11:4"'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.11:5The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.11:6The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she is unclean to you.11:7The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.11:8Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
11:9"'These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.11:10All that don't have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,11:11and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.11:12Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
11:13"'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,11:14and the red kite, any kind of black kite,11:15any kind of raven,11:16the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,11:17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,11:18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,11:19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
11:20"'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.11:21Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.11:22Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.11:23But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
11:24"'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.11:25Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
11:26"'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.11:27Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.11:28He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
11:29"'These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,11:30the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.11:31These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.11:32On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean.11:33Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.11:34All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.11:35Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.11:36Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.11:37If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.11:38But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
11:39"'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.11:40He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
11:41"'Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.11:42Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.11:43You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.11:44For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.11:45For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
11:46"'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,11:47to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.'"
12:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,12:2"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.12:3In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.12:4She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.12:5But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.
12:6"'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering:12:7and he shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood.
"'This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.12:8If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.'"
13:1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,13:2"When a man shall have a rising in his body's skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons, the priests:13:3and the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body's skin, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean.13:4If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn't deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn't turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.13:5The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague hasn't spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.13:6The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn't spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.13:7But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.13:8The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
13:9"When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;13:10and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising,13:11it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.
13:12"If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest;13:13then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.13:14But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.13:15The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.13:16Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest;13:17and the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
13:18"When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,13:19and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;13:20and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.13:21But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn't deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.13:22If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.13:23But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn't spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:24"Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,13:25then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.13:26But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn't lower than the skin, but is faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days.13:27The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.13:28If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn't spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.
13:29"When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,13:30then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.13:31If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn't deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days.13:32On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn't spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn't deeper than the skin,13:33then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days.13:34On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn't spread in the skin, and its appearance isn't deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.13:35But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,13:36then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.13:37But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:38"When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots;13:39then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
13:40"If a man's hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.13:41If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.13:42But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.13:43Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,13:44he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
13:45"The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, 'Unclean! Unclean!'13:46All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.
13:47"The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;13:48whether it is in warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin;13:49if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.13:50The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.13:51He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.13:52He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
13:53"If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn't spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;13:54then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more days.13:55Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn't changed its color, and the plague hasn't spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.13:56If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:13:57and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is.13:58The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean."
13:59This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
14:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
14:2"This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,14:3and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,14:4then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.14:5The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.14:6As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.14:7He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
14:8"He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.14:9It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
14:10"On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.14:11The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
14:12"The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.14:13He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.14:14The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.14:15The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.14:16The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh.14:17The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.14:18The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh.
14:19"The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;14:20and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
14:21"If he is poor, and can't afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;14:22and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
14:23"On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Yahweh.14:24The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.14:25He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.14:26The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;14:27and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Yahweh.14:28Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.14:29The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Yahweh.14:30He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,14:31even such as he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Yahweh."
14:32This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
14:33Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,14:34"When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,14:35then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.'14:36The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.14:37He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;14:38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.14:39The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,14:40then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:14:41and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.14:42They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
14:43"If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;14:44then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.14:45He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house's mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
14:46"Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.14:47He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
14:48"If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.14:49To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.14:50He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.14:51He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.14:52He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;14:53but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean."
14:54This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,14:55and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,14:56and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;14:57to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean.
This is the law of leprosy.
15:1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,15:2"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.15:3This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
15:4"'Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean.15:5Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.15:6He who sits on anything whereon the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:7"'He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:8"'If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:9"'Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean.15:10Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:11"'Whoever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:12"'The earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
15:13"'When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
15:14"'On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before Yahweh to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest:15:15and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh for his discharge.
15:16"'If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.15:17Every garment, and every skin, whereon the semen is, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.15:18If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:19"'If a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
15:20"'Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean.15:21Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.15:22Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.15:23If it is on the bed, or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.
15:24"'If any man lies with her, and her monthly flow is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies shall be unclean.
15:25"'If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period: she is unclean.15:26Every bed whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period: and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period.15:27Whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:28"'But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.15:29On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.15:30The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Yahweh for the uncleanness of her discharge.
15:31"'Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.'"
15:32This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby;15:33and of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a discharge, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
16:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Yahweh, and died;16:2and Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.
16:3"Herewith shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.16:4He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on.16:5He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
16:6"Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.16:7He shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting.16:8Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.16:9Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer him for a sin offering.16:10But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.
16:11"Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.16:12He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:16:13and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.16:14He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
16:15"Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:16:16and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.16:17There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
16:18"He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull's blood, and some of the goat's blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.16:19He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
16:20"When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.16:21Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.16:22The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.
16:23"Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.16:24Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.16:25The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.
16:26"He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.16:27The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.16:28He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
16:29"It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you:16:30for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before Yahweh.16:31It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever.16:32The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father's place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.16:33Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
16:34"This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins."
It was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.
17:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,17:2"Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: 'This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded,17:3Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,17:4and hasn't brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to Yahweh before the tabernacle of Yahweh: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.17:5This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh.17:6The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.17:7They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.'
17:8"You shall say to them, 'Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,17:9and doesn't bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Yahweh; that man shall be cut off from his people.
17:10"'Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.17:11For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.17:12Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."
17:13"'Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.17:14For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, "You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off."
17:15"'Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.17:16But if he doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.'"
18:1Yahweh said to Moses,18:2"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am Yahweh your God.18:3You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.18:4You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am Yahweh your God.18:5You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.
18:6"'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.
18:7"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
18:8"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness.
18:9"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.
18:10"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.
18:11"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
18:12"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's near kinswoman.
18:13"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's near kinswoman.
18:14"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.
18:15"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
18:16"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
18:17"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18:18"'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.
18:19"'You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
18:20"'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.
18:21"'You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh.
18:22"'You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.
18:23"'You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it; neither shall any woman give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
18:24"'Don't defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.18:25The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.18:26You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;18:27(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);18:28that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
18:29"'For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.18:30Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am Yahweh your God.'"
19:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,19:2"Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, 'You shall be holy; for I Yahweh your God am holy.
19:3"'Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.
19:4"'Don't turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.
19:5"'When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.19:6It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.19:7If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;19:8but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
19:9"'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.19:10You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.
19:11"'You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
19:12"'You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
19:13"'You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
19:14"'You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.
19:15"'You shall do no injustice in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
19:16"'You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people; neither shall you stand against thelifeof your neighbor. I am Yahweh.

