Leviticus 15:1-33
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to
Aaron, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a
running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3 And
this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his
flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed, whereon he
lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be
unclean. 5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even. 6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he
sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean until the even. 7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 8 And
if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9 And what saddle soever he
rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that
was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those
things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even. 11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in
water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
the even. 12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be
broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And when he that hath an
issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his
cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and
come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them
unto the priest: 15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him
before the LORD for his issue. 16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him,
then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17 And every
garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water,
and be unclean until the even. 18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed
of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean
until the even.
19 And if a woman have an issue, and her
issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her
shall be unclean until the even. 20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation
shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21 And
whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and
be unclean until the even. 22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23 And
if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth
it, he shall be unclean until the even. 24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her
flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth
shall be unclean. 25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time
of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the
issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of
her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of
her separation. 27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28 But if
she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that
she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two
young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. 30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before
the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness. 31 Thus shall ye separate the children of
Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my
tabernacle that is among them. 32 This is the law of him that hath an issue,
and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; 33 And of her that
is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and
of him that lieth with her that is unclean. (KJV)

Leviticus 16:1-34
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the
death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; 2 And the
LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the
holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark;
that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. 3 Thus shall Aaron
come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a
burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen
breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre
shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in
water, and so put them on.
5 And he shall take of the congregation of
the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt
offering. 6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. 7 And he shall take the two
goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and
the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S
lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. 10 But the goat, on which the lot fell
to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with
him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. 11 And Aaron shall
bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an
atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering
which is for himself: 12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire
from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and
bring it within the vail: 13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the
LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the
testimony, that he die not: 14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle
it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he
sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin
offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with
that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat,
and before the mercy seat: 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place,
because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions
in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that
remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 And there shall be no man in
the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place,
until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for
all the congregation of Israel. 18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before
the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of
the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. 19 And
he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and
hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 And when he hath made an end of
reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar,
he shall bring the live goat: 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the
live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all
their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall
send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: 22 And the goat shall
bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat
in the wilderness. 23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and
shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place,
and shall leave them there: 24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place,
and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt
offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. 25 And the
fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. 26 And he that let go the goat for
the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come
into the camp. 27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the
sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall
one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and
their flesh, and their dung. 28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe
his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
29 And this shall be a statute for
ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye
shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own
country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: 30 For on that day shall the priest make
an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins
before the LORD. 31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict
your souls, by a statute for ever. 32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he
shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the
atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: 33 And he
shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the
tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the
priests, and for all the people of the congregation. 34 And this shall be an everlasting
statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once
a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. (KJV)
17
Leviticus 17:1-16
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto
them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying, 3 What man soever there
be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that
killeth it out of the camp, 4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD;
blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off
from among his people: 5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their
sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the
LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them
for peace offerings unto the LORD. 6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon
the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn
the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices
unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto
them throughout their generations. 8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there
be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth
a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his
people.
10 And whatsoever man there be of
the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of
blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off
from among his people.
11 For the life of the
flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul. |
12 Therefore I said unto
the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that
sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast
or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with
dust. 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner
of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall
be cut off. 15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which
was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he
shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even: then shall he be clean. 16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then
he shall bear his iniquity. (KJV)
18
Leviticus 18:1-30
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. 3 After the
doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of
the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their
ordinances. 4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am
the LORD your God. 5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a
man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 None of you shall approach to any that
is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7 The
nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is
thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of thy father's wife
shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 9 The nakedness of thy
sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born
at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 10 The
nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their
nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. 11 The
nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy
sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. 13 Thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 14
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to
his wife: she is thine aunt. 15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's
nakedness. 17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither
shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for
they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18 Neither shalt thou
take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other
in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a
woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20
Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with
her. 21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech,
neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 22 Thou shalt not
lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie
with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast
to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these
things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25 And the
land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself
vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and
shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation,
nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27 (For all these abominations have the men of
the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28 That the land
spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before
you. 29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them
shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance,
that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed
before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
(KJV)
19
Leviticus 19:1-37
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be
holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. 3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and
his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 4 Turn ye not unto idols,
nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. 5 And if ye offer a
sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 6 It shall
be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third
day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is
abominable; it shall not be accepted. 8 Therefore every one that eateth it
shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that
soul shall be cut off from among his people. 9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
gleanings of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou
gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and
stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal
falsely, neither lie one to another. 12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither
shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 13 Thou shalt not defraud
thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with
thee all night until the morning. 14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a
stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. 15 Ye shall
do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor
honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy
neighbour. 16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people:
neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD. 17 Thou
shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour,
and not suffer sin upon him. 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the
children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the
LORD.
