The Third Book of Moses, called [a]Leviticus
1 1 Of burnt offerings for particular persons. 3, 10, and 14 The manner to offer burnt offerings as well of bullocks, as of sheep and birds.
1 Now the [b]Lord called Moses, and spake unto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, If any of you offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, ye shall offer your sacrifice of [c]cattle, as of beeves and of the sheep.
3 (A)If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, presenting him of his own voluntary will at the door of the [d]Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted [e]to the Lord, to be his atonement.
5 And [f]he shall kill the bullock before the Lord, and the Priests Aaron’s sons shall offer the blood, and shall sprinkle it round about upon the [g]altar, that is by the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
6 Then shall he slay the burnt offering, and cut it in pieces.
7 So the sons of Aaron the Priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
8 Then the Priests Aaron’s sons shall lay the parts in order, the head and the [h]caul upon the wood that is in the fire which is upon the altar.
9 But the inwards thereof and the legs thereof he shall wash in water, and the Priest shall burn all on the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweet savor [i]unto the Lord.
10 ¶ And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheep, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 [j]And he shall kill it on the North side of the altar [k]before the Lord, and the Priests Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it in [l]pieces, separating his head and his [m]caul, and the Priest shall lay them in order upon the wood that lieth in the fire which is on the altar:
13 But he shall wash the inwards, and the legs with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole and burn it upon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
14 ¶ And if his sacrifice be a burnt offering to the Lord of the fowls, then shall he offer his sacrifice of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons.
15 And the Priest shall bring it unto the altar, and [n]wring the neck of it asunder, and burn it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall be [o]shed upon the side of the altar.
16 And he shall pluck out his maw with his feathers, and cast them beside the altar on the [p]East part in the place of the ashes.
17 And he shall cleave it with his wings, but not divide it asunder: and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar upon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
2 1 The meat offering is after three sorts of fine flour unbaked. 4 Of bread baked.
1 And when any will offer a [q]meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil upon it, and put incense thereon.
2 And shall bring it unto Aaron’s sons the Priests, and [r]he shall take thence his handful of the flour, and of the oil with all the incense, and the Priest shall burn it for a [s]memorial upon the altar: for it is an offering made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
3 But the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: for it is [t]most holy of the Lord’s offerings made by fire.
4 ¶ If thou bring also a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be an unleavened cake of fine flour mingled with oil, or an unleavened wafer anointed with oil.
5 ¶ But if thy [u]meat offering be an oblation of the frying pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 And thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: for it is a meat offering.
7 ¶ And if thy meat offering be an oblation made in the caldron, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 After, thou shalt bring the meat offering (that is made of these things) unto the Lord, and shalt present it unto the Priest, and he shall bring it to the altar,
9 And the Priest shall take from the meat offering a (B)memorial of it, and shall burn it upon the altar: for it is an oblation (C)made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
10 But that which is left of the meat offering, shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: for it is most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
11 All the meat offerings which ye shall offer unto the Lord, shall be made without leaven: for ye shall neither burn leaven nor honey in any offering of the Lord made by fire.
12 ¶ In the oblation of the firstfruits ye shall offer [v]them unto the Lord, but they shall not be burnt [w]upon the altar for a sweet savor,
13 (All the meat offerings also shalt thou season with (D)salt, neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the [x]covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering, but upon all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt.)
14 If then thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for thy meat offering of thy firstfruits (E)ears of corn dried by the fire, and wheat beaten out of [y]the green ears.
15 After, thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay incense thereon: for it is a meat offering.
16 And the Priest shall burn the memorial of it, even of that, that is beaten, and of the oil of it with all the incense thereof: for it is an offering unto the Lord made by fire.
3 The manner of peace offerings, and beasts for the same. 17 The Israelites may not eat fat nor blood.
1 Also if his oblation be a [z]peace offering, if he will offer of the drove (whether it be male or female) he shall offer such as is without blemish, before the Lord.
2 And shall put his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and Aaron’s sons the Priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
3 So he shall offer [aa]part of the peace offering, as a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, even the (F)fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards.
4 He shall also take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and upon [ab]the flanks, and the caul on the liver with the kidneys.
5 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar, with the burnt offering, which is upon the wood, that is on the fire: this is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
6 ¶ Also if his oblation be a peace offering unto the Lord out of the flock, whether it be [ac]male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
7 If he offer a Lamb for his oblation, then he shall bring it before the Lord.
8 And lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and shall kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
9 After, of the peace offerings he shall offer [ad]an offering made by fire unto the Lord: he shall take away the fat thereof, and the rump altogether, hard by the back bone, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards.
10 Also he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is upon them, and upon the (G)flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys.
11 Then the Priest shall burn it upon the altar, as the meat of an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
12 ¶ Also if his offering be a goat, then shall he offer it before the Lord,
13 And shall put his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before [ae]the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.
14 Then he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord, the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards.
