1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the YHWH, and died;

Lv16:1  and the Lord spoke to Moses after the two sons of Aaron died in bringing strange fire before the Lord, so they died.

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 YHWH said unto Moses: 'Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the ark-cover which is upon the ark; that he die not; for I appear in the cloud upon the ark-cover.

Lv16:2  And the Lord said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, and let him not come in at all times into the holy place within the veil before the propitiatory, which is upon the ark of the testimony, and he shall not die; for I will appear in a cloud on the propitiatory.

2  And he instructed him, saying: Speak to your brother Aaron, so that he may not, at any time, enter into the Sanctuary, which is within the veil, before the propitiatory by which the ark is covered, so that he may not die, (for I will appear in a cloud above the oracle)

3  Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.

Lv16:3  Thus shall Aaron enter into the holy place; with a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and having a ram for a whole-burnt-offering.

3  unless he will have done these things beforehand. He shall offer a calf for sin, and a ram as a holocaust.

4  He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired; they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.

Lv16:4  And he shall put on the consecrated linen tunic, and he shall have on his flesh the linen drawers, and shall gird himself with a linen girdle, and shall put on the linen cap, they are holy garments; and he shall bathe all his body in water, and shall put them on.

4  He shall be vested with a linen tunic. He shall conceal his nakedness with linen undergarments. He shall be wrapped with a linen belt, and he shall impose a linen headdress on his head. For these are holy vestments. All of these he shall put on, after he has been washed.

5  And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.

5  And he shall receive, from the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, two he-goats for sin, and one ram as a holocaust.

6  And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.

Lv16:6  And Aaron shall bring the calf for his own sin-offering, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house.

6  And when he has presented the calf, and has prayed for himself and for his own house,

7  And he shall take the two goats, and set them before YHWH at the door of the tent of meeting.

7  he shall cause the two he-goats to stand in the sight of the Lord at the entrance to the tabernacle of the testimony.

8  And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for YHWH, and the other lot for Azazel.

8  And casting lots over them both, one is to be offered to the Lord, and the other is to be the emissary goat.

9  And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for YHWH, and offer him for a sin-offering.

9  The one whose lot fell out to be offered to the Lord, he shall offer for sin.

10  But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before YHWH, to make atonement over him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness.

Lv16:10  and the goat upon which the lot of the scape-goat came, he shall present alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon him, so as to send him away as a scape-goat, and he shall send him into the wilderness.

10  But the one who is to be the emissary goat shall stand before the Lord, so that he may pour the prayers upon him, and may send him away into the wilderness.

11  And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.

Lv16:11  And Aaron shall bring the calf for his sin, and he shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and he shall kill the calf for his sin-offering.

11  After these things have been duly celebrated, he shall offer the calf, and praying for himself and for his own house, he shall immolate it.

12  And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before YHWH, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil.

Lv16:12  And he shall take his censer full of coals of fire off the altar, which is before the Lord; and he shall fill his hands with fine compound incense, and shall bring it within the veil.

12  And taking up the censer, which he has filled from the burning coals of the altar, and drawing up with his hands the aromatic compound for incense, he shall enter within the veil, into the holy place,

13  And he shall put the incense upon the fire before YHWH, that the cloud of the incense may cover the ark-cover that is upon the testimony, that he die not.

13  so that when the aromatics are placed upon the fire, its cloud and vapor may cover the oracle, which is above the testimony, and he may not die.

14  And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the ark-cover on the east; and before the ark- cover shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

14  Likewise, he shall take some of the blood of the calf, and sprinkle it with his finger seven times opposite the propitiatory, toward the east.

15  Then shall he kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the ark-cover, and before the ark-cover.

Lv16:15  and he shall kill the goat for the sin-offering that is for the people, before the Lord; and he shall bring in of its blood within the veil, and shall do with its blood as he did with the blood of the calf, and shall sprinkle its blood on the mercy-seat, in front of the mercy-seat.

15  And when he has slain the he-goat for the sin of the people, he shall carry its blood within the veil, just as he was instructed to do with the blood of the calf, so that he may sprinkle it away from the area of the oracle,

16  And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwelleth with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

16  and so that he may expiate the Sanctuary from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and from their prevarications and every one of their sins. According to this rite, he shall act toward the tabernacle of the testimony, which is fixed among them in the midst of the filth of their habitation.