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt
not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled
seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. 20 And
whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband,
and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be
put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto
the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a
trespass offering. 22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he
hath done shall be forgiven him. 23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have
planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as
uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten
of. 24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the
increase thereof: I am the LORD your God. 26 Ye shall not eat any thing with
the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 27 Ye shall not round the
corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28 Ye shall not
make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the
LORD. 29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to
whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 31 Regard not them that have familiar
spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear
thy God: I am the LORD. 33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye
shall not vex him. 34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as
one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land
of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in
meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a
just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land
of Egypt. 37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them: I am the LORD. (KJV)
20
Leviticus 20:1-27
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed
unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with
stones. 3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his
people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to
profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the
man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: 5 Then I will set my face
against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring
after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. 6 And the soul that
turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after
them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his
people. 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your
God. 8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify
you. 9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death:
he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 And the man that committeth adultery
with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his
neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And
the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of
them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12 And if a man
lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought
confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he
lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put
to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14 And if a man take a wife and her
mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that
there be no wickedness among you. 15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put
to death: and ye shall slay the beast. 16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie
down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them. 17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's
daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is
a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath
uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie
with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her
fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut
off from among their people. 19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their
iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's
nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take
his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's
nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all my
statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell
therein, spue you not out. 23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I
cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to
possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which
have separated you from other people. 25 Ye shall therefore put difference between
clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your
souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on
the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26 And ye shall be holy unto me:
for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye
should be mine. 27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard,
shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon
them. (KJV)
21
Leviticus 21:1-24
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto
the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead
among his people: 2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his
mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 3
And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may
he be defiled. 4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among
his people, to profane himself. 5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither
shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6
They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the
offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer:
therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or
profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy
unto his God. 8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God:
he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy. 9 And the
daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her
father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10 And he that is the high priest
among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated
to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 11 Neither shall
he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 12
Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the
crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. 13 And he
shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an
harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15
Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that
hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For
whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a
lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 19 Or a man that is
brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his
eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 21 No man that hath a blemish of
the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by
fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. 22 He shall
eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23 Only he shall
not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he
profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them. 24 And Moses told it unto
Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel. (KJV)

Leviticus 22:1-33
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of
the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which
they hallow unto me: I am the LORD. 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all
your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of
Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off
from my presence: I am the LORD. 4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a
leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean.
And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose
seed goeth from him; 5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made
unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6 The
soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the
holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be
clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 8 That
which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself
therewith: I am the LORD. 9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they
bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the
holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the
holy thing. 11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it,
and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. 12 If the priest's daughter
also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is
returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but
there shall no stranger eat thereof. 14 And if a man eat of the holy thing
unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it
unto the priest with the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of
the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD; 16 Or suffer them to bear the
iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto
them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that
will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they
will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; 19 Ye shall offer at your own will a
male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But whatsoever
hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21
And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow,
or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall
be no blemish therein. 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or
scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon
the altar unto the LORD. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or
lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow
it shall not be accepted. 24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or
crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your
land. 25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of
these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them:
they shall not be accepted for you. 26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 27 When a
bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the
dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by
fire unto the LORD. 28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her
young both in one day. 29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the
LORD, offer it at your own will. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall
leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD. 31 Therefore shall ye keep my
commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name;
but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow
you, 33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
(KJV)

Leviticus 23:1-44
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the
LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my
feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of the LORD,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the
fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover. 6 And on
the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD:
seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8 But ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall
do no servile work therein. 9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto
the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto
you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of
your harvest unto the priest: 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be
accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And ye
shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year
for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two
tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a
sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of
an hin. 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the
selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute
for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the
morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering;
seven sabbaths shall be complete: 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall
ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. 17 Ye shall
bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine
flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD. 18
And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one
young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with
their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of
sweet savour unto the LORD. 19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin
offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20 And the
priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before
the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21 And ye
shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye
shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your
dwellings throughout your generations. 22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou
shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt
thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the
stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of
the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy
convocation. 25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD. 26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 27 Also on the tenth
day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an
holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD. 28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of
atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29 For whatsoever soul it
be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his
people. 30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same
soul will I destroy from among his people. 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall
be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall
be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of
the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall
be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. 35 On the first day shall
be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 36 Seven days ye
shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a
solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. 37 These are the
feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice,
and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: 38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and
beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which
ye give unto the LORD. 39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the
first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. 40
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees,
and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the
LORD your God seven days. 41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the
year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in
the seventh month. 42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born
shall dwell in booths: 43 That your generations may know that I made the children of
Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the
LORD your God. 44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
(KJV)

Leviticus 24:1-23
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the
light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning
before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. 4
He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. 5 And thou
shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one
cake. 6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the
LORD. 7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the
bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 8 Every sabbath
he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children
of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they
shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of
the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman,
whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son
of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11 And
