Chapter 3

03:020:008 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORDwhich sanctify you.

03:020:009 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall besurely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother;his blood shall be upon him.

03:020:010 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife,even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife,the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

03:020:011 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncoveredhis father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put todeath; their blood shall be upon them.

03:020:012 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shallsurely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; theirblood shall be upon them.

03:020:013 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, bothof them have committed an abomination: they shall surely beput to death; their blood shall be upon them.

03:020:014 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness:they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there beno wickedness among you.

03:020:015 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

03:020:016 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

03:020:017 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

03:020:018 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

03:020:019 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother'ssister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his nearkin: they shall bear their iniquity.

03:020:020 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hathuncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin;they shall die childless.

03:020:021 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an uncleanthing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shallbe childless.

03:020:022 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments,and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwelltherein, spue you not out.

03:020:023 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which Icast out before you: for they committed all these things, andtherefore I abhorred them.

03:020:024 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

03:020:025 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

03:020:026 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

03:020:027 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is awizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone themwith stones: their blood shall be upon them.

03:021:001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sonsof Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled forthe dead among his people:

03:021:002 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for hismother, and for his father, and for his son, and for hisdaughter, and for his brother.

03:021:003 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hathhad no husband; for her may he be defiled.

03:021:004 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among hispeople, to profane himself.

03:021:005 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

03:021:006 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

03:021:007 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane;neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: forhe is holy unto his God.

03:021:008 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the breadof thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, whichsanctify you, am holy.

03:021:009 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself byplaying the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall beburnt with fire.

03:021:010 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;

03:021:011 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

03:021:012 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.

03:021:013 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

03:021:014 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

03:021:015 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

03:021:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:021:017 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in theirgenerations that hath any blemish, let him not approach tooffer the bread of his God.

03:021:018 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall notapproach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose,or any thing superfluous,

03:021:019 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

03:021:020 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

03:021:021 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

03:021:022 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

03:021:023 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

03:021:024 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.

03:022:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:022:002 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.

03:022:003 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.

03:022:004 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

03:022:005 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may bemade unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

03:022:006 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean untileven, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash hisflesh with water.

03:022:007 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shallafterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

03:022:008 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shallnot eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.

03:022:009 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sinfor it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD dosanctify them.

03:022:010 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner ofthe priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holything.

03:022:011 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat ofit, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of hismeat.

03:022:012 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

03:022:013 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.

03:022:014 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.

03:022:015 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children ofIsrael, which they offer unto the LORD;

03:022:016 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eattheir holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

03:022:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:022:018 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;

03:022:019 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of thebeeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

03:022:020 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for itshall not be acceptable for you.

03:022:021 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

03:022:022 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, orscabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make anoffering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.

03:022:023 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous orlacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewilloffering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

03:022:024 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, orcrushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offeringthereof in your land.

03:022:025 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread ofyour God of any of these; because their corruption is in them,and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

03:022:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:022:027 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

03:022:028 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and heryoung both in one day.

03:022:029 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto theLORD, offer it at your own will.

03:022:030 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none ofit until the morrow: I am the LORD.

03:022:031 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am theLORD.

03:022:032 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowedamong the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,

03:022:033 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: Iam the LORD.

03:023:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim tobe holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

03:023:003 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is thesabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no worktherein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

03:023:004 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations,which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

03:023:005 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'spassover.

03:023:006 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

03:023:007 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

03:023:008 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

03:023:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

03:023:011 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be acceptedfor you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall waveit.

03:023:012 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lambwithout blemish of the first year for a burnt offering untothe LORD.

03:023:013 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fineflour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORDfor a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be ofwine, the fourth part of an hin.

03:023:014 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor greenears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offeringunto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout yourgenerations in all your dwellings.

03:023:015 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath,from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering;seven sabbaths shall be complete:

03:023:016 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye numberfifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto theLORD.

03:023:017 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of twotenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be bakenwith leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.

03:023:018 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

03:023:019 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sinoffering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice ofpeace offerings.

03:023:020 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of thefirstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the twolambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

03:023:021 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

03:023:022 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.

03:023:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:024 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

03:023:025 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

03:023:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:027 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

03:023:028 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

03:023:029 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in thatsame day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

03:023:030 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that sameday, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

03:023:031 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for everthroughout your generations in all your dwellings.

03:023:032 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

03:023:033 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:034 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.

03:023:035 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

03:023:036 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto theLORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you;and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: itis a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.

03:023:037 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim tobe holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire untothe LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice,and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

03:023:038 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

03:023:039 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye havegathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast untothe LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, andon the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

03:023:040 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodlytrees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees,and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORDyour God seven days.

03:023:041 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

03:023:042 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

03:023:043 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

03:023:044 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

03:024:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:024:002 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

03:024:003 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

03:024:004 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before theLORD continually.

03:024:005 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof:two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

03:024:006 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon thepure table before the LORD.

03:024:007 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that itmay be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made byfire unto the LORD.

03:024:008 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORDcontinually, being taken from the children of Israel by aneverlasting covenant.

03:024:009 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat itin the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of theofferings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.

03:024:010 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was anEgyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this sonof the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove togetherin the camp;

03:024:011 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of theLord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and hismother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of thetribe of Dan:)

03:024:012 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

03:024:013 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:024:014 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

03:024:015 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

03:024:016 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

03:024:017 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

03:024:018 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast forbeast.