17  And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

17  Let no man be in the tabernacle when the high priest enters the Sanctuary in order to pray for himself, and for his house, and for the entire assembly of Israel, until he exits.

18  And he shall go out unto the altar that is before YHWH, and make 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.

Lv16:18  And he shall come forth to the altar that is before the Lord, and he shall make atonement upon it; and he shall take of the blood of the calf, and of the blood of the goat, and shall put it on the horns of the altar round about.

18  And when he has exited to the altar which is before the Lord, let him pray for himself, and taking the blood of the calf, and of the he-goat, let him pour it upon its horns all around.

19  And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel.

19  And sprinkling with his finger seven times, let him expiate and sanctify it from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel.

20  And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

Lv16:20  And he shall finish making atonement for the sanctuary and for the tabernacle of witness, and for the altar; and he shall make a cleansing for the priests, and he shall bring the living goat;

20  After he has cleansed the Sanctuary, and the tabernacle, and the altar, then let him offer the living 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, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of an appointed man into the wilderness.

21  And placing both hands upon its head, let him confess all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all of their offenses and sins. And calling these down upon its head, he shall send it away, by means of a man prepared to do so, into the desert.

22  And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land which is cut off; and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

Lv16:22  And the goat shall bear their unrighteousnesses upon him into a desert land; and Aaron shall send away the goat into the wilderness.

22  And when the goat has carried all their iniquities into a solitary land, and has been released into the desert,

23  And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there.

23  Aaron shall return into the tabernacle of the testimony. And placing aside the vestments, which he had worn before when he entered into the Sanctuary, and leaving them there,

24  And he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place and put on his other vestments, and come forth, and offer his burnt- offering and the burnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

Lv16:24  And he shall bathe his body in water in the holy place, and shall put on his raiment, and shall go out and offer the whole-burnt-offering for himself and the whole-burnt-offering for the people: and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and for the people, as for the priests.

24  he shall wash his flesh in the holy place, and he shall be clothed in his own garments. And departing afterwards, he shall present his own holocaust and that of the people: he shall pray as much for himself as for the people.

25  And the fat of the sin-offering shall he make smoke upon the altar.

Lv16:25  And he shall offer the fat for the sin-offering on the altar.

26  And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

Lv16:26  And he that sends forth the goat that has been set apart to be let go, shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards shall enter into the camp.

26  Yet truly, he who has sent away the emissary goat shall wash his clothes and his body with water, and so he shall enter into the camp.

27  And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

27  But the calf and the he-goat, which were immolated for sin, and whose blood was brought into the Sanctuary to complete the expiation, these shall be carried outside the camp and be burned with fire: as with their skins, so also with their flesh and dung.

28  And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

28  And whoever will have burned them shall wash his clothes and flesh with water, and so he shall enter into the camp.

29  And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you.

29  And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance. In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and you shall do no work, neither someone native born, nor the newcomer who sojourns among you.

30  For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before YHWH.

Lv16:30  For in this day he shall make an atonement for you, to cleanse you from all your sins before the Lord, and ye shall be purged.

30  On this day, there shall be atonement for you, and also a cleansing from all your sins. You shall be cleansed in the sight of the Lord.

31  It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it is a statute for ever.

Lv16:31  This shall be to you a most holy sabbath, a rest, and ye shall humble your souls; it is a perpetual ordinance.

31  For it is a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls as a perpetual observance.

32  And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.

Lv16:32  The priest whomsoever they shall anoint shall make atonement, and whomsoever they shall consecrate to exercise the priestly office after his father; and he shall put on the linen robe, the holy garment.

33  And he shall make atonement for the most holy place, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

33  And he shall expiate the Sanctuary and the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, likewise the priest and all the people.

34  And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel because of all their sins once in the year.' And he did as YHWH commanded Moses.

17:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv17:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17:2  Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which YHWH hath commanded, saying

Lv17:2  Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying,

17:3  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 without the camp,

Lv17:3  Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall kill it out of the camp,

3  Any man at all of the house of Israel, if he will have killed an ox, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp or beyond the camp,

17:4  and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to present it as an offering unto YHWH before the tabernacle of the YHWH, blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

Lv17:4  and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to sacrifice it for a whole-burnt-offering or peace-offering to the Lord to be acceptable for a sweet-smelling savour: and whosoever shall slay it without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be cut off from his people.

