\VS{2}Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any one of you wish to bring an offering unto the Lord: of the cattle, either of the herds, or of the flocks, shall ye bring your offering.

\VS{3}If his offering be a burnt-sacrifice of the herds, then shall he offer a male without blemish: unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall he bring it, that it may be favorably received for him before the Lord.

\VS{4}And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

\VS{5}And he shall kill the young steer before the Lord: and the sons of Aaron the priests shall bring near the blood, and they shall sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

\VS{6}And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.

\VS{7}And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire;

\VS{8}And the sons of Aaron the priests shall lay in order the parts, the head, and the fat, upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;

\VS{9}But its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, as a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

\VS{10}And if his offering be of the flocks, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice: then shall he offer a male without blemish as the same.

\VS{11}And he shall kill it on the side of the altar, northward, before the Lord; and the sons of Aaron the priests shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.

\VS{12}And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;

\VS{13}But the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall bring near the whole, and burn it upon the altar; it is a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

\VS{14}And if of fowls be the burnt-sacrifice for his offering to the Lord: then shall he bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

\VS{15}And the priest shall bring it near unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out on the wall of the altar.

\VS{16}And he shall remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, at the place of the ashes.

\VS{17}And he shall cleave it by its wings, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.



\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And when any person wish to offer a meat-offering unto the Lord: then shall his offering be of fine flour; and he shall pour upon it oil, and put thereon frankincense;

\VS{2}And he shall bring it to one of the sons of Aaron the priest; and he shall take therefrom his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, as an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

\VS{3}And what is left of the meat-offering shall belong to Aaron and to his sons: it is a most holy thing, from the fire-offerings of the Lord.

\VS{4}And if thou bring an oblation of a meat-offering baked in the oven, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened cakes mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

\VS{10}And that which is left of the meat-offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons: it is a most holy thing, from the fire-offerings of the Lord.

\VS{11}No meat-offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be prepared leavened; for of whatever is leaven, or of any honey, ye shall not sacrifice an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

\VS{12}As an oblation of the first-fruits shall ye offer them unto the Lord: but on the altar shall they not come for a sweet savor.

\VS{13}And every oblation of thy meat-offering shalt thou season with salt; and thou shalt not suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat-offering: with all thy offerings shalt thou offer salt.

\VS{14}And if thou offer a meat-offering of the first-fruits unto the Lord: of ripe ears of corn dried by the fire, of pounded corn out of full ears, shalt thou offer the meat-offering of thy first-fruits.

\VS{15}And thou shalt put upon it oil, and lay thereon frankincense: it is a meat-offering.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

\VS{2}Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any person do sin through ignorance against any of the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done, and do any of them;

\VS{4}And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before the Lord.

\VS{5}And the anointed priest shall take some of the bullock's blood, and bring it into the tabernacle of the congregation:

\VS{6}And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood; and he shall sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.

\VS{7}And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of the incense of spices before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and all the [remaining] blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

\VS{8}And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering shall he take off from the same: the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

\VS{12}Even the whole bullock, shall he carry forth without the camp, unto a clean place, to where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire; upon where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

\VS{13}And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and a thing be hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of all the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done, and they become guilty;

\VS{14}When now the sin becometh known, through which they have sinned: then shall the congregation offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and shall bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

\VS{15}And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord; and they shall kill the bullock before the Lord.

\VS{6}And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, a female from the flocks, a sheep or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

\VS{7}And if his means be not sufficient for a sheep, then shall he bring as his offering [for the trespass] which he hath committed, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.

\VS{8}And he shall bring them unto the priest, and he shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and pinch off its head by the back of its neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

\VS{10}And the second shall he prepare as a burnt-offering, according to the prescribed order; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

\VS{11}But if his means be not sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his offering for that which he hath sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not put upon it any oil, nor shall he put thereupon any frankincense; for it is a sin-offering.

\VS{12}And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest shall take from it his handful, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, upon the fire-offerings of the Lord: it is a sin-offering.