03:024:019 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hathdone, so shall it be done to him;

03:024:020 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hathcaused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

03:024:021 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he thatkilleth a man, he shall be put to death.

03:024:022 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, asfor one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

03:024:023 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

03:025:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

03:025:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

03:025:003 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

03:025:004 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto theland, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thyfield, nor prune thy vineyard.

03:025:005 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shaltnot reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: forit is a year of rest unto the land.

03:025:006 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee,and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hiredservant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.

03:025:007 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

03:025:008 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seventimes seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths ofyears shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

03:025:009 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound onthe tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonementshall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

03:025:010 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

03:025:011 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

03:025:012 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eatthe increase thereof out of the field.

03:025:013 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto hispossession.

03:025:014 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought ofthy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

03:025:015 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

03:025:016 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

03:025:017 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shaltfear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

03:025:018 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, anddo them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

03:025:019 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat yourfill, and dwell therein in safety.

03:025:020 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year?behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

03:025:021 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

03:025:022 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

03:025:023 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, forye are strangers and sojourners with me.

03:025:024 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant aredemption for the land.

03:025:025 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

03:025:026 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

03:025:027 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

03:025:028 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

03:025:029 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

03:025:030 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

03:025:031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round aboutthem shall be counted as the fields of the country: they maybe redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

03:025:032 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses ofthe cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at anytime.

03:025:033 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

03:025:034 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

03:025:035 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

03:025:036 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; thatthy brother may live with thee.

03:025:037 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thyvictuals for increase.

03:025:038 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of theland of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be yourGod.

03:025:039 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and besold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as abondservant:

03:025:040 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.

03:025:041 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

03:025:042 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of theland of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

03:025:043 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thyGod.

03:025:044 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

03:025:045 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojournamong you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families thatare with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall beyour possession.

03:025:046 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your childrenafter you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall beyour bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children ofIsrael, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

03:025:047 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thybrother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself untothe stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of thestranger's family:

03:025:048 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

03:025:049 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

03:025:050 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

03:025:051 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them heshall give again the price of his redemption out of the moneythat he was bought for.

03:025:052 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile,then he shall count with him, and according unto his yearsshall he give him again the price of his redemption.

03:025:053 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and theother shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

03:025:054 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go outin the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

03:025:055 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

03:026:001 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

03:026:002 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I amthe LORD.

03:026:003 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and dothem;

03:026:004 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shallyield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yieldtheir fruit.

03:026:005 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and thevintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eatyour bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

03:026:006 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, andnone shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out ofthe land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

03:026:007 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

03:026:008 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

03:026:009 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, andmultiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

03:026:010 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because ofthe new.

03:026:011 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhoryou.

03:026:012 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shallbe my people.

03:026:013 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

03:026:014 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

03:026:015 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

03:026:016 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

03:026:017 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

03:026:018 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then Iwill punish you seven times more for your sins.

03:026:019 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make yourheaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

03:026:020 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shallnot yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the landyield their fruits.

03:026:021 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me;I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according toyour sins.

03:026:022 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you ofyour children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few innumber; and your high ways shall be desolate.

03:026:023 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but willwalk contrary unto me;

03:026:024 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish youyet seven times for your sins.

03:026:025 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge thequarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered togetherwithin your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; andye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

03:026:026 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten womenshall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver youyour bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not besatisfied.

03:026:027 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walkcontrary unto me;

03:026:028 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, evenI, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

03:026:029 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of yourdaughters shall ye eat.

03:026:030 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images,and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and mysoul shall abhor you.

03:026:031 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuariesunto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweetodours.

03:026:032 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

03:026:033 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out asword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and yourcities waste.

03:026:034 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it liethdesolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall theland rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

03:026:035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

03:026:036 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

03:026:037 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

03:026:038 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

03:026:039 And they that are left of you shall pine away in theiriniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities oftheir fathers shall they pine away with them.

03:026:040 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity oftheir fathers, with their trespass which they trespassedagainst me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

03:026:041 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

03:026:042 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

03:026:043 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

03:026:044 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of theirenemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them,to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them:for I am the LORD their God.

03:026:045 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of theirancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt inthe sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am theLORD.

03:026:046 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

03:027:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:027:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When aman shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for theLORD by thy estimation.

03:027:003 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years oldeven unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fiftyshekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

03:027:004 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

03:027:005 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

03:027:006 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

03:027:007 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

03:027:008 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

03:027:009 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto theLORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall beholy.

03:027:010 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or abad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast,then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

03:027:011 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer asacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beastbefore the priest:

03:027:012 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: asthou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

03:027:013 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifthpart thereof unto thy estimation.

03:027:014 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto theLORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good orbad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

03:027:015 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then heshall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation untoit, and it shall be his.

03:027:016 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

03:027:017 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

03:027:018 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

03:027:019 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

03:027:020 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

03:027:021 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

03:027:022 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

03:027:023 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

03:027:024 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

03:027:025 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

03:027:026 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.

03:027:027 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem itaccording to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part ofit thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be soldaccording to thy estimation.

03:027:028 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote untothe LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and ofthe field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: everydevoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.

03:027:029 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

03:027:030 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.

03:027:031 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

03:027:032 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even ofwhatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy untothe LORD.

03:027:033 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shallhe change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and thechange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

03:027:034 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
