³³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴ `When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house [in] the land of your possession;

³⁵ then hath he whose the house [is] come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house;

³⁶ and the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all which [is] in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth the priest come in to see the house;

³⁷ and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague [is] in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance [is] lower than the wall,

³⁸ and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ `And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place;

⁴¹ and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

⁴² and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

⁴³ `And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing;

⁴⁴ then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.

⁴⁵ `And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought [them] forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.

⁴⁶ `And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

⁴⁷ and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

⁴⁸ `And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

⁴⁹ `And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

⁵¹ and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

⁵² `And he hath cleansed the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

⁵³ and he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement for the house, and it hath been clean.

⁵⁴ `This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scall,

⁵⁵ and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

⁵⁶ and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, --

⁵⁷ to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.'

15 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye have said unto them, When there is an issue out of the flesh of any man, [for] his issue he [is] unclean;

³ and this is his uncleanness in his issue -- his flesh hath run with his issue, or his flesh hath stopped from his issue; it [is] his uncleanness.

⁴ `All the bed on which he lieth who hath the issue is unclean, and all the vessel on which he sitteth is unclean;

⁵ and any one who cometh against his bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

⁶ `And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sitteth who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

⁷ `And he who is coming against the flesh of him who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean till the evening.

⁸ `And when he who hath the issue spitteth on him who is clean, then he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

⁹ `And all the saddle on which he rideth who hath the issue is unclean;

¹⁰ and any one who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean till the evening, and he who is bearing them doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹¹ `And anyone against whom he cometh who hath the issue (and his hands hath not rinsed with water) hath even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹² `And the earthen vessel which he who hath the issue cometh against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with water.

¹³ `And when he who hath the issue is clean from his issue, then he hath numbered to himself seven days for his cleansing, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with running water, and been clean.

¹⁴ `And on the eighth day he taketh to himself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath come in before Jehovah unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath given them unto the priest;

¹⁵ and the priest hath made them, one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering; and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah, because of his issue.

¹⁶ `And when a man's seed of copulation goeth out from him, then he hath bathed with water all his flesh, and been unclean till the evening.

¹⁷ `And any garment, or any skin on which there is seed of copulation, hath also been washed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹⁸ `And a woman with whom a man lieth with seed of copulation, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹⁹ `And when a woman hath an issue -- blood is her issue in her flesh -- seven days she is in her separation, and any one who is coming against her is unclean till the evening.

²⁰ `And anything on which she lieth in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sitteth is unclean;

²¹ and any one who is coming against her bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

²² `And any one who is coming against any vessel on which she sitteth doth wash his garments, and hath washed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

²³ `And if it [is] on the bed, or on the vessel on which she is sitting, in his coming against it, he is unclean till the evening.

²⁴ `And if a man really lie with her, and her separation is on him, then he hath been unclean seven days, and all the bed on which he lieth is unclean.

²⁵ `And when a woman's issue of blood floweth many days within the time of her separation, or when it floweth over her separation -- all the days of the issue of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she [is] unclean.

²⁶ `All the bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue is as the bed of her separation to her, and all the vessel on which she sitteth is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation;

²⁷ and any one who is coming against them is unclean, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

²⁸ `And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean;

²⁹ and on the eighth day she taketh to herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath brought them in unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting;

³⁰ and the priest hath made the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for her before Jehovah, because of the issue of her uncleanness.

³¹ `And ye have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they die not in their uncleanness, in their defiling My tabernacle which [is] in their midst.

³² `This [is] the law of him who hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, for uncleanness thereby,

³³ and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who hath an issue, the issue of a male or of a female, and of a man who lieth with an unclean woman.'

16 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before Jehovah, and they die;

² yea, Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto Aaron thy brother, and he cometh not in at all times unto the sanctuary within the vail, unto the front of the mercy-seat, which [is] upon the ark, and he dieth not, for in a cloud I am seen upon the mercy-seat.

³ `With this doth Aaron come in unto the sanctuary; with a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering;

⁴ a holy linen coat he putteth on, and linen trousers are on his flesh, and with a linen girdle he girdeth himself, and with a linen mitre he wrappeth himself up; they [are] holy garments; and he hath bathed with water his flesh, and hath put them on.

