20:1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
20:2`And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;
20:3and I -- I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute My holy name.
20:4`And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,
20:5then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.
20:6`And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.
20:7`And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I am Jehovah your God;
20:8and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I am Jehovah, sanctifying you.
20:9`For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood is on him.
20:10`And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife -- who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour -- the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.
20:11`And a man who lieth with his father's wife -- the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered -- both of them are certainly put to death; their blood is on them.
20:12`And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law -- both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood is on them.
20:13`And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood is on them.
20:14`And a man who taketh the woman and her mother -- it is wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
20:15`And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.
20:16`And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it -- thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood is on them.
20:17`And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.
20:18`And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, -- even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.
20:19`And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.
20:20`And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.
20:21`And a man who taketh his brother's wife -- it is impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.
20:22`And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;
20:23and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;
20:24and I say to you, Ye -- ye do possess their ground, and I -- I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I am Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.
20:25`And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth on the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;
20:26and ye have been holy to Me; for holy am I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
20:27`And a man or woman -- when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who are wizards -- are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood is on them.'
21:1And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For any person a priest is not defiled among his people,
21:2except for his relation who is near unto him -- for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
21:3and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.
21:4`A master priest doth not defile himself among his people -- to pollute himself;
21:5they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;
21:6they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
21:7`A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he is holy to his God;
21:8and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy am I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.
21:9`And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by going a-whoring -- her father she is polluting; with fire she is burnt.
21:10`And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,
21:11nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;
21:12nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God is on him; I am Jehovah.
21:13`And he taketh a wife in her virginity;
21:14widow, or cast out, or polluted one -- a harlot -- these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take for a wife,
21:15and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying him.'
21:16And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
21:17`Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,
21:18for no man in whom is blemish doth draw near -- a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,
21:19or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
21:20or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.
21:21`No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish is in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.
21:22`Bread of his God -- of the most holy things, and of the holy things -- he doth eat;
21:23only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish is in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying them.'
21:24And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
22:1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
22:2`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I am Jehovah.
22:3`Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him -- even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I am Jehovah.
22:4`Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue -- of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,
22:5or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness --
22:6the person who cometh against it -- hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,
22:7and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it is his food;
22:8a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I am Jehovah.
22:9`And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I am Jehovah sanctifying them.
22:10`And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;
22:11and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.
22:12`And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, -- she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;
22:13and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.
22:14`And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given it to the priest, with the holy thing;
22:15and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel -- that which they lift up to Jehovah,
22:16nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying them.'
22:17And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
22:18`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;
22:19at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;
22:20nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.
22:21`And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;
22:22blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed -- ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.
22:23`As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed -- a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.
22:24As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing -- ye do not bring it near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.
22:25And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption is in them; blemish is in them; they are not pleasing for you.'
22:26And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
22:27`When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;
22:28but an ox or sheep -- it and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.
22:29`And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,
22:30on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I am Jehovah;
22:31and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I am Jehovah;
22:32and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I am Jehovah, sanctifying you,
22:33who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I am Jehovah.'
23:1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23:2`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, are these: they are My appointed seasons:
23:3six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it is a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
23:4`These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:
23:5in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to Jehovah;
23:6and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;
23:7on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;
23:8and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'
23:9And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23:10`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,
23:11then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.
23:12`And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,
23:13and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.
23:14`And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God -- a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.
23:15`And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;
23:16unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;
23:17out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two loaves, of two tenth deals of flour they are, with yeast they are baken, first-fruits to Jehovah.
23:18`And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
23:19`And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,
23:20and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first-fruits -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;
23:21and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work -- a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.
23:22`And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah am your God.'
23:23And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23:24`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;
23:25ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'
23:26And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23:27`Only -- on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;
23:28and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.
23:29`For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;
23:30and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;
23:31ye do no work -- a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32It is a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'
23:33And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
23:34`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month is a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;
23:35on the first day is a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,
23:36seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it is a restraint, ye do no servile work.
23:37`These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,
23:38apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.
23:39`Only -- in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day is a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;
23:40and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.
23:41`And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year -- a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.
23:42`In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,
23:43so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, am your God.'
23:44And Moses speaketh concerning the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.
