And anyone on whom the unclean man puts his hands, without washing them in water, is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

And any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be broken and any vessel of wood washed.

And if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening.

And if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till evening.

And anyone touching her bed will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

And anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

And anyone touching these things will be unclean, and his clothing will have to be washed and his body bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

And the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

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.

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 let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

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.

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.

And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.

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 have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.

You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.

You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;

You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.

And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.

You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

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.

And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.

Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.

And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.

And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.

Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.

Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.

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 if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.

And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.

But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.

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.

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.

And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.

And he may not make his seed unclean among his people, for I the Lord have made him holy.

But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.

So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.

On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.

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;

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

But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.

And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

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.

But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.

Let your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given her produce.

And the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be safe in the land.

Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.

But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.

Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.

Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.

Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.

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.

And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

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.

All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

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.

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;

In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,

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,

And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

From the mouth of Aaron and his sons the Gershonites will have word about all the things they are to do and take up; you are to give them their orders.

Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.

And he will make her take an oath, and say to her, If no man has been your lover and you have not been with another in place of your husband, you are free from this bitter water causing the curse;

But if you have been with another in place of your husband and have made yourself unclean with a lover:

But if she is clean she will be free and will have offspring.

This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.

And when Moses went into the Tent of meeting to have talk with him, then the Voice came to his ears from over the cover which was on the ark of witness, from between the two winged ones. And he had talk with him.

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.

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.

And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.

And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?

If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame.

And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.

And say to the people, Make yourselves clean before tomorrow and you will have flesh for your food: for in the ears of the Lord you have been weeping and saying, Who will give us flesh for food? for we were well off in Egypt: and so the Lord will give you flesh, and it will be your food;

But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?

Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.