4  and not have presented it as an oblation to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle, he shall be guilty of blood. It is just as if he had shed blood; so then, he shall perish from the midst of his people.

17:5  To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto YHWH, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto the YHWH.

Lv17:5  That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they shall slay in the fields, and bring them to the Lord unto the doors of the tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a peace-offering to the Lord.

5  Therefore, the sons of Israel must offer to the priest their victims, which they kill in the field, so that they may be sanctified to the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and so that they may immolate them as peace offerings to the Lord.

17:6  And the priest shall dash the blood against the altar of YHWH at the door of the tent of meeting, and make the fat smoke for a sweet savour unto the YHWH.

Lv17:6  And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.

17:7  And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the satyrs, after whom they go astray. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

Lv17:7  And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain gods after which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your generations.

7  And they shall no longer immolate their victims to demons, with whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an everlasting ordinance for them and for their posterity.

17:8  And thou shalt say unto them: Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,

8  And you shall say to them: The man of the house of Israel, or of the newcomers who sojourn with you, who offers a holocaust or a victim,

17:9  and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto YHWH, even that man shall be cut off from his people.

Lv17:9  and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed from among his people.

9  and who does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, so that it may be offered to the Lord, shall pass away from his people.

17:10  And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set My face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

17:11  For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

Lv17:11  For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul.

17:12  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.

12  For this reason, I have said to the sons of Israel: No soul among you shall eat blood, nor among the newcomers who sojourn with you.

17:13  And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that taketh in hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

17:14  For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with 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.

Lv17:14  For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.

14  For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore, I said to the sons of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whoever has eaten it shall perish.

17:15  And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even; then shall he be clean.

15  The soul who eats what has died on its own, or what has been caught by a beast, whether he is native born or a newcomer, shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and he shall be contaminated until evening. And by this means he shall be made clean.

17:16  But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

Lv17:16  But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.

16  But if he will not wash his clothes and his body, he shall bear his iniquity.

18:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv18:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

18:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: I am YHWH your God.

Lv18:2  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I am the Lord your God.

18:3  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 statutes.

Lv18:3  Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.

3  You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.

18:4  Mine ordinances shall ye do, and My statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am YHWH your God.

4  You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.

4  But you shall do my judgments and keep my commandments and walk in them; I am the LORD your God.

18:5  Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them: I am YHWH.

Lv18:5  So ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgements, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord your God.

5  Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.

18:6  None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. I am YHWH.

Lv18:6  No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I am the Lord.

6  No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.

18:7  The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

7  You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

9  You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.

18:10  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.

10  You shall not approach your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, because they are your own kin.

18:11  The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

12  You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.

12  You shall not approach your father's sister, she is your father's near kinswoman.

13  You shall not approach your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near kinswoman.

18:14  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy fathers brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.

14  You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.

14  You shall not put to shame your father's brother; you shall not approach his wife: for she is your aunt, you shall not uncover her nakedness.

18:15  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son' wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

15  You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife; neither shall you expose her dishonor.

18:17  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are near kinswomen; it is lewdness.

17  You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.

18:18  And thou shalt not take a woman to her sister, to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her lifetime.

Lv18:18  Thou shalt not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.

18  You shall not take your wife’s sister as a rival mistress; nor shall you uncover her nakedness, while your wife is still living.

21  You shall not let any of your semen be cast into a strange woman to cause her to be pregnant; neither shall you profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.

22  You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.

18:23  And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto; it is perversion.

23  You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.

18:24  Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out from before you.

Lv18:24  Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,

24  Do not pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated

18:25  And the land was defiled, therefore I did visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

Lv18:25  and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.

25  and by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

18:26  Ye therefore shall keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you--

18:27  for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled--

27  For all these detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.

18:28  that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

Lv18:28  and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.

28  Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.

18:29  For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

29  Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his people.

18:30  Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am YHWH your God.

Lv18:30  And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

30  Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.

19:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv19:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

4  Do not be willing to convert to idols, neither should you make molten gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.

19:5  And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto YHWH, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.

Lv19:5  And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.