the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they
brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of
Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) 12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might
be shewed them. 13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 14 Bring forth him that hath
cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head,
and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16 And he that blasphemeth
the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation
shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he
blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death. 17 And he that killeth any
man shall surely be put to death. 18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast
for beast. 19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it
be done to him; 20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a
blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. 21 And he that killeth a beast,
he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. 22 Ye shall have
one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the
LORD your God. 23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth
him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel
did as the LORD commanded Moses. (KJV)
25
Leviticus 25:1-55
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount
Sinai, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into
the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. 3 Six years
thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the
fruit thereof; 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a
sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. 5 That
which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the
grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land. 6 And the
sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy
maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, 7 And for
thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof
be meat.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of
years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years
shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile
to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye
make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year,
and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it
shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye
shall return every man unto his family. 11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you:
ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the
grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy
unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13 In the year of this
jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. 14 And if thou sell ought unto thy
neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one
another: 15 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy
neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto
thee: 16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and
according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to
the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 17 Ye shall not
therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your
God. 18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye
shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat
your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the
seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: 21 Then I will command
my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22
And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year;
until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
23 The land shall not be sold for ever:
for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in
all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If thy
brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his
kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. 26 And if the man
have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; 27 Then let him count the years
of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may
return unto his possession. 28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then
that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of
jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. 29 And
if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year
after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 30 And if it be not redeemed
within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be
established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out
in the jubile. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall
be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in
the jubile. 32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the
cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchase
of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out
in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their
possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities
may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 35 And if thy brother be
waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he
be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36 Take thou no usury of
him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not
give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 38 I am the
LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of
Canaan, and to be your God.
39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by
thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a
bondservant: 40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be
with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile: 41 And then shall
he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his
own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42 For they are my
servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as
bondmen. 43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 44 Both thy
bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are
round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Moreover of the children
of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families
that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your
possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your
brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. 47 And if
a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax
poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of
the stranger's family: 48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his
brethren may redeem him: 49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any
that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may
redeem himself. 50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was
sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the
number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. 51 If there
be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of
his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 52 And if there remain but few
years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his
years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53 And as a yearly hired
servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in
thy sight. 54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the
year of jubile, both he, and his children with him. 55 For unto me the children of
Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the
land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. (KJV)
26
Leviticus 26:1-46
1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven
image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of
stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. 2 Ye shall
keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 3 If ye walk in my
statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due
season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield
their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall
reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your
land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall
make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the
sword go through your land. 7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before
you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall
put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 For I
will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my
covenant with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the
new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I
will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 13 I am the
LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be
their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and
will not do all these commandments; 15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your
soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye
break my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart:
and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my
face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall
reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for
all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I
will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as
brass: 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her
increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21 And if ye walk
contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon
you according to your sins. 22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you
of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways
shall be desolate. 23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me; 24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet
seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the
quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I
will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread
in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall
eat, and not be satisfied. 27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk
contrary unto me; 28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will
chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and
the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut
down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul
shall abhor you. 31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32 And I will bring the
land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33
And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your
land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths,
as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then
shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall
rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36 And upon them
that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands
of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as
fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37 And they shall fall one
upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to
stand before your enemies. 38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your
enemies shall eat you up. 39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their
iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they
pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me,
and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41 And that I also have walked
contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their
uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also
my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also
shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without
them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because
they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 And yet for
all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither
will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am
the LORD their God. 45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their
ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that
I might be their God: I am the LORD. 46 These are the statutes and judgments
and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the
hand of Moses. (KJV)
27
Leviticus 27:1-34
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular
vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. 3 And thy estimation
shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation
shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And if it be a
female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if it be from five years
old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels,
and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if it be from a month old even unto five
years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the
female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. 7 And if it be from
sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen
shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then
he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to
his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. 9 And if it be a beast, whereof
men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD
shall be holy. 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a
good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof
shall be holy. 11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a
sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest: 12 And the
priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the
priest, so shall it be. 13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part
thereof unto thy estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house
to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or
bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. 15 And if he that sanctified it
will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy
estimation unto it, and it shall be his. 16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some
part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed
thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If
he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him
the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it
shall be abated from thy estimation. 19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any
wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation
unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he
have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 21 But the field,
when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the
possession thereof shall be the priest's. 22 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a
field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; 23 Then
the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of
the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto
the LORD. 24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was
bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. 25 And
all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall
be the shekel.
26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which
should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or
sheep: it is the LORD'S. 27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall
redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it
thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. 28
Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he
hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or
redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. 29 None devoted, which
shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. 30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the
fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. 31 And if a man
will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever
passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. 33 He shall not search
whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then
both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. 34 These are the
commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
