03:021:024 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.

03:022:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:022:002 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.

03:022:003 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.

03:022:004 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;

03:022:005 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;

03:022:006 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.

03:022:007 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

03:022:008 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.

03:022:009 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.

03:022:010 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.

03:022:011 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.

03:022:012 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

03:022:013 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.

03:022:014 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.

03:022:015 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;

03:022:016 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

03:022:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:022:018 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;

03:022:019 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

03:022:020 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

03:022:021 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.

03:022:022 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.

03:022:023 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.

03:022:024 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.

03:022:025 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.

03:022:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:022:027 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.

03:022:028 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

03:022:029 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.

03:022:030 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.

03:022:031 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.

03:022:032 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,

03:022:033 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.

03:023:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:002 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.

03:023:003 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.

03:023:004 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

03:023:005 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.

03:023:006 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.

03:023:007 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

03:023:008 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.

03:023:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:010 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:

03:023:011 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.

03:023:012 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.

03:023:013 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.

03:023:014 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.

03:023:015 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:

03:023:016 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

03:023:017 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.

03:023:018 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.

03:023:019 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.

03:023:020 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.

03:023:021 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.

03:023:022 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.

03:023:023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:024 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.

03:023:025 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

03:023:026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:027 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.

03:023:028 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.

03:023:029 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

03:023:030 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

03:023:031 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

03:023:032 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.

03:023:033 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:023:034 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.

03:023:035 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

03:023:036 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.

03:023:037 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:

03:023:038 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.

03:023:039 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.

03:023:040 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.

03:023:041 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.

03:023:042 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

03:023:043 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.

03:023:044 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

03:024:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:024:002 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

03:024:003 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

03:024:004 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.

03:024:005 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

03:024:006 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.

03:024:007 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

03:024:008 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

03:024:009 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.

03:024:010 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

03:024:011 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

03:024:012 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

03:024:013 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:024:014 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

03:024:015 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

03:024:016 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

03:024:017 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

03:024:018 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

03:024:019 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

03:024:020 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

03:024:021 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

03:024:022 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

03:024:023 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

03:025:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

03:025:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

03:025:003 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

03:025:004 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

03:025:005 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

03:025:006 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.

03:025:007 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

03:025:008 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

03:025:009 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

03:025:010 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

03:025:011 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

03:025:012 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

03:025:013 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

03:025:014 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

03:025:015 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

03:025:016 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

03:025:017 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

03:025:018 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

03:025:019 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

03:025:020 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

03:025:021 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

03:025:022 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

03:025:023 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

03:025:024 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

03:025:025 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

03:025:026 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

03:025:027 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

03:025:028 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

03:025:029 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

03:025:030 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

03:025:031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

03:025:032 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

03:025:033 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

03:025:034 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

03:025:035 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

03:025:036 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

03:025:037 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

03:025:038 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

03:025:039 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

03:025:040 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.

03:025:041 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

03:025:042 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

03:025:043 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

03:025:044 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

03:025:045 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

03:025:046 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

03:025:047 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

03:025:048 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

03:025:049 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

03:025:050 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

03:025:051 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

03:025:052 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

03:025:053 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

03:025:054 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

03:025:055 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

03:026:001 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

03:026:002 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

03:026:003 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

03:026:004 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

03:026:005 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

03:026:006 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

03:026:007 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

03:026:008 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

03:026:009 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

03:026:010 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

03:026:011 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

03:026:012 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

03:026:013 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

03:026:014 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

03:026:015 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

03:026:016 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

03:026:017 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

03:026:018 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

03:026:019 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

03:026:020 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

03:026:021 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

03:026:022 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

03:026:023 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

03:026:024 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

03:026:025 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

03:026:026 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

03:026:027 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

03:026:028 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

03:026:029 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

03:026:030 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

03:026:031 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

03:026:032 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

03:026:033 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

03:026:034 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

03:026:035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

03:026:036 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

03:026:037 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

03:026:038 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

03:026:039 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

03:026:040 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

03:026:041 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

03:026:042 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

03:026:043 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

03:026:044 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

03:026:045 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

03:026:046 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

03:027:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

03:027:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.

03:027:003 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

03:027:004 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

03:027:005 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

03:027:006 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

03:027:007 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

03:027:008 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

03:027:009 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

03:027:010 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

03:027:011 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

03:027:012 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

03:027:013 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

03:027:014 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

03:027:015 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

03:027:016 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

03:027:017 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

03:027:018 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

03:027:019 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

03:027:020 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

03:027:021 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

03:027:022 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

03:027:023 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.

03:027:024 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

03:027:025 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

03:027:026 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.

03:027:027 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

03:027:028 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.

03:027:029 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

03:027:030 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.

03:027:031 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

03:027:032 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

03:027:033 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

03:027:034 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

Book 04 Numbers

04:001:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

04:001:018 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

04:001:019 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

04:001:020 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

04:001:046 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

04:001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

04:001:048 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,

04:001:049 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

04:001:050 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.

04:001:051 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

04:001:052 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

04:001:053 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

04:001:054 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

04:002:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:002:002 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.

04:002:003 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

04:002:004 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.

04:002:005 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar.

04:002:006 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

04:002:011 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.

04:002:012 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

04:002:013 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.

04:002:014 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.

04:002:015 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.

04:002:016 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.

04:002:017 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.

04:002:018 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

04:002:019 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred.

04:002:020 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

04:002:021 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

04:002:025 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

04:002:026 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.

04:002:027 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.

04:002:028 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

04:002:029 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.

04:002:030 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

04:002:031 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.

04:002:032 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

04:002:033 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:002:034 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

04:003:001 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

04:003:002 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

04:003:003 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

04:003:004 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.

04:003:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:006 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

04:003:007 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.

04:003:008 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

04:003:009 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

04:003:010 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

04:003:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:012 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

04:003:013 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.

04:003:014 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

04:003:015 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

04:003:016 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.

04:003:017 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

04:003:018 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

04:003:019 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

04:003:020 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

04:003:021 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

04:003:022 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

04:003:023 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.

04:003:024 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

04:003:025 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

04:003:026 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

04:003:027 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

04:003:028 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

04:003:029 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

04:003:030 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

04:003:031 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

04:003:032 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

04:003:033 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

04:003:034 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

04:003:035 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.

04:003:036 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,

04:003:037 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

04:003:038 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

04:003:039 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

04:003:040 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

04:003:041 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

04:003:042 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

04:003:043 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

04:003:044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:045 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.

04:003:046 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

04:003:047 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)

04:003:048 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

04:003:049 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

04:003:050 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

04:003:051 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:004:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

04:004:002 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

04:004:003 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:004:004 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:

04:004:005 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:

04:004:006 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.

04:004:007 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:

04:004:008 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.

04:004:009 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:

04:004:010 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.

04:004:011 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:

04:004:012 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:

04:004:013 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:

04:004:014 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.

04:004:015 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.

04:004:016 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

04:004:017 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,

04:004:018 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:

04:004:019 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:

04:004:020 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.

04:004:021 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:004:022 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;

04:004:023 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:004:024 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:

04:004:025 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

04:004:026 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.

04:004:027 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.

04:004:028 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

04:004:029 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;

04:004:030 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:004:031 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,

04:004:032 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.

04:004:033 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

04:004:034 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,

04:004:035 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:

04:004:036 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

04:004:037 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

04:004:038 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,

04:004:039 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,

04:004:040 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
