1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, and spoke unto him out of the Ohel Mo’ed (Tent of Meeting, i.e., Tabernacle) saying,

² Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring a korban unto Hashem, ye shall bring your korban of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

³ If his korban be an olah (burnt sacrifice) of the herd, let him offer a zachar tamim (male without blemish); he shall offer it that he may be accepted at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed before Hashem.

⁴ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the olah (burnt offering); and it shall be accepted for him to make kapparah for him.

⁵ And he shall slaughter (shachat) the young bull before Hashem; and the kohanim, Aharon’s banim, shall bring the dahm, and sprinkle the dahm around upon the Mizbe’ach that is by the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.

⁶ And he shall skin the olah, and cut it into pieces.

⁷ And the Bnei Aharon the kohen shall put eish upon the Mizbe’ach, and lay the wood in order upon the eish;

⁸ And the kohanim, Aharon’s banim, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the eish which is upon the Mizbe’ach:

⁹ But his innards and his legs shall he wash in mayim; and the kohen shall burn the whole on the Mizbe’ach, to be an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re’ach nicho’ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.

¹⁰ And if his korban be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for an olah (burnt offering); he shall bring it a zachar tamim (male without blemish).

¹¹ And he shall slaughter (shachat) it on the side of the Mizbe’ach northward before Hashem: and the kohanim, Aharon’s banim, shall sprinkle his dahm around upon the Mizbe’ach.

¹² And he shall cut it into pieces, with his head and his fat; and the kohen shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the eish which is upon the Mizbe’ach:

¹³ But he shall wash the innards and the legs with mayim; and the kohen shall bring the whole, and burn it upon the Mizbe’ach: it is an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re’ach nicho’ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.

¹⁴ And if the olah for his korban to Hashem be of fowls, then he shall bring his korban of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

¹⁵ And the kohen shall bring it unto the Mizbe’ach, and wring off his head, and burn it on the Mizbe’ach; and the dahm thereof shall be pressed out at the side of the Mizbe’ach:

¹⁶ And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the Mizbe’ach on the east side, by the place of the ashes:

¹⁷ And he shall tear it open with the wings thereof, but shall not tear it in half; and the kohen shall burn it upon the Mizbe’ach, upon the wood that is upon the eish; it is an olah, an offering made by eish, of a re’ach nicho’ach (sweet savour) unto Hashem.

2 And when a nefesh will offer a korban minchah unto Hashem, his korban shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour shemen upon it, and put incense thereon;

² And he shall bring it to the Bnei Aharon the kohanim; and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the shemen thereof, with all the incense thereof; and the kohen shall burn the memorial portion of it upon the Mizbe’ach, to be an offering made by eish, of a re’ach nicho’ach unto Hashem;

³ And the remnant of the minchah shall belong to Aharon and his Banim; it is a kodesh kodashim of the offerings of Hashem made by eish.

⁴ And if thou bring a korban minchah baked in an oven, it shall be matzot cakes of fine flour mixed with shemen, or matzot wafers anointed with shemen.

⁵ And if thy korban minchah be on a pan, it shall be of fine flour matzot, mixed with shemen.

⁶ Thou shalt break it in pieces, and pour shemen thereon; it is a minchah.

⁷ And if thy korban minchah be in a deep pan, it shall be made of fine flour with shemen.

⁸ And thou shalt bring the minchah that is made of these things unto Hashem; and when it is presented unto the kohen, he shall bring it unto the Mizbe’ach.

⁹ And the kohen shall take from the minchah a memorial portion thereof, and shall burn it upon the Mizbe’ach; it is an offering made by eish, of a re’ach nicho’ach unto Hashem.

¹⁰ And that which is left of the minchah shall belong to Aharon and his Banim; it is a kodesh kodashim of the offerings of Hashem made by eish.

¹¹ No minchah, which ye shall bring unto Hashem, shall be made with chametz; for ye shall burn no se’or, nor any devash, in any offering of Hashem made by eish.

¹² As for the korban reshit (firstfruit offering), ye shall offer them unto Hashem; but they shall not be burned on the Mizbe’ach for a re’ach nicho’ach.

¹³ And every korban of thy minchah shalt thou season with melach; neither shalt thou suffer the melach Brit Eloheicha to be lacking from thy minchah; with every minchah of thine thou shalt offer melach.

¹⁴ And if thou offer a minchah of thy bikkurim unto Hashem, thou shalt offer for the minchah of thy bikkurim ripe ears of grain roasted by the eish, even meal ground from new grain.

¹⁵ And thou shalt put shemen upon it, and lay incense thereon; it is a minchah.

¹⁶ And the kohen shall burn the memorial portion of it, part of the ground grain thereof, and part of the shemen thereof, with all the incense thereof; it is an offering made by eish unto Hashem.

3 And if his korban be a zevach of shelamim, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a zachar or nekevah, he shall offer it tamim (without blemish) before Hashem.

² And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his korban, and slaughter (shachat) it at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed; and Aharon’s Banim the kohanim shall sprinkle the dahm upon the Mizbe’ach around.

³ And he shall offer of the zevach of the shelamim an offering made by eish unto Hashem; the chelev (fat) that covereth the innards, and all the chelev (fat) that is upon the innards,

⁴ And the two kidneys, and the chelev (fat) that is around them, which is by the loins, and the diaphragm with the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he remove.

⁵ And Aharon’s Banim shall burn it on the Mizbe’ach upon the olah which is upon the wood that is on the eish; it is an offering made by eish, of a re’ach nicho’ach unto Hashem.

⁶ And if his korban for a zevach shelamim unto Hashem be of the flock; zachar or nekevah, he shall offer it tamim (without blemish).

⁷ If he offer a kesev (lamb) for his korban, then shall he offer it before Hashem.

⁸ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his korban, and slaughter (shachat) it before the Ohel Mo’ed; and Aharon’s Banim shall sprinkle the dahm thereof around upon the Mizbe’ach.

⁹ And he shall offer of the zevach hashelamim an offering made by eish unto Hashem; the chelev thereof, and the whole fat tail, it shall he remove by the backbone; and the chelev that covereth the innards, and all the chelev that is upon the innards,

¹⁰ And the two kidneys, and the chelev (fat) that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the diaphragm with the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he remove.

¹¹ And the kohen shall burn it upon the Mizbe’ach; it is the lechem of the offering made by eish unto Hashem.

¹² And if his korban be a goat, then he shall offer it before Hashem.

¹³ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and slaughter (shachat) it before the Ohel Mo’ed; and the Bnei Aharon shall sprinkle the dahm thereof upon the Mizbe’ach round about.

¹⁴ And he shall offer thereof his korban, even an offering made by eish unto Hashem; the chelev (fat) that covereth the innards, and all the chelev (fat) that is upon the innards,

¹⁵ And the two kidneys, and the chelev (fat) that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the diaphragm above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he remove.

