For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.

As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.

And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;

And say to the children of Israel: Take a he-goat for a sin-offering, and a young ox and a lamb, in their first year, without any mark on them, for a burned offering;

And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses.

And the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.

Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.

Say to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it will make him unclean.

In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them.

And let him take from the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering and one male sheep for a burned offering.

And let him make the holy place free from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel and from their wrongdoing in all their sins; and let him do the same for the Tent of meeting, which has its place among an unclean people.

And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.

Shaking drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel.

And Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting there, into the waste land.

And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.

If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;

So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.

And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,

And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.

For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.

And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.

For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.

Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;

These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.

Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,

Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.

And they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord,

Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;

And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,

Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.

Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;

Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.

Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.

So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.

Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord.

And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.

For the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.

Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.

These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.

Take the full number of the children of Israel, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, every male by name;

All those of twenty years old and over, who are able to go to war in Israel, are to be numbered by you and Aaron.

These are the men named out of all the people, chiefs of their fathers' houses, heads of the tribes of Israel.

The generations of the sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over, who was able to go to war;

These are they who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and by the twelve chiefs of Israel, one from every tribe.

So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their families, all those of twenty years old and over who were able to go to war,

Only the tribe of Levi is not to be numbered among the children of Israel,

The children of Israel are to put up their tents, every man in his tent-circle round his flag.

But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

The children of Israel are to put up their tents in the order of their families, by the flags of their fathers' houses, facing the Tent of meeting on every side.

These are all who were numbered of the children of Israel, in the order of their fathers' families: all the armies in their tents together came to six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses.

So the children of Israel did as the Lord said to Moses, so they put up their tents by their flags, and they went forward in the same order, by their families, and by their fathers' houses.

In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.

Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.

So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.

Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.

And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,

From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;

So the children of Israel did as the Lord had said to Moses, and put them outside the tent-circle.

Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;

And every offering lifted up of all the holy things which the children of Israel give to the priest, will be his.

Say to the children of Israel, If any man's wife does wrong, sinning against him

Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;

Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,

So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.

Then the chiefs of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, made offerings; these were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were numbered.

These were the offerings given for the altar by the chiefs of Israel, when the holy oil was put on it: twelve silver plates, twelve silver basins, twelve gold spoons;

Take the Levites out from among the children of Israel and make them clean.

And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:

And you are to take the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel are to put their hands on them:

And Aaron is to give the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the children of Israel, so that they may do the Lord's work.

So you are to make the Levites separate from the children of Israel, and the Levites will be mine.

For they have been given to me from among the children of Israel; in place of every mother's first son, the first to come to birth in Israel, I have taken them for myself.

For every mother's first son among the children of Israel is mine, the first male birth of man or beast: on the day when I sent death on all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I made them mine.

And in place of the first sons among the children of Israel, I have taken the Levites.

And I have given them to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to undertake for them all the work of the Tent of meeting, and to take away sin from the children of Israel so that no evil may come on them when they come near the holy place.

All these things Moses and Aaron and the children of Israel did to the Levites; as the Lord gave orders to Moses about the Levites, so the children of Israel did.

Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