15 Also he shall take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys.
16 So the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, as the meat of an offering made by fire for a sweet savor: (H)all the fat is the Lord’s.
17 This shall be a perpetual ordinance for your generations, throughout all your dwellings, so that ye shall eat neither [af]fat nor (I)blood.
4 1 The offering for sins done of ignorance. 3 For the Priest, the Congregation, the ruler, and private man.
1 Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If [ag]any shall sin through [ah]ignorance, in any of the commandments of the Lord, (which ought not to be done) but shall do contrary to any of them,
3 If [ai]the Priest that is anointed do sin (according to the sin of the people) then shall he offer, for his sin which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering,
4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the bullock’s head, and [aj]kill the bullock before the Lord.
5 And the Priest that is anointed, shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
6 Then the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the [ak]Sanctuary.
7 The Priest also shall put some of the blood before the Lord, upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense, which is in the [al]Tabernacle of the Congregation, then shall he pour (J)all the rest of the blood of the bullock at the foot of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
8 And he shall take away all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering: to wit, the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is about the inwards.
9 He shall take away also the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys,
10 As it was taken away from the bullock of the peace offerings, and the Priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt offering.
11 (K)But the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and his legs, and his inwards, and his dung shall he bear out.
12 So he shall carry the whole bullock out of the (L)host unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured, and shall burn him on the wood in the fire: where the ashes are cast out, shall he be burnt.
13 ¶ And if the [am]whole Congregation of Israel shall sin through ignorance, and the thing be (M)hid from the eyes of the multitude, and have done against any of the commandments of the Lord which should not be done, and have offended:
14 When the sin which they have committed shall be known, then the Congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
15 And the [an]Elders of the Congregation shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord, and [ao]he shall kill the bullock before the Lord.
16 Then the Priest that is anointed, shall bring of the bullock’s blood into the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
17 And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even before the veil.
18 Also he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar, which is before the Lord, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then shall he pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and [ap]burn it upon the altar.
20 And the Priest shall do with his bullock, as he did with the bullock for his sin: so shall he do with this: so the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21 For he shall carry the bullock without the host, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: for it is an offering for the sin of the Congregation.
22 ¶ When a ruler shall sin, and do through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God, which should not be done, and shall offend,
23 If one show unto him his sin, which he hath committed, then shall he bring for his offering an [aq]he goat without blemish,
24 And shall lay his hand upon the head of the he goat, and kill it in [ar]the place where he should kill the burnt offering before the Lord: for it is a sin offering.
25 Then the Priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and shall pour the rest of his blood at the foot of the burnt offering altar,
26 And shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the peace offering: so the Priest shall make [as]an atonement for him, concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 ¶ Likewise if any of the [at]people of the land shall sin through ignorance in doing against any of the commandments of the Lord, which should not be done, and shall offend,
28 If one show him his sin which he hath committed, then he shall bring for his offering, [au]a she goat without blemish for his sin which he hath committed.
29 [av]And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 Then the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and pour all the rest of the blood thereof at the foot of the altar,
31 And shall take away all his fat, as the fat of the peace offerings is taken away, and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar for a (N)sweet savor unto the Lord, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 And if he bring a lamb for his sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.
33 And shall lay his [aw]hand upon the head of the sin offering, and he shall slay it for a sin offering in the place where he should kill the burnt offering.
34 Then the Priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and shall pour all the rest of the blood thereof at the foot of the altar.
35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb of the peace offerings is taken away: then the Priest shall burn it upon the altar [ax]with the oblations of the Lord made by fire, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
5 1 Of him that testifieth the truth. 4 Of him that voweth rashly. 15 Of him that by ignorance withdraweth anything dedicated to the Lord.
1 Also if [ay]any have sinned, that is, [az]if he have heard the voice of an oath, and he can be a witness, whether he hath seen or [ba]known of it, if he do not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity:
2 Either if one touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carrion of an unclean beast, or a carrion of unclean cattle, or a carrion of unclean creeping things, and is not ware of it, yet he is unclean, and hath offended:
3 Either if he touch any uncleanness of man (whatsoever uncleanness it be, that he is defiled with) and is not ware of it, and after cometh to the knowledge of it, he hath sinned:
4 Either if any [bb]swear and pronounce with his lips to do evil, or to do good (whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath) and it be hid from him, and after knoweth that he hath offended in one of these points,
5 When he hath sinned in any of these [bc]things, then he shall confess that he hath sinned therein.
6 Therefore shall he bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, even a female from the flock, be it a lamb or a she goat for a sin offering, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 But [bd]if he be not able to bring a sheep, he shall bring for his trespass which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons unto the Lord, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 So he shall bring them unto the Priest, who shall offer the sin offering first, and (O)wring the neck of it asunder, but not pluck it clean off.
9 After he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be [be]shed at the foot of the altar: for it is a sin offering.
