Leviticus 1
- 1
- And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an
offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and
of the flock.
- 3
- If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish:
he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD.
- 4
- And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted
for him to make atonement for him.
- 5
- And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall
bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
- 6
- And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
- 7
- And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in
order upon the fire:
- 8
- And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon
the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
- 9
- But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on
the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
LORD.
- 10
- And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt
sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
- 11
- And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the
priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
- 12
- And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay
them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
- 13
- But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it
all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the LORD.
- 14
- And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring
his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
- 15
- And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the
altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
- 16
- And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the
east part, by the place of the ashes:
- 17
- And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the
priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt
sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus 2
- 1
- And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine
flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
- 2
- And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his
handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof;
and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
- 3
- And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most
holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
- 4
- And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be
unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
- 5
- And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour
unleavened, mingled with oil.
- 6
- Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
- 7
- And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine
flour with oil.
- 8
- And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and
when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
- 9
- And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it
upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
- 10
- And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a
thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
- 11
- No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye
shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
- 12
- As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they
shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
- 13
- And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou
suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all
thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
- 14
- And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for
the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn
beaten out of full ears.
- 15
- And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
- 16
- And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part
of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
Leviticus 3

- And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd;
whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
- 2
- And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon
the altar round about.
- 3
- And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto
the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round
about upon the altar.
- 9
- And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto
the LORD; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone;
and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
- 10
- And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul
above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
- 11
- And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire
unto the LORD.
- 12
- And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.

congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round
about.

- And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD;
the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
- 15
- And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul
above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
- 16

fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is the LORD's.
- 17
- It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that
ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Leviticus 4
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against
any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and
shall do against any of them:
- 3
- If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him
bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for
a sin offering.
- 4
- And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock
before the LORD.
- 5
- And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the
tabernacle of the congregation:
- 6
- And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times
before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
- 7
- And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense
before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the
blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
- 8
- And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat
that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
- 9
- And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul
above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
- 10
- As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest
shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
- 11
- And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and
his inwards, and his dung,
- 12
- Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where
the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured
out shall he be burnt.
- 13
- And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from
the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of
the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
- 14
- When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall
offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the
congregation.
- 15
- And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock
before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
- 16
- And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of
the congregation:
- 17
- And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times
before the LORD, even before the vail.
- 18
- And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD,
that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the
bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
- 19
- And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
- 20
- And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall
he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven
them.
- 21
- And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the
first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
- 22
- When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the
commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is
guilty;
- 23
- Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his
offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
- 24
- And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they
kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.
- 25
- And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom
of the altar of burnt offering.
- 26
- And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace
offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it
shall be forgiven him.
- 27
- And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat
against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done,
and be guilty;
- 28
- Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his
offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
- 29
- And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering
in the place of the burnt offering.
- 30
- And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the
horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the
bottom of the altar.
- 31
- And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the
sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet
savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be
forgiven him.
- 32
- And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
- 33
- And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin
offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
- 34
- And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it
upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at
the bottom of the altar:
- 35
- And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from
the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar,
according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an
atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus 5
- 1
- And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath
seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
- 2
- Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a
carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden
from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
- 3
- Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be
defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
- 4
- Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it
be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it,
then he shall be guilty in one of these.
- 5
- And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess
that he hath sinned in that thing:
- 6
- And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned,
a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest
shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
- 7
- And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he
hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
- 8
- And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin
offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
- 9
- And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and
the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
- 10
- And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the
priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be
forgiven him.
- 11
- But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that
sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin
offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for
it is a sin offering.
- 12
- Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even
a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto
the LORD: it is a sin offering.
- 13
- And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned
in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a
meat offering.
- 14
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 15
- If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD;
then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the
flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a
trespass offering.
- 16
- And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add
the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
- 17
- And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the
commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his
iniquity.
- 18
- And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a
trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
- 19
- It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Leviticus 6
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in
that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by
violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
- 3
- Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any
of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
- 4
- Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that
which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which
was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
- 5
- Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the
principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it
appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
- 6
- And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the
flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
- 7
- And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven
him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
- 8
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 9
- Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the
burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the
fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
- 10
- And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon
his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on
the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
- 11
- And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes
without the camp unto a clean place.
