The Third Book of Moses, called
Leviticus
1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of
the congregation, saying,
1:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you
bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle,
even
of the herd, and of the flock.
1:3 If his offering
be
a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall
offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD.
1:4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall
be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
1:5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's
sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar
that
is by
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
1:6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
1:7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the
wood in order upon the fire:
1:8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat,
in order upon the wood that
is
on the fire which
is
upon the altar:
1:9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall
burn all on the altar,
to be
a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
1:10¶ And if his offering
be
of the flocks,
namely
, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a
male without blemish.
1:11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD:
and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the
altar.
1:12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the
priest shall lay them in order on the wood that
is
on the fire which
is
upon the altar:
1:13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest
shall bring
it
all, and burn
it
upon the altar: it
is
a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
1:14¶ And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD
be
of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young
pigeons.
1:15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and
burn
it
on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the
altar:
1:16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the
altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
1:17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof,
but
shall not divide
it
asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that
is
upon the fire: it
is
a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus Chapter 2
2:1 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall
be
of
fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
2:2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take
thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the
frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the
altar,
to be
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
2:3 And the remnant of the meat offering
shall be
Aaron's and his sons':
it is
a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:4¶ And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven,
it shall be
unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed
with oil.
2:5¶ And if thy oblation
be
a meat offering
baken
in a pan, it shall be
of
fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
2:6
Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it
is
a meat offering.
2:7¶ And if thy oblation
be
a meat offering
baken
in the fryingpan, it shall be made
of
fine flour with oil.
2:8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto
the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the
altar.
2:9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and
shall burn
it
upon the altar:
it is
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
2:10 And that which is left of the meat offering
shall be
Aaron's and his sons':
it is
a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with
leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD
made by fire.
2:12¶ As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the
LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt;
neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking
from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
2:14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou
shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried
by the fire,
even
corn beaten out of full ears.
2:15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it
is
a meat offering.
2:16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it,
part
of the beaten corn thereof, and
part
of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof:
it is
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus Chapter 3
3:1 And if his oblation
be
a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer
it
of the herd; whether
it be
a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
3:2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests
shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
3:3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made
by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that
is
upon the inwards,
3:4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that
is
on them, which
is
by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he
take away.
3:5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which
is
upon the wood that
is
on the fire:
it is
an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
3:6¶ And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD
be
of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
3:7 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the
LORD.
3:8 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before
the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood
thereof round about upon the altar.
3:9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made
by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof,
and
the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that
covereth the inwards, and all the fat that
is
upon the inwards,
3:10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that
is
upon them, which
is
by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he
take away.
3:11 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar:
it is
the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.
3:12¶ And if his offering
be
a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.
3:13 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the
tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood
thereof upon the altar round about.
3:14 And he shall offer thereof his offering,
even
an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and
all the fat that
is
upon the inwards,
3:15 And the two kidneys, and the fat that
is
upon them, which
is
by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he
take away.
3:16 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar:
it is
the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat
is
the LORD'S.
3:17
It shall be
a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that
ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Leviticus Chapter 4
4:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
4:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD
concerning things
which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
4:3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people;
then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without
blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
4:4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head,
and kill the bullock before the LORD.
4:5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
4:6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood
seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
4:7 And the priest shall put
some
of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD,
which
is
in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the
bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which
is at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that
is
upon the inwards,
4:9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that
is
upon them, which
is
by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he
take away,
4:10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings:
and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
4:11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with
his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
4:12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean
place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire:
where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
4:13¶ And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and
the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done
somewhat against
any of the commandments of the LORD
concerning things
which should not be done, and are guilty;
4:14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4:15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of
the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
4:16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the
tabernacle of the congregation:
4:17 And the priest shall dip his finger
in some
of the blood, and sprinkle
it
seven times before the LORD,
even
before the vail.
4:18 And he shall put
some
of the blood upon the horns of the altar which
is
before the LORD, that
is
in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the
bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which
is at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4:19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn
it
upon the altar.
4:20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for
them, and it shall be forgiven them.
4:21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he
burned the first bullock: it
is
a sin offering for the congregation.
4:22¶ When a ruler hath sinned, and done
somewhat
through ignorance
against
any of the commandments of the LORD his God
concerning things
which should not be done, and is guilty;
4:23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
4:24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it
is
a sin offering.
4:25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put
it
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at
the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
4:26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice
of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as
concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
4:27¶ And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he
doeth
somewhat against
any of the commandments of the LORD
concerning things
which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
4:28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin
which he hath sinned.
4:29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the
sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
4:30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put
it
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
4:31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from
off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn
it
upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
4:32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
4:33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it
for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
4:34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put
it
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
4:35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is
taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn
them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and
the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it
shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus Chapter 5
5:1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and
is
a witness, whether he hath seen or known
of it
; if he do not utter
it
, then he shall bear his iniquity.
5:2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether
it be
a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase
of unclean creeping things, and
if
it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
5:3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness
it be
that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth
of it
, then he shall be guilty.
