come near to present the food of his God.

No man who has any defect is to come near: no man who is blind, lame, facially disfigured, or deformed;

no man who has a broken foot or hand,

or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.

No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect is to come near to present the fire offerings to the Lord. He has a defect and is not to come near to present the food of his God.

But because he has a defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar. He is not to desecrate My sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sets them apart.”

You must not profane My holy name; I must be treated as holy among the Israelites. I am Yahweh who sets you apart,

the One who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Yahweh.”

It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the fire offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule.”

“Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.

Whatever the land produces during the Sabbath year can be food for you—for yourself, your male or female slave, and the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you.

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.

The one who purchased him is to calculate the time from the year he sold himself to him until the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years. It will be set for him like the daily wages of a hired hand.

I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to live in freedom.

I will turn against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even though no one is pursuing you.

I also will devastate the land, so that your enemies who come to live there will be appalled by it.

“I will put anxiety in the hearts of those of you who survive in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a wind-driven leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as one flees from a sword, and fall though no one is pursuing them.

Those who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away because of their sin; they will also waste away because of their fathers’ sins along with theirs.

For their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God; I am Yahweh.”

But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his.

If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.

No person who has been set apart for destruction is to be ransomed; he must be put to death.