¹⁶ And the kohen shall burn them upon the Mizbe’ach; it is the lechem of the offering made by eish for a re’ach nicho’ach; all the chelev (fat) is Hashem’s.

¹⁷ It shall be a chukkat olam for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither chelev (fat) nor dahm (blood).

4 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

² Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, If a nefesh shall sin through ignorance (unintentionally) against any of the mitzvot of Hashem concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them;

³ If the Kohen HaMoshiach [anointed priest, i.e. Kohen Gadol; see Ps 110:4 on the Moshiach Kohen] do sin, bringing guilt upon the people; then let him bring for his chattat (sin), which he hath sinned, a young bull tamim (without blemish) unto Hashem for a chattat (sin offering).

⁴ And he shall bring the young bull unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed before Hashem; and shall lay his hand upon the young bull’s head, and slaughter (shachat) the young bull before Hashem.

⁵ And the Kohen HaMoshiach shall take of the young bull’s dahm, and bring it to the Ohel Mo’ed;

⁶ And the kohen shall dip his forefinger in the dahm, and sprinkle of the dahm seven times before Hashem, before the Parochet (curtain) of the Kodesh.

⁷ And the kohen shall put some of the dahm upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach Ketoret HaSammim (Altar of Fragrant Incense) before Hashem, which is in the Ohel Mo’ed; and shall pour the rest of the dahm of the young bull at the base of the Mizbe’ach HaOlah which is at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.

⁸ And he shall take off from it all the chelev (fat) of the young bull for the chattat (sin offering); the chelev (fat) that covereth the innards, and all the chelev (fat) that is upon the innards,

⁹ And the two kidneys, and the chelev (fat) that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the diaphragm above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he remove,

¹⁰ Just as it was removed from the ox of the zevach hashelamim; and the kohen shall burn them upon the Mizbe’ach HaOlah.

¹¹ And the hide of the young bull, and all his basar, with his head, and with his legs, and his innards, and his dung,

¹² Even the rest of the young bull shall he carry forth outside the machaneh unto a makom tahor, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with eish; where the ashes are poured out shall he be burned.

¹³ And if the kol Adat Yisroel sin through ignorance (unintentionally), and the thing be hid from the eyes of the Kahal (Assembly), and they have done any one thing against any of the mitzvot of Hashem concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

¹⁴ When the chattat (sin), which they have sinned against it, is known, then the Kahal (Assembly) shall offer a young bull for the chattat (sin), and bring him before the Ohel Mo’ed.

¹⁵ And the Ziknei HaEdah shall lay their hands upon the head of the young bull before Hashem; and the young bull shall be slaughtered (shachat) before Hashem.

¹⁶ And the Kohen HaMoshiach [see Lv 4:3] shall bring of the young bull’s dahm to the Ohel Mo’ed;

¹⁷ And the kohen shall dip his forefinger in some of the dahm, and sprinkle [see Isa 52:15] it seven times before Hashem, even before the Parochet (curtain).

¹⁸ And he shall put some of the dahm upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach which is before Hashem, that is in the Ohel Mo’ed, and shall pour out the rest of the dahm at the base of the Mizbe’ach HaOlah, which is at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.

¹⁹ And he shall remove all his chelev (fat) from him, and burn it upon the Mizbe’ach.

²⁰ And he shall do with the young bull as he did with the young bull for a chattat (sin offering), so shall he do with this; and the kohen shall make kapporah for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

²¹ And he shall carry forth the young bull outside the machaneh, and burn him as he burned the first young bull; it is a chattat (sin offering) for the Kahal.

²² When a nasi hath sinned, and done something through ignorance against any of the mitzvot of Hashem Elohav concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

²³ Or if his chattat (sin), wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his korban, a male goat tamim (without blemish);

²⁴ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and slaughter (shachat) it in the place where they slaughter the olah (burnt offering) before Hashem; it is a chattat (sin offering).

²⁵ And the kohen shall take of the dahm of the chattat (sin offering) with his forefinger, and put it upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach HaOlah, and shall pour out his dahm at the base of the Mizbe’ach HaOlah.

²⁶ And he shall burn all his chelev (fat) upon the Mizbe’ach, as the chelev (fat) of the zevach hashelamim; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him as concerning his chattat (sin), and it shall be forgiven him.

²⁷ And if a nefesh of the am ha’aretz sin through ignorance (unintentionally), while he doeth any thing against any of the mitzvot of Hashem concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

²⁸ Or if his chattat (sin), which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; then he shall bring his korban, a female goat, a temimah nekevah (a female without blemish), for his chattat (sin) which he hath sinned.

²⁹ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the chattat (sin offering), and slaughter (shachat) the chattat (sin offering) in the place of the olah (burnt offering).

³⁰ And the kohen shall take of the dahm thereof with his forefinger, and put it upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach HaOlah, and shall pour out the rest of the dahm thereof at the base of the Mizbe’ach.

³¹ And he shall remove all the chelev (fat) thereof, as the chelev (fat) is removed from off the zevach hashelamim; and the kohen shall burn it upon the Mizbe’ach for a re’ach nicho’ach unto Hashem; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

³² And if he bring a keves (lamb) for a chattat (sin offering), he shall bring it a nekevah temimah (female without blemish).

³³ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the chattat (sin offering), and slaughter (shachat) it for a chattat (sin offering) in the place where they slaughter the olah (burnt offering).

³⁴ And the kohen shall take of the dahm of the chattat (sin offering) with his forefinger, and put it upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach HaOlah (Altar of Burnt Offering), and shall pour out the rest of the dahm thereof at the base of the Mizbe’ach;

³⁵ And he shall remove all the chelev (fat) thereof, just as the chelev (fat) of the keves (lamb) is taken away from the zevach hashelamim (sacrifice of the peace offerings); and the kohen shall burn them upon the Mizbe’ach, according to the offerings made by eish unto Hashem; and the kohen shall make kapporah for his chattat (sin) that he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

5 And if a nefesh sin, after he hears a public adjuration to give testimony, and he is an ed (witness), whether he hath seen or known of it; if he does not utter it, then he shall bear his avon (iniquity).

² Or if a nefesh touch anything tamei (unclean), whether it be a nivlat chayyah teme’ah (carcass of an unclean beast), or a nivlat behemah teme’ah (carcass of unclean livestock), or the nivlat sheretz tamei (carcass of unclean creeping things), and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be tamei, and guilty.

³ Or if he touch the tum’at adam (uncleanness of man), whatsoever tumah it be that a man shall be made unclean therewith, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.

⁴ Or if a nefesh swear, rashly pronouncing with his lips to do harah, or to do hatov, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with a shevuah (oath), and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

⁵ And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that v’hitvaddah (he shall confess) that he hath sinned in that thing;

⁶ And he shall bring his asham (penalty, trespass offering) unto Hashem for his chattat (sin) which he hath sinned, a nekevah from the flock, a lamb or a female goat, for a chattat (sin offering); and the kohen shall make kapporah for him concerning his chattat.

