The Hebrews +call it VAICRA, from the word with which it begins. + + +Leviticus Chapter 1 + +Of holocausts or burnt offerings. + +1:1. And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of +the testimony, saying: + +1:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The +man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, +that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep: + +1:3. If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a +male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord +favourable to him. + +A holocaust... That is, a whole burnt offering (olokauston), so called, +because the whole victim was consumed with fire; and given in such +manner to God as wholly to evaporate, as it were, for his honour and +glory; without having any part of it reserved for the use of man. The +other sacrifices in the Old Testament were either offerings for sin, or +peace offerings: and these latter again were either offered in +thanksgiving for blessings received; or by way of prayer for new favours +or graces. So that sacrifices were then offered to God for four +different ends or intentions, answerable to the different obligations +which man has to God: 1. By way of adoration, homage, praise, and glory +due to his divine majesty. 2. By way of thanksgiving for all benefits +received from him. 3. By way of confessing and craving pardon for sins. +4. By way of prayer and petition for grace and relief in all +necessities. In the New Law we have but one sacrifice, viz., that of the +body and blood of Christ: but this one sacrifice of the New Testament +perfectly answers all these four ends; and both priest and people, as +often as it is celebrated, ought to join in offering it up for these +four ends. + +1:4. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim: and it shall +be acceptable, and help to its expiation. + +1:5. And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord: and the priests the +sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the +altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle. + +1:6. And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints +into pieces: + +1:7. And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile +of wood. + +1:8. And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon: +to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver; + +1:9. The entrails and feet being washed with water. And the priest shall +burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the +Lord. + +1:10. And if the offering be of the flocks, a holocaust of sheep or of +goats, he shall offer a male without blemish. + +1:11. And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to +the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood +thereof upon the altar round about. + +1:12. And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to +the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to +be put. + +1:13. But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the +priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a +holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord. + +1:14. But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of +turtles, or of young pigeons: + +1:15. The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the +neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run +down upon the brim of the altar. + +1:16. But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside +the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be +poured out. + +1:17. And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor +divide it with a knife: and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire +under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to +the Lord. + +Leviticus Chapter 2 + +Of offerings of flour, and firstfruits. + +2:1. When any one shall offer an oblation of sacrifice to the Lord, his +offering shall be of fine flour: and he shall pour oil upon it, and put +frankincense, + +2:2. And shall bring it to the sons of Aaron the priests. And one of +them shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and all the +frankincense; and shall put it a memorial upon the altar for a most +sweet savour to the Lord. + +2:3. And the remnant of the sacrifice shall be Aaron's, and his sons', +holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord. + +Holy of holies... That is, most holy, as being dedicated to God, and set +aside by his ordinance for the use of his priests. + +2:4. But when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in the oven of flour, to +wit, loaves without leaven, tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers, +anointed with oil: + +2:5. If thy oblation be from the fryingpan, of flour tempered with oil, +and without leaven: 2:6. Thou shalt divide it into little pieces, and +shalt pour oil upon it. + +2:7. And if the sacrifice be from the gridiron, in like manner the flour +shall be tempered with oil. + +2:8. And when thou offerest it to the Lord, thou shalt deliver it to the +hands of the priest. + +2:9. And when he hath offered it, he shall take a memorial out of the +sacrifice, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the Lord. + +2:10. And whatsoever is left, shall be Aaron's, and his sons': holy of +holies of the offerings of the Lord. + +2:11. Every oblation that is offered to the Lord shall be made without +leaven: neither shall any leaven or honey be burnt in the sacrifice to +the Lord. + +Without leaven or honey... No leaven nor honey was to be used in the +sacrifice offered to God; to signify that we are to exclude from the +pure worship of the gospel, all double dealing and affection to carnal +pleasures. + +2:12. You shall offer only the firstfruits of them and gifts: but they +shall not be put upon the altar, for a savour of sweetness. + +2:13. Whatsoever sacrifice thou offerest, thou shalt season it with +salt: neither shalt thou take away the salt of the covenant of thy God +from thy sacrifice. In all thy oblations thou shalt offer salt. + +Salt... In every sacrifice salt was to be used, which is an emblem of +wisdom and discretion, without which none of our performances are +agreeable to God. + +2:14. But if thou offer a gift of the firstfruits of thy corn to the +Lord, of the ears yet green, thou shalt dry it at the fire, and break it +small like meal; and so shalt thou offer thy firstfruits to the Lord: + +2:15. Pouring oil upon it and putting on frankincense, because it is the +oblation of the Lord. + +2:16. Whereof the priest shall burn for a memorial of the gift, part of +the corn broken small and of the oil, and all the frankincense. + +Leviticus Chapter 3 + +Of peace offerings. + +3:1. And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offerings, and he will +offer of the herd, whether male or female: he shall offer them without +blemish before the Lord. + +Peace offerings... Peace, in the scripture language, signifies +happiness, welfare or prosperity; in a word, all kind of blessings.-Such +sacrifices, therefore, as were offered either on occasion of blessings +received, or to obtain new favours, were called pacific or peace +offerings. In these, some part of the victim was consumed with fire on +the altar of God; other parts were eaten by the priests and by the +persons for whom the sacrifice was offered. + +3:2. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his victim, which shall +be slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony: and the sons +of Aaron the priests shall pour the blood round about upon the altar. + +3:3. And they shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings, for an +oblation to the Lord: the fat that covereth the entrails, and all the +fat that is within, + +3:4. The two kidneys with the fat wherewith the flanks are covered, and +the caul of the liver with the two little kidneys. + +3:5. And they shall burn them upon the altar, for a holocaust, putting +fire under the wood: for an oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord. + +3:6. But if his oblation and the sacrifice of peace offering be of the +flock, whether he offer male or female, they shall be without blemish. + +3:7. If he offer a lamb before the Lord: + +3:8. He shall put his hand upon the head of the victim. And it shall be +slain in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony: and the sons of +Aaron shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar. + +3:9. And they shall offer of the victim of peace offerings, a sacrifice +to the Lord: the fat and the whole rump, + +3:10. With the kidneys, and the fat that covereth the belly and all the +vitals and both the little kidneys, with the fat that is about the +flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys. + +3:11. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the +fire, and of the oblation of the Lord. + +3:12. If his offering be a goat, and he offer it to the Lord: + +3:13. He shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and shall immolate it +in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony. And the sons of Aaron +shall pour the blood thereof round about upon the altar. + +3:14. And they shall take of it for the food of the Lord's fire, the fat +that covereth the belly, and that covereth all the vital parts: + +3:15. The two little kidneys with the caul that is upon them which is by +the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys. + +3:16. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the +fire, and of a most sweet savour. All the fat shall be the Lord's. + +3:17. By a perpetual law for your generations, and in all your +habitations: neither blood nor fat shall you eat at all. + +Fat... It is meant of the fat, which by the prescription of the law was +to be offered on God's altar; not of the fat of meat, such as we +commonly eat. + +Leviticus Chapter 4 + +Of offerings for sins of ignorance. + +4:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +4:2. Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through +ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the +Lord, which he commanded not to be done: + +Ignorance... To be ignorant of what we are bound to know is sinful; and +for such culpable ignorance, these sacrifices, prescribed in this and +the following chapter, were appointed. + +4:3. If the priest that is anointed shall sin, making the people to +offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin a calf without blemish. + +4:4. And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord: +and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to +the Lord. + +4:5. He shall take also of the blood of the calf: and carry it into the +tabernacle of the testimony. + +The blood... As the figure of the blood of Christ shed for the remission +of our sins, and carried by him into the sanctuary of heaven. + +4:6. And having dipped his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle with +it seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary. + +4:7. And he shall put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar +of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the +tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood +at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle. + +4:8. And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as +well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards: + +4:9. The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by +the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys: + +4:10. As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace +offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust. + +4:11. But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the +bowels and the dung: + +4:12. And the rest of the body, he shall carry forth without the camp +into a clean place where the ashes are wont to be poured out: and he +shall burn them upon a pile of wood. They shall be burnt in the place +where the ashes are poured out. + +4:13. And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through +ignorance shall do that which is against the commandment of the Lord, + +4:14. And afterwards shall understand their sin: they shall offer for +their sin a calf, and shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle. + +4:15. And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head +thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of +the Lord: + +4:16. The priest that is anointed shall carry of the blood into the +tabernacle of the testimony. + +4:17. And shall dip his finger in it and sprinkle it seven times before +the veil. + +4:18. And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that +is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony. And the rest of +the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is +at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. + +4:19. And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon +the altar: + +4:20. Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before. And the +priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them. + +4:21. But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and +shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of +the multitude. + +4:22. If a prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the +things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth, + +4:23. And afterwards shall come to know his sin: he shall offer a buck +goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord. + +4:24. And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath +immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before +the Lord, because it is for sin, + +4:25. The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for +sin, touching therewith the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring +out the rest at the foot thereof. + +4:26. But the fat he shall burn upon it, as is wont to be done with the +victims of peace offerings. And the priest shall pray for him, and for +his sin: and it shall be forgiven him. + +4:27. And if any one of the people of the land shall sin through +ignorance, doing any of those things that by the law of the Lord are +forbidden, and offending, + +4:28. And shall come to know his sin: he shall offer a she goat without +blemish. + +4:29. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim that is for +sin: and shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust. + +4:30. And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and shall +touch the horns of the altar of holocaust: and shall pour out the rest +at the foot thereof. + +4:31. But taking off all the fat, as is wont to be taken away of the +victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet +savour to the Lord: and he shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven +him. + +4:32. But if he offer of the flock a victim for his sin, to wit, an ewe +without blemish: + +4:33. He shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall immolate it +in the place where the victims of holocausts are wont to be slain. + +4:34. And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, +and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust: and the rest he +shall pour out at the foot thereof. + +4:35. All the fat also he shall take off, as the fat of the ram that is +offered for peace offerings is wont to be taken away: and shall burn it +upon the altar, for a burnt sacrifice of the Lord. And he shall pray for +him and his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. + +Leviticus Chapter 5 + +Of other sacrifices for sins. + +5:1. If any one sin, and hear the voice of one swearing, and is a +witness either because he himself hath seen, or is privy to it: if he do +not utter it, he shall bear his iniquity. + +5:2. Whosoever toucheth any unclean thing, either that which hath been +killed by a beast, or died of itself, or any other creeping thing: and +forgetteth his uncleanness, he is guilty, and hath offended. + +5:3. And if he touch any thing of the uncleanness of man, according to +any uncleanness wherewith he is wont to be defiled: and having forgotten +it, come afterwards to know it, he shall be guilty of an offence. + +5:4. The person that sweareth, and uttereth with his lips, that he would +do either evil or good, and bindeth the same with an oath, and his word: +and having forgotten it afterwards understandeth his offence, + +5:5. Let him do penance for his sin: + +5:6. And offer of the flocks an ewe lamb, or a she goat, and the priest +shall pray for him and for his sin. + +5:7. But if he be not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtles, +or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a +holocaust, + +5:8. And he shall give them to the priest: who shall offer the first for +sin, and twist back the head of it to the little pinions, so that it +stick to the neck, and be not altogether broken off. + +5:9. And of its blood he shall sprinkle the side of the altar: and +whatever is left, he shall let it drop at the bottom thereof, because it +is for sin. + +5:10. And the other he shall burn for a holocaust, as is wont to be +done. And the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall +be forgiven him. + +5:11. And if his hand be not able to offer two turtles, or two young +pigeons, he shall offer for his sin the tenth part of an ephi of flour. +He shall not put oil upon it, nor put any frankincense thereon, because +it is for sin. + +5:12. And he shall deliver it to the priest, who shall take a handful +thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar for a memorial of him that +offered it: + +5:13. Praying for him and making atonement. But the part that is left, +he himself shall have for a gift. + +5:14. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +5:15. If any one shall sin through mistake, transgressing the ceremonies +in those things that are sacrificed to the Lord, he shall offer for his +offence a ram without blemish out of the flocks, that may be bought for +two sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary. + +5:16. And he shall make good the damage itself which he hath done, and +shall add the fifth part besides, delivering it to the priest, who shall +pray for him, offering the ram: and it shall be forgiven him. + +5:17. If any one sin through ignorance, and do one of those things which +by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and being guilty of sin, +understand his iniquity: + +5:18. He shall offer of the flocks a ram without blemish to the priest, +according to the measure and estimation of the sin. And the priest shall +pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: And it shall be forgiven +him, + +5:19. Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord. + +Leviticus Chapter 6 + +Oblation for sins of injustice: ordinances concerning the holocausts and +the perpetual fire: the sacrifices of the priests, and the sin +offerings. + +6:1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +6:2. Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his +neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his +trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression; + +6:3. Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear +falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont +to sin: + +6:4. Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore + +6:5. All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the +fifth part besides, to the owner, whom he wronged. + +6:6. Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of +the flock: and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation +and measure of the offence. + +6:7. And he shall pray for him before the Lord: and he shall have +forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he bath sinned. + +6:8. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +6:9. Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust. It +shall be burnt upon the altar, all night until morning: the fire shall +be of the same altar. + +6:10. The priest shall be vested with the tunick and the linen breeches; +and he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire hath +burnt: and putting them beside the altar, + +6:11. Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, +shall carry them forth without the camp, and shall cause them to be +consumed to dust in a very clean place. + +6:12. And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall +feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning: and laying on the +holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings. + +6:13. This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out on the altar. + +The perpetual fire... This fire came from heaven, (infra. chap. 9.24,) +and was always kept burning on the altar, as a figure of the heavenly +fire of divine love, which ought to be always burning in the heart of a +Christian. + +6:14. This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which the children +of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and before the altar. + +6:15. The priest shall take a handful of the flour that is tempered with +oil, and all the frankincense that is put upon the flour: and he shall +burn on the altar for a memorial of most sweet odour to the Lord. + +6:16. And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall +eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court +of the tabernacle. + +6:17. And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is +offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as +that which is offered for sin and for trespass. + +6:18. The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an +ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of +the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified. + +6:19. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +6:20. This is the oblation of Aaron, and of his sons, which they must +offer to the Lord, in the day of their anointing. They shall offer the +tenth part of an ephi of flour for a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in +the morning, and half of it in the evening. + +6:21. It shall be tempered with oil, and shall be fried in a fryingpan. + +6:22. And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father, shall offer +it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord: and it shall he wholly burnt +on the altar. + +6:23. For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed with fire: +neither shall any man eat thereof. + +6:24. And the Lord spoke to Moses. saying: + +6:25. Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin. +In the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated +before the Lord. It is holy of holies. + +6:26. The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the +court of the tabernacle. + +6:27. Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If +a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a +holy place. + +6:28. And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken: +but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with +water. + +6:29. Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, +because it is holy of holies. + +6:30. For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is +carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the +sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire. + +Leviticus Chapter 7 + +Of sacrifices for trespasses and thanks offerings. No fat nor blood is +to be eaten. + +7:1. This also is the law of the sacrifice for a trespass: it is most +holy. + +Trespass... Trespasses, for which these offerings were to be made, were +lesser offences than those for which the sin offerings were appointed. + +7:2. Therefore where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a +trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about +the altar. + +7:3. They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the +entrails: + +7:4. The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the +caul of the liver with the little kidneys. + +7:5. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the burnt +sacrifice of the Lord for a trespass. + +7:6. Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy +place, because it is most holy. + +7:7. As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a +trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices. It shall +belong to the priest that offereth it. + +7:8. The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the +skin thereof. + +7:9. And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and +whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the fryingpan, shall be the +priest's that offereth it. + +7:10. Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron +shall have one as much as another. + +7:11. This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that is +offered to the Lord. + +7:12. If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer loaves +without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with +oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil. + +7:13. Moreover loaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, +which is offered for peace offerings: + +7:14. Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for firstfruits, and +shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood of the victim. + +7:15. And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day: neither shall any +of it remain until the morning. + +7:16. If any man by vow, or of his own accord offer a sacrifice, it +shall in like manner be eaten the same day. And if any of it remain +until the morrow, it is lawful to eat it. + +7:17. But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed +with fire. + +7:18. If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on +the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect: neither shall it +profit the offerer. Yea rather, whatsoever soul shall defile itself with +such meat, shall be guilty of transgression. + +7:19. The flesh that hath touched any unclean thing, shall not be eaten: +but shall be burnt with fire. He that is clean shall eat of it. + +7:20. If any one that is defiled shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice +of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall be cut off +from his people. + +7:21. And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or +of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh: shall +be cut off from his people. + +7:22. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +7:23. Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, +and of a goat you shall not eat. + +7:24. The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that +was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses. + +7:25. If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt +sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people. + +7:26. Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, +whether of birds or beasts. + +7:27. Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people. + +7:28. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +7:29. Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim +of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice +also, that is, the libations thereof. + +7:30. He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. +And when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall +deliver them to the priest, + +7:31. Who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be +Aaron's and his sons'. + +7:32. The right shoulder also of the victim, of peace offerings shall +fall to the priest for firstfruits. + +7:33. He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat: +he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion. + +7:34. For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated +I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace +offerings: and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by +a law for ever, from all the people of Israel. + +7:35. This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of +the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the +office of priesthood, + +7:36. And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the +children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations. + +7:37. This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and +for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings: + +7:38. Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he +commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations +to the Lord in the desert of Sinai. + +Leviticus Chapter 8 + +Moses consecrateth Aaron and his sons. + +8:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +8:2. Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction: +a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread. + +8:3. And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of +the tabernacle. + +8:4. And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude +being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle: + +8:5. He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done. + +8:6. And immediately, he offered Aaron and his sons. And when he had +washed them, + +8:7. He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding +him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick: and over it +he put the ephod. + +8:8. And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on +which was Doctrine and Truth. + +8:9. He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the +forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as +the Lord had commanded him. + +8:10. He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the +tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof. + +8:11. And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he +anointed it, and all the vessels thereof: and the laver with the foot +thereof, he sanctified with the oil. + +8:12. And he poured it upon Aaron's head: and he anointed and +consecrated him. + +8:13. And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen +tunicks, and girded them with girdles: and put mitres on them as the +Lord had commanded. + +8:14. He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had +put their hands upon the head thereof, + +8:15. He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, +he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and +sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof. + +8:16. But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, +and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar. + +8:17. And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt +without the camp, as the Lord had commanded. + +8:18. He offered also a ram for holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons +had put their hands upon its head: + +8:19. He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about the +altar. + +8:20. And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, +and the fat he burnt in the fire. + +8:21. Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram +together he burnt upon the altar: because it was a holocaust of most +sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him. + +8:22. He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: +and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof. + +8:23. And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and +touched the tip of Aaron's right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, +and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot. + +8:24. He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the +ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every +one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of +their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about. + +8:25. But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the +entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, +and with the right shoulder, he separated. + +8:26. And taking out of the basket of unleavened bread, which was before +the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a +wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder: + +8:27. Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons. Who having lifted them +up before the Lord, + +8:28. He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar +of holocaust: because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet +odour of sacrifice to the Lord. + +8:29. And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his +portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him. + +8:30. And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he +sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments +with it. + +8:31. And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded +them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and +there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in +the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall +eat them. + +8:32. And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the loaves, shall be +consumed with fire. + +8:33. And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven +days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be +expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished: + +8:34. As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the +sacrifice might be accomplished. + +8:35. Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle observing the +watches of the Lord, lest you die. For so it hath been commanded me. + +8:36. And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the +hand of Moses. + +Leviticus Chapter 9 + +Aaron offereth sacrifice for himself and the people. Fire cometh from +the Lord upon the altar. + +9:1. And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, +and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron: + +9:2. Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both +without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. + +9:3. And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a he goat for +sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and without blemish for +a holocaust. + +9:4. Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them +before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every one of them flour +tempered with oil: for to day the Lord will appear to you. + +9:5. They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before +the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood, + +9:6. Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded. Do it, +and his glory will appear to you. + +9:7. And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer sacrifice +for thy sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself and for the +people: and when thou hast slain the people's victim, pray for them, as +the Lord hath commanded. + +9:8. And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf +for his sin. + +9:9. And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped his finger +therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured the rest at the +foot thereof. + +9:10. And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the liver, +which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded +Moses. + +9:11. But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the +camp. + +9:12. He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought +him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar. + +9:13. And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him the head +and all the members: all which he burnt with fire upon the altar. + +9:14. Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water. + +9:15. Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and +expiating the altar, + +9:16. He offered the holocaust. + +9:17. Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, +and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning +holocaust. + +9:18. He immolated also the bullock and the ram, and peace offerings of +the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the +altar round about. + +9:19. The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and the two +little kidneys with their fat, and the caul of the liver, + +9:20. They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the +altar, + +9:21. Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating +them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded. + +9:22. And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And +so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings +being finished, he came down. + +9:23. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and +afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord +appeared to all the multitude. + +9:24. And, behold, a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the +holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude +saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces. + +Leviticus Chapter 10 + +Nadab and Abiu for offering strange fire, are burnt by fire. Priests are +forbidden to drink wine, when they enter into the tabernacle. The law of +eating the holy things. + +10:1. And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their censers, put +fire therein, and incense on it, offering before the Lord strange fire: +which was not commanded them. + +10:2. And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them: and they died +before the Lord. + +10:3. And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath spoken. I will +be sanctified in them that approach to me: and I will be glorified in +the sight of all the people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his +peace. + +10:4. And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel, the +uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away your brethren from +before the sanctuary, and carry them without the camp. + +10:5. And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested with +linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been commanded them. + +10:6. And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons: +Uncover not your heads, and rend not your garments, lest perhaps you +die, and indignation come upon all the congregation. Let your brethren, +and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord has +kindled. + +10:7. But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle: otherwise +you shall perish, for the oil of the holy unction is on you. And they +did all things according to the precept of Moses. + +10:8. The Lord also said to Aaron: + +10:9. You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make drunk, thou +nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest +you die. Because it is an everlasting precept; through your generations: + +10:10. And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy and +unholy, between unclean and clean: + +10:11. And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances which the +Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses. + +10:12. And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons +that were left: Take the sacrifice that is remaining of the oblation of +the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is holy +of holies. + +10:13. And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given to thee and +thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as it hath been commanded me. + +10:14. The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that is +separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou and thy sons, and +thy daughters with thee. For they are set aside for thee and thy +children, of the victims of peace offerings of the children of Israel. + +10:15. Because they have elevated before the Lord the shoulder and the +breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar: and they belong to thee +and to thy sons by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded. + +10:16. While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for the buck +goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt. And being angry +with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said: + +10:17. Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice for sin, +which is most holy, and given to you, that you may bear the iniquity of +the people, and may pray for them in the sight of the Lord. + +10:18. Especially, whereas none of the blood thereof hath been carried +within the holy places: and you ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, +as was commanded me? + +10:19. Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim for sin, +and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest has +happened. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, +having a sorrowful heart? + +10:20. Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied. + +Leviticus Chapter 11 + +The distinction of clean and unclean animals. + +11:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: + +11:2. Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are +to eat of all the living things of the earth. + +Animals which you are to eat, etc... The prohibition of so many kinds of +beasts, birds, and fishes, in the law, was ordered, 1st, to exercise the +people in obedience, and temperance; 2ndly, to restrain them from the +vices of which these animals were symbols; 3rdly, because the things +here forbidden were for the most part unwholesome, and not proper to be +eaten; 4thly, that the people of God, by being obliged to abstain from +things corporally unclean, might be trained up to seek a spiritual +cleanness. + +11:3. Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the +beasts, you shall eat. + +Hoof divided, and cheweth the cud... The dividing of the hoof and +chewing of the cud, signify discretion between good and evil, and +meditating on the law of God; and where either of these is wanting a man +is unclean. In like manner fishes were reputed unclean that had not fins +and scales: that is, souls that did not raise themselves up by prayer +and cover themselves with the scales of virtue. + +11:4. But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but +divideth it not, as the camel, and others: that you shall not eat, but +shall reckon it among the unclean. + +11:5. The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, +is unclean. + +The cherogrillus... Some suppose it to be the rabbit, others the +hedgehog. St. Jerome intimates that it is another kind of animal common +in Palestine, which lives in the holes of rocks or in the earth. We +choose here, as also in the names of several other creatures that follow +(which are little known in this part of the world,) to keep the Greek or +Latin names. + +11:6. The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the +hoof. + +11:7. And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the +cud. + +11:8. The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their +carcasses, because they are unclean to you. + +11:9. These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is +lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in +the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat. + +11:10. But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that +move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you, + +11:11. And detestable. Their flesh you shall not eat: and their +carcasses you shall avoid. + +11:12. All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be +unclean. + +11:13. Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to +be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey. + +The griffon... Not the monster which the painter represent, which hath +no being upon earth; but a bird of the eagle kind, larger than the +common. + +11:14. And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind. + +11:15. And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness. + +11:16. The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according +to its kind. + +11:17. The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis. + +11:18. And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion. + +11:19. The heron, and the charadroin according to its kind, the houp +also, and the bat. + +11:20. Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be +abominable to you. + +11:21. But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind +longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth, + +11:22. That you shall eat: as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and +ophimachus, and the locust, every, one according to their kind. + +11:23. But of flying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an +abomination to you. + +11:24. And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be +defiled: and shall be unclean until the evening: + +11:25. And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when +they are dead: he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the +sun set. + +11:26. Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth +the cud shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled. + +11:27. That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all +four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be +defiled until evening. + +11:28. And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, +and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean +to you. + +11:29. These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that +move upon the earth. The weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every +one according to their kind: + +11:30. The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the lizard, +and the mole. + +11:31. All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be +unclean until the evening. + +11:32. And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it +shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins +or haircloths: or any thing in which work is done. They shall be dipped +in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards +shall be clean. + +11:33. But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall +be defiled: and therefore is to be broken. + +11:34. Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured +upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of any +such vessel, shall be unclean. + +11:35. And upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts shall fall, it +shall be unclean. Whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they shall be +destroyed, and shall be unclean. + +11:36. But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters +shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled. + +11:37. If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it. + +11:38. But if any man pour water upon the seed, and afterwards it be +touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled. + +11:39. If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that +toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening. + +11:40. And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his +clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening. + +11:41. All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable: neither +shall it be taken for meat. + +11:42. Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, +or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable. + +11:43. Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be +unclean, + +11:44. For I am the Lord your God. Be holy because I am holy. Defile +not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the earth. + +11:45. For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that +I might be your God. + +11:46. You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts +and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and +creepeth on the earth: + +11:47. That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and +know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse. + +Leviticus Chapter 12 + +The purification of women after childbirth. + +12:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +12:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: If a +woman having received seed shall bear a man child, she shall be unclean +seven days, according to the days of separation of her flowers. + +12:3. And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised: + +12:4. But she shall remain three and thirty days in the blood of her +purification. She shall touch no holy thing: neither shall she enter +into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification, be fulfilled. + +12:5. But if she shall bear a maid child, she shall be unclean two +weeks, according to the custom of her monthly courses. And she shall +remain in the blood of her purification sixty-six days. + +12:6. And when the days of her purification are expired, for a son, or +for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the +testimony, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a +turtle for sin: and shall deliver them to the priest. + +12:7. Who shall offer them before the Lord, and shall pray for her: and +so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law +for her that beareth a man child or a maid child. + +12:8. And if her hand find not sufficiency, and she is not able to offer +a lamb, she shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, one for a +holocaust, and another for sin: and the priest shall pray for her, and +so she shall be cleansed. + +Leviticus Chapter 13 + +The law concerning leprosy in men, and in garments. + +13:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: + +13:2. The man in whose skin or flesh shall arise a different colour or a +blister, or as it were something shining, that is the stroke of the +leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or any or of his sons. + +13:3. And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white +and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest +of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy, and upon his judgment he +shall be separated. + +13:4. But if there be a shining whiteness in the skin, and not lower +than the other flesh, and the hair be of the former colour, the priest +shall shut him up seven days. + +13:5. And the seventh day he shall look on him: and if the leprosy be +grown no farther, and hath not spread itself in the skin, he shall shut +him up again other seven days. + +13:6. And on the seventh day, he shall look on him. If the leprosy be +somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him +clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and +shall be clean. + +13:7. But, if the leprosy grow again, after he was seen by the priest +and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him: + +13:8. And shall be condemned of uncleanness. + +13:9. If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to +the priest: + +13:10. And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in +the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living +flesh itself shall appear: + +13:11. It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the +skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean: and shall not shut +him up, because he is evidently unclean. + +13:12. But if the leprosy spring out running about in the skin, and +cover all the skin from the head to the feet, whatsoever falleth under +the sight of the eyes: + +13:13. The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which +he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and +therefore the man shall be clean. + +13:14. But when the live flesh shall appear in him: + +13:15. Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall +be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with +leprosy, is unclean. + +13:16. And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man: + +13:17. The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean. + +13:18. When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and +it has been healed: + +13:19. And in the place of the ulcer, there appeareth a white scar, or +somewhat red, the man shall be brought to the priest. + +13:20. And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the +other flesh, and the hair turned white: he shall declare him unclean, +for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer. + +13:21. But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat +obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it: he shall shut +him up seven days. + +13:22. And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy: + +13:23. But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer: and +the man shall be clean. + +13:24. The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is +healed hath a white or a red scar: + +13:25. The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the +place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him +unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar. + +13:26. But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish +lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be +somewhat obscure: he shall shut him up seven days, + +13:27. And on the seventh day he shall view him. If the leprosy be grown +farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean. + +13:28. But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it +is the sore of a burning: and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it +is only the scar of a burning. + +13:29. If the leprosy break out in the head or the beard of a man or +woman, the priest shall see them, + +13:30. And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair +yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because +it is the leprosy of the head and the beard; + +13:31. But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh +that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days, + +13:32. And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not +grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be +even with the other flesh: + +13:33. The man shall be shaven all but the place of the spot: and he +shall be shut up other seven days. + +13:34. If on the seventh day the evil seem to have stayed in its place, +and not lower than the other flesh, he shall cleanse him: and his +clothes being washed he shall be clean. + +13:35. But if after his cleansing the spot spread again in the skin: + +13:36. He shall seek no more whether the hair be turned yellow, because +he is evidently unclean. + +13:37. But if the spot be stayed, and the hair be black, let him know +that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean. + +13:38. If a whiteness appear in the skin of a man or a woman, + +13:39. The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness +shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a +white blemish, and that the man is clean. + +13:40. The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and +clean: + +13:41. And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and +clean. + +13:42. But if in the bald head or in the bald forehead there be risen a +white or reddish colour: + +13:43. And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of +leprosy which is risen in the bald part. + +13:44. Now whosoever shall be defiled with the leprosy, and is separated +by the judgment of the priest: + +13:45. Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth +covered with a cloth: and he shall cry out that he is defiled and +unclean. + +13:46. All the time that he is a leper and unclean he shall dwell alone +without the camp. + +13:47. A woollen or linen garment that shall have the leprosy + +13:48. In the warp, and the woof: or skin, or whatsoever is made of a +skin: + +13:49. If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted +the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest. + +13:50. And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days. + +13:51. And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find +that it is grown, it is a fixed leprosy. He shall judge the garment +unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found. + +13:52. And therefore it shall be burnt with fire. + +13:53. But if he see that it is not grown, + +13:54. He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the +leprosy is: and he shall shut it up other seven days. + +13:55. And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor +yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean: and shall burn it +with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, +or through the whole. + +13:56. But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the +garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which +is sound. + +13:57. And if after this there appear in those places that before were +without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with +fire. + +13:58. If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, +the second time: and they shall be clean. + +13:59. This is the law touching the leprosy of any woollen or linen +garment, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins: how it ought +to be cleaned, or pronounced unclean. + +Leviticus Chapter 14 + +The rites of sacrifices in cleansing the leprosy. Leprosy in houses. + +14:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +14:2. This is the rite of a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall +be brought to the priest: + +14:3. Who going out of the camp, when he shall find that the leprosy is +cleansed, + +14:4. Shall command him that is to be purified, to offer for himself two +living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and scarlet, +and hyssop. + +14:5. And he shall command one of the sparrows to be immolated in an +earthen vessel over living waters. + +Living waters... That is, waters taken from a spring, brook, or river. + +14:6. But the other that is alive, he shall dip, with the cedar wood, +and the scarlet and the hyssop, in the blood of the sparrow that is +immolated: + +14:7. Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven +times, that he may be rightly purified. And he shall let go the living +sparrow, that it may fly into the field. + +14:8. And when the man hath washed his clothes, he shall shave all the +hair of his body, and shall be washed with water: and being purified he +shall enter into the camp, yet so that he tarry without his own tent +seven days. + +14:9. And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and +his beard and his eyebrows, and the hair of all his body. And having +washed again his clothes, and his body, + +14:10. On the eighth day, he shall take two lambs without blemish, and +an ewe of a year old without blemish, and three tenths of flour tempered +with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil apart. + +A sextary... Heb. log: a measure of liquids, which was the twelfth part +of a hin; and held about as much as six eggs. + +14:11. And when the priest that purifieth the man, hath presented him, +and all these things before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of +the testimony: + +14:12. He shall take a lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with +the sextary of oil. And having offered all before the Lord, + +14:13. He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to +be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For as that +which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth +to the priest: it is holy of holies. + +14:14. And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was +immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of +him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great +toe of his right foot. + +Taking of the blood, etc... These ceremonies used in the cleansing of a +leper, were mysterious and very significative. The sprinkling seven +times with the blood of the little bird, the washing himself and his +clothes, the shaving his hair and his beard, signify the means which are +to be used in the reconciliation of a sinner, and the steps by which he +is to return to God, viz., by the repeated application of the blood of +Christ: the washing his conscience with the waters of compunction: and +retrenching all vanities and superfluities, by employing all that is +over and above what is necessary in alms deeds. The sin offering, and +the holocaust or burnt offering, which he was to offer at his cleansing, +signify the sacrifice of a contrite and humble heart, and that of +adoration in spirit and truth, with gratitude and thankfulness, for the +forgiveness of sins, with which we are ever to appear before the +Almighty. The touching the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and +the great toe of the right foot, first with the blood of the victim, and +then with the remainder of the oil, which had been sprinkled seven times +before the Lord, signify the application of the blood of Christ, and the +unction of the sevenfold grace of the Holy Ghost; to the sinner's right +ear, that he may duly hearken to and obey the law of God; and to his +right hand and foot, that the works of his hands, and all the steps or +affections of his soul, signified by the feet, may be rightly directed +to God. + +14:15. And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left hand, + +14:16. And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the +Lord seven times. + +14:17. And the rest of the oil in his left hand, he shall pour upon the +tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his +right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that +was shed for trespass: + +14:18. And