of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be 'an' 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. (29 °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 Imanner 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 keep 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 an' holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a 2solemn 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, leach 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 'fruit 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 'a 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 5two 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 to 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

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 mortally 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 Ithe 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.

(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, even 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

23 the old store. And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity'; for the land is mine: for ye are 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 suffi27 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.

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; 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 Levites

2 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 3suburbs 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

Iwith 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.

47) And if a stranger or sojourner 'with' thee 'be waxen1 rich, and thy brother 'be waxen poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the (48 stranger's family: after that he is

sold he may be redeemed; one of his 49 brethren may redeem him: lor 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 waxen rich', he may re50 deem himself. And he shall reckon

with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself 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 'he' be (51 with him. "If there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give 'back' the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought (52 for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give 'back' the (53) price of his redemption. As a servant hired year by year' shall he be with him he shall not rule with (54 rigour over him in thy sight. And

if he be not redeemed by these "means, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, he, and his children with 55 him. 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. 261) Ye shall make you no 'idols, neither

shall ye rear you up a graven image, lor al pillar, neither shall ye 'place' any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD 2 your God. "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 'your rains' in 'their' season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field 5 shall yield their fruit. 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 6 land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down,

and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to ceasel out of the land, neither shall the 7 sword go through your land. °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 Ichase ten thousand: and your enemies shall fall before you by the 9 sword. And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish my 10 covenant with you. And ye shall eat old store long kept', and 'ye shall bring forth the old "because of the 11 new. And I will set my tabernacle Jamong you and my soul shall not 12 abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye 13 shall be my people. 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 'bars' of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14

:

But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these command(15 ments; and if ye shall 'reject' my statutes, 'and' if your soul abhor my judgements, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my 16) covenant; I also will do this unto you; I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and 'make the soul to pine away!: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your 17 enemies shall eat it. "And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be Ismitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall 'rule over you; and

ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for 'these things! hearken unto me, then I will 'chastise! you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your

power; and I will make your heaven 20 as iron, and your earth as brass: and your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the 21 land yield their fruit'. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times 'more' plagues upon you accord(22 ing to your sins. And I will send 5 Or, from before

..

or ..

the beast of the field' among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall 23) 'become1 desolate. oÅnd if by these things ye will not be reformed "unto me, but will walk contrary unto me; 24 then will I also walk contrary unto

you; and I will 'smitel you, 'even I, 25 seven times for your sins. °And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall lexecute the vengeancel of 'the' covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of (26) the enemy. "When I break your

27

staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; (28 then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you 29 seven times for your sins. And

ye

shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye 30 eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul 31 shall abhor you. And I will make your cities a waste, and 'will' bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your 32 sweet odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be aston33) ished at it. And you will I scatter among the 'nations', and 'I will draw out the sword after you and your land shall be la desolation', and your 34 cities shall be a waste. 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 have rest; leven the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye (36 dwelt upon it. And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their 'heart' in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a 'driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth' from

'the sword; and they shall fall when 37 none pursueth. And they shall 'stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall have no power to stand 38 before your enemies. And ye shall perish among the nations', 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 40) with them. And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that because they have walked contrary (41 unto me, I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart! be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment 42 of their iniquity; 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 (43 the land. "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 rejected' my judgements, and their soul abhorred my 44 statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: 45 for I am the LORD their God: 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 nations', that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

These are the statutes and judgements and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

271 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Speak unto the children of

Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy 3 estimation. And thy estimation shall