⁷ And if he be not able to afford a seh (lamb), then he shall bring for his asham (guilt offering, see Sanhedrin 98b on Isa 53; see Isa 53:10 which says that Moshiach’s self-offering will be an asham for his people, cf Isa 53:8), which he hath sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto Hashem; one for a chattat (sin offering), and the other for an olah (burnt offering).

⁸ And he shall bring them unto the kohen, who shall offer that which is for the chattat (sin offering) first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not separate it;

⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the dahm of the chattat (sin offering) upon the side of the Mizbe’ach; and the rest of the dahm shall be pressed out at the base of the Mizbe’ach; it is a chattat (sin offering).

¹⁰ And he shall offer the second for an olah (burnt offering), according to the mishpat (prescribed manner); and the kohen shall make kapporah for him for his chattat (sin) which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

¹¹ But if he be not able to afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his korban the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a chattat (sin offering); he shall put no shemen upon it, neither shall he put any incense thereon; for it is a chattat (sin offering).

¹² Then shall he bring it to the kohen, and the kohen shall take his handful of it, even a memorial portion thereof, and burn it on the Mizbe’ach, according to the offerings made by eish unto Hashem; it is a chattat (sin offering).

¹³ And the kohen shall make kapporah for him as touching his chattat (sin) that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him; and the remnant shall be the kohen’s, like the minchah.

¹⁴ And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

¹⁵ If a nefesh commit a ma’al (trespass), and sin through ignorance (unintentionally), in the holy things of Hashem; then he shall bring for his asham unto Hashem a ram tamim [see Gn 22:13 on the vicarious aspect of the substitutionary atonement and compare Isa 53:5,8] out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of kesef, after the Shekel HaKodesh (the Shekel of the Sanctuary), for an asham (trespass or guilt offering).

¹⁶ And he shall make restitution in regard to the holy thing in which he was remiss, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the kohen; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him with the ram of the asham (trespass offering), and it shall be forgiven him.

¹⁷ And if a nefesh sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the mitzvot Hashem; though he know it not, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his avon (iniquity).

¹⁸ And he shall bring a ram tamim out of the flock, with thy estimation, for an asham (trespass offering) unto the kohen; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and knew it not and it shall be forgiven him.

¹⁹ It is an asham (trespass offering); he hath certainly trespassed against Hashem. [See Isa 53:10 on Moshiach’s asham offering for Israel—Isa 53:8].

[TZAV]

6 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

^2 (5:21) If a nefesh sin, and commit a ma’al (trespass) against Hashem, and deceives his neighbor in that which was delivered him to keep, or entrusted to his care, or in a thing stolen, or hath cheated his neighbor;

^3 (5:22) Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth with sheker (falsely); in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein;

^4 (5:23) Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is ashem (guilty), that he shall return that which he had stolen, or the thing which he hath extorted, or that which was delivered unto his trust, or the lost thing which he found,

^5 (5:24) Or all that about which he hath sworn lasheker (falsely); he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his asham (trespass offering).

^6 (5:25) And he shall bring his asham (trespass offering) unto Hashem, a ram tamim (without blemish) out of the flock, with thy estimation, for an asham (trespass offering), unto the kohen;

^7 (5:26) And the kohen shall make kapporah for him before Hashem; and it shall be forgiven him for anything of all that he hath done that made him guilty.

^8 (6:1) And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

^9 (6:2) Command Aharon and his Banim, saying, This is the Torat HaOlah: It is the olah (burnt offering) that is to stay on the flame upon the Mizbe’ach kol halailah unto the boker, and the eish of the Mizbe’ach must be burning on it.

^10 (6:3) And the kohen shall put on his linen tunic, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his basar, and remove the ashes which the eish hath consumed with the olah (burnt offering) on the Mizbe’ach, and he shall put them beside the Mizbe’ach.

^11 (6:4) And he shall take off his garments, and put on begadim acherim (other garments), and carry forth the ashes outside the machaneh unto a makom tahor.

^12 (6:5) And the eish upon the Mizbe’ach shall be burning in it; it must not go out; and the kohen shall burn wood on it every boker, and arrange the olah (burnt offering) upon it; and he must burn thereon the chelvei HaShelamim (fat of the peace offerings).

^13 (6:6) The eish must ever be burning upon the Mizbe’ach; it shall never go out.

^14 (6:7) And this is the Torat HaMinchah: the Bnei Aharon shall offer it before Hashem, before the Mizbe’ach.

^15 (6:8) And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the minchah, and of the shemen thereof, and all the incense which is upon the minchah, and shall burn it upon the Mizbe’ach for a re’ach nicho’ach, even the memorial portion of it, unto Hashem.

^16 (6:9) And the remainder thereof shall Aharon and his Banim eat: with matzot shall it be eaten in the makom kadosh; in the khatzer (courtyard) of the Ohel Mo’ed they shall eat it.

^17 (6:10) It shall not be baked with chametz. I have given it unto them for their chelek (allotted share, portion) of My offerings made by eish; it is kodesh kodashim, like the chattat (sin offering), and like the asham (trespass offering).

^18 (6:11) Any of the zachar among the Bnei Aharon shall eat of it. It shall be a chok olam in your dorot concerning the offerings of Hashem made by eish; every one that toucheth them shall be kodesh.

^19 (6:12) And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

^20 (6:13) This is the korban of Aharon and of his Banim, which they shall offer unto Hashem in the Yom Himmashach (Day he is anointed, i.e., assumes office, seven-day ordination); the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a continual minchah, half of it in the boker, and half thereof at erev.

^21 (6:14) In a pan it shall be made with shemen; and when it is scalded, thou shalt bring it in; and the repeatedly baked minchah, broken in pieces, shalt thou offer for a re’ach nicho’ach unto Hashem.

^22 (6:15) And the kohen of his Banim that is hamoshiach (the anointed) to succeed him shall offer it; it is a chok olam unto Hashem; it shall be completely burned.

^23 (6:16) For every minchah for the kohen shall be completely burned; it shall not be eaten.

^24 (6:17) And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

^25 (6:18) Speak unto Aharon and to his Banim, saying, This is the Torat HaChattat: In the place where the olah (burnt offering) is slaughtered (shachat) shall the chattat (sin offering) be slaughtered before Hashem; it is kodesh kodashim.

^26 (6:19) The kohen that offereth it for sin shall eat it; in the makom kadosh shall it be eaten, in the khatzer (courtyard) of the Ohel Mo’ed.

^27 (6:20) Everything that touches the basar thereof shall be kodesh; and when there is sprinkled of the dahm thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the makom kadosh.

^28 (6:21) But the clay keli (vessel) wherein it is boiled must be broken; and if it be boiled in a keli nechoshet (copper vessel), it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in mayim.

^29 (6:22) Any of the zachar among the kohanim shall eat thereof; it is kodesh kodashim.