⁵ `And from the company of the sons of Israel he taketh two kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering;

⁶ and Aaron hath brought near the bullock of the sin-offering which is his own, and hath made atonement for himself, and for his house;

⁷ and he hath taken the two goats, and hath caused them to stand before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting.

⁸ `And Aaron hath given lots over the two goats, one lot for Jehovah, and one lot for a goat of departure;

⁹ and Aaron hath brought near the goat on which the lot for Jehovah hath gone up, and hath made it a sin-offering.

¹⁰ `And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure hath gone up is caused to stand living before Jehovah to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness.

¹¹ `And Aaron hath brought near the bullock of the sin-offering which is his own, and hath made atonement for himself, and for his house, and hath slaughtered the bullock of the sin-offering which [is] his own,

¹² and hath taken the fulness of the censer of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before Jehovah, and the fulness of his hands of thin spice-perfume, and hath brought [it] within the vail;

¹³ and he hath put the perfume on the fire before Jehovah, and the cloud of the perfume hath covered the mercy-seat which [is] on the testimony, and he dieth not.

¹⁴ `And he hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and hath sprinkled with his finger on the front of the mercy-seat eastward; even at the front of the mercy-seat he doth sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.

¹⁵ `And he hath slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which [is] the people's, and hath brought in its blood unto the inside of the vail, and hath done with its blood as he hath done with the blood of the bullock, and hath sprinkled it on the mercy-seat, and at the front of the mercy-seat,

¹⁶ and he hath made atonement for the sanctuary because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he doth for the tent of meeting which is tabernacling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

¹⁷ `And no man is in the tent of meeting in his going in to make atonement in the sanctuary, till his coming out; and he hath made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.

¹⁸ `And he hath gone out unto the altar which [is] before Jehovah, and hath made atonement for it; and he hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and hath put on the horns of the altar round about;

¹⁹ and he hath sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and hath cleansed it, and hath hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

²⁰ `And he hath ceased from making atonement [for] the sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, and hath brought near the living goat;

²¹ and Aaron hath laid his two hands on the head of the living goat, and hath confessed over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and hath put them on the head of the goat, and hath sent [it] away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness;

²² and the goat hath borne on him all their iniquities unto a land of separation. `And he hath sent the goat away into the wilderness,

²³ and Aaron hath come in unto the tent of meeting, and hath stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going in unto the sanctuary, and hath placed them there;

²⁴ and he hath bathed his flesh with water in the holy place, and hath put on his garments, and hath come out, and hath made his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and hath made atonement for himself and for the people;

²⁵ and with the fat of the sin-offering he doth make perfume on the altar.

²⁶ `And he who is sending away the goat for a goat of departure doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp.

²⁷ `And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood hath been brought in to make atonement in the sanctuary, doth [one] bring out unto the outside of the camp, and they have burnt with fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung;

²⁸ and he who is burning them doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp.

²⁹ `And it hath been to you for a statute age-during, in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month, ye humble yourselves, and do no work -- the native, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;

³⁰ for on this day he maketh atonement for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins before Jehovah ye are clean;

³¹ it [is] to you a sabbath of rest, and ye have humbled yourselves -- a statute age-during.

³² `And the priest whom he doth anoint, and whose hand he doth consecrate to act as priest instead of his father, hath made atonement, and hath put on the linen garments, the holy garments;

³³ and he hath made atonement [for] the holy sanctuary; and [for] the tent of meeting, even [for] the altar he doth make atonement; yea, for the priests, and for all the people of the assembly he maketh atonement.

³⁴ `And this hath been to you for a statute age-during, to make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their sins, once in a year;' and he doth as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel; and thou hast said unto them, This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

³ Any man of the house of Israel who slaughtereth ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who slaughtereth at the outside of the camp,

⁴ and unto the opening of the tent of meeting hath not brought it in to bring near an offering to Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood is reckoned to that man -- blood he hath shed -- and that man hath been cut off from the midst of his people;

⁵ so that the sons of Israel do bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, yea, they have brought them in to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah with them.