- 12
- And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the
priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it;
and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
- 13
- The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
- 14
- And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the
LORD, before the altar.
- 15
- And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil
thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon
the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the LORD.
- 16
- And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it
be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall
eat it.
- 17
- It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my
offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass
offering.
- 18
- All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for
ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that
toucheth them shall be holy.
- 19
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 20
- This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in
the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering
perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
- 21
- In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and
the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
- 22
- And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute
for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
- 23
- For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
- 24
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 25
- Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the
place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD:
it is most holy.
- 26
- The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten,
in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
- 27
- Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of
the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the
holy place.
- 28
- But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a
brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
- 29
- All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
- 30
- And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the
congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in
the fire.
Leviticus 7
- 1
- Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
- 2
- In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering:
and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
- 3
- And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the
inwards,
- 4
- And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul
that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
- 5
- And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the
LORD: it is a trespass offering.
- 6
- Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it
is most holy.
- 7
- As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the
priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
- 8
- And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to
himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
- 9
- And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the
fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.
- 10
- And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have,
one as much as another.
- 11
- And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the
LORD.
- 12
- If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of
thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil,
and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
- 13
- Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of
thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
- 14
- And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the
LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
- 15
- And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten
the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
- 16
- But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be
eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of
it shall be eaten:
- 17
- But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with
fire.
- 18
- And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the
third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth
it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
- 19
- And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with
fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.
- 20
- But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain
unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his
people.
- 21
- Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any
unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of
peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his
people.
- 22
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 23
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of
sheep, or of goat.
- 24
- And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with
beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
- 25
- For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
- 26
- Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of
your dwellings.
- 27
- Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off
from his people.
- 28
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 29
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace
offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his
peace offerings.
- 30
- His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the
breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the
LORD.
- 31
- And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and
his sons'.
- 32
- And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the
sacrifices of your peace offerings.
- 33
- He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat,
shall have the right shoulder for his part.
- 34
- For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from
off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and
unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
- 35
- This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of
the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto
the LORD in the priest's office;
- 36
- Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he
anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
- 37
- This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering,
and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace
offerings;
- 38
- Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children
of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.

- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock
for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
- 3
- And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
- 4
- And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
- 5
- And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be
done.
- 6
- And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
- 7
- And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the
robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod,
and bound it unto him therewith.
- 8
- And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the
Thummim.
- 9
- And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he
put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 10
- And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein,
and sanctified them.
- 11
- And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his
vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
- 12
- And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
- 13
- And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles,
and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 14
- And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands
upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
- 15
- And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round
about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the
altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
- 16
- And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the
two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
- 17
- But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the
camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 18
- And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands
upon the head of the ram.
- 19
- And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
- 20
- And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
- 21
- And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the
altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the
LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 22
- And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their
hands upon the head of the ram.
- 23
- And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's
right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
- 24
- And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear,
and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and
Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
- 25
- And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the
caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
- 26
- And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one
unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and
upon the right shoulder:
- 27
- And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave
offering before the LORD.
- 28
- And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt
offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
- 29
- And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the
ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 30
- And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and
sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons'
garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons'
garments with him.
- 31
- And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of
consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
- 32
- And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
- 33
- And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days,
until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
- 34
- As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for
you.
- 35
- Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night
seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
- 36
- So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 9
- 1
- And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the
elders of Israel;
- 2
- And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt
offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
- 3
- And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for
a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a
burnt offering;
- 4
- Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat
offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
- 5
- And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation:
and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
- 6
- And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the
glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
- 7
- And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt
offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of
the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
- 8
- Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was
for himself.
- 9
- And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood,
and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the
altar:
- 10
- But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt
upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 11
- And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
- 12
- And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he
sprinkled round about upon the altar.
- 13
- And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head:
and he burnt them upon the altar.
- 14
- And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the
altar.
- 15
- And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for
the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
- 16
- And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
- 17
- And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the
altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
- 18
- He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for
the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the
altar round about,
- 19
- And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the
inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
- 20
- And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
- 21
- And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD;
as Moses commanded.