\VS{13}And the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin that he hath committed in one of these, and it shall be forgiven unto him; and it shall belong to the priest, as the meat-offering.

\VS{14}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

\VS{15}If any person commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, against the holy things of the Lord: then shall he bring as his trespass-offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, in value of two shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering.

\VS{3}(5:22) Or if he have found something which was lost, and lie concerning it, and swear falsely; in any one of all these which a man can do, to sin thereby:

\VS{4}(5:23) Then shall it be, when he hath sinned and is conscious of his guilt, that he shall restore what be hath taken violently away, or the wages which he hath withheld, or that which was delivered to him to keep, or the lost thing which he hath found,

\VS{5}(5:24) Or any one thing about which he may have sworn falsely; and he shall restore it in its principal, and the fifth part thereof shall he add thereto; unto him to whom it appertaineth shall he give it, on the day when he confesseth his trespass.

\VS{6}(5:25) And his trespass-offering shall he bring unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flocks, of the usual value, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest:

\VS{7}(5:26) And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven unto him, for any one thing of all that he may have done to trespass thereby.

\VS{9}(6:2) Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering: It is the burnt-offering, which shall be burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning on it.

\VS{10}(6:3) And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and he shall lift up the ashes which the fire hath made by consuming the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall place them beside the altar.

\VS{11}(6:4) And he shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes to without the camp, unto a clean place.

\VS{13}(6:6) A perpetual fire shall be burning upon the altar; it shall not go out.

\VS{14}(6:7) And this is the law of the meat-offering: [one of] the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before the Lord, in front of the altar.

\VS{15}(6:8) And he shall lift up from it his handful, of the flour of the meat-offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat-offering, and he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savor, as its memorial, unto the Lord.

\VS{16}(6:9) And what is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: unleavened shall it be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation shall they eat it.

\VS{17}(6:10) It shall not be baked leaven; as their portion have I given it from my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin-offering, and as is the trespass-offering.

\VS{18}(6:11) all the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as a fixed portion for ever in your generations from the fire-offerings of the Lord: every one that toucheth the same shall be holy.

\VS{20}(6:13) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord on the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat-offering perpetually; half of it in the morning, and the other half of it in the evening.

\VS{21}(6:14) In a pan, with oil, shall it be made, well sodden shalt thou bring it; twice baked, a meat-offering of broken pieces, shalt thou offer it for a sweet savor unto the Lord.

\VS{23}(6:16) And every meat-offering of a priest shall be wholly burnt, it shall not be eaten.

\VS{24}(6:17) And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

\VS{25}(6:18) Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: On the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before the Lord; it is most holy.

\VS{26}(6:19) The priest who maketh atonement with its blood shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

\VS{27}(6:20) Whatsoever may touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and if there should be sprinkled any of its blood upon a garment, whatever it hath been sprinkled on shalt thou wash out in a holy place.

\VS{28}(6:21) And any earthen vessel wherein it may have been boiled shall be broken: and if it have been boiled in a copper vessel, it shall be both scoured and rinsed with water.

\VS{29}(6:22) Every male among the priests may eat thereof: it is most holy.

\VS{9}And every meat-offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the deep pan, and in the flat pan, shall belong to the priest that offereth it alone.

\VS{12}If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then shall he offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour, well sodden, made into cakes mingled with oil.

\VS{13}Together with cakes of leavened bread shall he bring his offering, with the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace-offering.

\VS{14}And he shall offer thereof one out of every oblation for a heave-offering unto the Lord; to the priest that sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offering—to him shall it belong.

\VS{15}And the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving-peace-offering shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

\VS{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 shall what is left thereof be eaten.

\VS{17}But what is left of the flesh of the sacrifice, on the third day shall it be burnt with fire.

\VS{18}And if the intention was to eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offering on the third day, it shall not be favorably received; to him who offereth it shall it not be accounted; it shall be an abomination, and the person that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

\VS{19}And the flesh, that toucheth any unclean thing, shall not be eaten, with fire shall it be burnt: and as for the flesh, every one that is clean may eat thereof.