^30 (6:23) And no chattat (sin offering), whereof any of the dahm is brought into the Ohel Mo’ed to make kapporah therewith in the Kodesh (holy place), shall be eaten; it shall be burned in the eish.

7 Likewise this is the Torat HaAsham: it is kodesh kodashim.

² In the place where they slaughter (shachat) the olah (burnt offering) shall they slaughter the asham (trespass offering); and the dahm thereof shall he sprinkle around upon the Mizbe’ach.

³ And he shall offer of it all the chelev thereof; the tail, and the chelev that covereth the innards,

⁴ And the two kidneys, and the chelev that is on them, which is on the flanks, and the diaphragm that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he remove;

⁵ And the kohen shall burn them upon the Mizbe’ach for an offering made by eish unto Hashem; it is an asham (trespass offering).

⁶ Every zachar among the kohanim shall eat thereof; it shall be eaten in the makom kadosh; it is kodesh kodashim.

⁷ As the chattat (sin offering) is, so is the asham (trespass offering); there is one torah for them both; the kohen that maketh kapporah therewith shall have it.

⁸ And the kohen that offereth any man’s olah the kohen shall have for himself the hide of the olah which he hath offered.

⁹ And all the minchah that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the deep pan, and in the shallow pan, shall be the kohen’s that offereth it.

¹⁰ And every minchah, mixed with shemen, or dry, shall all the Bnei Aharon have, each equal with achiv (his brother).

¹¹ And this is the Torat Zevach HaShelamim, which he shall offer unto Hashem.

¹² If he offer it for a todah, then he shall offer with the zevach hatodah challos matzot mixed with shemen, and matzot wafers anointed with shemen, and challos mixed with scalded fine flour mixed with shemen.

¹³ Besides the challos, he shall offer for his korban lechem chametz with the zevach todah of his shelamim.

¹⁴ And of it he shall offer one cake from each korban for a terumah (contribution) unto Hashem, and it shall be the kohen’s that sprinkleth the dahm of the shelamim (peace offerings).

¹⁵ And the basar of the zevach todat shelamim of him shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the boker.

¹⁶ But if the zevach of his korban be a neder, or a nedavah, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his zevach; and on the following day also the remainder of it shall be eaten;

¹⁷ But the remainder of the basar of the zevach on the yom hashelishi shall be burned with eish.

¹⁸ And if any of the basar of the zevach of his shelamim be eaten at all on the yom hashelishi, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed (credited) unto him that offereth it; it shall be piggul, and the nefesh that eateth of it shall have his avon to bear.

¹⁹ And the basar that toucheth any thing tamei shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with eish; and as for the basar, all that be tahor shall eat thereof.

²⁰ But the nefesh that eateth of the basar of the zevach hashelamim, that pertain unto Hashem, having his tumah upon him, even that nefesh shall be cut off from his people.

²¹ Moreover the nefesh that shall touch any thing tamei, as the tumat adam (uncleanness of man, human contamination), or any behemah temeiah (contaminated animal [carcass]) or sheketz tamei (unclean abomination), and eat of the basar of the zevach hashelamim which pertain unto Hashem, even that nefesh shall be cut off from his people.

²² And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

²³ Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of chelev, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

²⁴ And the chelev of the nevelah, the beast that dieth of itself, and the chelev of the terefah, may be used in any other use; but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

²⁵ For whosoever eateth the chelev of the behemah, of which men offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem, even the nefesh that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶ Moreover ye shall eat no manner of dahm, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your moshevot (dwellings).

²⁷ Whatsoever nefesh it be that eateth any manner of dahm, even that nefesh shall be cut off from his people.

²⁸ And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

²⁹ Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, He that offereth the zevach shelamim of him unto Hashem shall bring his korban unto Hashem of the zevach shelamim of him.

³⁰ His own hands shall bring the offerings of Hashem made by eish, the chelev with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a tenufah before Hashem.

³¹ And the kohen shall burn the chelev upon the Mizbe’ach; but the breast shall belong to Aharon and his Banim.

³² And the right thigh shall ye give unto the kohen for a terumah (raised up offering) of the zevakhim of your shelamim.

³³ He among the Bnei Aharon, that offereth the dahm hashelamim and the chelev (fat), shall have the right thigh for his part.

³⁴ For the breast of the waving (tenufah) and the thigh of the terumah (raising) I have taken of the Bnei Yisroel from the zevakhim of their shelemim, and have given them unto Aharon the kohen and unto his Banim by a chok olam from among the Bnei Yisroel.

³⁵ This is the anointed portion of Aharon, and the anointed portion of his Banim, out of the offerings of Hashem made by eish, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Hashem in the kohen’s office;

³⁶ Which Hashem commanded to be given them of the Bnei Yisroel, in the day that He anointed them, by a chukkat olam throughout their dorot.

³⁷ This is the torah of the olah (burnt offering), of the minchah (grain offering), and of the chattat (sin offering), and of the asham (trespass offering), and of the ordination offerings, and of the zevach hashelamim (sacrifice of the peace offerings);

³⁸ Which Hashem commanded Moshe on Mt. Sinai, in the day that He commanded the Bnei Yisroel to offer their korbanot unto Hashem, in the Sinai Desert.

8 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

² Take Aharon and his Banim with him, and the garments, and the shemen hamishchah (anointing oil), and a bull for the chattat (sin offering), and two rams, and a basket of matzot;

³ And gather thou Kol HaEdah together unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.

⁴ And Moshe did as Hashem commanded him; and HaEdah (the Assembly) was gathered together unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.

⁵ And Moshe said unto HaEdah, This is the thing which Hashem commanded to be done.

⁶ And Moshe brought Aharon and his Banim, and immersed them with mayim.

⁷ And he put upon him the Kesones [see Yn 19:23], and girded him with the Avnet (Sash), and clothed him with the Me’il (Robe), and put the Ephod upon him, and he girded him with the Cheishev (Belt) of the Ephod, and fastened it unto him therewith.

⁸ And he put the Choshen (Breastplate) upon him; also he put in the Choshen the Urim and the Tummim.

⁹ And he put the Mitznefet (Turban) upon his head; also upon the Mitznefet (Turban) toward his face did he put the Tzitz (Headplate), the Nezer Hakodesh (Holy Diadem); as Hashem commanded Moshe.

¹⁰ And Moshe took the Shemen HaMishchah, and anointed the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and all that was therein and he set them apart as kodesh.

¹¹ And he sprinkled thereof upon the Mizbe’ach seven times, and anointed the Mizbe’ach and all its utensils, both the Kiyor (Laver) and its stand, to set them apart as kodesh.

¹² And he poured of the Shemen HaMishchah upon Aharon’s head, and anointed him, to set him apart as kodesh.

¹³ And Moshe brought the Bnei Aharon, and put Kuttonot upon them, and girded them with Sashes, and put Migba’ot (headbands) upon them; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

¹⁴ And he brought the bull for the chattat (sin offering); and Aharon and his Banim laid their hands upon the head of the bull for the chattat (sin offering).