5:4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with
his
lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever
it be
that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he
knoweth
of it
, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5:5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these
things
, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that
thing
:
5:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he
hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin
offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
5:7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto
the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
5:8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer
that
which
is
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall
not divide
it
asunder:
5:9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the
altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar:
it
is
a sin offering.
5:10 And he shall offer the second
for
a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven
him.
5:11¶ But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an
ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither
shall he put
any
frankincense thereon: for it
is
a sin offering.
5:12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his
handful of it,
even
a memorial thereof, and burn
it
on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it
is
a sin offering.
5:13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he
hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and
the remnant
shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
5:14¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
5:15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things
of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without
blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the
shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
5:16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing,
and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the
priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering,
and it shall be forgiven him.
5:17¶ And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are
forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist
it
not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
5:18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make
an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist
it
not, and it shall be forgiven him.
5:19 It
is
a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Leviticus Chapter 6
6:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his
neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
6:3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth
falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
6:4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing
which he found,
Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in
the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto,
and
give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
6:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto
the priest:
6:7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.
6:8¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This
is
the law of the burnt offering: It
is
the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the
morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
6:10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches
shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed
with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
6:11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put
out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt
offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace
offerings.
6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
6:14¶ And this
is
the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the
LORD, before the altar.
6:15 And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering,
and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which
is
upon the meat offering, and shall burn
it
upon the altar
for
a sweet savour,
even
the memorial of it, unto the LORD.
6:16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened
bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of
the congregation they shall eat it.
6:17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it
unto them for
their portion of my offerings made by fire; it
is
most holy, as
is
the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
6:18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it.
It shall be
a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD
made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
6:19¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:20 This
is
the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in
the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a
meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
6:21 In a pan it shall be made with oil;
and when it is
baken, thou shalt bring it in:
and
the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer
for
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
6:22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it:
it is
a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
6:23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not
be eaten.
6:24¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6:25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This
is
the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed
shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it
is
most holy.
6:26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall
it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6:27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is
sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon
it was sprinkled in the holy place.
6:28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be
sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
6:29 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it
is
most holy.
6:30 And no sin offering, whereof
any
of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile
withal
in the holy
place
, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
Leviticus Chapter 7
7:1 Likewise this
is
the law of the trespass offering: it
is
most holy.
7:2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the
trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the
altar.
7:3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that
covereth the inwards,
7:4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that
is
on them, which
is
by the flanks, and the caul
that is
above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
7:5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar
for
an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it
is
a trespass offering.
7:6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the
holy place: it
is
most holy.
7:7 As the sin offering
is
, so
is
the trespass offering:
there is
one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have
it
.
7:8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering,
even
the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath
offered.
7:9 And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is
dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth
it.
7:10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of
Aaron have, one
as much
as another.
7:11 And this
is
the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the
LORD.
7:12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice
of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers
anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer
for
his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace
offerings.
7:14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation
for
an heave offering unto the LORD,
and
it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
7:15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving
shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it
until the morning.
7:16 But if the sacrifice of his offering
be
a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he
offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be
eaten:
7:17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be
burnt with fire.
7:18 And if
any
of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the
third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that
offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall
bear his iniquity.
7:19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean
thing
shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all
that be clean shall eat thereof.
7:20 But the soul that eateth
of
the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that
pertain
unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut
off from his people.
7:21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean
thing
,
as
the uncleanness of man, or
any
unclean beast, or any abominable unclean
thing
, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which
pertain
unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
7:22¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7:23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat,
of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
7:24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which
is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat
of it.
7:25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth
it
shall be cut off from his people.
7:26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood,
whether it be
of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
7:27 Whatsoever soul
it be
that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his
people.
7:28¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7:29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice
of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of
the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
7:30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat
with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved
for
a wave offering before the LORD.
7:31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be
Aaron's and his sons'.
7:32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest
for
an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
7:33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace
offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for
his
part.
7:34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of
Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them
unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the
children of Israel.
7:35¶ This
is the portion
of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the
offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day
when
he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;
7:36 Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in
the day that he anointed them,
by
a statute for ever throughout their generations.
7:37 This
is
the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering,
and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of
the peace offerings;
7:38 Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he
commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the
wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus Chapter 8
8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil,
and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened
bread;
8:3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
8:4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered
together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8:5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This
is
the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
8:6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
8:7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed
him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the
curious girdle of the ephod, and bound
it
unto him therewith.
8:8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the
Urim and the Thummim.
8:9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre,
even
upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
8:10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that
was
therein, and sanctified them.
8:11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the
altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to
sanctify him.
8:13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them
with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
8:15 And he slew
it
; and Moses took the blood, and put
it
upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the
altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to
make reconciliation upon it.
8:16 And he took all the fat that
was
upon the inwards, and the caul
above
the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned
it
upon the altar.
8:17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire
without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:18¶ And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his
sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
8:19 And he killed
it
; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
8:20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces,
and the fat.