\VS{20}But the person that eateth the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offering, that pertaineth unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, even that person shall be cut off from his people.

\VS{21}And any person that toucheth any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offering, which pertaineth unto the Lord, even that person shall be cut off from his people.

\VS{23}Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat shall ye not eat.

\VS{24}And the fat of a beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn by beasts, may be used for any manner of work, but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

\VS{25}For whosoever eateth the fat of the cattle, of which one can offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, even the person that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

\VS{26}Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, in any of your dwellings, whether it be of fowl or of cattle.

\VS{27}Whatsoever person it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.

\VS{28}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

\VS{29}Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace-offering unto the Lord shall bring his oblation unto the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace-offering.

\VS{30}His own hands shall bring it, as the fire-offerings of the Lord: the fat with the breast shall he bring, the breast that it may be waved for a wave-offering before the Lord.

\VS{31}And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall belong to Aaron and to his sons.

\VS{32}And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for a heave-offering, of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings.

\VS{33}The one that offereth the blood of the peace-offerings and the fat, among the sons of Aaron, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

\VS{34}For the breast which hath been waved and the shoulder which hath been lifted up have I taken from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings; and I have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as a fixed portion for ever from the children of Israel.

\VS{35}This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, from the fire-offerings of the Lord, on the day when he brought them near to become priests unto the Lord;

\VS{36}Which the Lord commanded to give unto them, on the day that he anointed them, from the children of Israel, as a fixed portion for ever throughout their generations.

\VS{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 consecration-offering, and of the sacrifice of the peace-offering;

\VS{7}And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put upon him the ephod, and he girded him with the belt of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.

\VS{8}And he put on him the breastplate; and he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.

\VS{9}And he put the mitre upon his head; and he placed upon the mitre, toward the front thereof, the golden plate, the holy crown; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{10}And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.

\VS{11}And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times; and he anointed the altar and all its vessels, also the laver and its foot, to sanctify them.

\VS{16}And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the midriff of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burnt them upon the altar.

\VS{17}But the bullock, and his hide, and his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{19}And some one killed him; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

\VS{20}And the ram he cut into the proper pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

\VS{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 savor, an offering made by fire unto the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{22}And he brought near the other ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

\VS{23}And some one slew him; and Moses took some of his blood, 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.

\VS{24}And he brought near Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

\VS{25}And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the midriff of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder;

\VS{26}And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and he put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder;

\VS{27}And he placed the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and made with them a waving before the Lord.

\VS{28}And Moses then took these things from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a consecration-offering for a sweet savor, a fire-offering were they unto the Lord.

\VS{29}And Moses took the breast, and made therewith a waving before the Lord; from the ram of consecration was it given to Moses as his portion; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{30}And Moses took some of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled the same upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and his sons with sanctified upon the garments of him; and he Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

\VS{31}And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil ye the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and there shall ye eat it with the bread that is in the basket of the consecration; as I have commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.

\VS{32}And that which is left of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.

\VS{33}And from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall ye not go forth seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end; for seven days shall your consecration last.

\VS{34}As they have done this day, so hath the Lord commanded to do farther, to make an atonement for you.

\VS{35}And at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not; for so have I been commanded.

\VS{3}And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a sheep, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;

\VS{4}Also a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord, and a meat-offering mingled with oil; for this day the Lord will appear unto you.

\VS{5}And they brought that which Moses had commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.

\VS{6}And Moses said, This thing which the Lord hath commanded shall ye do: and then will the glory of the Lord appear unto you.

\VS{7}And Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and prepare thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people; and prepare the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the Lord hath commanded.

\VS{8}And Aaron drew near unto the altar; and he slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself.

\VS{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 the [remaining] blood he poured out at the bottom of the altar.

\VS{10}And the fat, and the kidneys, and the midriff from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\VS{16}And he brought near the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the prescribed manner.

\VS{17}And he brought near the meat-offering, and he filled his hand thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt-sacrifice of the morning.