¹⁵ And he slaughtered (shachat) it; and Moshe took the dahm, and put it upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach around with his forefinger, and purified the Mizbe’ach, and poured the dahm at the base of the Mizbe’ach, and set it apart as kodesh, to make kapporah for it.

¹⁶ And he took all the chelev (fat) that was upon the innards, and the diaphragm above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their chelev (fat), and Moshe burned it upon the Mizbe’ach.

¹⁷ But the bull, and its hide, its basar, and its dung, he burned with eish outside the machaneh; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

¹⁸ And he brought the ram for the olah (burnt offering); and Aharon and his Banim laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

¹⁹ And he slaughtered (shachat) it; and Moshe sprinkled the dahm upon the Mizbe’ach around.

²⁰ And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moshe burned the head, and the pieces, and the chelev (fat).

²¹ And he washed the innards and the legs in mayim; and Moshe burned the whole ram upon the Mizbe’ach; it was an olah for a re’ach nicho’ach, and an offering made by eish unto Hashem; just as Hashem commanded Moshe.

²² And he brought the other ram, the ram of ordination; and Aharon and his Banim laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

²³ And he slaughtered (shachat) it; and Moshe took of the dahm of it, and put it upon the lobe of Aharon’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the bohen of his right foot.

²⁴ And he brought Aharon’s Banim, and Moshe put of the dahm upon the lobe of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the bohen of their right feet: and Moshe sprinkled the dahm upon the Mizbe’ach around.

²⁵ And he took the chelev (fat), and the tail, and all the chelev (fat) that was upon the innards, and the diaphragm above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their chelev (fat), and the right thigh:

²⁶ And out of the basket of matzot, that was before Hashem, he took one challat matzot, and a loaf of oiled lechem, and one wafer, and put them on the chelavim, and upon the right thigh:

²⁷ And he put all upon Aharon’s hands, and upon the hands of his Banim, and waved them for a tenufah (wave offering) before Hashem.

²⁸ And Moshe took them from off their hands, and burned them on the Mizbe’ach upon the olah (burnt offering); they were ordination offerings for a re’ach nicho’ach; it is an offering made by eish unto Hashem.

²⁹ And Moshe took the breast, and waved it for a tenufah before Hashem: it was Moshe’s share of the ram of ordination; just as Hashem commanded Moshe.

³⁰ And Moshe took of the shemen hamishchah, and of the dahm which was upon the Mizbe’ach, and sprinkled it upon Aharon, and upon his garments, and upon his Banim, and upon the garments of his Banim with him; and he set apart as kodesh Aharon, and his garments, and his Banim, and the garments of his Banim with him.

³¹ And Moshe said unto Aharon and to his Banim, Cook the basar at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed: and there eat it with the lechem that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, Aharon and his Banim shall eat it.

³² And that which remaineth of the basar and of the lechem shall ye burn with eish.

³³ And ye shall not go out of the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed in seven days, until the days of your ordination be at an end: for seven days shall he fill your hand [consecrate you in ordination as kohanim].

³⁴ As he hath done this day, so Hashem hath commanded to do, to make kapporah for you.

³⁵ Therefore shall ye abide at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed yomam valailah seven days and be shomer over the mishmeret (charge) of Hashem, that ye die not: for so I have been commanded.

³⁶ So Aharon and his Banim did all things which Hashem commanded by the hand of Moshe.

9 And it come to pass on yom hashemini, that Moshe called to Aharon and his Banim, and the Ziknei Yisroel;

² And he said unto Aharon, Take thee a young calf for a chattat (sin offering), and a ram for an olah (burnt offering), temimim (without blemish), and offer them before Hashem.

³ And unto the Bnei Yisroel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a sa’ir izzim (male goat) for a chattat (sin offering); and a calf and a keves (lamb), both of the first year, temimim (without blemish), for an olah;

⁴ Also a bull and a ram for shelamim (peace offerings), to sacrifice before Hashem; and a minchah mixed with shemen; for today Hashem will appear unto you.

⁵ And they brought that which Moshe commanded before the Ohel Mo’ed; and kol HaEdah drew near and stood before Hashem.

⁶ And Moshe said, This is the thing which Hashem commanded that ye should do; and the kavod Hashem shall appear unto you.

⁷ And Moshe said unto Aharon, Go unto the Mizbe’ach, and offer thy chattat (sin offering), and thy olah (burnt offering), and make kapporah for thyself, and for the people; and offer the korban of the people, and make kapporah for them; just as Hashem commanded.

⁸ Aharon therefore went unto the Mizbe’ach, and slaughtered (shachat) the calf of the chattat (sin offering), which was for himself.

⁹ And the Bnei Aharon brought the dahm unto him; and he dipped his forefinger in the dahm, and put it upon the horns of the Mizbe’ach, and poured out the dahm at the foundation of the Mizbe’ach;

¹⁰ But the chelev (fat), and the kidneys, and the diaphragm with the liver of the chattat (sin offering), he burned upon the Mizbe’ach; just as Hashem commanded Moshe.

¹¹ And the basar and the hide he burned with eish outside the machaneh.

¹² And he slaughtered (shachat) the olah (burnt offering); and the Bnei Aharon presented unto him the dahm, which he sprinkled around upon the Mizbe’ach.

¹³ And they presented the olah (burnt offering) unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head; and he burned them upon the Mizbe’ach.

¹⁴ And he did wash the innards and the legs, and burned them upon the olah (burnt offering) on the Mizbe’ach.

¹⁵ And he brought the korban HaAm (the offering of the people), and took the goat of the chattat (sin offering) for the people, and slaughtered (shachat) it, and offered it for sin, as before.

¹⁶ And he brought the olah (burnt offering), and offered it in the prescribed way.

¹⁷ And he brought the minchah, and took a handful thereof, and burned it upon the Mizbe’ach, in addition to the olah of the boker.

¹⁸ He slaughtered (shachat) also the bull and the ram for a zevach which was for the people; and the Bnei Aharon presented unto him the dahm, which he sprinkled upon the Mizbe’ach around,

¹⁹ And the chalavim (fat portions) of the bull and of the ram, the tail, and that which covereth the innards, and the kidneys, and the diaphragm above the liver;

²⁰ And they put the chelev (fat) upon the breasts, and he burned the chelev (fat) upon the Mizbe’ach;

²¹ And the breasts and the right thigh Aharon waved for a tenufah (wave offering) before Hashem; just as Moshe commanded.

²² And Aharon lifted up his hand toward the people, and pronounced a barucha upon them, and came down from offering of the chattat (sin offering), and the olah (burnt offering), and shelamim (peace offerings).

²³ And Moshe and Aharon went into the Ohel Mo’ed, and came out, and pronounced a barucha over the people; and the kavod Hashem appeared unto kol HaAm.