8:21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole
ram upon the altar: it
was
a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour,
and
an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:22¶ And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and
his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
8:23 And he slew
it
; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put
it
upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and
upon the great toe of his right foot.
8:24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of
their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great
toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round
about.
8:25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that
was
upon the inwards, and the caul
above
the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
8:26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that
was
before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and
one wafer, and put
them
on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
8:27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved
them
for
a wave offering before the LORD.
8:28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt
them
on the altar upon the burnt offering: they
were
consecrations for a sweet savour: it
is
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
8:29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it
for
a wave offering before the LORD:
for
of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which
was
upon the altar, and sprinkled
it
upon Aaron,
and
upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him;
and sanctified Aaron,
and
his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
8:31¶ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the
bread that
is
in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons
shall eat it.
8:32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with
fire.
8:33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
in
seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days
shall he consecrate you.
8:34 As he hath done this day,
so
the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
8:35 Therefore shall ye abide
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and
keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand
of Moses.
Leviticus Chapter 9
9:1 And it came to pass on the eighth day,
that
Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
9:2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a
ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer
them
before the LORD.
9:3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of
the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb,
both
of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
9:4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD;
and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
9:5¶ And they brought
that
which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the
congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
9:6 And Moses said, This
is
the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the
LORD shall appear unto you.
9:7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering,
and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people:
and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the
LORD commanded.
9:8¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin
offering, which
was
for himself.
9:9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger
in the blood, and put
it
upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the
altar:
9:10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin
offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
9:11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
9:12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
9:13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof,
and the head: and he burnt
them
upon the altar.
9:14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt
them
upon the burnt offering on the altar.
9:15¶ And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which
was
the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the
first.
9:16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
9:17 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt
it
upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
9:18 He slew also the bullock and the ram
for
a sacrifice of peace offerings, which
was
for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he
sprinkled upon the altar round about,
9:19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which
covereth
the inwards
, and the kidneys, and the caul
above
the liver:
9:20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the
altar:
9:21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved
for
a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
9:22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came
down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace
offerings.
9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came
out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the
people.
9:24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the
altar the burnt offering and the fat:
which
when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Leviticus Chapter 10
10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer,
and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before
the LORD, which he commanded them not.
10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died
before the LORD.
10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This
is it
that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me,
and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
10:4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of
Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the
sanctuary out of the camp.
10:5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as
Moses had said.
10:6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,
Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath
come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel,
bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
10:7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD
is
upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
10:8¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye
go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die:
it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations:
10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between
unclean and clean;
10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the
LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
10:12¶ And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his
sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of
the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it
is
most holy:
10:13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it
is
thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so
I am commanded.
10:14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place;
thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for
they be
thy due, and thy sons' due,
which
are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
10:15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the
offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave
it for
a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with
thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
10:16¶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and,
behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of
Aaron
which were
left
alive
, saying,
10:17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it
is
most holy, and
God
hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement
for them before the LORD?
10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy
place
: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy
place
, as I commanded.
10:19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin
offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have
befallen me: and
if
I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight
of the LORD?
10:20 And when Moses heard
that
, he was content.
Leviticus Chapter 11
11:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These
are
the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that
are
on the earth.
11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted,
and
cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them
that divide the hoof:
as
the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is
unclean unto you.
11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is
unclean unto you.
11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is
unclean unto you.
11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he
is
unclean to you.
11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch;
they
are
unclean to you.
11:9¶ These shall ye eat of all that
are
in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and
in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of
all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which
is
in the waters, they
shall be
an abomination unto you:
11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their
flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that
shall be
an abomination unto you.
11:13¶ And these
are they which
ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they
are
an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
11:15 Every raven after his kind;
11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his
kind,
11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon
all
four,
shall be
an abomination unto you.
11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon
all
four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
11:22
Even
these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after
his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
11:23 But all
other
flying creeping things, which have four feet,
shall be
an abomination unto you.
11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them
shall be unclean until the even.
11:25 And whosoever beareth
ought
of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
11:26
The carcases
of every beast which divideth the hoof, and
is
not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud,
are
unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
11:27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on
all
four, those
are
unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the
even.
11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: they
are
unclean unto you.
11:29¶ These also
shall be
unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the
weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the
mole.
11:31 These
are
unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be
dead, shall be unclean until the even.
11:32 And upon whatsoever
any
of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether
it be
any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel
it be
, wherein
any
work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the
even; so it shall be cleansed.
11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto
any
of them falleth, whatsoever
is
in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
11:34 Of all meat which may be eaten,
that
on which
such
water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every
such
vessel shall be unclean.
11:35 And every
thing
whereupon
any part
of their carcase falleth shall be unclean;
whether it be
oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down:
for
they
are
unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
11:36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit,
wherein there is
plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall
be unclean.
11:37 And if
any part
of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it
shall be
clean.
11:38 But if
any
water be put upon the seed, and
any part
of their carcase fall thereon, it
shall be
unclean unto you.