- 22
- And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from
offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
- 23
- And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and
blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
- 24
- And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt
offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their
faces.
Leviticus 10
- 1
- And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire
therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he
commanded them not.
- 2
- And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
- 3
- Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified
in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held
his peace.
- 4
- And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said
unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
- 5
- So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
- 6
- And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your
heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people:
but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath
kindled.
- 7
- And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye
die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of
Moses.
- 8
- And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
- 9
- Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations:
- 10
- And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
- 11
- And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken
unto them by the hand of Moses.
- 12
- And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left,
Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat
it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
- 13
- And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the
sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
- 14
- And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy
sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given
out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
- 15
- The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire
of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy
sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
- 16
- And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and
he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
- 17
- Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy,
and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for
them before the LORD?
- 18
- Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have
eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
- 19
- And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and
their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten
the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
- 20
- And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus 11
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among
all the beasts that are on the earth.
- 3
- Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts,
that shall ye eat.
- 4
- Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide
the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is
unclean unto you.
- 5
- And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto
you.
- 6
- And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto
you.
- 7
- And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the
cud; he is unclean to you.
- 8
- Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean
to you.
- 9
- These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the
waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
- 10
- And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move
in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an
abomination unto you:
- 11
- They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye
shall have their carcases in abomination.
- 12
- Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
- 13
- And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be
eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
- 14
- And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
- 15
- Every raven after his kind;
- 16
- And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
- 17
- And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
- 18
- And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
- 19
- And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
- 20
- All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
- 21
- Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have
legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
- 22
- Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his
kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
- 23
- But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto
you.
- 24
- And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be
unclean until the even.
- 25
- And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even.
- 26
- The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor
cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
- 27
- And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four,
those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
- 28
- And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the
even: they are unclean unto you.
- 29
- These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the
earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
- 30
- And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
- 31
- These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be
dead, shall be unclean until the even.
- 32
- And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean;
whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be,
wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the
even; so it shall be cleansed.
- 33
- And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be
unclean; and ye shall break it.
- 34
- Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and
all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
- 35
- And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it
be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be
unclean unto you.
- 36
- Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but
that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
- 37
- And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall
be clean.
- 38
- But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it
shall be unclean unto you.
- 39
- And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall
be unclean until the even.
- 40
- And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the
even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until
the even.
- 41
- And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall
not be eaten.
- 42
- Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath
more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for
they are an abomination.
- 43
- Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither
shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
- 44
- For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be
holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
- 45
- For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye
shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
- 46
- This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth
in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
- 47
- To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may
be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Leviticus 12
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a
man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation
for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
- 3
- And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
- 4
- And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she
shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her
purifying be fulfilled.
- 5
- But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation:
and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
- 6
- And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she
shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a
turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto
the priest:
- 7
- Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be
cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a
female.
- 8
- And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young
pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest
shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Leviticus 13
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
- 2
- When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it
be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto
Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
- 3
- And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in
the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh,
it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
- 4
- If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than
the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that
hath the plague seven days:
- 5
- And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his
sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him
up seven days more:
- 6
- And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be
somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him
clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
- 7
- But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the
priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again.
- 8
- And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
- 9
- When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
- 10
- And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it
have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
- 11
- It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him
unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
- 12
- And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him
that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
- 13
- Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh,
he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
- 14
- But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
- 15
- And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw
flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
- 16
- Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the
priest;
- 17
- And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the
priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
- 18
- The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
- 19
- And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and
somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
- 20
- And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the
hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of
leprosy broken out of the boil.
- 21
- But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be
not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven
days:
- 22
- And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is a plague.
- 23
- But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the
priest shall pronounce him clean.
- 24
- Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick
flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
- 25
- Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be
turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the
burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
- 26
- But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot,
and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut
him up seven days:
- 27
- And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in
the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
- 28
- And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat
dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is
an inflammation of the burning.
- 29
- If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
- 30
- Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the
skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean:
it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
- 31
- And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight
deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up
him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
- 32
- And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall
spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than
the skin;
- 33
- He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him
that hath the scall seven days more:
- 34
- And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be
not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall
pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
- 35
- But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
- 36
- Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the
priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
- 37
- But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up
therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
- 38
- If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright
spots;
- 39
- Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh
be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
- 40
- And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
- 41
- And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is
forehead bald: yet is he clean.