⁶ `And the priest hath sprinkled the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath made perfume with the fat for sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

⁷ and they sacrifice not any more their sacrifices to goats after which they are going a-whoring; a statute age-during is this to them, to their generations.

⁸ `And unto them thou sayest: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who sojourneth in your midst, who causeth burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,

⁹ and unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring it in to make it to Jehovah -- that man hath been cut off from his people.

¹⁰ `And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;

¹¹ for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which maketh atonement for the soul.

¹² `Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not eat blood;

¹³ and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten -- hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered it with dust;

¹⁴ for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.

¹⁵ `And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners -- hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening -- then he hath been clean;

¹⁶ and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not -- then he hath borne his iniquity.'

18 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God;

³ according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.

⁴ `My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God;

⁵ and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah.

⁶ `None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I [am] Jehovah.

⁷ `The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she [is] thy mother; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

⁸ `The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it [is] the nakedness of thy father.

⁹ `The nakedness of thy sister, daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without; thou dost not uncover their nakedness.

¹⁰ `The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [is] thy nakedness.

¹¹ `The nakedness of a daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

¹² `The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not uncover; she [is] a relation of thy father.

¹³ `The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not uncover; for she [is] thy mother's relation.

¹⁴ `The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she [is] thine aunt.

¹⁵ `The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover; she [is] thy son's wife; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

¹⁶ `The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not uncover; it [is] thy brother's nakedness.

¹⁷ `The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; it [is] wickedness.

¹⁸ `And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.

¹⁹ `And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness.

²⁰ `And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her.

²¹ `And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

²² `And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is].

²³ `And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it; confusion it [is].

²⁴ `Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

²⁵ and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:

²⁶ and ye -- ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is defiled),

²⁸ and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] before you;

²⁹ for any one who doth [any] of all these abominations -- even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from the midst of their people;

³⁰ and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.'

19 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah, your God.

³ `Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁴ `Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁵ `And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;

⁶ in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,

⁷ and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

⁸ and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.

⁹ `And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather,

¹⁰ and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I [am] Jehovah your God.

¹¹ `Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.

¹² `And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

¹³ `Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.

¹⁴ `Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁵ `Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.

¹⁶ `Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁷ `Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.

¹⁸ `Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁹ `My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up upon thee.

²⁰ `And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.

²¹ `And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,

²² and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.

²³ `And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,

²⁴ and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy -- praises for Jehovah.

²⁵ And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit -- to add to you its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God.

²⁶ `Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.

²⁷ `Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.

²⁸ `And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.

²⁹ `Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.

³⁰ `My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

³¹ `Ye do not turn unto those having familiar spirits; and unto wizards ye do not seek, for uncleanness by them; I [am] Jehovah your God.

³² `At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

³³ `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress him;

³⁴ as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I [am] Jehovah your God.

³⁵ `Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;

³⁶ righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

³⁷ and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah.'

20 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;

³ and I -- I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute My holy name.

⁴ `And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,

⁵ then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.

⁶ `And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

⁷ `And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] Jehovah your God;

⁸ and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you.

⁹ `For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood [is] on him.

¹⁰ `And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife -- who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour -- the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.

¹¹ `And a man who lieth with his father's wife -- the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered -- both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.

¹² `And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law -- both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood [is] on them.

¹³ `And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.

¹⁴ `And a man who taketh the woman and her mother -- it [is] wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.

¹⁵ `And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.

¹⁶ `And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it -- thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.

¹⁷ `And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.

¹⁸ `And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, -- even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.

¹⁹ `And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.

²⁰ `And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.

²¹ `And a man who taketh his brother's wife -- it [is] impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.

²² `And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;

²³ and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;

²⁴ and I say to you, Ye -- ye do possess their ground, and I -- I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.

²⁵ `And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth [on] the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;

²⁶ and ye have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.

²⁷ `And a man or woman -- when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who [are] wizards -- are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood [is] on them.'

21 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a priest] is not defiled among his people,

² except for his relation who [is] near unto him -- for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.

³ and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.