11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase
thereof shall be unclean until the even.
11:40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
shall be
an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon
all
four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon
the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they
are
an abomination.
11:43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that
creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be
defiled thereby.
11:44 For I
am
the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be
holy; for I
am
holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
11:45 For I
am
the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye
shall therefore be holy, for I
am
holy.
11:46 This
is
the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that
moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the
beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Leviticus Chapter 12
12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed,
and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the
days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty
days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the
days of her purifying be fulfilled.
12:5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in
her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore
and six days.
12:6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a
daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a
young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
12:7 Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she
shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This
is
the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
12:8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles,
or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin
offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be
clean.
Leviticus Chapter 13
13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
13:2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright
spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh
like
the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto
one of his sons the priests:
13:3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and
when
the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight
be
deeper than the skin of his flesh, it
is
a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him
unclean.
13:4 If the bright spot
be
white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight
be
not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the
priest shall shut up
him that hath
the plague seven days:
13:5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold,
if
the plague in his sight be at a stay,
and
the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven
days more:
13:6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold,
if
the plague
be
somewhat dark,
and
the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it
is but
a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
13:7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been
seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
13:8 And
if
the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it
is
a leprosy.
13:9¶ When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought
unto the priest;
13:10 And the priest shall see
him
: and, behold,
if
the rising
be
white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and
there be
quick raw flesh in the rising;
13:11 It
is
an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him
unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he
is
unclean.
13:12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all
the skin of
him that hath
the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
13:13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold,
if
the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce
him
clean
that hath
the plague: it is all turned white: he
is
clean.
13:14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
13:15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean:
for
the raw flesh
is
unclean: it
is
a leprosy.
13:16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come
unto the priest;
13:17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold,
if
the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce
him
clean
that hath
the plague: he
is
clean.
13:18¶ The flesh also, in which,
even
in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
13:19 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot,
white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
13:20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it
be
in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it
is
a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
13:21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold,
there be
no white hairs therein, and
if
it
be
not lower than the skin, but
be
somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
13:22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce
him unclean: it
is
a plague.
13:23 But if the bright spot stay in his place,
and
spread not, it
is
a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:24¶ Or if there be
any
flesh, in the skin whereof
there is
a hot burning, and the quick
flesh
that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
13:25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold,
if
the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it
be in
sight deeper than the skin; it
is
a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it
is
the plague of leprosy.
13:26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold,
there be
no white hair in the bright spot, and it
be
no lower than the
other
skin, but
be
somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
13:27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day:
and
if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean: it
is
the plague of leprosy.
13:28 And if the bright spot stay in his place,
and
spread not in the skin, but it
be
somewhat dark; it
is
a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it
is
an inflammation of the burning.
13:29¶ If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
13:30 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it
be
in sight deeper than the skin;
and there be
in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it
is
a dry scall,
even
a leprosy upon the head or beard.
13:31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it
be
not in sight deeper than the skin, and
that there is
no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up
him that hath
the plague of the scall seven days:
13:32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold,
if
the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall
be
not in sight deeper than the skin;
13:33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest
shall shut up
him that hath
the scall seven days more:
13:34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold,
if
the scall be not spread in the skin, nor
be
in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and
he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
13:35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
13:36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in
the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he
is
unclean.
13:37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and
that
there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he
is
clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:38¶ If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright
spots,
even
white bright spots;
13:39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold,
if
the bright spots in the skin of their flesh
be
darkish white; it
is
a freckled spot
that
groweth in the skin; he
is
clean.
13:40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he
is
bald;
yet is
he clean.
13:41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his
face, he
is
forehead bald:
yet is
he clean.
13:42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore;
it
is
a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
13:43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold,
if
the rising of the sore
be
white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy
appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
13:44 He is a leprous man, he
is
unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague
is
in his head.
13:45 And the leper in whom the plague
is
, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering
upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
13:46 All the days wherein the plague
shall be
in him he shall be defiled; he
is
unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp
shall
his habitation
be
.
13:47¶ The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in,
whether it be
a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
13:48 Whether
it be
in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any
thing made of skin;
13:49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it
is
a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
13:50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up
it that hath
the plague seven days:
13:51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be
spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin,
or
in any work that is made of skin; the plague
is
a fretting leprosy; it
is
unclean.
13:52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or
in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it
is
a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
13:53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in
the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
13:54 Then the priest shall command that they wash
the thing
wherein the plague
is
, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
13:55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and,
behold,
if
the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it
is
unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it
is
fret inward,
whether
it
be
bare within or without.
13:56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague
be
somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the
garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
13:57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the
woof, or in any thing of skin; it
is
a spreading
plague
: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague
is
with fire.
13:58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin
it be
, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be
washed the second time, and shall be clean.
13:59 This
is
the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in
the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to
pronounce it unclean.
Leviticus Chapter 14
14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14:2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall
be brought unto the priest:
14:3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look,
and, behold,
if
the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
14:4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two
birds alive
and
clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen
vessel over running water:
14:6 As 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:
14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy
seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose
into the open field.