5  If you immolate a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, so that he may be appeased,

19:6  It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow; and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.

Lv19:6  In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.

6  you shall eat it on the same day as when it was immolated, and the next day. Then whatever will remain on the third day you shall burn with fire.

19:7  And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is a vile thing; it shall not be accepted.

7  If anyone, after two days, will have eaten from it, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety.

19:8  But every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of YHWH; and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

8  And he shall bear his iniquity, for he has polluted what is holy to the Lord. And that soul shall perish from his people.

19:9  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.

19:10  And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am YHWH your God.

10  Neither shall you gather the clusters or individual grapes which fall down in your vineyard, but you shall leave them for paupers and travelers to take. I am the Lord your God.

10  And you shall not glean your vineyards, neither shall you gather that which is fallen from your olive trees, but you shall leave them for the poor and the proselytes; for I am the LORD your God.

19:11  Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.

Lv19:11  Ye shall not steal, ye shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.

11  You shall not steal. You shall not lie. Neither shall anyone deceive his neighbor.

19:12  And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, so that thou profane the name of thy God: I am YHWH.

12  You shall not commit perjury in my name, nor shall you pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.

12  You shall not swear by my name falsely and so profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.

19:13  Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, nor rob him; the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

13  You shall not slander your neighbor, nor shall you oppress him by violence. The wages of a hired hand, you shall not delay with you until tomorrow.

19:15  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor favour the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

15  You shall not do what is unjust, nor shall you judge unjustly. You shall not consider the reputation of the poor, nor shall you honor the countenance of the powerful. Judge your neighbor justly.

19:16  Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand idly by the blood of thy neighbour: I am YHWH.

19:20  And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, designated for a man, and not at all redeemed, nor was freedom given her; there shall be inquisition; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

Lv19:20  And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, and her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited with punishment; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.

20  If a man will have slept in sexual intercourse with a woman, who is a servant and who is also able to be married, and yet he has not redeemed her with a price, nor paid to set her free, they both shall be beaten, but they shall not die, for she was not a free woman.

19:21  And he shall bring his forfeit unto YHWH, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a guilt-offering.

Lv19:21  And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.

21  But, for his offense, he shall offer a ram to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

19:22  And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before YHWH for his sin which he hath sinned; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath sinned.

22  And the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, before the Lord, and he shall win his favor again for him, and the sin shall be forgiven.

19:23  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 forbidden; three years shall it be as forbidden unto you; it shall not be eaten.

Lv19:23  And whenever ye shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit-tree, then shall ye purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.

23  When you will have entered into the land, and will have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away their first-fruits; the fruit that germinates shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat from these.

19:24  And in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto YHWH.

24  But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified for the praise of the Lord.

19:25  But in the fifth year may ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you more richly the increase thereof: I am YHWH your God.

Lv19:25  And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.

19:27  Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

Lv19:27  Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.

27  And you shall not cut the hair of your head circularly, nor shave your beard.

19:28  Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am YHWH.

28  You shall not cut your flesh for the dead, and you shall not make other figures or marks on yourself. I am the Lord.

19:29  Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of lewdness.

29  Do not prostitute your daughter, lest the land be contaminated and filled with crimes.

19:30  Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am YHWH.

32  You shall rise up before an elder and honor the person who is older than you and revere your God; I am the LORD your God.

19:33  And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.

33  If a newcomer lives in your land and abides among you, do not reproach him,

19:34  The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am YHWH your God.

34  but let him be among you like one native born. And you shall love him as yourselves. For you were also newcomers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

19:35  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

35  Do not be willing to accomplish iniquity in judgment, in lengths, in weights, in quantities.

35  You shall do no injustices in judgment, in balances, in weight, or in measure.

19:36  Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Lv19:36  There shall be among you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

36  Let the scales be just and the weights equal, let the dry measure be just and the liquid measure be equal. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt.

19:37  And ye shall observe all My statutes, and all Mine ordinances, and do them: I am YHWH.

37  Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and accomplish them. I am the Lord.

37  Therefore you shall keep all my commandments and all my judgments, and do them; I am the LORD.

20:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv20:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

20:2  Moreover, 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 of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

2  You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.

20:3  I also 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.

Lv20:3  And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.