- 42
- And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a
leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
- 43
- Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white
reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of
the flesh;
- 44
- He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his
plague is in his head.
- 45
- And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and
he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
- 46
- All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he
shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
- 47
- The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a
linen garment;
- 48
- Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in
any thing made of skin;
- 49
- And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the
warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be
shewed unto the priest:
- 50
- And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven
days:
- 51
- And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the
garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of
skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
- 52
- He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or
any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt
in the fire.
- 53
- And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
- 54
- Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he
shall shut it up seven days more:
- 55
- And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the
plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou
shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
- 56
- And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of
it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or
out of the woof:
- 57
- And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any
thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with
fire.
- 58
- And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou
shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time,
and shall be clean.
- 59
- This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the
warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Leviticus 14
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto
the priest:
- 3
- And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold,
if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
- 4
- Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and
clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
- 5
- And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over
running water:
- 6
- As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the
hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed
over the running water:
- 7
- And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and
shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
- 8
- And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and
wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp,
and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
- 9
- But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and
his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his
clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
- 10
- And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of
the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
- 11
- And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and
those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
- 12
- And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the
log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
- 13
- And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the
burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the
trespass offering: it is most holy:
- 14
- And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest
shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
- 15
- And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own
left hand:
- 16
- And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall
sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:
- 17
- And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the
right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon
the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:
- 18
- And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of
him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the
LORD.
- 19
- And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be
cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
- 20
- And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and
the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
- 21
- And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass
offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour
mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
- 22
- And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall
be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
- 23
- And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
- 24
- And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the
priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
- 25
- And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of
the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that
is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his
right foot:
- 26
- And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
- 27
- And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left
hand seven times before the LORD:
- 28
- And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of
him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe
of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
- 29
- And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him
that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
- 30
- And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can
get;
- 31
- Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is
to be cleansed before the LORD.
- 32
- This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get
that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
- 33
- And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
- 34
- When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put
the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
- 35
- And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me
there is as it were a plague in the house:
- 36
- Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to
see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the
priest shall go in to see the house:
- 37
- And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house
with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
- 38
- Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the
house seven days:
- 39
- And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the
plague be spread in the walls of the house;
- 40
- Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and
they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
- 41
- And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out
the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
- 42
- And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he
shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
- 43
- And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away
the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
- 44
- Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house,
it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
- 45
- And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the
morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
- 46
- Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean
until the even.
- 47
- And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house
shall wash his clothes.
- 48
- And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not
spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the
house clean, because the plague is healed.
- 49
- And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and
hyssop:
- 50
- And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
- 51
- And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird,
and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the
house seven times:
- 52
- And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water,
and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the
scarlet:
- 53
- But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an
atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
- 54
- This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
- 55
- And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
- 56
- And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
- 57
- To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
Leviticus 15
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue
out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
- 3
- And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or
his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
- 4
- Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he
sitteth, shall be unclean.
- 5
- And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and
be unclean until the even.
- 6
- And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 7
- And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 8
- And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 9
- And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
- 10
- And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and
he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
- 11
- And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water,
he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 12
- And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and
every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
- 13
- And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself
seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water,
and shall be clean.
- 14
- And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and
come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them
unto the priest:
- 15
- And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
- 16
- And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in
water, and be unclean until the even.
- 17
- And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed
with water, and be unclean until the even.
- 18
- The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe
themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 19
- And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put
apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
- 20
- And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also
that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
- 21
- And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and
be unclean until the even.
- 22
- And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 23
- And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he
shall be unclean until the even.
- 24
- And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean
seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
- 25
- And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation,
or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her
uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
- 26
- Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of
her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of
her separation.
- 27
- And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
- 28
- But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and
after that she shall be clean.
- 29
- And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and
bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
- 30
- And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of
her uncleanness.
- 31
- Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not
in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
- 32
- This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is
defiled therewith;
- 33
- And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and
of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
Leviticus 16
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they
offered before the LORD, and died;
- 2
- And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all
times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark;
that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
- 3
- Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and
a ram for a burnt offering.
