These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
And every beast that parteth the
hoof,
and cleaveth the
cleft into two claws,
and cheweth the
cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
You may eat any animal that has a split
hoof divided in two
and that chews the
cud.
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that
chew the
cud, or of them that divide the
cloven hoof; as the
camel,
and the
hare,
and the
coney: for they
chew the
cud, but divide not the
hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
But of those that
chew the
cud or have a completely divided
hoof, you are not to eat the following: the
camel, the
rabbit, or the rock
badger.
And the
swine, because it divideth the
hoof, yet cheweth not the
cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead
carcase.
Although they
chew the
cud, they do not have a divided
hoof. They are unclean for you, as well as the pig; though it has a divided
hoof, it does not
chew the
cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its
carcass.
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle,
and ossifrage,
and the
ospray,
And every
raven after his kind,
And the
owl,
and the night
hawk,
and the cuckow,
and the
hawk after his kind,
the little
owl, the great
owl, the white
owl,
And every
creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an
alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not
seethe a
kid in his mother’s milk.
You are not to eat any
carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates,
and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not
cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the
tithe of thy corn, of thy wine,
and of thine oil,
and the firstlings of thy herds
and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine,
and oil,

firstborn of your herds
and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
And thou shalt
bestow that money for
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for
whatsoever thy soul desireth:
and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God,
and thou shalt
rejoice, thou,
and thine household,
Then you may
spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God
and rejoice with your household.

and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

and eat
and be satisfied.

bless you in all the work of your hands.

creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’S release.
This is the manner of remission: Every
creditor shall
cancel what he has
loaned to his
neighbor. He is not to collect anything from his
neighbor or brother, because the LORD’s time of release has been proclaimed.
Only if thou carefully
hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
if only you obey the LORD your God
and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you
today.
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee:
and thou shalt
lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not
borrow;
and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised, you will
lend to many nations but
borrow from none; you will rule over many nations but be ruled by none.
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him,
and shalt surely
lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

and freely
loan him whatever he needs.

and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother,
and thou givest him
nought;
and he cry unto the LORD against thee,
and it be sin unto thee.
Be careful not to
harbor this wicked thought in your heart: “The seventh year, the year of release, is near,” so that you look upon your poor brother begrudgingly
and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you,
and you will be guilty of sin.
Thou shalt surely give him,
and thine heart shall not be
grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in all thy works,
and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
Give generously to him,
and do not let your heart be
grieved when you do so.
And because of this the LORD your God will
bless you in all your work
and in everything to which you put your hand.
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor,

needy, in thy land.

and to the poor
and needy in your land.

Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock,
and out of thy floor,
and out of thy winepress: of that
wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

wast a
bondman in the land of Egypt,

today.
And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
But if your servant says to you, ‘I do not want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your household and is well off with you,
Then thou shalt take an aul,
and thrust it through his ear unto the door,
and he shall be thy servant for ever.
And also unto thy
maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
then take an
awl and pierce it through his ear into the door,
and he will become your servant for life.
And treat your
maidservant the same way.
It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double
hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years:
and the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in all that thou doest.

hardship to set your servant free, because his six years of service were worth twice the wages of a
hired hand.
And the LORD your God will
bless you in all you do.

gazelle or a deer.

and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.

maidservant,

Levite that is within thy gates,

and the fatherless,
and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
and you shall
rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons
and daughters, your menservants
and maidservants,
and the
Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless,

and daughters, your menservants
and maidservants,
and the
Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless,
and the widows among you.
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall
bless thee in all thine increase,
and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely
rejoice.
For seven days you shall
celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will
bless you in all your produce
and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.
Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of
unleavened bread,
and in the feast of weeks,
and in the feast of tabernacles:
and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
You are to
appoint judges
and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
Thou shalt not
wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift
doth blind the eyes of the wise,
and pervert the words of the righteous.
Do not deny justice or show
partiality. Do not accept a
bribe, for a
bribe blinds the eyes of the wise
and twists the words of the righteous.
That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live,
and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

and do not set up for
yourselves a sacred
pillar, which the LORD your God hates.

