Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall (7 appear unto you. And Moses said

unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the 'oblation' of the people, and make atonement for them; as the 8) LORD commanded. So Aaron 'drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for him9 self. And the sons of Aaron 'presented 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 'base 10 of the altar: but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses. 11 And the flesh and the 'skin' he burnt 12) with fire without the camp. And he

slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons 'delivered unto him the blood, land' he sprinkled it upon the altar 13 round about. And they delivered' the burnt offering unto him, 'piece by piece', and the head: and he burnt 14 them upon the altar. And he 'washed'

the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the 15) altar. And he 'presented' the people's oblation, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as 16 the first. And he presented the

burnt offering, and offered it accord17 ing to the ordinance. And he 'presented' the 'meal' offering, and 'filled his hand therefrom', and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering' 18 of the morning. He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons 'delivered' unto him the blood, 'and' he sprinkled 'it upon 19 the altar round about, and the fat of the lox'; and of the ram, the 'fat tail', and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul of the 20 liver and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the 21 altar and the breasts and the right Ithigh' Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses com

1 Or, larel nigh

(22 manded. And Aaron 'lifted up his 'hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings. 23 And Moses and Aaron went into the Itent of meeting!, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people. (24 °And there came forth fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat and when all the people saw it', they shouted, and fell on their faces.

:

101) And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took leach' of them his censer, and put fire therein, and 'laid' incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not 2 commanded them. And there 'came forth fire from 'before' the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before 3 the LORD. "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 4 Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, 'Draw! near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary 5 out of the camp. So they drew near,

and carried them in their coats out of 6 the camp; as Moses had said. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,

Let' not 'the hair of your heads 'go loose', neither rend your clothes; 'that ye' die 'not', and 'that he be not wroth with all the congregation': but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the 7 LORD hath kindled. And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent! of meeting, lest yel die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

10 erations: and 1that ye may put difference between the holy and 'the common', and between the unclean and 11 the clean; 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 'meal' offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. and eat it without leaven beside the altar: 13 for it is most holy: and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the lofferings of the LORD made by fire: for (14 so I am commanded. And the wave breast and the heave 'thigh' shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy due, and thy sons' due, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of 15 Israel. The heave 'thigh 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, 'as' a duel 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 with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying, 17 °Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and 'hel hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atone18) ment for them before the LORD? °Behold, the blood of it was not brought linto the sanctuary' within: ye should Icertainly have eaten it in the 'sanct19) uary, as I commanded. And Aaron 'spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and 'there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin offering to-day, 'would' it have been well-pleasing in the 20 sight of the LORD? And when Moses

1 Or, ye shall 2 Or, to take away 3 Heb. bringeth up.

111

heard that, it was well-pleasing in his sight'.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2 °Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things! which ye shall eat among all the 3 beasts that are on the earth. "Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and 'cheweth 'the' cud, among (4 the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that 'part' the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but 'parteth' not the 5 hoof, he is unclean unto you. And the coney, because he scheweth the cud but parteth' not the hoof, he is 6 unclean unto you. And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but 'parteth' not the hoof, 'she' is unclean 7 unto you. And the swine, 'because! he 'parteth' the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but scheweth not the cud, he 8) is unclean 'unto you. Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their 'carcases! ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto 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 10 in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins land' scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living 'creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you, 11) land they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcases 'ye shall 12 have in abomination. "Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.

(13

And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and 14) the ospray; and the kite, and the 15 falcon after its kind; every raven 16 after its kind; and the 'ostrich', and

the night hawk, and the 'seamew!, 17 and the hawk after its kind; and the little owl, and the cormorant, and 18 the great owl; and the horned owl',

20

All winged creeping things that Igo' upon all four are an abomination * 21 unto you. Yet these may ye eat of 'all winged' creeping 'things' that Igo upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the 22 earth; even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the 23 2grasshopper after its kind. But all Iwinged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.