- 4
- He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his
flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be
attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put
them on.
- 5
- And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats
for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
- 6
- And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an
atonement for himself, and for his house.
- 7
- And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
- 8
- And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot
for the scapegoat.
- 9
- And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin
offering.
- 10
- But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before
the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the
wilderness.
- 11
- And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall
make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin
offering which is for himself:
- 12
- And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the
LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
- 13
- And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the
incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
- 14
- And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the
mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his
finger seven times.
- 15
- Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his
blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
- 16
- And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the
children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he
do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their
uncleanness.
- 17
- And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make
an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself,
and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
- 18
- And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for
it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it
upon the horns of the altar round about.
- 19
- And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it,
and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
- 20
- And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
- 21
- And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him
all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their
sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit
man into the wilderness:
- 22
- And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he
shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
- 23
- And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the
linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them
there:
- 24
- And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and
come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make
an atonement for himself, and for the people.
- 25
- And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
- 26
- And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his
flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
- 27
- And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was
brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp;
and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
- 28
- And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp.
- 29
- And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth
day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of
your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
- 30
- For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may
be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
- 31
- It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute
for ever.
- 32
- And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the
priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the
linen clothes, even the holy garments:
- 33
- And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement
for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement
for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
- 34
- And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children
of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus 17
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto
them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
- 3
- What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat,
in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
- 4
- And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an
offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that
man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
- 5
- To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in
the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto
the LORD.
- 6
- And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
- 7
- And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a
whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
- 8
- And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
- 9
- And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it
unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
- 10
- And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn
among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that
eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
- 11
- For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to
make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the
soul.
- 12
- Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither
shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
- 13
- And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn
among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even
pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
- 14
- For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I
said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the
life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
- 15
- And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with
beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be
clean.
- 16
- But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 18
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
- 3
- After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the
doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk
in their ordinances.
- 4
- Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your
God.
- 5
- Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live
in them: I am the LORD.
- 6
- None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their
nakedness: I am the LORD.
- 7
- The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she
is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
- 8
- The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
- 9
- The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother,
whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
- 10
- The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness
thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
- 11
- The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy
sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
- 12
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near
kinswoman.
- 13
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's
near kinswoman.
- 14
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to
his wife: she is thine aunt.
- 15
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou
shalt not uncover her nakedness.
- 16
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's
nakedness.
- 17
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou
take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they
are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
- 18
- Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness,
beside the other in her life time.
- 19
- Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is
put apart for her uncleanness.
- 20
- Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with
her.
- 21
- And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt
thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
- 22
- Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
- 23
- Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any
woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
- 24
- Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are
defiled which I cast out before you:
- 25
- And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land
itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
- 26
- Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these
abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
- 27
- (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and
the land is defiled;)
- 28
- That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that
were before you.
- 29
- For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them
shall be cut off from among their people.
- 30
- Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable
customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am
the LORD your God.
Leviticus 19
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall
be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
- 3
- Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD
your God.
- 4
- Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
- 5
- And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your
own will.
- 6
- It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until
the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
- 7
- And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
- 8
- Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the
hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
- 9
- And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy
field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
- 10
- And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy
vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
- 11
- Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
- 12
- And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy
God: I am the LORD.
- 13
- Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired
shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
- 14
- Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear
thy God: I am the LORD.
- 15
- Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the
poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy
neighbour.
- 16
- Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand
against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD.
- 17
- Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy
neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
- 18
- Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
- 19
- Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind:
thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen
and woollen come upon thee.
- 20
- And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband,
and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be
put to death, because she was not free.
- 21
- And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.
- 22
- And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering
before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be
forgiven him.
- 23
- And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for
food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as
uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
- 24
- But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
- 25
- And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the
increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
- 26
- Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe
times.
- 27
- Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy
beard.
- 28
- Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you:
I am the LORD.
- 29
- Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to
whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
- 30
- Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
- 31
- Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by
them: I am the LORD your God.
- 32
- Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear
thy God: I am the LORD.
- 33
- And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
- 34
- But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and
thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God.
- 35
- Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
- 36
- Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD
your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
- 37
- Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the
LORD.
Leviticus 20
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto
Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with
stones.
- 3
- And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people;
because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my
holy name.
