5 LORD your God. And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it 'that 6 ye may be accepted'. It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt 7 with fire. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomina(8 tion; it shall not be accepted: but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy har10 vest.

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 judgement, in meteyard, in weight, 36 or in measure. 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 37) land of Egypt. And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all my judgements, and do them: I am the LORD.

201 And the LORD spake unto Moses, (2 saying, Moreoverꞌ, 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 of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with 3 stones. I also 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 4 my holy name. And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from 'that' man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and 'put' him 5 not to death': 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 6 among their people. And the soul that turneth 'unto them that have familiar spirits, and 'unto the wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his 7 people. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the 8 LORD your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the 9) LORD which sanctify you. °For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be 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 11 death. 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 12 blood shall be upon them. 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 °And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind', both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood 14 shall be upon them. And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is 1wickedness: 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 16 shall slay the beast. 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 17 upon them. 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 shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he 18 shall bear his iniquity. And if a

[ocr errors]

man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath made naked' her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among 19 their people. And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he hath made naked his near kin: 20 they shall bear their iniquity. And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; 21 they shall die childless. And if a

man shall take his brother's wife, it is impurity: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgements, and do them that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, 'vomit' 23 you not out. And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they 'did' all these things, and therefore I ab24 horred them. But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land 'flowing' with milk and honey:

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defile himself for the (2 dead among his people; except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for 3 his brother; and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, which hath had no husband, for her may he (4 defile himself. He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among 5 his people, to profane himself. They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any (6 cuttings in their flesh. They shall

be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer : 7 therefore they shall be holy. They shall not take a woman' that is a harlot', or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his 8 God. 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 9 holy. And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot', she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

And he shall 14) take a wife in her virginity. °A

widow, or one divorced, or al 3profane woman, 'an harlot, these shall he not take but a virgin of his own 15) people shall he take to wife. And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am the LORD which sanctify him.

16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 17 saying, Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed 'throughout their generations that hath al blemish, let him not approach to offer 18 the bread of his God. 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, 19 or any thing superfluous, or a man

that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20 or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that

hath a blemish in his eye, or lis! scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones 21) broken; no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to 22 offer the bread of his God. °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 veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am the 24 LORD which sanctify them.

"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) bathe 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.

They shall therefore keep 'my 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 11 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 a priest's daugh

But if la' 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.
