Old/New Testament
15 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When any ish hath a discharge from his basar, because of his discharge he is tamei.
3 And this shall be his tumah (uncleanness) in his discharge: whether his basar run with his discharge, or his basar has stopped from his discharge, it is his tumah (uncleanness).
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the discharge, is tamei; and everything, whereon he sitteth, shall be tamei.
5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the discharge shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
7 And he that toucheth the basar of him that hath the discharge shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
8 And if he that hath the discharge spit upon him that is tahor, then he shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
9 And whatsoever riding seat he rideth upon that hath the discharge shall be tamei.
10 And whosoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be tamei until the erev; and he that picks up any of those things shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the discharge, and hath not rinsed his hands in mayim, he shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
12 And the clay pottery, that he toucheth which hath the discharge, shall be broken; and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in mayim.
13 And when he that hath a discharge is made tahor of his discharge; then he shall number to himself seven days for his tohorah (cleansing), and immerse his garments, and immerse his basar in running mayim, and shall be tahor.
14 And on the yom shemini he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before Hashem unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed, and give them unto the kohen;
15 And the kohen shall sacrifice them, the one for a chattat, and the other for an olah (burnt offering); and the kohen shall make kapporah for him before Hashem for his discharge.
16 And if any ish [baal keri, a person with a discharge of semen], if his shikhvat zera (emission of semen) go out from him, then he shall immerse his entire body in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the shikhvat zera, shall be immersed with mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
18 The isha also with whom ish shall lie with shikhvat zera, they shall both immerse themselves in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
19 And if an isha have a discharge, and her discharge in her body be dahm, she shall be in her state of niddah (state of menstrual separation) seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be tamei until the erev.
20 And everything that she lieth upon in her niddah shall be tamei; everything also that she sitteth upon shall be tamei.
21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
22 And whosoever toucheth anything that she sat upon shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be tamei until the erev.
24 And if any ish lie with her at all, and her niddah (menstrual flow) be upon him, he shall be tamei seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be tamei.
25 And if an isha have a discharge of her dahm many days out of the time of her niddah, or if it run beyond the time of her niddah, all the days of the discharge of her tumah shall be as the days of her niddah; she shall be tamei.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her discharge shall be unto her as the bed of her niddah; and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be tamei, as the tumah of her niddah.
27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be tamei, and shall immerse his garments, and immerse himself in mayim, and be tamei until the erev.
28 But if she be tohorah of her discharge, then she shall count to herself seven days, and after that she shall be tohorah.
29 And on the yom shemini she shall take unto her two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the kohen, to the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.
30 And the kohen shall sacrifice the one for a chattat, and the other for an olah (burnt offering); and the kohen shall make kapporah for her before Hashem for the discharge of her tumah.
31 Thus shall ye separate the Bnei Yisroel from their tumah; that they die not in their tumah, when they defile My Mishkan that is among them.
32 This is the torah of him that hath a discharge, and of him whose shikhvat zera goeth from him, and is made tamei therewith;
33 And of her that suffers through her niddah, and of him that hath a discharge, of the zachar, and of the nekevah, and of him that lieth with her that is tameiah.
[ACHAREY MOS]
16 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe after the mot of the two Bnei Aharon, when they approached before Hashem, and died;
2 And Hashem said unto Moshe, Speak unto Aharon thy brother, that he come not at any time into HaKodesh within the Parochet (curtain) before the Kapporet, which is upon the Aron; that he die not; for I will appear in the Anan upon the Kapporet.
3 Thus shall Aharon come into HaKodesh: with a young bull for a chattat, and a ram for an olah (burnt offering).
4 He shall put on the Kesones Bahd Kodesh (holy linen tunic [see Yn 19:23 on Moshiach’s Kesones, the day kapporah was made by the Kohen L’Olahm al Divrati Melki-Tzedek—Ps 110:4]), and he shall have the Mikhnesei Bahd (linen breeches) upon his basar, and shall be girded with a Avnet Bahd (linen sash), and with the Mitznefet Bahd (linen turban) shall he be attired; these are Bigdei Kodesh; therefore shall he immerse his basar in mayim, and so put them on.