14:8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all
his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he
shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
14:9 But it 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:
and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he
shall be clean.
14:10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one
ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour
for
a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
14:11 And the priest that maketh
him
clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before
the LORD,
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
14:12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass
offering, and the log of oil, and wave them
for
a wave offering before the LORD:
14:13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin
offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering
is
the priest's,
so is
the trespass offering: it
is
most holy:
14:14 And the priest shall take
some
of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put
it
upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
14:15 And the priest shall take
some
of the log of oil, and pour
it
into the palm of his own left hand:
14:16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that
is
in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times
before the LORD:
14:17 And of the rest of the oil that
is
in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is
to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of
his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:
14:18 And the remnant of the oil that
is
in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be
cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
14:19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for
him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill
the burnt offering:
14:20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon
the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be
clean.
14:21 And if he
be
poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb
for
a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth
deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
14:22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and
the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
14:23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the
priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
14:24 And the 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 the LORD:
14:25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall
take
some
of the blood of the trespass offering, and put
it
upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
14:26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
14:27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger
some
of the oil that
is
in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
14:28 And the priest shall put of the oil that
is
in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and
upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot,
upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
14:29 And the rest of the oil that
is
in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed,
to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
14:30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons,
such as he can get;
14:31
Even
such as he is able to get, the one
for
a sin offering, and the other
for
a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
14:32 This
is
the law
of him
in whom
is
the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get
that which pertaineth
to his cleansing.
14:33¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your
possession;
14:35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It
seemeth to me
there is
as it were a plague in the house:
14:36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the
priest go
into it
to see the plague, that all that
is
in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see
the house:
14:37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold,
if
the plague
be
in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in
sight
are
lower than the wall;
14:38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and
shut up the house seven days:
14:39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and,
behold,
if
the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
14:40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the
plague
is
, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
14:41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they
shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean
place:
14:42 And they shall take other stones, and put
them
in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall
plaster the house.
14:43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he
hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it
is plastered;
14:44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold,
if
the plague be spread in the house, it
is
a fretting leprosy in the house: it
is
unclean.
14:45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber
thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry
them
forth out of the city into an unclean place.
14:46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up
shall be unclean until the even.
14:47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth
in the house shall wash his clothes.
14:48 And if the priest shall come in, and look
upon it
, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was
plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague
is healed.
14:49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop:
14:50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running
water:
14:51 And he 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:
14:52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the
running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the
hyssop, and with the scarlet:
14:53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields,
and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
14:54 This
is
the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
14:55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
14:56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
14:57 To teach when
it is
unclean, and when
it is
clean: this
is
the law of leprosy.
Leviticus Chapter 15
15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a
running issue out of his flesh,
because of
his issue he
is
unclean.
15:3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with
his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it
is
his uncleanness.
15:4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every
thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
15:5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:6 And he that sitteth on
any
thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his
clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall
wash his clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be
unclean.
15:10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean
until the even: and he that beareth
any of
those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his
hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be
broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
15:13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall
number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe
his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
15:14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and give them unto the priest:
15:15 And the priest shall offer them, the one
for
a sin offering, and the other
for
a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the
LORD for his issue.
15:16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash
all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation,
shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
15:18 The woman also with whom man shall lie
with
seed of copulation, they shall
both
bathe
themselves
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:19¶ And if a woman have an issue,
and
her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and
whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
15:20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean:
every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
15:21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his
clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:23 And if it
be
on
her
bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be
unclean until the even.
15:24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall
be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
15:25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of
her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of
the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she
shall be
unclean.
15:26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her
as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean,
as the uncleanness of her separation.
15:27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his
clothes, and bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself
seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
15:29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young
pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
15:30 And the priest shall offer the one
for
a sin offering, and the other
for
a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the
LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
15:31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness;
that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that
is
among them.
15:32 This
is
the law of him that hath an issue, and
of him
whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
15:33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of
the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
Leviticus Chapter 16
16:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron,
when they offered before the LORD, and died;
16:2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come
not at all times into the holy
place
within the vail before the mercy seat, which
is
upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy
seat.
16:3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy
place
: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches
upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen
mitre shall he be attired: these
are
holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and
so
put them on.
16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids
of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
16:6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which
is
for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and
the other lot for the scapegoat.
16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer
him
for
a sin offering.
16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be
presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him,
and
to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
16:11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which
is
for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and
shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which
is
for himself:
16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the
altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and
bring
it
within the vail:
16:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the
cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that
is
upon the testimony, that he die not:
16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle
it
with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall
he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
16:15¶ Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that
is
for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as
he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and
before the mercy seat:
16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy
place
, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their
transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the
congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
16:17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he
goeth in to make an atonement in the holy
place
, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his
household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
16:18 And he shall go out unto the altar that
is
before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of
the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put
it
upon the horns of the altar round about.