and going to worship other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—which I have forbidden—
And it be told thee,
and thou hast heard of it,
and enquired
diligently,
and, behold, it be true,
and the thing certain, that such
abomination is wrought in Israel:
and if it is reported
and you hear about it, you must
investigate it thoroughly. If the report is true
and such an
abomination has happened in Israel,
Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
you must bring out to your gates the man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you must stone that person to death.
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

purge the evil from among you.
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood
and blood, between
plea and plea,

and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise,
and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
If a case is too difficult for you to judge, whether the controversy within your gates is regarding
bloodshed, lawsuits, or assaults, you must go up to the place the LORD your God will choose.
And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites,
and unto the judge that shall be in those days,
and enquire;
and they shall
shew thee the sentence of judgment:
You are to go to the
Levitical priests
and to the judge who presides at that time. Inquire of them,
and they will give you a
verdict in the case.
And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall
shew thee;
and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
You must
abide by the
verdict they give you at the place the LORD will choose. Be careful to do everything they
instruct you,
According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee,
and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall
shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
according to the terms of law they give
and the
verdict they
proclaim. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from the decision they declare to you.
And the man that will do
presumptuously,
and will not
hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die:
and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
But the man who acts
presumptuously, refusing to
listen either to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, or to the judge, must be put to death. You must
purge the evil from Israel.
And all the people shall hear,
and fear,
and do no more
presumptuously.
Then all the people will hear
and be afraid,
and will no longer
behave arrogantly.
When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

astray. He must not
accumulate for himself large amounts of silver
and gold.
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
When he is seated on his royal throne, he must write for himself a copy of this instruction on a
scroll in the presence of the
Levitical priests.
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by carefully observing all the words of this instruction and these statutes.
That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren,
and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may
prolong his days in his kingdom, he,
and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Then his heart will not be
exalted above his countrymen,
and he will not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left, in order that he
and his sons may reign many years over his kingdom in Israel.
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
The
Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD; that is their inheritance.
And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep;
and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder,
and the two cheeks,
and the
maw.
This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine,
and of thine oil,
and the first of the
fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine,
and oil,
and the first wool
sheared from your flock.
For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

And if a
Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he
sojourned,
and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
Now if a
Levite moves from any town of residence throughout Israel
and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD will choose,
For all that do these things are an
abomination unto the LORD:
and because of these abominations the LORD thy God
doth drive them out from before thee.
For
whoever does these things is
detestable to the LORD.
And because of these
detestable things, the LORD your God is driving out the nations before you.
For these nations, which thou shalt possess,
hearkened unto observers of times,
and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
Though these nations, which you will dispossess,
listen to conjurers
and diviners, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.
And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Then the LORD said to me, “They have spoken well.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.
And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever will not
hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
And I will hold accountable
anyone who does not
listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name.
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?”
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it
presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD
and the message does not come to pass or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken
presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land He is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,
Thou shalt prepare thee a way,
and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to
inherit, into three parts, that every
slayer may
flee thither.
You are to build roads for
yourselves and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any
manslayer can
flee to these cities.
And this is the case of the
slayer, which shall
flee thither, that he may live:
Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he
hated not in time past;
Now this is the situation regarding the
manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his
neighbor accidentally, without intending to
harm him:
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to
hew wood,
and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the
axe to cut down the tree,
and the head slippeth from the
helve,
and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall
flee unto one of those cities,
and live:
If he goes into the forest with his
neighbor to cut timber
and swings his
axe to
chop down a tree, but the
blade flies off the handle
and strikes
and kills his
neighbor, he may
flee to one of these cities to save his life.
Lest the
avenger of the blood pursue the
slayer, while his heart is hot,
and overtake him, because the way is long,
and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he
hated him not in time past.
Otherwise, the
avenger of blood might pursue the
manslayer in a
rage, overtake him if the distance is great,
and strike him dead though he did not deserve to die, since he did not intend any
harm.
And if the LORD thy God
enlarge thy coast, as he hath
sworn unto thy fathers,
and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as He
swore to your fathers,
and gives you all the land He promised them,
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you
today, loving the LORD your God
and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more cities to these three.
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
Thus innocent blood will not be shed in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that you will not be guilty of
bloodshed.
But if any man
hate his neighbour,
and lie in wait for him,
and rise up against him,
and smite him
mortally that he die,
and fleeth into one of these cities:
If, however, a man hates his
neighbor and lies in wait, attacks him
and kills him,
and then flees to one of these cities,
Then the elders of his city shall send
and fetch him thence,
and deliver him into the hand of the
avenger of blood, that he may die.
the elders of his city must send for him, bring him back,
and hand him over to the
avenger of blood to die.
Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
both parties to the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD, before the priests and judges who are in office at that time.
And the judges shall make
diligent inquisition:
and, behold, if the witness be a false witness,
and hath
testified falsely against his brother;
The judges shall
investigate thoroughly,
and if the witness is
proven to be a
liar who has falsely accused his brother,
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you.
And thine eye shall not
pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
You must show no
pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand,
and foot for foot.
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies,
and seest horses,
and chariots,
and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
When you go out to war against your enemies
and see horses,
chariots,
and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
And it shall be, when ye are come
nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach
and speak unto the people,
When you are about to go into battle, the priest is to come forward and address the army,