10 Also he shall offer the second for a burnt offering [bf]as the manner is: so shall the Priest [bg]make an atonement for him (for his sin which he hath committed) and it shall be forgiven him.
11 ¶ But if he (P)be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that hath sinned, shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an [bh]Ephah of fine flour for a sin offering, he shall put none [bi]oil thereto, neither put any incense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the Priest, and the Priest shall take his handful of it for the (Q)remembrance thereof, and burn it upon the altar (R)with the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for it is a sin offering.
13 So the Priest shall make an atonement for him, as touching his sin, that he hath committed in one of these points, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the Priest’s, as the meat offering.
14 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15 If any person transgress and sin through ignorance [bj]by taking away things consecrated unto the Lord, he shall then bring for his trespass offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, worth two shekels of silver [bk]by thy estimation after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 So he shall restore that wherein he hath offended, in taking away of the holy thing, and shall put the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto the Priest: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17 ¶ Also if any sin and (S)do against any of the Commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and know not, and [bl]sin and bear his iniquity,
18 Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, in thy estimation worth (T)two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his [bm]ignorance wherein he erred, and was not ware: so it shall be forgiven him.
19 This is the trespass offering for the trespass committed against the Lord.
6 6 The offering for sins which are done willingly. 9 The law of the burnt offerings. 13 The fire must abide evermore upon the altar. 14 The law of the meat offering. 20 The offerings of Aaron, and his sons.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 If any sin and commit a trespass against the Lord, and deny unto his neighbor that which was taken him to keep, or that which was put to him[bn]of trust, or doth by [bo]robbery, or by violence oppress his neighbor,
3 Or hath found that which was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely, (U)for any of these things that a man doeth, wherein he [bp]sinneth:
4 When, I say, he thus sinneth and trespasseth, he shall then restore the robbery that he robbed, or the thing taken by violence which he took by force, or the thing which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or for whatsoever he hath sworn falsely, he shall both restore it in the whole (V)sum, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it pertaineth, the same day that he offereth for his trespass.
6 Also he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the (W)flock in thy estimation worth two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest.
7 And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven him, whatsoever thing he hath done, and trespassed therein.
8 ¶ Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the [bq]law of the burnt offering, (it is the burnt offering because it burneth upon the altar all the night unto the morning, and the fire burneth on the altar).
10 And the Priest shall put on his linen garment, and shall put on his linen breeches upon [br]his flesh, and take away the ashes when the fire hath consumed the burnt offering upon the altar, and he shall put them beside the [bs]altar.
11 After, he shall put off his garments, and put on other raiment, and carry the ashes forth without the host unto a clean place.
12 But the fire upon the altar shall burn thereon and never be put out: wherefore the Priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall ever burn upon the altar, and never go out.
14 ¶ (X)Also this is the law of the meat offering, which Aaron’s sons shall offer in the presence of the Lord, before the altar.
15 He shall even take thence his handful of fine flour of the meat offering and of the oil, and all the incense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor, as a (Y)memorial therefore unto the Lord:
16 But the rest thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in the holy place: in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be [bt]baked with leaven: I have given it for their portion of mine offering made by fire: for it is as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it: It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire: (Z)whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy:
19 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
20 This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an (AA)Ephah of fine flour, for a meat offering [bu]perpetual: half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
21 In the frying pan it shall be made with oil: thou shalt bring it fried, and shalt offer the [bv]baked pieces of the meat offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
22 And the Priest that is [bw]anointed in his stead, among his sons shall offer it: It is the Lord’s ordinance forever, it shall be burnt altogether.
23 For every meat offering of the Priest shall be burnt altogether, it shall not be eaten.
24 ¶ Furthermore, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and say, This is the Law of the sin offering, In the place where the burnt offering is killed, shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord, for it is most holy.
26 The Priest that offereth this sin offering, shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there droppeth of the blood thereof upon a [bx]garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it droppeth in the holy place.
28 Also the earthen pot that it is sodden in, shall be broken, but if it be sodden in a brazen pot, it shall both be scoured and washed with [by]water.
29 All the males among the Priests shall eat thereof, for it is most holy.
30 (AB)But no sin offering, whose blood is brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to make reconciliation in the holy place, shall be eaten, but shall be burnt with [bz]fire.
7 1 The law of the trespass offering. 11 Also of the peace offering. 23 The fat and the blood may not be eaten.
1 Likewise this is the law of the [ca]trespass offering, it is most holy.
2 In the place [cb]where they kill the burnt offering, shall they kill the trespass offering, and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
3 All the fat thereof also shall [cc]he offer, the rump, and the fat that covered the inwards.
4 After, he shall take away the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them and upon the flanks, and the caul on the liver with the kidneys.
5 Then the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, for an offering made by fire unto the Lord: this is a trespass offering.
6 All the males among the Priests shall eat thereof, it shall be eaten in the holy place for it is most holy.
7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering, one [cd]law serveth for both: [ce]that wherewith the Priest shall make atonement, shall be his.