\VS{18}He slew also the bullock and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offering which belonged to the people: and the sons of Aaron presented unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about,

\VS{23}And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came then out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people.

\VS{3}Then said Moses unto Aaron, This is what the Lord hath spoken, saying, On those who are near unto me will I be sanctified, and before all the people will I be glorified: and Aaron held his peace.

\VS{4}And Moses called unto Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of 'Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary to without the camp.

\VS{5}And they came near, and carried them in their coats to without the camp; as Moses had spoken.

\VS{6}And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Elazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, The hair of your head you shall not let grow long, and your garments you shall not rend, that ye die not, and that he be not wroth upon the whole congregation; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, may bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled.

\VS{7}And from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall ye not go out, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you; and they did according to the word of Moses.

\VS{9}Wine or strong drink shalt thou not drink, neither thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.

\VS{10}So that ye may be able to distinguish between the holy and the unholy, and between the unclean and the clean;

\VS{11}And that ye may be able to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

\VS{12}And Moses spoke unto Aaron, and unto Elazar and unto Ithamar his sons, that were left, Take ye the meat-offering that is left of the fire-offerings of the Lord, and eat it unleavened beside the altar; for it is most holy.

\VS{13}And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy fixed portion, and the fixed portion of thy sons, from the fire-offerings of the Lord; for so have I been commanded.

\VS{14}And the breast which hath been waved and the shoulder which hath been lifted up, shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for as thy fixed portion, and the fixed portion of thy sons, have they been given from the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

\VS{15}The shoulder which is waved and the breast which is lifted up, shall they bring with the fat of the fire-offering, to make therewith a waving before the Lord: and then shall it be thine, and thy sons with thee, as a fixed portion for ever; as the Lord hath commanded.

\VS{16}And the goat of the sin-offering Moses sought diligently, and behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Elazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who had been left, and said,

\VS{17}Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the holy place, seeing that it is most holy, and that he hath given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

\VS{18}Behold, its blood was not brought within the holy place: ye should then have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

\VS{19}And Aaron spoke unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering, and their burnt-offering before the Lord; and things as these have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin-offering today, would it have been pleasing in the eyes of the Lord?

\VS{2}This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his being cleansed: He shall be brought unto the priest.

\VS{3}And the priest shall go forth to without the camp; and if the priest see, and, behold, the plague of leprosy be healed on the leper:

\VS{4}Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two healthy, clean birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop.

\VS{5}And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.

\VS{6}As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the string of scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and he shall dip these and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:

\VS{7}And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times; and when he hath cleansed him, he shall let the living bird fly forth into the open field.

\VS{8}And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, and he shall be clean, and after that he may come into the camp; but he shall tarry outside of his tent seven days.

\VS{9}And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave off all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair shall he shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, he shall also wash his flesh in water, when he shall be clean.

\VS{10}And on the eighth day he shall take two sheep without blemish, and one ewe of the first year without blemish, and three-tenth parts of fine flour for a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

\VS{11}And the priest who cleanseth shall cause the man that is to be made clean, and these things, to stand before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

\VS{12}And the priest shall take the one sheep, and offer the same for a trespass-offering, with the log of oil; and he shall make with them a waving before the Lord.

\VS{13}And he shall slay the sheep on the place where the sin-offering and the burnt-offering are killed, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering so doth the trespass-offering belong to the priest: it is most holy.

\VS{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.

\VS{15}And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.

\VS{16}And the priest shall dip his finger of the right hand in the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord.

\VS{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.

\VS{18}And what is left of the oil that is in the priest's hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall [thus] make an atonement for him before the Lord.

\VS{19}And the priest shall prepare the sin-offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward shall he kill the burnt-offering:

\VS{20}And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meat-offering upon the altar; and the priest shall [thus] make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

\VS{21}But if he be poor, and his means do not suffice, then shall he take one sheep for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him; and one-tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a log of oil;

\VS{22}And two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, for which his means suffice; and one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering.

\VS{23}And he shall bring them on the eighth day of his being cleansed unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord.