3  And I will pour out my anger against that man and will cut him off from among his people; because he has cast his semen into an alien woman to defile my sanctuary and to profane my holy name.

20:4  And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death;

Lv20:4  And if the natives of the land should in anywise overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;

4  But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,

20:5  then I will set My face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to go astray after Molech, from among their people.

Lv20:5  then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.

5  I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.

20:6  And the soul that turneth unto the ghosts, and unto the familiar spirits, to go astray after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

6  The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.

6  And the person that goes after diviners and soothsayers to go astray after them, I will pour out my anger against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

20:7  Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am YHWH your God.

Lv20:7  And ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

7  Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

20:8  And keep ye My statutes, and do them: I am YHWH who sanctify you.

20:14  And if a man take with his wife also her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

Lv20:14  Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.

14  If any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.

Lv20:16  And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, ye shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.

16  The woman who will have lain under any animal at all shall be destroyed together with it. So let their blood be upon them.

20:17  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 shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

Lv20:17  Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness, they shall bear their sin.

17  Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.

19  You shall not expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both shall bear their iniquity.

Lv20:22  And keep ye all my ordinances, and my judgements; and ye shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.

20:23  And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

23  Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate them.

20:24  But I have said unto you: 'Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.' I am YHWH your God, who have set you apart from the peoples.

Lv20:24  and I said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, even a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.

20:25  Ye shall therefore separate between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and ye shall not make your souls detestable by beast, or by fowl, or by any thing wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean.

Lv20:25  And ye shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and ye shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

25  Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.

20:26  And ye shall be holy unto Me; for I YHWH am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be Mine.

Lv20:27  And as for a man or woman whosoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: ye shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.

27  A man or a woman, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.

21:1  And YHWH said unto Moses: Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them: There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people;

Lv21:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt tell them that they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead,

1  The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,

21:2  except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;

Lv21:2  but they may mourn for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,

2  except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,

21:3  and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband, for her may he defile himself.

3  or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.

5  Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.

21:6  They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of YHWH made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer; therefore they shall be holy.

6  But they shall be holy to 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.

21:7  They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profaned; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.

7  They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,

21:8  Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God; he shall be holy unto thee; for I YHWH, who sanctify you, am holy.

Lv21:8  And thou shalt hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy, for I the Lord that sanctify them am holy.

8  and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.

21:9  And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

Lv21:9  And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

9  If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.

Lv21:10  And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments

10  The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.

21:11  neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

11  And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.

21:12  neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am YHWH.

Lv21:12  And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God is upon him: I am the Lord.

21:13  And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Lv21:13  He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.

21:14  A widow, or one divorced, or a profaned woman, or a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife.

14  But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.

21:15  And he shall not profane his seed among his people; for I am YHWH who sanctify him.

15  He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.

21:16  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv21:16  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

21:17  Speak unto Aaron, saying: Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

Lv21:17  Say to Aaron, A man of thy tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of his God.

21:18  For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath any thing maimed, or anything too long,

Lv21:18  No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,

18  Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,

21:19  or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

Lv21:19  a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,

19  if his foot or hand is broken,

21:20  or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath his eye overspread, or is scabbed, or scurvy, or hath his stones crushed;

Lv21:20  or hump-backed, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.

20  if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.

21:21  no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of YHWH made by fire; he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

Lv21:21  Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer sacrifices to thy God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of God.

21  Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.

21:22  He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

Lv21:22  The gifts of God are most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.

22  Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.

21:23  Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not My holy places; for I am YHWH who sanctify them.

23  But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

21:24  So Moses spoke unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.

24  Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.

22:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv22:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

1  The Lord also spoke to Moses saying

22:2  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 YHWH.

Lv22:2  Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they shall not profane my holy name in any of the things which they consecrate to me: I am the Lord.

2  Say to Aaron and to his sons, that they may keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel and that they may not profane my holy name in those things which they hallow to me; I am the LORD,

22:3  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 YHWH, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before Me: I am the YHWH.

Lv22:3  Say to them, Every man throughout your generations, whoever of all your seed shall approach to the holy things, whatsoever the children of Israel shall consecrate to the Lord, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from me: I am the Lord your God.

3  Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.