16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times,
and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
16:20¶ And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy
place
, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the
live goat:
16:21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and
confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and
shall send
him
away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
16:22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not
inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
16:23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy
place
, and shall leave them there:
16:24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his
garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering
of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
16:25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
16:26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and
bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
16:27 And the bullock
for
the sin offering, and the goat
for
the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy
place
, shall
one
carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and
their flesh, and their dung.
16:28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in
water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
16:29¶ And
this
shall be a statute for ever unto you:
that
in the seventh month, on the tenth
day
of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all,
whether it be
one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
16:30 For on that day shall
the priest
make an atonement for you, to cleanse you,
that
ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
16:31 It
shall be
a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for
ever.
16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to
minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the
atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes,
even
the holy garments:
16:33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make
an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he
shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the
congregation.
16:34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement
for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the
LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus Chapter 17
17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel,
and say unto them; This
is
the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
17:3 What man soever
there be
of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or
that killeth
it
out of the camp,
17:4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood
shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut
off from among his people:
17:5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which
they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them
for
peace offerings unto the LORD.
17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet
savour unto the LORD.
17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they
have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout
their generations.
17:8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man
there be
of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that
offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
17:9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his
people.
17:10 And whatsoever man
there be
of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that
eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that
eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
17:11 For the life of the flesh
is
in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement
for your souls: for it
is
the blood
that
maketh an atonement for the soul.
17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat
blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
17:13 And whatsoever man
there be
of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which
hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour
out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
17:14 For
it is
the life of all flesh; the blood of it
is
for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall
eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh
is
the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
17:15 And every soul that eateth that which died
of itself
, or that which was torn
with beasts
,
whether it be
one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and
bathe
himself
in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
17:16 But if he wash
them
not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus Chapter 18
18:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your
God.
18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do:
and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not
do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I
am
the LORD your God.
18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do,
he shall live in them: I
am
the LORD.
18:6¶ None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to
uncover
their
nakedness: I
am
the LORD.
18:7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou
not uncover: she
is
thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it
is
thy father's nakedness.
18:9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of
thy mother,
whether she be
born at home, or born abroad,
even
their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
18:10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter,
even
their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs
is
thine own nakedness.
18:11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father,
she
is
thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
18:12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she
is
thy father's near kinswoman.
18:13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she
is
thy mother's near kinswoman.
18:14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt
not approach to his wife: she
is
thine aunt.
18:15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she
is
thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
18:16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it
is
thy brother's nakedness.
18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither
shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her
nakedness;
for
they
are
her near kinswomen: it
is
wickedness.
18:18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex
her
, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life
time
.
18:19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as
long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
18:20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile
thyself with her.
18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through
the fire
to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I
am
the LORD.
18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it
is
abomination.
18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it
is
confusion.
18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the
nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon
it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit
any
of these abominations;
neither
any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were
before you, and the land is defiled;)
18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out
the nations that
were
before you.
18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that
commit
them
shall be cut off from among their people.
18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that
ye
commit not
any one
of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I
am
the LORD your God.
Leviticus Chapter 19
19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto
them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God
am
holy.
19:3¶ Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my
sabbaths: I
am
the LORD your God.
19:4¶ Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I
am
the LORD your God.
19:5¶ And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye
shall offer it at your own will.
19:6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if
ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
19:7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it
is
abominable; it shall not be accepted.
19:8 Therefore
every one
that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed
thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
19:9¶ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly
reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy
harvest.
19:10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather
every
grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I
am
the LORD your God.
19:11¶ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to
another.
19:12¶ And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou
profane the name of thy God: I
am
the LORD.
19:13¶ Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob
him
: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the
morning.
19:14¶ Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the
blind, but shalt fear thy God: I
am
the LORD.
19:15¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect
the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty:
but
in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
19:16¶ Thou shalt not go up and down
as
a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of
thy neighbour: I
am
the LORD.
19:17¶ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any
wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
19:18¶ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of
thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I
am
the LORD.
19:19¶ Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender
with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither
shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
19:20¶ And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that
is
a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom
given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she
was not free.
19:21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation,
even
a ram for a trespass offering.
19:22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin
which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
19:23¶ And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all
manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as
uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not
be eaten of.
19:24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the
LORD
withal
.
19:25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may
yield unto you the increase thereof: I
am
the LORD your God.
19:26¶ Ye shall not eat
any thing
with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the
corners of thy beard.
19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any
marks upon you: I
am
the LORD.
19:29¶ Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest
the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
19:30¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
am
the LORD.
19:31¶ Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after
wizards, to be defiled by them: I
am
the LORD your God.
19:32¶ Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of
the old man, and fear thy God: I
am
the LORD.
19:33¶ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex
him.
19:34
But
the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you,
and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt:
I
am
the LORD your God.
19:35¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight,
or in measure.
19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have:
I
am
the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
19:37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them: I
am
the LORD.
Leviticus Chapter 20
20:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever
he be
of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that
giveth
any
of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the
land shall stone him with stones.
20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among
his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my
sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man,
when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
20:5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will
cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with
Molech, from among their people.
