Leviticus 1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out
of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 And he shall flay
the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
7 And the sons of
Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon
the fire:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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:
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 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 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:
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.
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.
5 And if thy
oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of
fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 Thou shalt part it in
pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
7 And if
thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall
be made of fine flour with oil.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense
thereon: it is a meat offering.
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 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.
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 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,
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.
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.
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.
7 If
he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD.
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.
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,
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.
11 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar:
it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.
12 And
if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.
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.
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,
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.
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.
17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your
generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Leviticus 4:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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:
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 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.
5 And the priest
that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the
tabernacle of the congregation:
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
11
And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his
legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
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.
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;
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.
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.
16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring
of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
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.
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.
19 And he
shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
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.
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.
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;
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:
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.
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.
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
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.
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:
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
14 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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:
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.
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.
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.
19 It is a trespass offering: he hath
certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Leviticus 6:1 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
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;
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:
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,
5 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 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:
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.
8 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
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.
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.
13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar;
it shall never go out.
14 And this is the law of the meat
offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
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.
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.
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.
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.
19 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
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.
23 For every meat offering for the
priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
24 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
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.
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.
29 All the
males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
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 7:1 Likewise
this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
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.
3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that
covereth the inwards,
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:
5 And the priest shall
burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it
is a trespass offering.
6 Every male among the priests shall eat
thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
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.
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.
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.
10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry,
shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall
offer unto the LORD.
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.
13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his
offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace
offerings.
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.
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.
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:
17 But the remainder of the
flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox,
or of sheep, or of goat.
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.
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.
26
Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of
beast, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever soul it be that
eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
28 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
31 And
the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's
and his sons'.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest
for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
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.
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.
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;
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.
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;
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 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
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;
3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And Moses did as the
LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
5 And Moses said unto the
congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
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 And he
put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the
Thummim.
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.
10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and
anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
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.
12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him,
to sanctify him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17 But the
bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the
camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
18 And he brought the ram for the
burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the
ram.
19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon
the altar round about.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses
burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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:
27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his
sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
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.
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.
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.
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.
32 And that which remaineth of the
flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
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.
34 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath
commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
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.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 9:1 And it came to pass on
the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of
Israel;
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the
calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
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:
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.
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire
without the camp.
12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons
presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof,
and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
14 And he did
wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on
the altar.
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.
16 And he brought the burnt offering, and
offered it according to the manner.
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.
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,
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:
20 And they put the fat
upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21 And the
breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the
LORD; as Moses commanded.
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.
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.
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 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.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died
before the LORD.
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.
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.
5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out
of the camp; as Moses had said.
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.
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.
8 And the LORD spake
unto Aaron, saying,
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
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and
clean;
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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?
20
And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus 11:1 And
the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
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.
3 Whatsoever
parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the
beasts, that shall ye eat.
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.
5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the
hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare, because he
cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh
shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean
to you.
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.
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 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their
flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever
hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto
you.
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,
14 And the vulture, and the
kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And
the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork,
the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 All fowls
that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
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;
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.
23 But all other flying creeping things, which
have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24 And for
these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be
unclean until the even.
25 And whosoever beareth ought of the
carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
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.
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.
28
And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the even: they are unclean unto you.
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,
30
And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth
touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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.
33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
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.
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.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit,
wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth
their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if any part of their
carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of
their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof
shall be unclean until the even.
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.
41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination; it shall not be eaten.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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 12:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
3 And in the eighth day the flesh of
his foreskin shall be circumcised.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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 13:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
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:
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.
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:
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:
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.
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:
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.
9 When
the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
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;
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.
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 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.
14 But when raw
flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
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.
16 Or if the raw flesh turn
again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
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.
18 The flesh also, in which, even
in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
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;
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.
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:
22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
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.
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;
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.
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:
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.
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.
29 If a man or woman have a plague
upon the head or the beard;
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.
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:
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;
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:
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.
35
But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
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.
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.
38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of
their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
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.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen
off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
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.
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.
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;
44 He is a leprous man, he is
unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in
his head.
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.
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.
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a
woollen garment, or a linen garment;
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;
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:
50
And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the
plague seven days:
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.
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.
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;
54 Then the priest shall command that they wash
the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days
more:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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 14:1 And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in
the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
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;
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:
5 And the
priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over
running water:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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:
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 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:
15 And the priest shall take
some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left
hand:
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:
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:
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.
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:
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.
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;
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.
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.
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:
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:
26 And the priest
shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
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:
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:
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.
30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the
young pigeons, such as he can get;
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.
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.
33 And the LORD
spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
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;
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:
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:
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;
38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to
the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
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;
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:
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:
42
And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those
stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
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
plaistered;
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.
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.
46
Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be
unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash
his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
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 plaistered: then the
priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49
And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet,
and hyssop:
50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen
vessel over running water:
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:
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:
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.
54 This is the law for all manner of plague
of leprosy, and scall,
55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a
house,
56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this
is the law of leprosy.