8 Also the Priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, shall have the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
9 And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and that is dressed in the pan, and in the frying pan, shall be the Priest’s that offereth it.
10 And every meat offering mingled with oil, and that is [cf]dry, shall pertain unto all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.
11 Furthermore, this is the law of the peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the Lord.
12 If he offer it to [cg]give thanks, then he shall offer for his thanks offering, unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried with the cakes mingled with oil.
13 He shall offer also his offering with cakes of leavened bread, for his peace offerings, to give thanks.
14 And of all the sacrifice he shall offer one cake for an heave offering unto the Lord, and it shall be the Priest’s that sprinkled the blood of the peace offerings.
15 Also the flesh of the peace offerings, for thanksgiving, shall be eaten the same day that it is offered: he shall leave nothing thereof until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a [ch]vow, or a free offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and so in the morning the residue thereof shall be eaten.
17 But as much of the offered flesh as remaineth unto the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
18 For if any of the flesh of his peace offerings be eaten in the third day, he shall not be accepted that offereth it, neither shall it be reckoned unto him, but shall be an abomination: therefore the person that eateth of it shall [ci]bear his iniquity.
19 The flesh also that toucheth any unclean [cj]thing, shall not be eaten, but burnt with fire: but [ck]of this flesh all that be clean shall eat thereof.
20 But if any eat of the flesh of the peace offerings that pertaineth to the Lord, having his (AC)uncleanness upon him, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover, when any toucheth any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or of an unclean beast, or of any filthy abomination, and eat of the flesh of the peace offerings, which pertaineth unto the Lord, even that person shall be cut off from his people.
22 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (AD)Ye shall eat no fat of beeves, nor of sheep, nor of goats.
24 Yet the fat of the dead beast, and the fat of that, which is torn with beasts, shall be occupied to any use, but ye shall not eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of the which ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, even the person that eateth, shall be cut off from his people.
26 Neither (AE)shall ye eat any blood, either of fowl, or of beast in all your dwellings.
27 Every person that eateth any blood, even the same person shall be cut off from his people.
28 ¶ And the Lord talked with Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, He that offereth his peace offerings unto the Lord, shall bring his gift unto the Lord of his peace offerings.
30 His [cl]hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire: even the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be (AF)shaken to and fro before the Lord.
31 Then the Priest shall burn the fat upon the Altar, and the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the Priest for an heave offering, of your peace offerings.
33 The same that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat among the sons of Aaron, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
34 For the breast shaken to and fro, and the shoulder lifted up, have I taken of the children of Israel, even of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the Priest and unto his sons by a statute forever from among the children of Israel.
35 ¶ This is the [cm]anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve in the Priest’s office unto the Lord.
36 The which portions the Lord commanded to give them in the day that he anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute forever in their generations.
37 This is also the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the [cn]consecrations, and of the peace offerings,
38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel to offer their gifts unto the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.
8 12 The anointing of Aaron, and his sons, with the sacrifice concerning the same.
1 Afterward the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 (AG)Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the (AH)anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread,
3 And assemble all the company at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
4 So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and the company was assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
5 Then Moses said unto the company, (AI)This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded to do.
6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water,
7 And put upon him the coat, and girded him with a girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the Ephod on him, which he girded with the broidered girdle of the Ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
8 And he put the breastplate thereon, and put in the breastplate (AJ)the Urim and the Thummim.
9 Also he put the miter upon his head, and put upon the miter on the forefront the golden plate, and the [co]holy crown, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
10 (Now Moses had taken the anointing oil, and anointed the [cp]Tabernacle, and all that was therein, and sanctified them,
11 And sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his instruments, and the laver, and his foot, to sanctify them.)
12 (AK)And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him to sanctify him.
13 After, Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon their heads, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
14 (AL) Then he brought the bullock for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
15 And Moses slew him, and took the blood, which he put upon the horn of the [cq]Altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar: so he sanctified [cr]it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16 Then he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, which Moses burned upon the altar.
17 But the bullock and his [cs]hide, and his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the host as the Lord had commanded Moses.
18 ¶ Also he brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands upon the head of the ram.
19 So Moses killed it, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about,
20 And Moses cut the ram in pieces, and burnt the head with the pieces, and the fat,
21 And washed the inwards and the legs in water: so Moses burnt the ram every whit upon the Altar: for it was a burnt offering for a sweet savor, which was made by fire unto the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 ¶ (AM)After, he brought the other ram, the ram of consecrations, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram,
23 Which Moses [ct]slew, and took of the blood of it, and put it upon the lap of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
24 Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put of the blood on the lap of their right ears, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet, and Moses sprinkled the rest of the blood upon the Altar round about.
25 And he took the fat and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder.
26 Also he took of the basket of the unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder.
27 So he put (AN)all in Aaron’s hands, and in his sons’ hands, and shook it to and fro before the Lord.
28 After, Moses took them out of their hands, and burnt them upon the altar for a burnt offering: for these were consecrations for a sweet savor, which were made by fire unto the Lord.