\VS{24}And the priest shall take the sheep of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil; and the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord.

\VS{25}And he shall kill the sheep 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.

\VS{26}And some of the oil shall the priest pour into the palm of his own left hand:

\VS{27}And the priest shall sprinkle with his finger of the right hand some of the oil that is in his left hand, seven times before the Lord;

\VS{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;

\VS{29}And what is left 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.

\VS{31}Even what his means enable him, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meat-offering: and the priest shall [thus] make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed, before the Lord.

\VS{32}This is the law of him on whom is the plague of leprosy, whose means are not sufficient when he is cleansed.

\VS{33}And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

\VS{34}When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy on a house of the land of your possession:

\VS{35}Then shall he that owneth the house come and tell the priest, saying, Something like a leprosy hath shown itself to me in the house.

\VS{36}And the priest shall command that they clear out the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all be not made unclean that is in the house: and after this shall the priest go in to see the house.

\VS{37}And he shall view the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house, in depressions, dark green or dark red, and their appearance be deeper than the wall:

\VS{38}Then shall the priest go out of the house to the door of the house, and lock up the house seven days.

\VS{39}And the priest shall come again on the seventh day; and if he see, that, behold, the plague have spread in the walls of the house:

\VS{40}Then shall the priest command that they break out the stones on which the plague is; and they shall cast them forth without the city on an unclean place.

\VS{41}And the house he shall cause to be scraped within round about; and they shall pour out the rubbish that they have scraped off without the city on an unclean place.

\VS{42}And they shall take other stones, and put them into the place of these stones; and other mortar shall he take, and shall plaster the house.

\VS{43}And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it hath been plastered:

\VS{44}Then shall the priest come; and if he see that, behold, the plague have spread in the house, it is a corrosive leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

\VS{45}And he shall break down the house, its stones, and the timbers thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth to without the city, unto an unclean place.

\VS{46}And he that goeth into the house, all the days that it is locked up, shall be unclean until the evening.

\VS{47}And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

\VS{48}But if the priest should come in, and see, and, behold, the plague have not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then shall the priest pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

\VS{49}And he shall take, to atone for the house, two birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop;

\VS{50}And he shall kill the one bird in an earthen vessel over running water;

\VS{51}And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle on the house seven times:

\VS{52}And he shall atone for 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 string of scarlet yarn;

\VS{53}But he shall let fly forth the living bird out of the city into the open field, and make [thus] an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

\VS{54}This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

\VS{55}And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house,

\VS{56}And for a swelling, and for a rising, and for a bright spot;

\VS{3}With this shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.

\VS{4}A holy linen coat shall be put on, and linen breeches shall he have upon his flesh, and with a linen girdle shall he gird himself, and a linen mitre shall he bind on his head; these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and then put them on.

\VS{6}And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

\VS{7}And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

\VS{8}And Aaron shall put lots upon the two goats; one lot “for the Lord,” and the other lot “for 'Azazel.”

\VS{9}And Aaron shall bring near the goat upon which fell the lot “for the Lord,” and offer him for a sin-offering.

\VS{10}But the goat on which fell the lot “for 'Azazel,” shall be placed alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, by sending him away to 'Azazel into the wilderness.

\VS{11}And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and he shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house; and he shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.

\VS{12}And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and both his hands full of incense of spices, pounded fine, and bring it within the vail;

\VS{13}And he shall put the incense upon the fire, before the Lord; that the cloud of the incense may envelop the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not.

\VS{14}And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger above toward the mercy-seat, eastward; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.

\VS{15}And he shall kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood to within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it above the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat.

\VS{27}Then let him reckon the years since his sale, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so shall he return unto his possession.

\VS{28}But if his means do not suffice to enable him to restore it to him: then shall that which he hath sold remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of the jubilee; and it shall be freed in the jubilee, and he shall return unto his possession.

\VS{29}And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city: then shall the time of redemption last till the end of the year of his sale; a full year shall his time of redemption last.