20:6¶ And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and
after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that
soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
20:7¶ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I
am
the LORD your God.
20:8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I
am
the LORD which sanctify you.
20:9¶ For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely
put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood
shall be
upon him.
20:10¶ 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.
20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's
nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be
upon them.
20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be
put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood
shall be
upon them.
20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be
upon them.
20:14 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 be no
wickedness among you.
20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye
shall slay the beast.
20:16 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.
20:17 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.
20:18 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.
20:19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of
thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their
iniquity.
20:20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
20:21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it
is
an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be
childless.
20:22¶ Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and
do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out
before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
20:24 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.
20:25 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.
20:26 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.
20:27¶ A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a
wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their
blood
shall be
upon them.
Leviticus Chapter 21
21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron,
and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
21:2 But for his kin, that is near unto him,
that is
, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter,
and for his brother,
21:3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no
husband; for her may he be defiled.
21:4
But
he shall not defile himself,
being
a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
21:5 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.
21:6 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.
21:7 They shall not take a wife
that is
a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her
husband: for he
is
holy unto his God.
21:8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God:
he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you,
am
holy.
21:9¶ And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing
the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
21:10 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;
21:11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his
father, or for his mother;
21:12 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.
21:13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
21:14 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.
21:15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do
sanctify him.
21:16¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever
he be
of thy seed in their generations that hath
any
blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
21:18 For whatsoever man
he be
that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that
hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be
scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21:21 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.
21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God,
both
of the most holy, and of the holy.
21:23 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.
21:24 And Moses told
it
unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Leviticus Chapter 22
22:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
22:2 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.
22:3 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.
22:4 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;
22:5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean,
or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
22:6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and
shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
22:7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of
the holy things; because it
is
his food.
22:8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn
with beasts
, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I
am
the LORD.
22:9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and
die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
22:10 There shall no stranger eat
of
the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat
of
the holy thing.
22:11 But if the priest buy
any
soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house:
they shall eat of his meat.
22:12 If the priest's daughter also be
married
unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
22:13 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 no stranger eat thereof.
22:14 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.
22:15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer unto the LORD;
22:16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy
things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
22:17¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
22:18 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;
22:19
Ye shall offer
at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of
the goats.
22:20
But
whatsoever hath a blemish,
that
shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
22:21 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.
22:22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye
shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon
the altar unto the LORD.
22:23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in
his parts, that mayest thou offer
for
a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
22:24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or
broken, or cut; neither shall ye make
any offering thereof
in your land.
22:25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of
any of these; because their corruption
is
in them,
and
blemishes
be
in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
22:26¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
22:27 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.
22:28 And
whether it be
cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
22:29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer
it
at your own will.
22:30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the
morrow: I
am
the LORD.
22:31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I
am
the LORD.
22:32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the
children of Israel: I
am
the LORD which hallow you,
22:33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I
am
the LORD.
Leviticus Chapter 23
23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning
the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim
to be
holy convocations,
even
these
are
my feasts.
23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day
is
the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work
therein
: it
is
the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
23:4¶ These
are
the feasts of the LORD,
even
holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
23:5 In the fourteenth
day
of the first month at even
is
the LORD'S passover.
23:6 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.
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
work therein.
23:8 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
.
23:9¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:10 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:
23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on
the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
23:12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without
blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
23:13 And the meat offering thereof
shall be
two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto
the LORD
for
a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof
shall be
of wine, the fourth
part
of an hin.
23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until
the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God:
it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:15¶ 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:
23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty
days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
23:17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth
deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven;
they are
the firstfruits unto the LORD.
23:18 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.
23:19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two
lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
23:20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits
for
a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the
LORD for the priest.
23:21 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.
23:22¶ 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.
23:23¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:24 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.
23:25 Ye shall do no servile work
therein
: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
23:26¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:27 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.
23:28 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.
23:29 For whatsoever soul
it be
that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among
his people.
23:30 And whatsoever soul
it be
that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among
his people.
23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work:
it shall be
a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32 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.
23:33¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:34 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.
23:35 On the first day
shall be
an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein
.
23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the
eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD: it
is
a solemn assembly;
and
ye shall do no servile work
therein
.
23:37 These
are
the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim
to be
holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing
upon his day:
23:38 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.
23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in
the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the
first day
shall be
a sabbath, and on the eighth day
shall be
a sabbath.
23:40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees,
branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the
brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
23:41 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.
23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall
dwell in booths:
23:43 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.
23:44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Leviticus Chapter 24
24:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive
beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
24:3 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.
24:4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD
continually.
24:5¶ And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two
tenth deals shall be in one cake.
24:6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table
before the LORD.
24:7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon
each
row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial,
even
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
24:8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually,
being taken
from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
24:9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy
place: for it
is
most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual
statute.
24:10¶ And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father
was
an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the
Israelitish
woman
and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
24:11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name
of the LORD
, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name
was
Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
24:12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.
24:13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24:14 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.