29 Likewise Moses took the breast of the ram of consecrations, and shook it to and fro before the Lord: for it was Moses’ (AO)portion as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 Also 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 on his sons’ garments with him: so he sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
31 ¶ Afterward Moses said unto Aaron and his sons, Seethe the flesh at the door of the [cu]Tabernacle of the Congregation, and there (AP)eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 But that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread, shall ye burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not depart from the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation seven days, until the days of your consecrations be at an end: (AQ)for seven days, said the Lord, shall he [cv]consecrate you,
34 As [cw]he hath done this day: so the Lord hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, day and night, seven days, and shall keep the watch of the Lord, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord had commanded by the[cx]hand of Moses.
9 8 The first offerings of Aaron. 12 Aaron blesseth the people. 23 The glory of the Lord is showed. 24 The fire cometh from the Lord.
1 And in the [cy]eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the Elders of Israel:
2 (AR)Then he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a [cz]sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and bring them before the Lord.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye an he goat for a sin offering, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, without blemish for a burnt offering:
4 Also a bullock, and a ram for peace offerings, to offer before the Lord, and a meat offering mingled with oil: for today the Lord will appear unto you.
5 ¶ Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the assembly drew near, and stood before the [da]Lord.
6 (For Moses had said, This is the thing, which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.)
7 Then Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near to the Altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for [db]thee and for the people: offer also the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord hath commanded.
8 ¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the Altar, and poured the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.
10 But the fat and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver of the sin offering, he [dc]burnt unto the Altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
11 The flesh also and the hide he burnt with fire without the host.
12 After, he slew the burnt offering, and Aaron’s sons brought unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about the Altar.
13 Also they brought the burnt offering unto him with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them upon the Altar.
14 Likewise he did wash the inwards and the legs, and [dd]burnt them upon the burnt offering on the Altar.
15 ¶ Then he offered the people’s offering and took a goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it: and offered it for sin, as the first:
16 So he offered the burnt offering, and prepared it, according to the manner.
17 He presented also the meat offering, and filled his hand thereof, and (AS)beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning he burnt this upon the altar.
18 He slew also the bullock, and the ram for the peace offerings, that was for the people, and Aaron’s sons brought unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the Altar round about.
19 With the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver.
20 So they laid the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the Altar.
21 But the [de]breasts and the right shoulder Aaron shook to and fro before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 So Aaron lift up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and [df]came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23 After, Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out, and [dg]blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (AT)And there came a fire out from the Lord, and consumed upon the Altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they [dh]gave thanks, and fell on their faces.
10 2 Nadab and Abihu are burnt. 6 Israel mourneth for them. 9 The Priests are forbidden wine.
1 But (AU)Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censor, and put fire therein, and put incense thereupon, and offered [di]strange fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them.
2 Therefore a fire went out from the Lord, and devoured them: so they died before the Lord.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be [dj]sanctified in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified: but Aaron held his peace.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your [dk]brethren from before the Sanctuary out of the host.
5 Then they went, and carried them in their coats out of the host, as Moses had commanded.
6 After, Moses said unto Aaron and unto Eleazar, and Ithamar his sons, [dl]Uncover not your heads, neither rent your clothes, lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, all the house of Israel bewail the burning which the Lord hath [dm]kindled.
7 And go not ye out from the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you: and they did according to Moses’ commandment.
8 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying,
9 Thou shalt not drink wine nor [dn]strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest ye die: this is an ordinance forever throughout your generations,
10 That ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between the clean and the unclean,
11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath commanded them by the [do]hand of Moses.
12 ¶ Then Moses said unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy duty and thy son’s duty of the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14 Also the (AV)shaken breast and the [heave] shoulder shall ye eat in a [dp]clean place: thou, and thy sons, and thy [dq]daughters with thee: for they are given as thy [dr]duty and thy son’s duty, of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 The heave shoulder, and the shaken breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to shake it to and fro before the Lord, and it shall be thine and thy sons with thee by a law forever, as the Lord hath commanded.
16 ¶ And Moses sought the goat that was offered for sin, and lo, it was burnt: therefore he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron, which were [ds]left alive, saying,
17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most Holy? and God hath given it you, to bear the iniquity of the Congregation, to make an atonement for them before the Lord.
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought within the holy place: ye should have eaten it in the holy place, (AW)as I commanded.
19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day [dt]have they offered their sin offering, and their burnt offering before the Lord, and such things as thou knowest are come unto me: If I had eaten the sin offering today, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?
20 So when Moses heard it, he was [du]content.
11 1 Of beasts, fishes and birds, which be clean, and which be unclean.
1 After, the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (AX)These are the beasts which ye [dv]shall eat, among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the [dw]hoof, and is cloven footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat:
4 But of them that chew the cud, or divide the hoof only, of them ye shall not eat: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and divideth not the hoof, he shall be unclean unto you.