\VS{30}And if it be not redeemed within the expiration of a full year: then shall the house which is in the walled city remain as a permanence to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not become freed in the jubilee.

\VS{31}But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they shall have the right of redemption, and they shall become freed in the jubilee.

\VS{32}And [respecting] the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, a perpetual right of redemption shall belong to the Levites.

\VS{33}And if a man of the Levites redeem something: then shall the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, become freed in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

\VS{34}And a field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for a perpetual possession is it unto them.

\VS{35}And if thy brother become poor, and fall in decay with thee: then shalt thou assist him, [yea] a stranger, or a sojourner, that he may live with thee.

\VS{36}Thou shalt not take of him any usury or increase; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: that thy brother may live with thee.

\VS{37}Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

\VS{38}I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give unto you the land of Canaan, to be unto you a God.

\VS{39}And if thy brother become poor near thee, and be sold unto thee: thou shalt not compel him to work as a bond-servant.

\VS{40}But as a hired laborer, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of the jubilee shall he serve with thee:

\VS{41}And then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him; and he shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

\VS{42}For my servants are they, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bond-men are sold.

\VS{43}Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but thou shalt have fear of thy God.

\VS{44}But thy bond-man, and thy bond-woman that shall remain thine, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them may ye buy bond-man and bond-woman.

\VS{45}And also of the children of the strangers that sojourn with you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they shall remain to you as a possession.

\VS{46}And ye may transfer them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; you may hold them to service for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel, one over the other, ye shall not rule with rigor.

\VS{47}And if a stranger or sojourner wax rich near thee, and thy brother become poor near him, and he sell himself unto the sojourning stranger near thee, or to a descendant of a stranger's family:

\VS{48}After he hath sold himself shall he have the right of redemption; one of his brethren may redeem him.

\VS{49}Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he obtain the means, he may redeem himself.

\VS{50}And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of the jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, as the time of a hired laborer shall he have been with him.

\VS{51}If there be yet many years, according to them shall he return the price of his redemption out of his purchase-money.

\VS{52}And if there remain but few years unto the year of the jubilee: then shall he reckon with him; according to his years shall he return the price of his redemption.

\VS{53}As a laborer hired from year to year shall he be with him; he shall not rule over him with rigor before thy eyes.

\VS{54}And if he be not redeemed by [one of] these means: then shall he go out in the year of the jubilee, both he, and his children with him.

\VS{55}For unto me are the children of Israel servants, my servants are they, whom I have brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Eternal your God.



\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Ye shall not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.

\VS{2}My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

\VS{3}If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, and do them:

\VS{4}Then will I give you rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its fruit.

\VS{5}And the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell in safety in your land.

\VS{6}And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass through your land.

\VS{7}And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

\VS{8}And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

\VS{9}And I will turn myself unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and I will establish my covenant with you.

\VS{10}And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of the new.

\VS{11}And I will set my dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath you.

\VS{12}And I will walk among you, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people.

\VS{13}I am the Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk upright.

\VS{14}But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

\VS{15}And if my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye break my covenant:

\VS{16}Then will I also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, for your enemies shall eat it.

\VS{17}And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.

\VS{18}And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, sevenfold for your sins.

\VS{19}And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as copper:

\VS{20}And in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land shall not yield its fruit.

\VS{21}And if ye walk yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold according to your sins.

\VS{22}And I will send out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall be desolate.

\VS{23}And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and walk contrary unto me:

\VS{24}Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and I also will punish you, sevenfold for your sins.

\VS{25}And I will bring over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves into the hand of the enemy;

\VS{26}When I break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

\VS{27}And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me:

\VS{28}Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins.

\VS{29}And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

\VS{30}And I will destroy your high-places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath you.

\VS{31}And I will render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

\VS{32}And I will surely make desolate the land: and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

\VS{33}And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out after you the sword; and your land shall be a desolate wild, and your cities shall be a waste.

\VS{34}Then shall the land satisfy its sabbaths, all the days of its desolation, when ye are in the land of your enemies: then shall the land rest, and satisfy its sabbaths.

