And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the
things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the
candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.
And the
remnant of the meat offerings shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a
thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
The remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD.
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.
When you bring to the LORD the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he shall take it to the altar.
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.
But the remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD.
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:
“Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins
unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:
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;
Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays
unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they
violate any of the LORD’s commandments and
incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,
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;
When a leader sins
unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.
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;
And if one of the common people sins
unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.
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.
Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the
carcass of any unclean wild animal or
livestock or
crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.
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:
If someone incurs guilt in one of these ways, he must
confess the sin he has committed,
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:
“If someone acts unfaithfully and sins
unintentionally against any of the LORD’s holy
things, he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an
unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value in silver shekels according to the sanctuary
shekel; it is a guilt offering.
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.
Regarding any holy
thing he has
harmed, he must make
restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, who will make
atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be
forgiven.
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.
If someone sins and
violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.
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;
“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by
deceiving his
neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or
stolen, or if he extorts his
neighbor 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,
once he has
sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has
stolen or taken by
extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,
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.
In this way the priest will make
atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be
forgiven for anything he may have done to
incur guilt.”
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.
Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat,
anyone who is
ceremonially clean may eat it.
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.
If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean,
detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”
And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
And Moses said to them, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.”
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.
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.
And Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”
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?
But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these
things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering
today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”
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:
But the following among all the
teeming life and creatures in the water are
detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.
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;
However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for
hopping on the ground.
All other flying insects that have four legs are
detestable to you.
The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the
mole, the
mouse, any kind of great
lizard,
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.
Anything upon which one of their
carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an
oven or
cooking pot, it must be
smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.
And every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination; it shall not be eaten.
Every creature that moves along the ground is
detestable; it must not be eaten.
Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its
belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are
detestable.
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.
The woman shall continue in
purification from her
bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her
purification are complete.
Whether it be in the
warp, or
woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any
thing made of skin;
any
weave or
knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
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:
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.
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;
But when the priest reexamines it, if the
mildew has not spread in the
fabric,
weave,
knit, or leather article,
Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
the priest is to order the
contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
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.
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.
If the
mildew disappears from the
fabric,
weave, or
knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.
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.
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:
The priest who performs the
cleansing shall present the one to be
cleansed, together with these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Every bed,
whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every
thing,
whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean, and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean.
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.

things must wash his clothes and
bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and
bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
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,
“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them this is what the LORD has commanded:
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.
For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Israelites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living
thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood;
whoever eats it must be cut off.’
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.
Defile not ye
yourselves in any of these
things: for in all these the nations are
defiled which I cast out before you:
Do not
defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these
things the nations I am driving out before you have
defiled themselves.
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.
Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has
profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.
Ye shall not eat any
thing with the blood: neither shall ye use
enchantment, nor observe times.
You must not eat anything with blood still in it. You must not practice
divination or
sorcery.
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.
If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.
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.
If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.
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.
You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these
things, I
abhorred them.
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.
You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become
contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.
No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind,
lame, disfigured, or
deformed;
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.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do not
profane My holy name. I am the LORD.
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.
Tell them that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites
consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. I am the LORD.
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;
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;
or
whoever touches a
crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—
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.
the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
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.
No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the
guest of a priest or his
hired hand eat it.
If the priest’s daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
If the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.
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.
If
anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering to the priest.
And they shall not
profane the holy
things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
The priests must not
profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of
trespass, when they eat their holy
things: for I the LORD do
sanctify them.
by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”
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.
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:
These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to
proclaim as sacred
assemblies for presenting offerings by fire to the LORD—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.
And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
Then the priest shall
reckon unto him the worth of thy
estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine
estimation in that day, as a holy
thing unto the LORD.
then the priest shall
calculate for him the value up to the Year of
Jubilee, and the man shall pay the
assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.
Notwithstanding no devoted
thing, that a man shall
devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted
thing is most holy unto the LORD.
Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
But thou shalt
appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all
things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall
encamp round about the tabernacle.
Instead, you are to
appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
This shall be the service of the sons of
Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy
things:
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of
Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy
thing, lest they die. These
things are the burden of the sons of
Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their
equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the
transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy
things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy
things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and
assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
And every man’s
hallowed things shall be his:
whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”
And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”
And it shall be, if thou go with us,
yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these
things to this entire wicked congregation, which has
conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these
things in this way when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing
aroma to the LORD.
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
Is it a small
thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make
thyself altogether a prince over us?
Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also
appoint yourself as ruler over us?
And Moses said,
Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:
But if the LORD make a new
thing, and the earth open her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that
appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have
provoked the LORD.
But if the LORD brings about something
unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and
swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into
Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.”
Whosoever cometh any
thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”
Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every
thing of the altar, and within the
vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh
nigh shall be put to death.
But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the
veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine
heave offerings of all the
hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the
anointing, and to thy sons, by an
ordinance for ever.
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
This shall be thine of the most holy
things, reserved from the fire: every
oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every
trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
Every
thing that openeth the
matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the
firstborn of man shalt thou surely
redeem, and the
firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou
redeem.
The
firstborn of every
womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely
redeem every
firstborn son and every
firstborn male of unclean animals.
All the
heave offerings of the holy
things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have
heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye
pollute the holy
things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not
incur guilt because of it. But you must not
defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
“We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”
