things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from 'before me: I am the 4 LORD. "What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath 'an' 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 5 goeth from him; or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, what6 soever uncleanness he hath; the soul which toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he 7) bathed his flesh in water. °And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his 8 bread'. That which dieth of itself, or is torn loft beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the 9 LORD. They shall therefore keep Imy charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die 'therein', if they profane it: I lam the LORD which sanctify them. 10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or an hired servant, shall not eat of II the holy thing. But if 'a' priest buy any soul, 'the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are! born in his house, they shall eat of his 12 'bread'. And if 1al priest's daugh

ter be married unto a stranger, she 'shall not eat of the heave offering 13 of the holy things. But if 'a' 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 'bread': but there shall no stranger eat there(14 of. And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which 16 they offer unto the LORD; land so cause them to bear the iniquity 'that bringeth guilt', when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD which sanctify them.

17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, (18 saying, Speak unto Aaron, and to

his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that 'offereth his oblation, 'whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer unto the 19 LORD for a burnt offering; that ye

may be accepted', ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the 20 sheep, or of the goats. But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable 21 for you. And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish a vow, or 'for' a freewill offering, 'of the herd' or 'of the flock', it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish 22 therein. 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 23 upon the altar unto the LORD. °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 24) shall not be accepted. "That which Thath its stones' bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto the LORD; neither shall ye do 25) thus in your land. "Neither from 'the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

26

Ánd the LORD spake unto Moses, 21 saying, "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 the oblation of an offering! made by fire 28 unto the LORD. And whether it be

cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her 29 young both in one day. And when

ye Isacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, 'ye shall sacrifice! (30 it that ye may be accepted': "On the

same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning!: 31 I am the LORD. "Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do 32) them I am the LORD. ° And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the

children of Israel: I am the LORD 33 which hallow you, that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your

God: I am the LORD.

231 And the LORD spake unto Moses, (2 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The "set! feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, (3 even these are my 'set' feasts. Six days shall work be done but 'on' the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, 'an' holy convocation; ye shall do no 'manner of work: it is lal sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings.

4

These are the 'set' feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed 5) season'. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the 'month' at even, 6 is the LORD's passover. And on the

fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD seven days ye shall eat (7 unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an' holy convocation: (8 ye shall do no 3servile work. 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.

9

And the LORD spake unto Moses, 10 saying, 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 'the' sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto 11 the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sab12) bath the priest shall wave it.

And

in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offer13 ing unto the LORD. And the 'meal' offering thereof shall be two tenth 'parts of an ephah 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 fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have

1 Or, lappointed seasons

15

brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

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 16 there be complete: even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal' offering unto 17 the LORD. °Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah!: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for firstfruits (18 unto the LORD. And ye shall 'present with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their 'meal' offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto 19 the LORD. And ye shall 'offer' one The-goat for a sin offering, and two the-lambs of the first year for a sac20 rifice of peace offerings. 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 (21 priest. And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work : it 'is' a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

(22

23

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not 'wholly reapl the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest thou shalt leave them for the poor, and 'for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, 24 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you', a memorial of blowing of trumpets, lan' 25 holy convocation. "Ye shall do no servile work: 'and' ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. And the LORD spake unto Moses, 21 saying, Howbeit on the tenth day

of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be lan' holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall' offer an offering made by fire unto the (28 LORD. And ye shall do no 'manner

of work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he 30 shall be cut off from his people. And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any 'manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among 31 his people. Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all 32 your dwellings. It shall be unto you a sabbath of 'solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keepl your sabbath.

33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 34 saying, Speak unto the children of

Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto (35 the LORD. On the first day shall be

lan' holy convocation: ye shall do no (36 servile work. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be lan holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work.

37

These are the 'set' 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 'meal' offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, 'each on its 38 own' day: "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 'Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits' of the land, ye shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a Isolemn rest, and on the eighth day (40 shall be a solemn rest'.

And ye

shall take you on the first day the Ifruit of goodly trees, branches of

palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your 41 God seven days. ° And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall 'keep' 42 it in the seventh month. "Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are homeborn in Israel' shall dwell 43 in booths: 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 'set' feasts of the LORD.

241 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2) saying, °Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause *(3 la lamp to burn continually. Without the veil of the testimony, in the Itent' of 'meeting', shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your * 4 generations. "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

'parts of an ephah' shall be in one 6 cake. And thou shalt set them in "two rows, six on a row, upon the pure 7 table before the LORD. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be 'tol the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by (8 fire unto the LORD. Every sabbath 'day' he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlast9 ing covenant. And it shall be for Aaron' and his 'sons'; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual

10

statute.

And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove

5 Or, two piles, six in a pile 6 Or, Ipile 7 Or, from

11) together in the camp; and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the 'Name', 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 it'

might be declared unto them 'at' the Imouth of the LORD.

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 14 saying, 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 15 stone him. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall (16 bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth

the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as the 'homeborn', when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, 17 shall be put to death. And he that Ismiteth any man Imortally shall 18 surely be put to death; and he that Ismiteth a beast 'mortally' shall make 19 it good life for life. And if a

man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to (20 him; breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be (21 rendered unto him. And he that

killeth a beast shall 'make' it 'good': and he that killeth a man shall be put 22 to death. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the homeborn!: for I am the LORD 23 your God. And Moses spake to the children of Israel, 'and' they 'brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned' him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

251

And the LORD spake unto Moses 2 in mount Sinai, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land 3 keep a sabbath unto the LORD. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, 4 and gather in the fruits! thereof; but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD: thou shalt

neither sow thy field, nor prune thy

(5) vineyard. That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, 'and' the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the 6 land. And the sabbath of the land shall be for food" for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy 7 stranger that 'sojourn' with thee; and for thy cattle, and for the 'beasts' that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food'.

(8) And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and 'there' shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, leven' forty and nine years. 9 Then shalt thou send abroad the loud' trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad' the trumpet throughout all your land. (10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout 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 11 unto his family. 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 12 it of the undressed vines. For it is 'a' jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out (13) of the field. In this year of jubile

ye shall return every man unto his 14 possession. And if thou sell aught

unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not 'wrong' 15 one another: according to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the 'crops (16 he shall sell unto thee. According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the 'crops' doth 17 he sell unto thee. And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the 18 LORD your God. "Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgements 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 20 therein in safety. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor 21 gather in our increase: then I will

command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit (22 for the three years. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old 'store'; until the ninth year, until her fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store. And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye larel strangers 24 and sojourners with me. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and Isell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him' come, 'and' shall redeem that 26 which his brother 'hath sold. And

if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be Iwaxen rich and find suffi21 cient to redeem it; then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; 'and' he 'shall' 28 return unto his possession. But if he be not able to get it 'back for himself, then that which he hath 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.

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; Ifor a full year ishall he have the 30 right of redemption'. And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall 31 not go out in the jubile. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be Ireckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and (32 they shall go out in the jubile. Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any (33 time. And if one of the Levites

1 Or, a man redeem from the Le

vites

25 redeem', then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the chil34 dren of Israel. 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 his hand fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: las a stranger and a sojourner shall he 36 live with thee. 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 give him thy vict(38 uals for increase. I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.

39) And if thy brother be waxen poor

'with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to (40 serve as a bondservant: as 'an' hired

servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with (41 thee unto the year of jubile: then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he 42 return. For they are my servants,

which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as 43 bondmen. Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy 44 God. And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bond45 men and bondmaids. 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 have begotten! in your land: and they shall be your 46 possession. And ye shall make them an inheritance for your children

after you, to 'hold' for a possession; lof them shall ye take your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigour.