5 And he shall take of the Adat Bnei Yisroel two male goats of the goats for a chattat, and one ram for an olah.
6 And Aharon shall offer his bull of the chattat, which is for himself, and make kapporah for himself, and for his bais.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before Hashem at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.
8 And Aharon shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Hashem, and the other lot for Azazel.
9 And Aharon shall bring the goat upon which Hashem’s lot fell, and offer him for a chattat.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented chai (alive) before Hashem, to make kapporah through it, and to let him go for Azazel into the midbar.
11 And Aharon shall bring the bull of the chattat, which is for himself, and shall make kapporah for himself, and for his bais, and shall slaughter (shachat) the bull of the chattat which is for himself;
12 And he shall take a machtah (censer) full of burning coals of eish from off the Mizbe’ach before Hashem, and his hands full of ketoret, ground and fragrant, and bring it within the Parochet (Curtain);
13 And he shall put the ketoret upon the eish before Hashem, that the anan of the ketoret may cover the Kapporet that is upon the Edut, that he die not;
14 And he shall take of the dahm of the bull, and sprinkle it with his forefinger upon the eastern front of the Kapporet; and before the Kapporet yazzeh (he shall sprinkle [see Isaiah 52:15 for Moshiach’s world-wide sprinkling]) of the dahm with his forefinger seven times.
15 Then shall he slaughter (shachat) the goat of the chattat, that is for the Am, and bring his dahm within the Parochet, and do with that dahm as he did with the dahm of the bull, and sprinkle it upon the Kapporet, and before the Kapporet;
16 And he shall make kapporah for HaKodesh, because of the tuma of the Bnei Yisroel, and because of their peysha’im in all their chattot; and so shall he do for the Ohel Mo’ed, that remaineth among them in the midst of their tumah.
17 And there shall be no adam in the Ohel Mo’ed when he goeth in to make kapporah in HaKodesh, until he come out, and have made kapporah for himself, and for his bais, and for kol Kehal Yisroel.
18 And he shall go out unto the Mizbe’ach that is before Hashem, and make kapporah for it; and shall take of the dahm of the bull, and of the dahm of the goat, and put it upon the Karnot of the Mizbe’ach around about.
19 And he shall sprinkle of the dahm upon it with his forefinger seven times, and make it tahor, and set it apart as kodesh from the tumah of the Bnei Yisroel.
20 And when he hath finished making kapporah for HaKodesh, and the Ohel Mo’ed, and the Mizbe’ach, he shall bring the live goat;
21 And Aharon shall lay both his hands upon the rosh (head) of the live goat, v’hitvaddah (and confess) over him kol avonot Bnei Yisroel, and all their peysha’im in all their chattot, putting them upon the rosh of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a designated man into the midbar;
22 And the goat nasah (shall carry, see Isaiah 53:12) upon him all their avonot unto an eretz gezerah (uninhabited, solitary place); and he shall release the goat in the midbar.
23 And Aharon shall come into the Ohel Mo’ed, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into HaKodesh, and shall leave them there;
24 And he shall wash his basar with mayim in the Makom Kadosh, and put on his garments, come out, and offer his olah and the olah of HaAm, and make kapporah for himself, and for HaAm.
25 And the chelev of the chattat shall he burn upon the Mizbe’ach.
26 And he that released the goat for Azazel shall immerse his garments and immerse his basar in mayim, and afterward come into the machaneh.
27 And the bull for the chattat, and the goat for the chattat whose dahm was brought in to make kapporah in HaKodesh, shall one carry forth outside the machaneh; and they shall burn in the eish their hides, and their basar, and their dung.
28 And he that burneth them shall immerse his garments, and immerse his basar in mayim, and afterward he shall come into the machaneh.