22:4  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;

Lv22:4  And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from him,

4  The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,

22:5  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;

Lv22:5  or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or who shall touch a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness

5  and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,

22:6  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.

Lv22:6  whatsoever soul shall touch them shall be unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water,

6  shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,

22:7  And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

Lv22:7  and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.

7  and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.

22:8  That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am YHWH.

Lv22:8  He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I am the Lord.

8  Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.

22:9  They shall therefore keep My charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am YHWH who sanctify them.

Lv22:9  And they shall keep my ordinances, that they do not bear iniquity because of them, and die because of them, if they shall profane them: I am the Lord God that sanctifies them.

9  Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

22:10  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.

Lv22:10  And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things.

10  No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.

22:11  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.

11  But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.

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.

22:12  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.

22:13  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.

Lv22:13  And if the daughter of priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father’s house, as in her youth: she shall eat of her father’s bread, but no stranger shall eat of it.

13  But if she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father’s house, she shall be nourished by her father’s foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.

22:14  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.

Lv22:14  And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.

14  Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.

22:15  And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they set apart unto YHWH;

15  And the children of Israel shall not profane the holy things which they offer to the LORD;

22:16  and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am YHWH who sanctify them.

Lv22:16  So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

16  lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

22:17  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv22:17  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

22:18  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 YHWH for a burnt-offering;

Lv22:18  Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatsoever they may bring to the Lord for whole-burnt-offerings—

22:19  that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

Lv22:19  your free-will-offerings shall be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

19  in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.

22:20  But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not bring; for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Lv22:20  They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

20  If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.

22:21  And whosoever bringeth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto YHWH 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.

Lv22:21  And whatsoever man shall offer a peace-offering to the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free-will-offering, or an offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.

21  The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.

22:22  Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto YHWH, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the YHWH.

Lv22:22  One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters, they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall ye offer any of them for a burnt-offering on the altar of the Lord.

22  If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of the Lord.

22:23  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.

Lv22:23  And a calf or a sheep with the ears cut off, or that has lost its tail, thou shalt slay them for thyself; but they shall not be accepted for thy vow.

23  An ox or a sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.

22:24  That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut, ye shall not offer unto YHWH; neither shall ye do thus in your land.

24  You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.

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.

22:25  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.

Lv22:25  Neither shall ye offer the gifts of your God of all these things by the hand of a stranger, because there is corruption in them, a blemish in them: these shall not be accepted for you.

25  From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.

22:26  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv22:26  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

22:27  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 YHWH.

27  An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.

22:28  And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

Lv22:28  And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, thou shalt not kill in one day.

28  Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.

22:29  And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto YHWH, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.

Lv22:29  And if thou shouldest offer a sacrifice, a vow of rejoicing to the Lord, ye shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.

29  If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,

22:30  On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am YHWH.

Lv22:30  In that same day it shall be eaten; ye shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.

30  you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.

22:31  And ye shall keep My commandments, and do them: I am YHWH.

31  Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.

31  Therefore you shall keep my commandments and do them; I am the LORD.

22:32  And ye shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am YHWH who hallow you,

32  Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,

22:33  that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am YHWH.

Lv22:33  who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.

33  and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.

23:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv23:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The appointed seasons of YHWH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My appointed seasons.

Lv23:2  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, The feasts of the Lord which ye shall call holy assemblies, these are my feasts.

2  Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.

23:3  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 YHWH in all your dwellings.

3  For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, because it is the rest of the Sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwelling places.

23:4  These are the appointed seasons of YHWH, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.

4  Therefore, these are the feasts of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their times.

23:5  In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at dusk, is YHWH'S passover.

5  The first month, the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, is the Passover of the Lord.

5  On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD'S passover.

23:6  And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YHWH; seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.

6  And the fifteenth day of this month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. For seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.

23:7  In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

Lv23:7  And the first day shall be a holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work.

7  The first day shall be greatly honored and holy to you; you shall do no servile work in it.

23:8  And ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto YHWH seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

Lv23:8  And ye shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord seven days; and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work.

8  But you shall offer a sacrifice with fire, for seven days, to the Lord. Then the seventh day shall be more honored and more holy; and you shall do no servile work in it.

23:9  And YHWH spoke unto Moses saying

Lv23:9  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23:10  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.