- 4
- And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth
of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
- 5
- Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off,
and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their
people.
- 6
- And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go
a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from
among his people.
- 7
- Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
- 8
- And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
- 9
- For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he
hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
- 10
- And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth
adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put
to death.
- 11
- And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness:
both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
- 12
- And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death:
they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
- 13
- If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an
abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
- 14
- And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with
fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
- 15
- And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the
beast.
- 16
- And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman,
and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
- 17
- And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and
see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut
off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear
his iniquity.
- 18
- And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her
nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her
blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
- 19
- And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's
sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
- 20
- And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness:
they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
- 21
- And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered
his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
- 22
- Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the
land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
- 23
- And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for
they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
- 24
- But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to
possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have
separated you from other people.
- 25
- Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean
fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by
any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as
unclean.
- 26
- And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other
people, that ye should be mine.
- 27
- A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be
put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 21
- 1
- And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto
them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
- 2
- But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and
for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
- 3
- And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her
may he be defiled.
- 4
- But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
- 5
- They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of
their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
- 6
- They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the
offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore
they shall be holy.
- 7
- They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman
put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.
- 8
- Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be
holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.
- 9
- And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she
profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
- 10
- And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was
poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor
rend his clothes;
- 11
- Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his
mother;
- 12
- Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the
crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
- 13
- And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
- 14
- A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he
shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
- 15
- Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
- 16
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 17
- Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any
blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
- 18
- For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a
lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
- 19
- Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
- 20
- Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed,
or hath his stones broken;
- 21
- No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the
offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the
bread of his God.
- 22
- He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
- 23
- Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a
blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
- 24
- And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Leviticus 22
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of
the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they
hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
- 3
- Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto
the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness
upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
- 4
- What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not
eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by
the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
- 5
- Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of
whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
- 6
- The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of
the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
- 7
- And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things;
because it is his food.
- 8
- That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself
therewith; I am the LORD.
- 9
- They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore,
if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
- 10
- There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired
servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
- 11
- But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born
in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
- 12
- If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering
of the holy things.
- 13
- But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned
unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there
shall be no stranger eat thereof.
- 14
- And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof
unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
- 15
- And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer
unto the LORD;
- 16
- Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I
the LORD do sanctify them.
- 17
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 18
- Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto
them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will
offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will
offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
- 19
- Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or
of the goats.
- 20
- But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable
for you.
- 21
- And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his
vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there
shall be no blemish therein.
- 22
- Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer
these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
- 23
- Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that
mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
- 24
- Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut;
neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
- 25
- Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these;
because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted
for you.
- 26
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 27
- When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days
under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an
offering made by fire unto the LORD.
- 28
- And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
- 29
- And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own
will.
- 30
- On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am
the LORD.
- 31
- Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
- 32
- Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of
Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
- 33
- That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 23
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
- 3
- Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy
convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your
dwellings.
- 4
- These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in
their seasons.
- 5
- In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
- 6
- And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the
LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
- 7
- In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
- 8
- But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day
is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
- 9
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 10
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land
which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of
the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
- 11
- And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after
the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
- 12
- And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the
first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
- 13
- And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil,
an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof
shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
- 14
- And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day
that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
- 15
- And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye
brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
- 16
- Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall
offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
- 17
- Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be
of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
- 18
- And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one
young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their
meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour
unto the LORD.
- 19
- Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the
first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
- 20
- And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering
before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
- 21
- And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you:
ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings
throughout your generations.
- 22
- And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the
corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy
harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
- 23
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 24
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the
month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
- 25
- Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
- 26
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 27
- Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall
be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD.
- 28
- And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an
atonement for you before the LORD your God.
- 29
- For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut
off from among his people.
- 30
- And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I
destroy from among his people.
- 31
- Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings.
- 32
- It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth
day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
- 33
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 34
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall
be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
- 35
- On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
- 36
- Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day
shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
- 37
- These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to
offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a
sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
- 38
- Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and
beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
- 39
- Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of
the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a
sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
- 40
- And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm
trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice
before the LORD your God seven days.
- 41
- And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute
for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
- 42
- Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
- 43
- That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths,
when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
- 44
- And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Leviticus 24
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- Command
