THE BOOK OF
LEVITICUS
CHAPTERS 10-18
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