5 Likewise the coney, because he cheweth the cud, and divideth not the hoof, he shall be unclean to you.
6 Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and divideth not the hoof, he shall be unclean to you.
7 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shall be unclean to you.
8 Of their [dx]flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch: for they shall be unclean to you.
9 ¶ These shall ye eat, of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, or in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 But all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, or in the rivers, of all that [dy]moveth in the waters, and of all [dz]living things that are in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.
11 They, I say, shall be an abomination to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, but shall abhor their carcass.
12 Whatsoever hath not fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be abomination unto you.
13 ¶ These shall ye have also in abomination among the fowls, they shall not be eaten, for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the [ea]goshawk, and the osprey:
14 Also the vulture, and the kite after his kind,
15 Also the ravens after their kind:
16 The ostrich also, and the night-crow, and the [eb]seamew, and the hawk after his kind.
17 The little owl also, and the cormorant, and the great owl:
18 Also the [ec]redshank, and the pelican, and the swan:
19 The stork also, the heron after his kind, and the lapwing and the [bat]:
20 Also every fowl that creepeth and goeth upon all four, such shall be an abomination unto you.
21 Yet these shall ye eat: of every fowl that creepeth, and goeth upon all four which [ed]have their feet and legs all of one to leap withal upon the earth.
22 Of them ye shall eat these, the grasshopper after his kind, and the [ee]solean after his kind, the hargol after his kind, and the hagab after his kind.
23 But all other fowls that creep and have four feet, they shall be abomination unto you.
24 For by such ye shall be polluted: whosoever toucheth the carcass, shall be unclean unto the evening.
25 Whosoever also [ef]beareth of their carcass, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until even.
26 Every beast that hath claws divided, and is [eg]not cloven footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shall be unclean unto you: everyone that toucheth them, shall be unclean.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws among all manner beasts that goeth on all four, such shall be unclean unto you: who so doth touch their carcass, shall be unclean until the even.
28 And he that beareth their carcass, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: for such shall be unclean unto you.
29 ¶ Also these shall be unclean to you among the things that creep and move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the [eh][ei]frog, after his kind:
30 Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the mole.
31 These shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32 Also whatsoever any of the dead carcasses of them doth fall upon, shall be unclean, whether it be vessel of wood, or raiment, or [ej]skin, or sack: whatsoever vessel it be that is occupied, it shall be put in the water as unclean until the even, and so be purified.
33 But every earthen vessel, wherein any of them falleth, whatsoever is within it shall be unclean, and (AY)ye shall break it.
34 All meat also that shall be eaten, if any such water come upon it, shall be unclean: and all drink that shall be drunk in all such vessels shall be unclean.
35 And everything that their carcass fall upon, shall be unclean: the furnace or the pot shall be broken: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Yet the fountains and wells where there is plenty of water shall be clean: but that which [ek]toucheth their carcasses, shall be unclean.
37 And if there fall of the dead carcass upon any seed, which useth to be sown, it shall be unclean.
38 But if any [el]water be poured upon the seed, and there fall of the dead carcass thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 If also any beast, whereof ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the even.
40 And he that eateth of the carcass of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41 Every creeping thing therefore that creepeth upon the earth, shall be an abomination, and not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the breast, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or that hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, ye shall not eat of them, for they shall be abomination.
43 Ye shall not pollute yourselves with anything that creepeth, neither make yourselves unclean with them, neither defile yourselves thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them.
44 For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be [em]holy, for I am holy, and defile not yourselves with any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
45 For I am the Lord that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of beasts, and of fowls, and of every living thing that moveth in the waters, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth:
47 That there may be a difference between the unclean and clean, and between the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.
12 2 A law how women should be purged after their deliverance.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, When a woman hath brought forth seed, and borne a man-child, she shall be unclean [en]seven days, like as she is unclean when she is put apart for her [eo](AZ)disease.
3 ((BA)And in the eighth day the foreskin of the children’s flesh shall be circumcised.)
4 And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying three [ep]and thirty days: she shall touch no [eq]hallowed thing, nor come into the [er]Sanctuary, until the time of her purifying be out.
5 But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two [es]weeks, as when she hath her disease: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
6 Now when the days of her purifying are out (whether it be for a son or for a daughter) she shall bring to the Priest a lamb of one year old for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, unto the door of the [et]Tabernacle of the Congregation,
7 Who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her: so she shall be purged of the issue of her blood: this is the law for her that hath borne a male or female.
8 But if she [eu]be not able to bring a lamb, she shall bring two (BB)turtles, or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the Priest shall make an atonement for her: so she shall be clean.
13 2 What considerations the Priests ought to have in judging the leprosy, 29 the black spot, or scab, 47 and the leprosy of the garment.