24

And by these ye shall 'becomeꞌ unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until 25 the even: and whosoever beareth aught of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean un(26 til the even. Every beast which Iparteth' the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, lis unclean unto you: every one that (27 toucheth them shall be unclean. And whatsoever goeth upon its' paws, among all beasts that go on all four, Ithey are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean 28 until the even. And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : they are unclean unto you.

29

And these are they which are! unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the 'great 30) lizard after its kind, and the

gecko, and the land-crocodile', and the lizard, and the sand-lizard', and 31 the chameleon. "These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be 32) unclean until the even.

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, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; 'then'

33) shall it be 'clean'. And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, (34 and it ye shall break. °All food therein1 which may be eaten, that on which 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 oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken lin pieces': they are unclean, and shall be unclean (36 unto you. Nevertheless a fountain

or a pit wherein is a gathering! of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be un37 clean. And if laught of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which (38 is to be sown, it is clean. But if water be put upon the seed, and laught of their carcase fall thereon, it is 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 40 even. And he that eateth of the

41

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.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; 42 it shall not be eaten. "Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath Imany feet, leven' all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomi43 nation. Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye (44) should be defiled thereby. °For I am

the LORD your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that 'moveth' upon the earth. 45 °For I am the LORD that 'brought' 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 'beast', and

of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon 41 the earth: to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

121 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman 'conceive seed, and 'bear' a man child, then she shall be unclean seven days; las in' the days of the impurity of her 'sick3 ness shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his fore(4 skin shall be circumcised. And she

shall 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 impurity and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying 6) threescore and six days. 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 tent of meeting', (7 unto the priest: land he shall offer

it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain' of her blood. This is the law for her that 'beareth, (8 whether a male or a female.

And if her means suffice' not 'for' a lamb, then she shall 'take' two 'turtledoves', or two young pigeons; the one for la burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

131 And the LORD spake unto Moses (2 and unto Aaron, saying, "When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh 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 Tif the hair in the plague 'bel turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is 'the plague of leprosy and the priest shall look on him, and pro4 nounce him unclean. And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and 'the appearance thereof1 be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath 5) the plague seven days: and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his 'eyes' the plague be at a stay, and the plague 'be' not spread 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 dim1, and the plague 'be not spread in the skin, 'then' the priest shall pronounce him clean it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, (7 and be clean. But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath Ishewn himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall shew himself to (8) the priest again: and the priest 'shall look, and', behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean it is leprosy.

9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto 10) the priest; and the priest shall 'look', and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick 11 raw flesh in the rising, it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: he shall not shut him up; for 12 he is unclean. And if the 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 feet, as far as appeareth to 13 the priest; then the priest shall

look: 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 14 clean. But whensoever! raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. (15 And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean :

-=

the raw flesh is unclean it is leprosy. 16 °Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then he shall 17 come unto the priest, and the priest shall look on 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 And when the flesh hath' in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed, (19) and in the place of the boil there 'is'

a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shewed 20) to the priest; and the priest shall look, and', behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, 'then' the priest shall pronounce him unclean it is 'the' plague of leprosy, 'it (21 hath broken out in the boil. But

if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be Idim', then the priest shall shut him (22 up seven days: and if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a 23) plague. But if the bright spot stay in its place, and 'be' not spread, it is Ithe scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. (24) Or when the flesh hath in the

skin 'thereof a burning by fire', and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, (25 or white; then the priest shall look

upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and 'the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, 'it hath' broken out in the burning: 'and' the priest shall pronounce him unclean it is (26 the plague of leprosy. "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 skin, but be dim'; then the priest shall shut (27 him up seven days: and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spread 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 its place, and 'be' not spread in the skin, but be 'dim'; it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is 'the scar! of the burning.

And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the (30 beard, then the priest shall look on' the plague and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. (31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, 'the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall 32) seven days: and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall 33 be not deeper than the skin, then' he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven 34 days more and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, 'and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and 35 be clean. "But if the scall spread

Jabroad in the skin after his cleans36 ing; then the priest shall look on him and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is 37) unclean. But if in his 'eyes' the scall be at a stay, and black hair 'be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