Lv23:10  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye shall enter into the land which I give you, and reap the harvest of it, then shall ye bring a sheaf, the first-fruits of your harvest, to the priest;

10  Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, and you will have harvested your grain fields, you shall carry the sheaves of grain, the first-fruits of your harvest, to the priest.

23:11  And he shall wave the sheaf before YHWH, to be accepted for you; on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Lv23:11  and he shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you. On the morrow of the first day the priest shall lift it up.

11  He shall lift up a sheaf before the Lord, on the day after the Sabbath, so that it may be acceptable for you, and he shall sanctify it.

23:12  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 YHWH.

12  And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a one-year-old immaculate lamb shall be slain as a holocaust of the Lord.

23:13  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 YHWH for a sweet savour; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

Lv23:13  And its meat-offering two tenth portions of fine flour mingled with oil: it is a sacrifice to the Lord, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord, and its drink-offering the fourth part of a hin of wine.

13  And the libations shall be offered with it: two-tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as an incense and a most sweet odor for the Lord; likewise, libations of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

23:14  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.

14  Bread, and parched grain, and boiled grain, you shall not eat from the grain field, until the day when you shall offer from it to your God. It is an everlasting precept in your generations and in all of your dwelling places.

23:15  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;

Lv23:15  And ye shall number to yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day on which ye shall offer the sheaf of the heave-offering, seven full weeks

15  Therefore, you shall number from the day after the Sabbath, in which you offered a sheaf of the first-fruits, seven full weeks,

23:16  even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall present a new meal-offering unto YHWH.

Lv23:16  until the morrow after the last week ye shall number fifty days, and shall bring a new meat-offering to the Lord.

16  all the way to the day after the completion of the seventh week, that is, fifty days, and then you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord,

23:17  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 YHWH.

17  from all of your dwelling places: two loaves from the first-fruits, from two-tenths of leavened fine wheat flour, which you shall bake as the first-fruits of the Lord.

17  You shall bring out of your dwellings two wave loaves of two tenths of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the first-fruits to the LORD.

23:18  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 YHWH, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the YHWH.

Lv23:18  And ye shall bring with the loaves seven unblemished lambs of a year old, and one calf of the herd, and two rams without blemish, and they shall be a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord: and their meat-offerings and their drink-offerings shall be a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

18  And you shall offer with the bread: seven immaculate one-year-old lambs, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and these shall be a holocaust, with their libations, as a most sweet odor to the Lord.

23:19  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.

Lv23:19  And they shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs of a year old for a peace-offering, with the loaves of the first-fruits.

19  You shall also offer a he-goat for sin, and two one-year-old lambs as victims of peace offerings.

23:20  And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before YHWH, with the two lambs; they shall be holy to the YHWH for the priest.

20  And when the priest has lifted them up with the loaves of the first-fruits, in the sight of the Lord, they shall fall to his use.

23:21  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.

Lv23:21  And ye shall call this day a convocation: it shall be holy to you; ye shall do no servile work on it: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations in all your habitations.

21  And you shall call this day most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwelling places and generations.

23:22  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 YHWH your God.

Lv23:22  And when ye shall reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not fully reap the remainder of the harvest of your field when thou reapest, and thou shalt not gather that which falls from thy reaping; thou shalt leave it for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

22  And when you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down all the way to the ground; neither shall you gather the remnants of the ears of grain, but you shall leave these for paupers and strangers. I am the Lord your God.

23:23  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv23:23  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23:24  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.

24  Say to the sons of Israel: The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a Sabbath for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.

24  Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, The seventh month on the first day of the month shall be to you a day of rest, and a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

23:25  Ye shall do no manner of servile work; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto YHWH.

25  You shall do no servile work in it, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

23:26  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv23:26  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23:27  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 YHWH.

Lv23:27  Also on the tenth day of this seventh month is a day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you; and ye shall humble your souls, and offer a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.

27  The tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement; it shall be most honored, and it shall be called holy. And you shall afflict your souls on that day, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

23:28  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 YHWH your God.

Lv23:28  Ye shall do no work on this self-same day: for this is a day of atonement for you, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.

28  You shall do no servile work in the time of this day; for it is a day of propitiation, so that the Lord your God may be merciful to you.

23:29  For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

Lv23:29  Every soul that shall not be humbled in that day, shall be cut off from among its people.