⁴ `A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people -- to pollute himself;

⁵ they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;

⁶ they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.

⁷ `A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is] holy to his God;

⁸ and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.

⁹ `And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by going a-whoring -- her father she is polluting; with fire she is burnt.

¹⁰ `And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,

¹¹ nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;

¹² nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] Jehovah.

¹³ `And he taketh a wife in her virginity;

¹⁴ widow, or cast out, or polluted one -- a harlot -- these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take [for] a wife,

¹⁵ and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.'

¹⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷ `Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,

¹⁸ for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near -- a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

¹⁹ or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

²⁰ or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

²¹ `No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

²² `Bread of his God -- of the most holy things, and of the holy things -- he doth eat;

²³ only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

²⁴ And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.

22 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] Jehovah.

³ `Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him -- even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I [am] Jehovah.

⁴ `Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue -- of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,

⁵ or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness --

⁶ the person who cometh against it -- hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,

⁷ and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it [is] his food;

⁸ a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I [am] Jehovah.

⁹ `And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I [am] Jehovah sanctifying them.

¹⁰ `And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;

¹¹ and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.

¹² `And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, -- she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;

¹³ and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as [in] her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.

¹⁴ `And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;

¹⁵ and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel -- that which they lift up to Jehovah,

¹⁶ nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

¹⁷ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

¹⁹ at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

²⁰ nothing in which [is] blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

²¹ `And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;

²² blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed -- ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.

²³ `As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed -- a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.

²⁴ As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing -- ye do not bring [it] near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.

²⁵ And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.'

²⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ `When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;

²⁸ but an ox or sheep -- it and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.

²⁹ `And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,

³⁰ on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I [am] Jehovah;

³¹ and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah;

³² and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you,

³³ who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] Jehovah.'

23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, [are] these: they [are] My appointed seasons:

³ six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it [is] a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.

⁴ `These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:

⁵ in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the passover to Jehovah;

⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

⁷ on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;

⁸ and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

⁹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,

¹¹ then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.

¹² `And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,

¹³ and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.

¹⁴ `And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God -- a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.

¹⁵ `And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;

¹⁶ unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;

¹⁷ out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two [loaves], of two tenth deals of flour they are, [with] yeast they are baken, first-[fruits] to Jehovah.

¹⁸ `And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

¹⁹ `And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,

²⁰ and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first-[fruits] -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;

²¹ and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work -- a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.

²² `And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah [am] your God.'

²³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁴ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;

²⁵ ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'

²⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁷ `Only -- on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;

²⁸ and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.

²⁹ `For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;

³⁰ and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;

³¹ ye do no work -- a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.

³² It [is] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'

³³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

³⁴ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month [is] a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;

³⁵ on the first day [is] a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,

³⁶ seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a restraint, ye do no servile work.

³⁷ `These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,

³⁸ apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.

³⁹ `Only -- in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day [is] a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;

⁴⁰ and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.

⁴¹ `And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year -- a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.

⁴² `In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,

⁴³ so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'

⁴⁴ And Moses speaketh [concerning] the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.

24 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;

³ at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually -- a statute age-during to your generations;

⁴ by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.

⁵ `And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,

⁶ and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,

⁷ and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.

⁸ `On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during;

⁹ and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah -- a statute age-during.'

¹⁰ And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,

¹¹ and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;

¹² and he causeth him to rest in charge -- to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.

¹³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁴ `Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.

¹⁵ `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God -- then he hath borne his sin;

¹⁶ and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.

¹⁷ `And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.

¹⁸ `And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.

¹⁹ `And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;

²⁰ breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.

²¹ `And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;

²² one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.'

²³ And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

25 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, then hath the land kept a sabbath to Jehovah.

³ `Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase,

⁴ and in the seventh year a sabbath of rest is to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah; thy field thou dost not sow, and thy vineyard thou dost not prune;

⁵ the spontaneous growth of thy harvest thou dost not reap, and the grapes of thy separated thing thou dost not gather, a year of rest it is to the land.

⁶ `And the sabbath of the land hath been to you for food, to thee, and to thy man-servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy hireling, and to thy settler, who are sojourning with thee;

⁷ and to thy cattle, and to the beast which [is] in thy land, is all thine increase for food.

