1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves
from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto
Me, and that they profane not My holy name: I am the LORD.
3 Say unto them: Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout
your generations, that approacheth 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 before Me: I am the LORD.
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an
issue, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso
toucheth any one that is unclean by the dead; or from whomsoever the flow
of seed goeth out;
5 or whosoever toucheth any swarming thing, whereby he may be
made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness
he hath;
6 the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the
even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in
water.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward
he may eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall
not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
9 They shall therefore keep My charge, lest they bear sin for
it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am the LORD who sanctify them.
10 ¶ There shall no common man eat of the holy thing; a tenant
of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he
may eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they may eat of his bread.
12 And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a common man, she
shall not eat of that which is set apart from the holy things.
13 But if a 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
may eat of her father’s bread; but there shall no common man eat thereof.
14 And if a man eat of the holy thing through error, then he
shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest
the holy thing.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they set apart unto the LORD;
16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt,
when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctify them.
17 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children
of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or
of the strangers in Israel, that bringeth his offering, whether it be any
of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto
the LORD for a burnt-offering;
19 that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish,
of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not bring; for
it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever bringeth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto
the LORD in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for a freewill-offering,
of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there
shall be no blemish therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed,
or scurvy, 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 too long or
too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow
it shall not be accepted.
24 That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or torn, or
cut, ye shall not offer unto the LORD; neither shall ye do thus in your
land.
25 Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread
of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there
is a blemish in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
26 And the LORD spoke 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; but from the eighth day and thenceforth
it may 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 its
young both in one day.
29 And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the
LORD, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of
it until the morning: I am the LORD.
31 And ye shall keep My commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
32 And ye shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed
among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who hallow you,
33 that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God:
I am the LORD.
1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The appointed
seasons of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even
these are My appointed seasons.
3 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath
of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work; it is
a sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 ¶ These are the appointed seasons of the LORD, even holy convocations,
which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at dusk,
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 shall eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall
do no manner of servile work.
8 And ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven
days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses saying:
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When
ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest
thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits 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 in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb
without blemish of the first year for a burnt-offering unto the LORD.
13 And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of
an ephah 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 a hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor fresh
ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the offering of your
God; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 ¶ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the day
of rest, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the waving; seven weeks
shall there be complete;
16 even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number
fifty days; and ye shall present a new meal-offering unto the LORD.
17 Ye shall bring out of your dwellings two wave-loaves of two
tenth parts of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked
with leaven, for first-fruits unto the LORD.
18 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish
of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams; they shall be a
burnt-offering unto the LORD, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings,
even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
19 And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two
he-lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits
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 make proclamation on the selfsame day; there
shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no manner of servile
work; it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning
of thy harvest; thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the stranger:
I am the LORD your God.
23 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh
month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you,
a memorial proclaimed with the blast of horns, a holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no manner of servile work; and ye shall bring
an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
27 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day
of atonement; there shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall
afflict your souls; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
28 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it
is a day of atonement, to make 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 his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in
that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work; it is a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall
afflict your souls; in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto
even, shall ye keep your sabbath.
33 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: On the fifteenth
day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto
the LORD.
35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do
no manner of servile work.
36 Seven days ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto the
LORD; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall
bring an offering made by fire unto the LORD; it is a day of solemn assembly;
ye shall do no manner of servile work.
37 These are the appointed seasons of the LORD, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, to bring an offering made by fire unto
the LORD, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings,
each on its own 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 Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye
have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of the
LORD seven days; on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth
day shall be a solemn rest.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly
trees, branches of palm-trees, and 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 is a statute for ever in your generations; ye shall keep it in
the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born
in Israel 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 appointed
seasons of the LORD.