²⁴ And there came an eish out from before Hashem, and consumed upon the Mizbe’ach the olah (burnt offering) and the chalavim (fat portions); which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

10 And Nadav and Avihu, the bnei Aharon, each took his censer, and put eish therein, and put ketoret (incense) thereon, and offered eish zarah (strange, unauthorized fire) before Hashem, which He commanded them not.

² And there went out eish (fire) from the presence of Hashem, and devoured them, and they died before Hashem.

³ Then Moshe said unto Aharon, This is it that Hashem spoke, saying, I will show Myself kadosh among them that come near Me, and before kol HaAm (all the People) I will be honored. And Aharon was silent.

⁴ And Moshe called Mishael and Eltzaphan, the bnei Uzziel the dod (uncle) of Aharon, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the Kodesh to the outside of the machaneh.

⁵ So they went near, and carried them in the kuttanot of them out of the machaneh; as Moshe had said.

⁶ And Moshe said unto Aharon, and unto Eleazar and unto Itamar, his banim, Don’t uncover your head, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon kol HaEdah; but let your brethren, the kol Bais Yisroel, bewail the burning which Hashem hath kindled.

⁷ And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed, lest ye die; for the shemen mishchat (anointing oil) of Hashem is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moshe.

⁸ And Hashem spoke unto Aharon, saying,

⁹ Do not drink yayin nor strong drink, thou, nor thy banim with thee, when ye go into the Ohel Mo’ed, lest ye die; it shall be chukkat olam throughout your generations;

¹⁰ And that ye may put difference between kodesh and chol (common, profane), and between tameh (unclean) and tahor (clean);

¹¹ And that ye may teach the Bnei Yisroel all the chukkim which Hashem hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moshe.

¹² And Moshe spoke unto Aharon, and unto Eleazar and unto Itamar, his banim that were left, Take the minchah that remaineth of the offerings of Hashem made by eish, and eat it without leaven (i.e., matzot) beside the Mizbe’ach; for it is kodesh kodashim;

¹³ And ye shall eat it in the makom kadosh, because it is the chok (share, portion) of thee and thy banim, of the sacrifices of Hashem made by eish; for so I am commanded.

¹⁴ And the breast of the waving and raised up thigh shall ye eat in a makom tahor; thou, and thy banim, and thy banot with thee; for they are thy chok, and the chok of thy banim, which are given out of the zevakhim of shelamim (peace offerings) of the Bnei Yisroel.

¹⁵ The raised-up thigh and the breast of the waving shall they bring with the offerings made by eish of the chelavim (fat portions), to wave it for a wave offering before Hashem; and it shall be thine, and unto thy banim with thee, by a chok olam (portion forever); as Hashem hath commanded.

¹⁶ And Moshe diligently inquired about the sa’ir of the chattat, and, hinei, it was burned up; and he was angry with Eleazar and Itamar, the bnei Aharon which were left alive, saying,

¹⁷ Why have ye not eaten the chattat in the makom hakodesh, seeing it is kodesh kodashim, and G-d hath given it you to bear away the avon HaEdah, to make kapporah for them before Hashem?

¹⁸ Since the dahm of it was not brought in within HaKodesh, ye should indeed have eaten it in the Kodesh, as I commanded.

¹⁹ And Aharon said unto Moshe, See, today have they offered their chattat (sin offering) and their olah (burnt offering) before Hashem; and such things have befallen me; and if I had eaten the chattat today, should it have been accepted in the sight of Hashem?

²⁰ And when Moshe heard that, he was satisfied.

11 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and to Aharon, saying unto them,

² Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on ha’aretz.

³ Whatsoever spliteth the hoof, and separateth into double hooves, and cheweth the cud, among the behemah (animals), that shall ye eat.

⁴ Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that separateth the hoof; as the gamal (camel), because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is tamei unto you.

⁵ And the hyrax, because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is tamei unto you.

⁶ And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is temeiah (unclean) unto you.

⁷ And the chazir (swine), though he separate the hoof, and be separated into double hooves, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is tamei to you.

⁸ Of their basar shall ye not eat, and their nevelah shall ye not touch; they are temei’im (unclean ones) to you.

⁹ These shall ye eat of all that are in the mayim; whatsoever hath fins and scales in the mayim, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

¹⁰ And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the mayim, and of any nefesh hachayyah which is in the mayim, they shall be sheketz (abomination, detestable) unto you;

¹¹ They shall be even sheketz unto you; ye shall not eat of their basar, but ye shall have their nevelah in sheketz.

¹² Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the mayim, that shall be sheketz unto you.

¹³ And these are they which ye shall have in sheketz among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are sheketz: the nesher (eagle), and the vulture, and the whitetailed eagle,

¹⁴ And the da’ah (kite), and the black kite after its kind;

¹⁵ Every orev (raven) after its kind;

¹⁶ And the ostrich, and the screech owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

¹⁷ And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

¹⁸ And the white owl, and the pelican, and the osprey,

¹⁹ And the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

²⁰ All fowls that creep, going upon all fours, shall be sheketz unto you.

²¹ Yet these may ye eat of every winged insect that goeth upon all fours, which have jumping legs above their feet, to hop withal upon ha’aretz;

²² Even these of them ye may eat: the arbeh (locust) after its kind, and the katydid after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

²³ But all other winged insects, which have four feet, shall be sheketz unto you.

²⁴ And for these ye shall be temei’im; whosoever toucheth the nevelah of them shall be tamei until erev.

²⁵ And whosoever pick up any of the nevelah of them shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev.

²⁶ Every beast which spliteth the hooves, and is not completely split, nor cheweth the cud, are temei’im unto you; every one that toucheth them shall be tamei.

²⁷ And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all fours, those are temei’im unto you; whosoever toucheth their nevelah shall be tamei until erev.

²⁸ And he that beareth the nevelah of them shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev; they are temei’im unto you.

²⁹ These also shall be tamei unto you among the creeping things that creep upon ha’aretz: the weasel, and the rat, and the great lizard after its kind,

³⁰ And the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the skink, and the lizard, and the chameleon.

³¹ These are temei’im to you among all that creep; whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be tamei until erev.

³² And whatsoever of them, when they are dead, doth fall on something, it shall be tamei; whether it be any vessel of wood, or cloth, or hide, or sackcloth, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any melachah (work) is done, it must be put into mayim, and it shall be tamei until erev; then it shall be tahor (clean).

³³ And every clay vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be tamei; and ye shall break it.

³⁴ Of all okhel which may be eaten, that on which such mayim cometh shall be tamei; and all mashkeh that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be tamei.

³⁵ And everything whereupon any part of their nevelah falleth shall be tamei; whether it be oven, or stove, they shall be broken; for they are temei’im and shall be temei’im unto you.

³⁶ Nevertheless a spring or cistern, wherein there is a mikveh mayim (collection of water) shall be tahor; but that which toucheth their nevelah shall be tamei.

³⁷ And if any part of their nevelah fall upon any zera for sowing which is to be sown, it shall be tahor.