\VS{35}All the days of its desolation shall it rest, the time which it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

\VS{36}And regarding those that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall with none pursuing.

\VS{37}And they shall stumble one over the other, as before the sword, without one pursuing: and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies.

\VS{38}And ye shall be lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall consume you.

\VS{39}And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

\VS{40}And they shall then confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, [that] through their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that [because] they had walked contrary unto me:

\VS{41}I also had to walk contrary unto them, and to bring them into the land of their enemies; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and then shall they satisfy their iniquity.

\VS{42}And I will then remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and the land will I remember.

\VS{43}For the land shall be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them, and they shall satisfy their iniquity; because, even because my ordinances they despised, and my statutes their soul loathed.

\VS{44}And yet for all that, though they be in the land of their enemies, will I not cast them away, neither will I loath them, to destroy them utterly, to break my covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.

\VS{45}But I will remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be unto them a God: I am the Lord.

\VS{46}These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.



\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

\VS{2}Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man make a particular vow, [to give] the estimated value of persons in honor of the Lord:

\VS{3}If the estimated value concern a male from twenty years old, and unto sixty years old, then shall the estimation be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

\VS{4}And if it be a female, then shall the estimation be thirty shekels.

\VS{5}And if [the person be] from five years old and unto twenty years old, then shall the estimation of the male be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

\VS{6}And if [the person be] from a month old and unto five years old, then shall the estimation of the male be five shekels of silver, and for the female the estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.

\VS{7}And if [the person be] from sixty years old and upward, if it be a male, then shall the estimation be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

\VS{8}But if he be too poor for this estimation, then shall he present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability to pay of him that hath vowed shall the priest value him.

\VS{9}And if it he a beast, whereof men can bring an offering unto the Lord, all that a man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.

\VS{10}He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad one, or a bad for a good one; and if he should change beast for beast, then shall it together with its exchange be holy.

\VS{11}And if it be any unclean beast, of which they cannot offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then shall he present the beast before the priest:

\VS{12}And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest valueth it, so shall it be.

\VS{13}And if he will redeem it, then shall he add a fifth part thereof unto the estimated value.

\VS{14}And if a man sanctify his house as holy unto the Lord, then shall the priest value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest may value it, so shall it stand.

\VS{15}And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it, and it shall remain his.

\VS{16}And if a man sanctify some part of a field of his possession unto the Lord, then shall the estimation be in proportion to its required seed: the seed of a chomer of barley at fifty shekels of silver.

\VS{17}If immediately after the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to this estimation shall it stand.

\VS{18}But if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then shall the priest reckon unto him the money in proportion to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be deducted from the estimation.

\VS{19}And if he that sanctified the field will redeem it, then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

\VS{20}But if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

\VS{21}But the field, when it is freed in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a devoted field: to the priest shall it belong as his possession.

\VS{22}And if a man sanctify a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, unto the Lord:

\VS{23}Then shall the priest reckon unto him the amount of the estimated value to the year of the jubilee; and he shall give this estimation on that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

\VS{24}In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom he bought it, to the one to whom belongeth the possession of the land.

\VS{25}And all estimations of value shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

\VS{26}Only the first-born which shall, by being first born, be sacred unto the Lord among cattle, no man shall sanctify; whether it be ox, or lamb, it is the Lord's.

\VS{27}And if it be an unclean animal, then shall he redeem it according to the estimated value, and he shall add its fifth part thereto; and if it be not redeemed, then shall it be sold according to the estimated value.

\VS{28}But any devoted thing, which a man may devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall not be sold nor redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.

\VS{29}Any one condemned, who shall be condemned to death among men, shall not be redeemed: he shall be put to death.

\VS{30}And every tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, belongeth to the Lord; it is holy unto the Lord.

\VS{31}And if a man will redeem any part of his tithe, its fifth part shall he add thereto.

\VS{32}And concerning the tithe of the herds, or of the flocks, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

\VS{33}He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he should change it, then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

\VS{34}These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children on mount Sinai.