Leviticus 15:1 And the LORD spake unto
Moses and to Aaron, saying,
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.
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.
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth
that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be
unclean.
5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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.
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.
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.
9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue
shall be unclean.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of
copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
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.
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.
20 And every thing that she lieth
upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon
shall be unclean.
21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
28
But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven
days, and after that she shall be clean.
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.
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.
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.
32
This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed
goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
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 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;
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.
3
Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin
offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
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.
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.
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.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the
LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And
Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other
lot for the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which
the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
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.
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:
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:
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:
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
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:
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.
25 And the fat
of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
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.
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.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the
camp.
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:
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.
31 It shall be a
sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for
ever.
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:
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.
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 17:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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,
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,
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:
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his
flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 18:1 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, I am the LORD your God.
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.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to
walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep
my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am
the LORD.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to
him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
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.
8 The
nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's
nakedness.
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.
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.
11
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is
thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near
kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt
not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to
his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not
uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
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
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her
nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also thou
shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put
apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally
with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
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.
22 Thou
shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
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.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in
all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And
the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the
land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
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:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of
the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28
That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the
nations that were before you.
29 For whosoever shall commit any
of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off
from among their people.
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 19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
3 Ye
shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am
the LORD your God.
4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves
molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 And if ye offer a
sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
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.
7 And
if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be
accepted.
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.
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.
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.
11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the
name of thy God: I am the LORD.
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.
14 Thou shalt not curse
the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I
am the LORD.
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.
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.
17
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke
thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be
holy to praise the LORD withal.
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.
26 Ye shall not eat any thing with
the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Ye
shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of
thy beard.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the
dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
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.
30 Ye shall keep my
sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31 Regard
not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled
by them: I am the LORD your God.
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.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye
shall not vex him.
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.
35
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in
measure.
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.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my
judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 20:1 And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be
ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
8 And ye shall keep my
statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall
surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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:
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,
3 And for his sister a
virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be
defiled.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a
chief man among his people, to profane himself.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his
father, or for his mother;
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.
13 And he
shall take a wife in her virginity.
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.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed
among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
16 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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,
19 Or a man that
is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
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 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.
22 He
shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
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.
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his
sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Leviticus 22:1 And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
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;
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;
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.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of
the holy things; because it is his food.
8 That which dieth of
itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself
therewith: I am the LORD.
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.
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.
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.
12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto
a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
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.
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.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer unto the LORD;
16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity
of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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;
19 Ye shall offer
at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the
goats.
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye
not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
28 And whether it be
cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
29
And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it
at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall
leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
31 Therefore
shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
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,
33 That brought you
out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus
23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
4 These are
the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim
in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at
even is the LORD'S passover.
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.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
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.
9 And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
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.
25 Ye shall do
no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
29 For whatsoever soul
it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from
among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any
work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
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.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
35 On
the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths
seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
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.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of
the LORD.
Leviticus 24:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
4 He shall
order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
5
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals
shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a
row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
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.
8 Every sabbath he
shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the
children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
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.
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;
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:)
12 And they
put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.
13
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
15 And thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear
his sin.
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.
17 And he that
killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
18 And he that killeth
a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
19 And if a man cause a
blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
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.
21 And he that killeth
a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to
death.
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.
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 25:1 And the LORD
spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
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.
3 Six years thou shalt
sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the
fruit thereof;
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.
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.
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,
7
And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the
increase thereof be meat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
12 For it
is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof
out of the field.
13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every
man unto his possession.
14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour,
or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one
another:
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:
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.
17 Ye shall not
therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the
LORD your God.
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my
judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19
And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell
therein in safety.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the
seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring
forth fruit for three years.
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.
23 The land shall not be
sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and
sojourners with me.
24 And in all the land of your possession ye
shall grant a redemption for the land.
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.
26
And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
32 Notwithstanding
the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their
possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
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.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it
is their perpetual possession.
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.
36
Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may
live with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor
lend him thy victuals for increase.
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.
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:
40 But as an hired servant,
and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto
the year of jubile:
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.
42 For they are
my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be
sold as bondmen.
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but
shalt fear thy God.
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.
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.
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.
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:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again;
one of his brethren may redeem him:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my
sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep
my commandments, and do them;
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.
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.
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.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before
you by the sword.
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.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make
you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10
And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11
And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my
people.
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.
14 But if ye will not
hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
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:
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.
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.
18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19 And I will break
the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as
brass:
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.
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.
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.
23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by
these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
24 Then will I also walk
contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
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 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.
27 And if ye will
not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28 Then I
will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven
times for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and
the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
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.
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.
32 And I will bring the land into
desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
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.
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.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it
did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
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.
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.
38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of
your enemies shall eat you up.
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.
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;
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 27:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall
be thirty shekels.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
13 But if he will at all
redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
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.
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.
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.
17 If he sanctify his
field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 And
if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is
not of the fields of his possession;
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.
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.
25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the
shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
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 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.
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.
29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall
be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
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.
31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add
thereto the fifth part thereof.
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.
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.
34
These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.