³⁸ But if any mayim be put upon the zera, and any part of their nevelah fall thereon, it shall be tamei unto you.

³⁹ And if any behemah, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the nevelah thereof shall be tamei until erev.

⁴⁰ And he that eateth of the nevelah of it shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev; he also that picketh up the nevelah of it shall wash his clothes, and be tamei until erev.

⁴¹ And every creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz shall be sheketz; it shall not be eaten.

⁴² Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath marbeh raglayim (many feet) among all creeping things that creep upon ha’aretz, them ye shall not eat; for they are sheketz.

⁴³ Ye shall not make your nefashot sheketz with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves tamei with them, that ye should be made tamei thereby.

⁴⁴ For I am Hashem Eloheichem; ye shall therefore set yourselves apart as kodesh, and ye shall be kadoshim; for I am kadosh; neither shall ye make your nefashot tamei with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz.

⁴⁵ For I am Hashem that bringeth you up out of Eretz Mitzrayim, to be for you as Elohim: ye shall therefore be kadoshim, for I am kadosh.

⁴⁶ This is the torah concerning the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the mayim, and of every creature that creepeth upon ha’aretz;

⁴⁷ To make a divide [lehavdil; to make a distinction, separation] between the tamei and the tahor, and between the beast that may be and the beast that may not be eaten.

[TAZRIA-METZORA]

12 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

² Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, If an isha have conceived, and born a zachar, then she shall be temeiah shivat yamim; according to the yamim of the niddah (menstruation separation) for her infirmity shall she be temeiah (unclean).

³ And in the yom hashemini the basar of his arel (uncircumcision, foreskin) shall be circumcised.

⁴ And shloshim yom ushloshet she shall then remain in demei tohorah (blood of her purifying, i.e., period in which she would be unclean); she shall touch no kodesh, nor enter the Mikdash, until the yamei of her tohorah be fulfilled.

⁵ But if she bear a nekevah, then she shall be temeiah two weeks, as in her niddah (separation); and she shall remain in the blood of her tohorah sixty-six days.

⁶ And when the yemei tohorah are fulfilled, for a ben, or for a bat, she shall bring a keves of the first year for an olah, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a chattat (sin offering), unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed unto the kohen;

⁷ Who shall offer it before Hashem, and make kapporah for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her dahm. This is the torah for her that hath born a zachar or a nekevah.

⁸ And if she be not able to afford to bring a seh, then she shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for an olah, and the other for a chattat; and the kohen shall make kapporah for her, and she shall be teherah (clean) [See Lk 2:24 regarding this chapter and on how Moshiach was first brought to the Beis Hamikdash].

13 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and Aharon, saying,

² When a man shall have in the skin of his basar a swelling, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his basar like the nega tzara’at; then he shall be brought unto Aharon the kohen, or unto one of his Banim the kohanim;

³ And the kohen shall examine the nega in the skin of the basar; and when hair in the nega is turned white, and the nega in appearance be deeper than the skin of his basar, it is a nega tzara’at; and the kohen shall examine him, and pronounce him tamei.

⁴ If the bright spot be white in the skin of his basar, and in appearance be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the kohen shall quarantine him that hath the nega shivat yamim;

⁵ And the kohen shall examine him on the yom hashevi’i; and, hinei, if the nega in his sight be unchanged, and the nega spread not in the skin; then the kohen shall quarantine him another shivat yamim;

⁶ And the kohen shall examine him again on the yom hashevi’i; and, hinei, if the nega be somewhat faded, and the nega spread not in the skin, the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; it is but a scab; and he shall wash his clothes, and be tahor.

⁷ But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown himself to the kohen for his tohorah, he shall appear before the kohen again.

⁸ And if the kohen see that, hinei, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a tzara’at.

⁹ When the nega tzara’at is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the kohen;

¹⁰ And the kohen shall examine him; and, hinei, if the swelling be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be raw basar in the swelling;

¹¹ It is an old tzara’at in the skin of his basar, and the kohen shall pronounce him tamei, and shall not quarantine him; for he is tamei.

¹² And if a tzara’at break out abroad in the skin, and the tzara’at cover all the skin of him that hath the nega from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the kohen looketh,

¹³ Then the kohen shall consider; and, hinei, if the tzara’at have covered all his basar, he shall pronounce him tahor that hath the nega; it is all turned white; he is tahor.

¹⁴ But on the day when raw basar appeareth in him, he shall be tamei.

¹⁵ And the kohen shall see the raw basar, and pronounce him to be tamei; for the raw basar is tamei; it is a tzara’at.

¹⁶ Or if the raw basar turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the kohen;

¹⁷ And the kohen shall see him; and, hinei, if the nega be turned into white, then the kohen shall pronounce him tahor that hath the nega; he is tahor.

¹⁸ The basar also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

¹⁹ And in the place of the boil there be a white swelling, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shown to the kohen;

²⁰ And if, when the kohen examine it, hinei, it be in appearance deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a nega tzara’at broken out of the boil.

²¹ But if the kohen examine it, and, hinei, there be no white hair therein, and if it be not deeper than the skin, but be somewhat faded, then the kohen shall quarantine him shivat yamim;

²² And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a nega.

²³ But if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor.

²⁴ Or if there be any basar, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the raw basar that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white,

²⁵ Then the kohen shall examine it; and, hinei, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in appearance deeper than the skin, it is a tzara’at broken out of the burning; therefore the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is the nega tzara’at.

²⁶ But if the kohen examine it, and, hinei, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no deeper than the other skin, but be dim, then the kohen shall quarantine him shivat yamim;

²⁷ And the kohen shall examine him on the yom hashevi’i; and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is the nega tzara’at.

²⁸ And if the bright spot stay in its place, and spread not in the skin, but it be dim, it is a swelling of the burn, and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; for it is an inflammation of the burning.

²⁹ If an ish or isha have a nega upon the head or the chin,

³⁰ Then the kohen shall examine the nega, and, hinei, if it be in appearance deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair, then the kohen shall pronounce him tamei; it is a scale, even a tzara’at upon the head or chin.

³¹ And if the kohen examine the nega of the scale, and, hinei, it be not in appearance deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it, then the kohen shall quarantine him that hath the nega of the scale shivat yamim;

³² And in the yom hashevi’i the kohen shall examine the nega; and, hinei, if the scale spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scale be not in appearance deeper than the skin,

³³ He shall be shaven, but the scale shall he not shave; and the kohen shall quarantine him that hath the scale another shivat yamim;

³⁴ And in the yom hashevi’i the kohen shall examine the scale; and, hinei, if the scale be not spread in the skin, nor be in appearance deeper than the skin, then the kohen shall pronounce him tahor; and he shall wash his clothes, and be tahor.

³⁵ But if the scale spread much in the skin after his tohorah,

³⁶ Then the kohen shall examine him; and, hinei, if the scale be spread in the skin, the kohen need not seek for yellow hair; he is tamei.