"'neither shall there come upon on you a garment made of two kinds of material.
19:20"'If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed, or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.19:21He shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.19:22The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Yahweh for his sin which he has committed: and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
19:23"'When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit asforbidden.Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.19:24But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to Yahweh.19:25In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you.

19:33"'If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.19:34The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.
19:35"'You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.19:36You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.19:37You shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them. I am Yahweh.'"
20:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,20:2"Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.20:3I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.20:4If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don't put him to death;20:5then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
20:6"'The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
20:7"'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.20:8You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

20:10"'The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.20:11The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

20:16"'If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
20:17"'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

20:19"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.20:20If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
20:21"'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
20:22"'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.20:23You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.20:24But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
20:25"'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.20:26You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
20:27"'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'"
21:1Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people;21:2except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,21:3and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.21:4He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
21:5"'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.21:6They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
21:7"'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God.21:8You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
21:9"'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
21:10"'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes;21:11neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;21:12neither 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 Yahweh.
21:13"'He shall take a wife in her virginity.21:14A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.21:15He shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.'"
21:16Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,21:17"Say to Aaron, 'None of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.21:18For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,21:19or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,21:20or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;21:21no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.21:22He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.21:23He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'"
21:24So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
22:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,22:2"Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
22:3"Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
22:4"'Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;22:5or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;22:6the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.22:7When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.22:8That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
22:9"'They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
22:10"'No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.22:11But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.22:12If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.22:13But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.
22:14"'If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.22:15The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,22:16and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'"
22:17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,22:18"Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, 'Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering;22:19that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.22:20But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.22:21Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.22:22Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.22:23Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.22:24That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to Yahweh; neither shall you do thus in your land.22:25Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.'"
22:26Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,22:27"When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.22:28Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
22:29"When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.22:30It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.
22:31"Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.22:32You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,22:33who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh."
23:1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,23:2"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
23:3"'Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.
23:4"'These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.23:5In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Yahweh's Passover.23:6On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.23:7In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.23:8But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.'"
