It is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the offerings made by fire to me; it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and the offerings for error.

This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.

They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.

But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.

Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.

And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.

And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;

And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord.

And Moses said, This is what the Lord has said you are to do; and you will see the glory of the Lord.

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.

Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.

And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.

And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.

For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.

And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.

And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:

But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

And they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on account of his flow.

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 the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be burned with fire.

And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you:

It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.

You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.

You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;

You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:

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

You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.

And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.

And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.

And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them.

And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.

And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.

And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.

They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.

Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.

Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;

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

And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.

And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.

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.

These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times

And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.

And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living

Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings

And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living

The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day

These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;

For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:

And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among you;

No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.

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 if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.

For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.

And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.

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.

If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their 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.

And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's.

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

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 names of those who are to be your helpers: from Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur;

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

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

But to them you are to give the care of the Tent of meeting with its vessels and everything in it: they are to take up the Tent, and be responsible for everything to do with it, and put up their tents round it.