³⁷ But if the scale be in his sight unchanged, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scale is healed, he is tahor; and the kohen shall pronounce him tahor.

³⁸ If an ish also or an isha have in the skin of their basar bright spots, even white bright spots,

³⁹ Then the kohen shall examine; and, hinei, if the bright spots in the skin of their basar be faint white, it is a bohak spot that groweth in the skin; he is tahor.

⁴⁰ And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he tahor.

⁴¹ And he that hath his hair fallen off from the front of his scalp, he is bald at the forehead; yet is he tahor.

⁴² And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish nega, it is a tzara’at breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

⁴³ Then the kohen shall examine it; and, hinei, if the swelling of the nega be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the tzara’at appeareth in the skin of the basar,

⁴⁴ He is an ish tzaru’a, he is tamei; the kohen shall pronounce him utterly tamei; his nega is in his head.

⁴⁵ And the tzaru’a in whom the nega is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his lower face, and shall cry, Tamei! Tamei!

⁴⁶ All the days wherein the nega shall be in him he shall be tamei; he is tamei; he shall live alone; outside the machaneh shall his moshav be.

⁴⁷ When a garment has the nega tzara’at in it, whether it be a wool garment, or a linen garment;

⁴⁸ Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather;

⁴⁹ And if the nega be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of leather, it is a nega tzara’at, and shall be shown unto the kohen;

⁵⁰ And the kohen shall examine the nega, and quarantine it that hath the nega shivat yamim;

⁵¹ And he shall examine the nega on the yom hashevi’i; if the nega be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a leather, or in any work that is made of leather, the nega is a malignant tzara’at; it is tamei.

⁵² He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or any thing of leather, wherein the nega is; for it is a malignant tzara’at; it shall be burned in the eish.

⁵³ And if the kohen shall examine, and, hinei, the nega be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of leather,

⁵⁴ Then the kohen shall command that they wash the thing wherein the nega is, and he shall quarantine it another shivat yamim;

⁵⁵ And the kohen shall examine the nega, after that it is washed; and, hinei, if the nega has not changed its appearance, and the nega be not spread, it is tamei; thou shalt burn it in the eish; whether the eating away hath brought bareness in the front or back.

⁵⁶ And if the kohen examine, and, hinei, the nega be somewhat faded after the washing of it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the leather, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

⁵⁷ And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of leather, it is a spreading nega; thou shalt burn that wherein the nega is with eish.

⁵⁸ And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of leather it be, which thou shalt wash, if the nega be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be tahor.

⁵⁹ This is the torah of the nega tzara’at in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of leather, to pronounce it tahor, or to pronounce it tamei.

[METZORA]

14 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

² This shall be the torat hametzora in the yom of his tohorah: he shall be brought unto the kohen;

³ And the kohen shall go forth outside the machaneh; and the kohen shall examine, and, hinei, if the nega tzara’at be healed in the afflicted person,

⁴ Then shall the kohen command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and tehorot (clean ones), and cedar wood, and scarlet thread, and hyssop;

⁵ And the kohen shall command that one of the birds be shachat in a clay vessel over mayim chayyim (running water);

⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet thread, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the dahm of the bird that was killed (shachat) over the mayim chayyim (running water);

⁷ And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be made tahor from the tzara’at seven times, and shall pronounce him tahor, and shall release the living bird into the open field.

⁸ And he that is to be made tahor shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in mayim, that he may be tahor; and after that he shall come into the machaneh, and shall wait outside of his ohel seven days.

⁹ But it shall be on the yom hashevi’i, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his basar in mayim, and he shall be tahor.

¹⁰ And on the yom hashemini he shall take two kevasim temimim and one ewe lamb of the first year temimah, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a minchah, mixed with shemen, and one log of shemen.

¹¹ And the kohen who purifies shall present the ish that is to be made tahor, and those things, before Hashem, at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed;

¹² And the kohen shall take one keves (lamb), and sacrifice him for an asham (trespass offering), and the log of shemen, and wave them for a tenufah (wave offering) before Hashem;

¹³ And he shall slaughter (shachat) the keves in the place where he shall slaughter (shachat) the chattat (sin offering) and the olah (burnt offering), in the mekom hakodesh; for as the chattat (sin offering) belongs to the kohen, so does the asham (trespass offering); it is kodesh kodashim;

¹⁴ And the kohen shall take some of the dahm of the asham (trespass offering), and the kohen shall put it upon the lobe of the right ear of him that is to be made tahor, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the bohen of his right foot;

¹⁵ And the kohen shall take some of the log of shemen, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand;

¹⁶ And the kohen shall dip his right forefinger in the shemen that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the shemen with his forefinger seven times before Hashem;

¹⁷ And of the rest of the shemen that is in his hand shall the kohen put upon the lobe of the right ear of him that is to be made tahor, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the bohen of his right foot, upon the dahm of the asham (trespass offering);

¹⁸ And the remnant of the shemen that is in the kohen’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be made tahor; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him before Hashem.

¹⁹ And the kohen shall offer the chattat (sin offering), and make kapporah for him that is to be made tahor from his tumah (uncleanness); and afterward he shall slaughter (shachat) the olah (burnt offering);

²⁰ And the kohen shall offer the olah (burnt offering) and the minchah upon the Mizbe’ach; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him, and he shall be tahor.

²¹ And if he be poor, and cannot afford otherwise, then he shall take one keves for an asham (trespass offering) to be waved, to make kapporah for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with shemen for a minchah, and a log of shemen;

²² And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a chattat (sin offering), and the other an olah (burnt offering).

²³ And he shall bring them on the yom hashemini for his tohorah unto the kohen, unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed before Hashem.

²⁴ And the kohen shall take the keves (lamb) of the asham (trespass offering), and the log of shemen, and the kohen shall wave them for a tenufah (wave offering) before Hashem;

²⁵ And he shall slaughter (shachat) the keves of the asham (trespass offering), and the kohen shall take some of the dahm of the asham (trespass offering), and put it upon the lobe of the right ear of him that is to be made tahor, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the bohen of his right foot;

²⁶ And the kohen shall pour of the shemen into the palm of his own left hand;

²⁷ And the kohen shall sprinkle with his right forefinger some of the shemen that is in his left hand seven times before Hashem;

²⁸ And the kohen shall put of the shemen that is in his hand upon the lobe of the right ear of him that is to made tahor, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the bohen of his right foot, upon the mekom (place) of the dahm of the asham (trespass offering);

²⁹ And the rest of the shemen that is in the kohen’s hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be made tahor, to make kapporah for him before Hashem.

³⁰ And he shall sacrifice the one of the torim (turtledoves), or of the young pigeons, such as he can afford;

³¹ Even such as he is able to afford, the one for a chattat (sin offering), and the other for an olah, with the minchah; and the kohen shall make kapporah for him that is to be made tahor before Hashem.

³² This is the torah of him in whom is the nega tzara’at, who cannot afford that which pertaineth to his tohorah (cleansing).