24:15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever
curseth his God shall bear his sin.
24:16 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.
24:17¶ And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
24:18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
24:19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall
it be done to him;
24:20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a
blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him
again
.
24:21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a
man, he shall be put to death.
24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of
your own country: for I
am
the LORD your God.
24:23¶ 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.
Leviticus Chapter 25
25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
25:2 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.
25:3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy
vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a
sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap,
neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed:
for
it is a year of rest unto the land.
25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy
servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that
sojourneth with thee,
25:7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that
are
in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
25:8¶ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times
seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee
forty and nine years.
25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth
day
of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound
throughout all your land.
25:10 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.
25:11 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.
25:12 For it
is
the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out
of the field.
25:13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
25:14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest
ought
of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
25:15 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:
25:16 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.
25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:
for I
am
the LORD your God.
25:18¶ Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do
them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
25:19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell
therein in safety.
25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall
not sow, nor gather in our increase:
25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall
bring forth fruit for three years.
25:22 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
.
25:23¶ The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land
is
mine; for ye
are
strangers and sojourners with me.
25:24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for
the land.
25:25¶ 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.
25:26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
25:27 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.
25:28 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.
25:29 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.
25:30 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.
25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall
be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall
go out in the jubile.
25:32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites,
and
the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any
time.
25:33 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.
25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it
is
their perpetual possession.
25:35¶ 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.
25:36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy
brother may live with thee.
25:37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals
for increase.
25:38 I
am
the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give
you the land of Canaan,
and
to be your God.
25:39¶ And if thy brother
that dwelleth
by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to
serve as a bondservant:
25:40
But
as an hired servant,
and
as a sojourner, he shall be with thee,
and
shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
25:41 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.
25:42 For they
are
my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be
sold as bondmen.
25:43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
25:44 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.
25:45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of
them shall ye buy, and of their families that
are
with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
25:46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
inherit
them for
a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the
children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
25:47¶ And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother
that dwelleth
by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger
or
sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
25:48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may
redeem him:
25:49 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.
25:50 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.
25:51 If
there be
yet many years
behind
, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of
the money that he was bought for.
25:52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall
count with him,
and
according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
25:53
And
as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him:
and the other
shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
25:54 And if he be not redeemed in these
years
, then he shall go out in the year of jubile,
both
he, and his children with him.
25:55 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.
Leviticus Chapter 26
26:1 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.
26:2¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
am
the LORD.
26:3¶ If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
26:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall
reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell
in your land safely.
26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall
make
you
afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go
through your land.
26:7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the
sword.
26:8 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.
26:9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you,
and establish my covenant with you.
26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
26:11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
26:12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my
people.
26:13 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.
26:14¶ But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments;
26:15 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:
26:16 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.
26:17 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.
26:18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish
you seven times more for your sins.
26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as
iron, and your earth as brass:
26:20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield
her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
26:21¶ And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I
will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
26:22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your
high
ways shall be desolate.
26:23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me;
26:24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven
times for your sins.
26:25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of
my
covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send
the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26:26
And
when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in
one oven, and they shall deliver
you
your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto
me;
26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will
chastise you seven times for your sins.
26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters
shall ye eat.
26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast
your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
26:31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell
therein shall be astonished at it.
26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after
you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and
ye
be
in your enemies' land;
even
then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in
your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
26:36 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.
26:37 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.
26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall
eat you up.
26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your
enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine
away with them.
26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers,
with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have
walked contrary unto me;
26:41 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:
26:42 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.
26:43 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.
26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, 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.
26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom
I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I
might be their God: I
am
the LORD.
26:46 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.
Leviticus Chapter 27
27:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall
make a singular vow, the persons
shall be
for the LORD by thy estimation.
27:3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto
sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after
the shekel of the sanctuary.
27:4 And if it
be
a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
27:5 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.
27:6 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.
27:7 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.
27:8 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.
27:9 And if
it be
a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that
any man
giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a
good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange
thereof shall be holy.
27:11 And if
it be
any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then
he shall present the beast before the priest:
27:12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest
it,
who art
the priest, so shall it be.
27:13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth
part
thereof unto thy estimation.
27:14¶ And when a man shall sanctify his house
to be
holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or
bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
27:15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the
fifth
part
of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
27:16 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.
27:17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy
estimation it shall stand.
27:18 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.
27:19 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.
27:20 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.
27:21 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.
27:22 And if
a man
sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which
is
not of the fields of his possession;
27:23 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.
27:24 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
.
27:25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the
sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
27:26¶ 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.
27:27 And if
it be
of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem
it
according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth
part
of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to
thy estimation.
27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD
of all that he hath,
both
of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or
redeemed: every devoted thing
is
most holy unto the LORD.
27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed;
but
shall surely be put to death.
27:30 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.
27:31 And if a man will at all redeem
ought
of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth
part
thereof.
27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock,
even
of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change
it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be
holy; it shall not be redeemed.
27:34 These
are
the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in
mount Sinai.
