offering be killed before the LORD: 26 it is most holy. The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in 'a' holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. 27 °1Whatsoever 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 'a' holy (28 place. But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen Ivessel', it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 Every male among the priests shall 30 eat thereof: it is most holy. And

71

no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the Itent of Imeeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten it shall be burnt with fire.

'And this is the law of the guilt 2) offering: it is most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the guilt offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle 3 upon the altar round about.

And

he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the fat tail', and the fat that cover(4 eth the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the 'loins', and the caul 'upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take 5 away: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a 'guilt! 6 offering. Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holy place it is most 7) holy. As is the sin offering, so is the guilt offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith, he shall have 8 it. 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 every meal offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and on! the baking pan, shall be the priest's 10 that offereth it. And every meal' offering, mingled with oil, for dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as well as another.

11

And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which 'one' shall

1 Or, Whosoever!

12 offer unto the LORD. "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 13) flour soaked'. With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his 'oblation with the sacrifice of his peace (14 offerings for thanksgiving. And of it he shall offer one out of leach' oblation for an' heave offering unto the LORD; it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace 15 offerings. And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten 'on' the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of his oblation! be a vow, or a 'freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow that which remaineth' of it shall 17 be eaten but that which remaineth' 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 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 19 shall bear his iniquity. And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire. And as for the flesh, 'every one that is 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, that soul shall be cut off from his people. (21 And when any onel shall touch any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination', and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

22

And the LORD spake unto Moses, (23 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of 24 ox, or sheep, or goat. And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn lof beasts,

may be used for any other 'service! : 25 but ye shall in no wise eat of it. 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 26 people. And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. (27 Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

28 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 29 saying, 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 out of the sacrifice of (30 his peace offerings: his own hands

shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire; the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before 31 the LORD. And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast 32 shall be Aaron's and his sons'. And the right thigh shall ye give unto the priest for an' heave offering 'out' of the sacrifices of your peace offer33 ings. He among the sons of Aaron,

that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the (31 right thigh' for 'a portion'. For the

(35

wave breast and the heave thigh' have I taken of the children of Israel lout of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as a due for ever from the children of Israel.

This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto 36 the LORD in the priest's office; which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is a due for ever throughout their (37 generations. This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the guilt offering, and of the 'consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace 38 offerings; 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.

81 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock lof the sin offering, and the two rams, and 'the' basket of unleavened bread; 3 and 'assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the Itent of 4 Imeeting'. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the 'congregation' was 'assembled at the door 5 of the 'tent' of 'meeting'. And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD hath com6 manded to be done. And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and 7 washed them with water. 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 'cunningly woven band' of the ephod, and 8) bound it unto him therewith. And he 'placed the breastplate upon him: land in the breastplate he put the 9 Urim and the Thummim. And he Iset the mitre upon his head; 'and' • upon the "mitre, 'in front', did he 'set' the golden plate, the holy crown; as 10 the LORD commanded Moses. And

Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that 11 was therein, and sanctified them. And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver 12 and its base', to sanctify them.

And

he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to 13) sanctify him. And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and 'clothed' them Iwith coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound headtires! upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses. 14 And he brought the bullock of the sin offering and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the 15 bullock of the sin offering. 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 out the blood at the base of the altar, and

5 Or, Iturban!

..

even

sanctified it, to make latonement for! 16 it. And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon 17 the altar. But the bullock, and its

skin, and its flesh, and 'its' dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as 18 the LORD commanded Moses. And he presented' the ram of 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 its pieces;

and Moses burnt the head, and the 21 pieces, and the fat. And he washed the inwards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt offering for a sweet savour: it was an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the 22 LORD commanded Moses. And he 'presented' the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the 23 ram. And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood 'thereof, 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 'thumb' of their right hand', and upon the great toe of their right 'foot': and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the 25 altar round about. And he took the fat, and the fat tail', and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh': 26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and 'one' cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and 27) upon the right thigh: and he put

the whole upon the hands of Aaron', and upon the hands of his Isons, and waved them for a wave 28 offering before the LORD. °And

Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were la consecration for a sweet savour:

1 Or, shoulder

The Sept., Onkelos and Syr. read,

it was an offering made by fire unto (29) the LORD. And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: it was Moses' 'portion of the ram of consecration; 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, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' 31 garments with him. And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the Itent' of 'meeting and there eat it 'and' the bread that is in the basket of 'consecration', 2as I commanded, saying, Aaron and 32 his sons shall eat it. And that which

remaineth of the flesh and of the bread 33) shall ye burn with fire. And ye shall not go out 'from the door of the 'tent' of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled': for he shall consecrate you seven days. (34 As hath been' done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make 35) atonement for you. And at the door of the 'tent of 'meeting! shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. 36 And Aaron and his sons did all 'the' things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

91

And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his 2 sons, and the elders of Israel; and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a 'bull' calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and 3 offer them before the LORD. And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a 'he-goat' for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, 4 for a burnt offering; and an ox' and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal' offering mingled with oil: for to-day the 5 LORD appeareth! unto you. And they brought that which Moses commanded before the 'tent' of 'meeting': and all the congregation drew near 6 and stood before the LORD. And

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. o1So1 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 basel 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 loblation', 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 lox' 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 ox'; and of the ram, the 'fat tail', and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul 'of1 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 'each' 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 yel 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.

8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, 9 saying, Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of Imeeting, that ye die 'not': it shall be a statute for ever throughout your gen

10 erations and 'that 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 offerings 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 due 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 'he 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

into the 'sanctuary' within: ye should Icertainly have eaten it in the 'sanct19) uary, as I commanded. And Aaron Ispake 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 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 "cheweth 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 cheweth 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)°1and' 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 lostrich, 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 Thorned owl',