1 Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 The man that shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling or a scab, or a white spot, so that in the skin of his flesh [ev]it be like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the Priest, or unto one of his sons the Priests,
3 And the Priest shall look on the sore in the skin of his flesh: if the hair in the sore be turned into white, and the sore seen to be [ew]lower than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: therefore the Priest shall look on him, and [ex]pronounce him unclean.
4 But if the white spot be in the skin of his flesh, and seem not to be lower than the skin, nor the hair thereof be turned unto white, then the Priest shall shut up him that hath the plague, seven days.
5 After, the Priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if the plague seem [ey]to him to abide still, and the plague grow not in the skin, the Priest shall shut him up yet seven days more.
6 Then the Priest shall look on him again the seventh day, and if the plague [ez]be dark, and the sore grow not in the skin, then the Priest shall [fa]pronounce him clean, for it is a scab: therefore he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7 But if the scab grow more in the skin, after that he is seen of the Priest for to be purged, he shall be seen of the Priest yet again.
8 Then the Priest shall consider, and if the scab [fb]grow in the skin, then the Priest shall pronounce him [fc]unclean: for it is leprosy.
9 ¶ When the plague of leprosy is in a man, he shall be brought unto the Priest,
10 And the Priest shall see him: and if the swelling be white in the skin, and have made the hair white, and there be raw flesh in the swelling,
11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh: and the Priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.
12 Also if the leprosy [fd]break out in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of the plague, from his head even to his feet, wheresoever the Priest looketh,
13 Then the Priest shall consider: and if the leprosy cover all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plague to be [fe]clean, because it is all turned into whiteness: so he shall be clean.
14 But if there be raw flesh on him when he is seen, he shall be unclean.
15 For the Priest shall see the raw flesh, and declare him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is [ff]unclean, therefore it is the leprosy.
16 Or if the raw flesh change and be turned into white, then he shall come to the Priest,
17 And the Priest shall behold him: and if the sore be changed into white, then the Priest shall pronounce the plague clean, for it is clean.
18 ¶ The flesh also in whose skin there is [fg]a boil, and is healed
19 And in the place of the boil there be a white swelling, or a white spot somewhat reddish, it shall be seen of the Priest.
20 And when the Priest seeth it, if it appear lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be changed into white, the Priest then shall pronounce him [fh]unclean: for it is a plague of leprosy, broken out in the boil.
21 But if the Priest look on it, and there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be darker, then the Priest shall shut him up seven days.
22 And if it spread abroad in the flesh, the Priest shall pronounce him unclean, for it is a sore.
23 But if the spot continue in his place, and grow not, it is a burning boil: therefore the Priest shall declare him to be clean.
24 ¶ If there be any flesh, in whose skin there is an hot burning, and the quick flesh of the burning have a [fi]white spot, somewhat reddish or pale,
25 Then the Priest shall look upon it: and if the hair in that spot be changed into white, and it appear lower than the skin, it is a leprosy broken out in the burning: therefore the Priest shall pronounce him unclean: for it is the plague of leprosy.
26 But if the Priest look on it, and there be no white hair in the spot, and be no lower than the other skin, but be darker, then the Priest shall shut him up seven days.
27 After, the Priest shall look on him the seventh day: if it be grown abroad in the skin, then the Priest shall pronounce him unclean: for it is the plague of leprosy.
28 And if the spot abide in his place, not growing in the skin, but is dark, it is a [fj]rising of the burning: the Priest shall therefore declare him clean: for it is the drying up of the burning.
29 ¶ If also a man or a woman hath a sore on the head or in the beard,
30 Then the Priest shall see the sore: and if it appears lower than the skin, and there be in it a small yellow [fk]hair, then the Priest shall pronounce him unclean: for it is a black spot, and leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31 And if the Priest look on the sore of the black spot, and if it seem not lower than the skin, nor have any black hair in it, then the Priest shall shut up him that hath the sore of the black spot, seven days.
32 After, in the seventh day the Priest shall look on the sore: and if the black spot grow not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the black spot seem not lower than the skin,
33 Then he shall be shaven, but the place of the black spot shall he not shave: but the Priest shall shut up him that hath black spot, seven days more.
34 And the seventh day the Priest shall look on the black spot: and if the black spot grow not in the skin, nor seem lower than the other skin, then the Priest shall cleanse him, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
35 But if the black spot grow abroad in the flesh after his cleansing,
36 Then the Priest shall look on it, and if the black spot grow in the skin, the Priest shall not [fl]seek for the yellow hair: for it is unclean.
37 But if the black spot seem to him to abide, and that black hair grow therein, the black spot is healed, he is clean, and the Priest shall declare him to be clean.
38 ¶ Furthermore if there be any white spots in the skin of the flesh of man or woman,
39 Then the Priest shall consider: and if the spots in the skin of their flesh be somewhat dark and white withal, it is but a white spot broken out in the skin: therefore he is clean.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, and is bald, is clean.
41 And if his head lose the [fm]hair on the forepart, and be bald before, he is clean.
42 But if there be in the bald head, or in the bald forehead a white reddish sore, it is a leprosy springing in his bald head, or in his bald forehead.
