Leviticus 20
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Again, thou shalt say to the
children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he
shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with
stones. [3] And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from
among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my
sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. [4] And if the people of the land do
any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech,
and kill him not: [5] Then I will set my face against that man, and against
his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to
commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. [6] And the soul that
turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a
whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut
him off from among his people. [7] Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye
holy: for I am the LORD your God.
[8] And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify
you.
[9] For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to
death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
[10] And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he
that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death. [11] And the man that lieth with his
father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely
be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
[12] And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be
put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
[13] If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them.
[14] And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be
burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. [15]
And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall
slay the beast.
[16] And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt
kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them.
[17] And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a
wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath
uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. [18] And if a
man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her
nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the
fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their
people.
[19] And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of
thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their
iniquity.
[20] And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. [21]
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath
uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. [22] Ye shall
therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the
land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. [23] And ye
shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for
they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
[24] But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it
unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD
your God, which have separated you from other people. [25] Ye shall therefore
put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and
clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by
any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated
from you as unclean. [26] And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am
holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. [27] A
man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall
surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall
be upon them.
Leviticus 21
[1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron,
and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
[2] But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for
his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, [3]
And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband;
for her may he be defiled. [4] But he shall not defile himself, being a chief
man among his people, to profane himself.
[5] They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off
the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. [6] They
shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the
offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer:
therefore they shall be holy. [7] They shall not take a wife that is a whore,
or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he
is holy unto his God. [8] Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth
the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which
sanctify you, am holy. [9] And the daughter of any priest, if she profane
herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt
with fire. [10] And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose
head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the
garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; [11] Neither shall
he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his
mother;
[12] Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of
his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the
LORD.
[13] And he shall take a wife in her virginity. [14] A widow, or a divorced
woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a
virgin of his own people to wife. [15] Neither shall he profane his seed among
his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [17] Speak unto Aaron, saying,
Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let
him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
[18] For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a
blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
[19] Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, [20] Or crookbackt, or a
dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath
his stones broken; [21] No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the
priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he
hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. [22] He
shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
[23] Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar,
because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD
do sanctify them.
[24] And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children
of Israel.
Leviticus 22
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto Aaron and to his
sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of
Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they
hallow unto me: I am the LORD. [3] Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your
seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the
children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that
soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
[4] What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue;
he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any
thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
[5] Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean,
or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
[6] The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and
shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. [7] And
when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy
things; because it is his food. [8] That which dieth of itself, or is torn
with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD. [9]
They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die
therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them. [10] There shall
no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired
servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. [11] But if the priest buy any soul
with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they
shall eat of his meat. [12] If the priest's daughter also be married unto a
stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. [13] But if the
priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned
unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat:
but there shall no stranger eat thereof. [14] And if a man eat of the holy
thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall
give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
[15] And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer unto the LORD;
[16] Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy
things: for I the LORD do sanctify them. [17] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, [18] Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for
all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt
offering;
[19] Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of
the sheep, or of the goats.
[20] But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not
be acceptable for you.
[21] And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to
accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be
perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. [22] Blind, or
broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer
these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto
the LORD.
[23] Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in
his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it
shall not be accepted.
[24] Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or
broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land. [25]
Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of
these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they
shall not be accepted for you. [26] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[27] When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be
seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be
accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD. [28] And whether it be
cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
[29] And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer
it at your own will.
[30] On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the
morrow: I am the LORD.
[31] Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. [32]
Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the
children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you, [33] That brought you out
of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 23
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.
[5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened
bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. [7] In the first
day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8] But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in
the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[9] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [10] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto
you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the
firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
[11] And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on
the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. [12] And ye shall offer
that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year
for a burnt offering unto the LORD. [13] And the meat offering thereof shall
be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire
unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of
wine, the fourth part of an hin. [14] And ye shall eat neither bread, nor
parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an
offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings. [15] And ye shall count unto you from the
morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave
offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty
days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. [17] Ye shall
bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall
be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits
unto the LORD.
[18] And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the
first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt
offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings,
even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD. [19] Then ye
shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the
first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. [20] And the priest shall wave
them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD,
with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
[21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy
convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a
statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. [22] And
when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of
the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any
gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the
stranger: I am the LORD your God. [23] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[24] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the
first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of
trumpets, an holy convocation.
[25] Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made
by fire unto the LORD.
[26] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [27] Also on the tenth day of this
seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD. [28] And ye shall do no work in that same day: for
it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your
God. [29] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same
day, he shall be cut off from among his people. [30] And whatsoever soul it be
that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among
his people. [31] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings. [32] It shall be unto you a
sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the
month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
[33] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [34] Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of
tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
[35] On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
work therein.
[36] Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the
eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do
no servile work therein.
[37] These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing
upon his day:
[38] Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all
your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
[39] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in
the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the
first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. [40]
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of
palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye
shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. [41] And ye shall keep it a
feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in
your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
[42] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall
dwell in booths:
[43] That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to
dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God.
[44] And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