23:30  And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.

Lv23:30  And every soul which shall do work on that day, that soul shall be destroyed from among its people.

30  and anyone who will have done work, I shall wipe him away from his people.

23:31  Ye shall do no manner of work; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

31  Therefore, you shall do no work on that day. This shall be an everlasting ordinance for you in all your generations and dwelling places.

23:32  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.

32  It is a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your Sabbaths.

23:33  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv23:33  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23:34  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto YHWH.

Lv23:34  Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be a feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord.

34  Say to the sons of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be the Feast of Tabernacles: seven days for the Lord.

23:35  On the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

Lv23:35  And on the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

35  The first day shall be called most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it.

23:36  Seven days ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto YHWH; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto the YHWH; it is a day of solemn assembly; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

Lv23:36  Seven days shall ye offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, and the eighth-day shall be a holy convocation to you; and ye shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord: it is a time of release, ye shall do no servile work.

36  And for seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. Likewise, the eighth day shall be most honored and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and gathering. You shall do no servile work in it.

23:37  These are the appointed seasons of YHWH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to bring an offering made by fire unto the YHWH, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;

Lv23:37  These are the feasts to the Lord, which ye shall call holy convocations, to offer burnt-offerings to the Lord, whole-burnt-offerings and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings, that for each day on its day

37  These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most honored and most holy, and in them you shall offer oblations to the Lord: holocausts and libations according to the rite of each particular day,

23:38  beside the sabbaths of YHWH, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill-offerings, which ye give unto the YHWH.

Lv23:38  besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides your free-will-offerings, which ye shall give to the Lord.

38  aside from the Sabbaths of the Lord, and your donations, and that which you offer by a vow, or which you give to the Lord spontaneously.

23:39  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 YHWH seven days; on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

39  Therefore, from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you will have gathered together all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days. The first day and the eighth day shall be a Sabbath, that is, a day of rest.

23:40  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 YHWH your God seven days.

23:41  And ye shall keep it a feast unto YHWH seven days in the year; it is a statute for ever in your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventh month.

Lv23:41  It is a perpetual statute for your generations: in the seventh month ye shall keep it.

41  And you shall celebrate its solemnity for seven days each year. This shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month, you shall celebrate the feast,

23:42  Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;

Lv23:42  Seven days ye shall dwell in tabernacles: every native in Israel shall dwell in tents,

42  and you shall live under shelters for seven days. All who are of the family of Israel shall dwell in tabernacles,

23:43  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 YHWH your God.

Lv23:43  that your posterity may see, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tents, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

43  so that your posterity may learn that I caused the sons of Israel to live in tabernacles, when I led them away from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

2  Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously

24:3  Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before YHWH continually; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.

3  Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron set them in order from the evening to the morning before the LORD continually; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations.

Lv24:4  Ye shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.

4  They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.

24:5  And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake.

Lv24:5  And ye shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.

5  You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.

24:6  And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before YHWH.

Lv24:6  And ye shall put them in two rows, each row containing six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.

6  And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.

Lv24:7  And ye shall put on each row pure frankincense and salt; and these things shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.

8  On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.

24:10  And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.

Lv24:10  And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.

10  Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.

24:11  And the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

11  And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan.)

24:12  And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of YHWH.

12  And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,

24:13  And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying

Lv24:13  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13  who spoke to Moses,

24:14  '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.

Lv24:14  Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.

14  saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people stone him.

24:15  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

Lv24:15  And speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.

15  And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,

24:16  And he that blasphemeth the name of YHWH, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.

Lv24:16  And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.

16  and whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.

24:17  And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

Lv24:17  And whosoever shall smite a man and he die, let him die the death.

17  Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.

24:18  And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.

Lv24:18  And whosoever shall smite a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.

18  Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.

24:19  And if a man maim his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him

Lv24:19  And whosoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;

19  Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him

24:20  breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.

20  fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.

24:21  And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.

Lv24:21  Whosoever shall smite a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.

21  Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.

24:22  Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the home-born; for I am YHWH your God.'

Lv24:22  There shall be one judgement for the stranger and the native, for I am the Lord your God.

22  Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. For I am the Lord your God.

24:23  And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses.