43 Therefore the Priest shall look upon it, and if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, appearing like leprosy in the skin of the flesh,
44 He is a leper and unclean: therefore the Priest shall pronounce him altogether unclean: for the sore is in his head.
45 The leper also in whom the plague is, shall have his clothes [fn]rent, and his head bare, and shall put a covering upon his [fo]lips, and shall cry, I am unclean, I am unclean.
46 As long as the disease shall be upon him, he shall be polluted, for he is unclean: he shall dwell alone, (BC)without the camp shall his habitation be.
47 ¶ Also the garment that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woolen garment or a linen garment,
48 Whether it be in the warp or in the woof of linen or of woolen, either in a skin, or in anything made of skin,
49 And if the sore be green or somewhat reddish in the garment or in the skin, or in the warp or in the woof, or in anything that is made of [fp]skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be showed unto the Priest.
50 Then the Priest shall see the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague, seven days,
51 And shall look on the plague the seventh day: if the plague grow in the garment or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, or in anything that is made of skin, that plague is a fretting leprosy and unclean.
52 And he shall burn the garment, or the warp, or the woof, whether it be woolen or linen, or anything that is made of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy, therefore it shall be burnt in the fire.
53 If the Priest yet see that the plague [fq]grow not in the garment, or in the woof, or in whatsoever thing of skin it be,
54 Then the Priest shall command them to wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more.
55 Again the Priest shall look on the plague, after it is washed: and if the plague have not changed his [fr]color, though the plague spread no further, it is unclean: thou shalt burn it in the fire, for it is a fret inward, [fs]whether the spot be in the bare place of the whole, or in part thereof.
56 And if the Priest see that the plague be darker, after that it is washed, he shall cut it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof.
57 And if it appear still in the garment or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin, it is a spreading leprosy: thou shalt burn the thing wherein the plague is, in the fire.
58 If thou hast washed the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, if the plague be departed therefrom, then shall it be washed [ft]the second time, and be clean.
59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, to make it clean or unclean.
14 1 The cleansing of the leper, 34 And of the house that he is in.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 (BD)This is the [fu]law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: that is, he shall be brought unto the Priest,
3 And the Priest shall go out of the camp, and the Priest shall consider him: and if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper,
4 Then shall the Priest command to take for him that is cleansed, two [fv]sparrows alive and [fw]clean, and cedarwood and a scarlet lace, and hyssop.
5 And the Priest shall command to kill one of the birds over [fx]pure water in an earthen vessel.
6 After, he shall take the live sparrow with the cedarwood, and the scarlet lace, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living sparrow in the blood of the sparrow slain, over the pure water.
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him, that must be cleansed of his leprosy, seven times, and cleanse him, and shall [fy]let go the live sparrow into the broad field.
8 Then he that shall be cleansed, shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, so he shall be clean: after that shall he come into the host, and shall tarry without his tent seven days.
9 So in the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair both his head and his beard, and his eyebrows: even all his hair shall be shaven, and shall wash his clothes, and shall wash his flesh in water: so he shall be clean.
10 Then in the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without [fz]blemish, and an ewe lamb of a year old without blemish, and three-tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, [ga]and a pint of oil.
11 And the Priest that maketh him clean shall bring the man which is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 Then the Priest shall take one lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and (BE)shake them to and fro before the Lord.
13 And he shall kill the lamb in the place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slain, even in the holy place: for as the (BF)sin offering is the Priest’s, so is the trespass offering: for it is most holy.
14 So the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the lap of the right ear of him that shall be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
15 The Priest shall also take of the pint of oil, and pour it into the palm of his left hand,
16 And the Priest shall dip his [gb]right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord.
17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand, shall the Priest put upon the lap of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, [gc]where the blood of the trespass offering was put.
18 But the remnant of the oil that is in the Priest’s hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.
19 And the Priest shall offer the burnt offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed of his uncleanness: then after shall he kill the burnt offering.
20 So the Priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the Altar: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him: so he shall be clean.
21 But if he be poor, and not [gd]able, then he shall bring one lamb for a trespass offering to be shaken, for his reconciliation, and a [ge]tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil, for a meat offering, with a pint of oil.
22 Also two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering,
23 And he shall bring them the eighth day for his cleansing unto the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.
24 Then the Priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and the Priest shall [gf]shake them to and fro before the Lord.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the lap of his right ear that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
26 Also the Priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own [gg]left hand.
27 So the Priest shall with his right finger sprinkle of the oil that is in his left hand, seven times before the Lord.
28 Then the Priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand, upon the lap of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: upon the place [gh]of the blood of the trespass offering.
29 But the rest of the oil that is in the Priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord.
30 Also he shall present one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, [gi]as he is able.
31 Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, [gj]with the meat offering: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.
32 This is the [gk]Law of him which hath the plague of leprosy, who is not able in his cleansing to offer the whole.