⁸ `And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years have been to thee nine and forty years,

⁹ and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your land;

¹⁰ and ye have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; a jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back each unto his possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back.

¹¹ `A jubilee it [is], the fiftieth year, a year it is to you; ye sow not, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;

¹² for a jubilee it [is], holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;

¹³ in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.

¹⁴ `And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another;

¹⁵ by the number of years after the jubilee thou dost buy from thy fellow; by the number of the years of increase he doth sell to thee;

¹⁶ according to the multitude of the years thou dost multiply its price, and according to the fewness of the years thou dost diminish its price; for a number of increases he is selling to thee;

¹⁷ and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

¹⁸ `And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,

¹⁹ and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.

²⁰ `And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do not sow, nor gather our increase?

²¹ then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;

²² and ye have sown the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase, ye do eat the old.

²³ `And the land is not sold -- to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for sojourners and settlers [are] ye with Me;

²⁴ and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do give to the land.

²⁵ `When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come, and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother;

²⁶ and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient [for] its redemption,

²⁷ then he hath reckoned the years of its sale, and hath given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he hath returned to his possession.

²⁸ `And if his hand hath not found sufficiency to give back to him, then hath his sold thing been in the hand of him who buyeth it till the year of jubilee; and it hath gone out in the jubilee, and he hath returned to his possession.

²⁹ `And when a man selleth a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then hath his right of redemption been until the completion of a year from its selling; days -- is his right of redemption;

³⁰ and if it is not redeemed until the fulness to him of a perfect year, then hath the house which [is] in a walled city been established to extinction to the buyer of it, to his generations; it goeth not out in the jubilee;

³¹ and a house of the villages which have no wall round about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out.

³² `As to cities of the Levites -- houses of the cities of their possession -- redemption age-during is to the Levites;

³³ as to him who redeemeth from the Levites, both the sale of a house and the city of his possession have gone out in the jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.

³⁴ And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it [is] to them.

³⁵ `And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee;

³⁶ thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;

³⁷ thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;

³⁸ I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.

³⁹ `And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;

⁴⁰ as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, --

⁴¹ then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.

⁴² `For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;

⁴³ thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.

⁴⁴ `And thy man-servant and thy handmaid whom thou hast [are] of the nations who [are] round about you; of them ye buy man-servant and handmaid,

⁴⁵ and also of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, of them ye buy, and of their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;

⁴⁶ and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after you, to occupy [for] a possession; to the age ye lay service upon them, but upon your brethren, the sons of Israel, one with another, thou dost not rule over him with rigour.

⁴⁷ `And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with thee attaineth [riches], and thy brother with him hath become poor, and he hath been sold to a sojourner, a settler with thee, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,

⁴⁸ after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,

⁴⁹ or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem him, or -- his own hand hath attained -- then he hath been redeemed.

⁵⁰ `And he hath reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him till the year of jubilee, and the money of his sale hath been by the number of years; as the days of an hireling it is with him.

⁵¹ `If yet many years, according to them he giveth back his redemption [money], from the money of his purchase.

⁵² `And if few are left of the years till the year of jubilee, then he hath reckoned with him, according to his years he doth give back his redemption [money];

⁵³ as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine eyes.

⁵⁴ `And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he hath gone out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.

⁵⁵ For to Me [are] the sons of Israel servants; My servants they [are], whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.

26 `Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

² `My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

³ `If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,

⁴ then I have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;

⁵ and reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing-[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

⁶ `And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

⁷ `And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;

⁸ and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

⁹ `And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

¹⁰ and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.

¹¹ `And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

¹² and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye -- ye are become My people;

¹³ I [am] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.

¹⁴ `And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;

¹⁵ and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands -- to your breaking My covenant --

¹⁶ I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten it;

¹⁷ and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.

¹⁸ `And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, -- then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

¹⁹ and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;

²⁰ and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.

²¹ `And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,

²² and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

²³ `And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

²⁴ then I have walked -- I also -- with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;

²⁵ and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.

²⁶ `In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.