29 And this shall be a chukkat olam (eternal decree) unto you: that in the Chodesh HaShevi’i, on the tenth day of the chodesh, ye shall afflict your nefashot, and do no melachah at all, whether it be ezrach (native) or the ger that sojourneth among you:
30 For on that day shall the kohen make kapporah for you, to make you tahor, that ye may be tahor from all your chattot before Hashem.
31 It shall be a Shabbat Shabbaton unto you, and ye shall afflict your nefashot, by a chukkat olam.
32 And the kohen, who has been anointed or who has been given authority to minister as a kohen in place of his father, shall make kapporah, and shall put on the linen garments, even the Bigdei Hakodesh;
33 And he shall make kapporah for the Mikdash HaKodesh, and he shall make kapporah for the Ohel Mo’ed, and for the Mizbe’ach, and he shall make kapporah for the kohanim, and for kol HaAm HaKahal.
34 And this shall be a chukkat olam unto you, to make kapporah for the Bnei Yisroel for all their chattat once a year. And he did as Hashem commanded Moshe.
27 Now when boker had come, all the Rashei Hakohenim and the Ziknei HaAm took counsel together against Yehoshua to put him to death.
2 And having performed the akedah (binding), they led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the Governor.
3 Then when Yehudah, who had betrayed Moshiach, saw that Yehoshua had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the sheloshim shiklei kesef (thirty pieces of silver) to the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim,
4 saying Chatati (I have sinned). I have betrayed dam naki (innocent blood). But they said, What is that to us? See to that yourself!
5 And Yehudah threw the shiklei kesef (pieces of silver) into the Beis Hamikdash and departed; and, having gone away, Yehudah hanged himself.
6 And the Rashei Hakohanim took the shiklei kesef and said, It is asur (forbidden) to put these into the Beis Hamikdash otzar (treasury), vi-bahlt (since) it is blood money.
7 And they took counsel together and they bought the Potter’s Field as a beis hakevoros (cemetery) for zarim (foreigners).
8 For this reason that field has been called the Sadeh HaDahm (Field of Blood) to this day.
9 Then that which was spoken through Yirmeyah HaNavi was fulfilled, saying, And they took the SHELOSHIM KASEF (thirty pieces of silver), HAYEKAR (the price) of the one whose price had been set by the Bnei Yisroel.
10 And they gave them for the potters field as Hashem directed. [ZECHARYAH 11:12-13]
11 Now Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saying, Are you the Melech HaYehudim? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, It is as you say.
12 And while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was being accused by the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim, he answered nothing [YESHAYAH 53:7].
13 Then Pilate said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Do you not hear how many things they give edut against you?
14 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not answer him with even one word, so that the Governor was quite amazed.[YESHAYAH 53:7]
15 Now at the Chag (Festival, Pesach) the Governor was accustomed to release for the multitude any one prisoner they wanted.
16 And they were holding at the time a notorious prisoner, called [Yeshua] Bar-Abba [son of the father].
17 When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release for you, Bar Abba or Yehoshua called Moshiach?
18 For Pilate knew that because of kinah (envy) they had delivered Yehoshua up.
19 And while Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that Tzaddik; for last night I suffered greatly in a chalom (dream) because of Yehoshua.
20 However, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim persuaded the multitudes to ask for Bar-Abba, but Yehoshua they should destroy.
21 But the Governor answered, saying to them, Which of the two do you want me to release for you? And they said, Bar-Abba.
22 In reply, Pilate says to them, What, therefore, may I do with Yehoshua, the one called the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach? Everyone says, Let him be made TALUI AL HAETZ (being hanged on the Tree!) Be hanged on HAETZ! [DEVARIM 21:23]
23 But Pilate said, Why? What rah (evil) has he done? But they kept shouting all the more, saying, Let him be hanged on HAETZ!
24 And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to that yourselves.
25 And, in reply, all the people said, His dahm be on us and on our yeladim.
26 Then Pilate released Bar-Abba to them. But after having Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach scourged, he handed him over to be hanged on HAETZ [DEVARIM 21:23].