upon his head. + +14:19. And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the +sacrifice for sin. Then shall he immolate the holocaust. + +14:20. And put it on the altar with the libations thereof: and the man +shall be rightly cleansed. + +14:21. But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: +he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may +pray for him, and a tenth part of flour tempered with oil for a +sacrifice, and a sextary of oil: + +14:22. And two turtles or two young pigeons, of which one may be for +sin, and the other for a holocaust. + +14:23. And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to +the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the +Lord. + +14:24. And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary +of oil, shall elevate them together. + +14:25. And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof +upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the +thumb of his right hand, and the great toe of his right foot. + +14:26. But he shall pour part of the oil into his own left hand, + +14:27. And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle +it seven times before the Lord. + +14:28. And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him that is +cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right +foot, in the place of the blood that was shed for trespass. + +14:29. And the other part of the oil that is in his left hand, he shall +pour upon the head of the purified person, that he may appease the Lord +for him. + +14:30. And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon: + +14:31. One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their +libations. + +14:32. This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all +things that appertain to his cleansing. + +14:33. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: + +14:34. When you shall come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give +you for a possession, if there be the plague or leprosy in a house: + +14:35. He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It +seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house, + +14:36. And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the +house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, let +all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall +go in to view the leprosy of the house. + +14:37. And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, +disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all he rest: + +14:38. He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it +up seven days, + +14:39. And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he +find that the leprosy is spread, + +14:40. He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be +taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place: + +14:41. And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the +dust of the scrapings be scattered without the city into an unclean +place: + +14:42. And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were +taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar. + +14:43. But if after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, +and it be plastered with other earth. + +14:44. The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and +the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house is +unclean. + +14:45. And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones +and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean +place. + +14:46. He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean +until evening, + +14:47. And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his +clothes. + +14:48. But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not +spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, +it being cured. + +14:49. And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and +cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. + +14:50. And having immolated one sparrow in an earthen vessel, over +living waters, + +14:51. He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, +and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow +that is immolated, and in the living water: and he shall sprinkle the +house seven times. + +14:52. And shall purify it as well with the blood of the sparrow, as +with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and with the cedar +wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet. + +14:53. And when he hath let go the sparrow to fly freely away into the +field, he shall pray for the house: and it shall be rightly cleansed. + +14:54. This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke. + +14:55. Of the leprosy of garments and houses, + +14:56. Of a scar and of blisters breaking out of a shining spot, and +when the colours are diversely changed: + +14:57. That it may be known when a thing is clean or unclean. + +Leviticus Chapter 15 + +Other legal uncleannesses. + +15:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: + +15:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The man that +hath an issue of seed, shall be unclean. + +Issue of seed shall be unclean... These legal uncleannesses were +instituted in order to give the people a horror of carnal impurities. + +15:3. And then shall he be judged subject to this evil, when a filthy +humour, at every moment, cleaveth to his flesh, and gathereth there. + +15:4. Every bed on which he sleepeth, shall be unclean, and every place +on which he sitteth. + +15:5. If any man touch his bed, he shall wash his clothes and being +washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:6. If a man sit where that man hath sitten, he also shall wash his +clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the +evening. + +15:7. He that toucheth his flesh, shall wash his clothes: and being +himself washed with water shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:8. If such a man cast his spittle upon him that is clean, he shall +wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until +the evening. + +15:9. The saddle on which he hath sitten shall be unclean. + +15:10. And whatsoever has been under him that hath the issue of seed, +shall be unclean until the evening. He that carrieth any of these +things, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be +unclean until the evening. + +15:11. Every person whom such a one shall touch, not having washed his +hands before, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall +be unclean until the evening. + +15:12. If he touch a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: but if a +vessel of wood, it shall be washed with water. + +15:13. If he who suffereth this disease be healed, he shall number seven +days after his cleansing: and having washed his clothes, and all his +body in living water, he shall be clean. + +15:14. And on the eighth day he shall take two turtles, or two young +pigeons, and he shall come before the Lord, to the door of the +tabernacle of the testimony, and shall give them to the priest. + +15:15. Who shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust: and +he shall pray for him before the Lord, that he may be cleansed of the +issue of his seed. + +15:16. The man from whom the seed of copulation goeth out, shall wash +all his body with water: and he shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:17. The garment or skin that he weareth, he shall wash with water: +and it shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:18. The woman, with whom he copulateth, shall be washed with water: +and shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:19. The woman, who at the return of the month, hath her issue of +blood, shall be separated seven days. + +15:20. Every one that toucheth her, shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:21. And every thing that she sleepeth on, or that she sitteth on in +the days of her separation, shall be defiled. + +15:22. He that toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes: and being +himself washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:23. Whosoever shall touch any vessel on which she sitteth, shall wash +his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be defiled until +the evening. + +15:24. If a man copulateth with her in the time of her flowers, he shall +be unclean seven days: and every bed on which he shall sleep, shall be +defiled. + +15:25. The woman that hath still issue of blood many days out of her +ordinary time, or that ceaseth not to flow after the monthly courses, as +long as she is subject to this disease, shall be unclean, in the same +manner as if she were in her flowers. + +15:26. Every bed on which she sleepeth, and every vessel on which she +sitteth, shall be defiled. + +15:27. Whosoever toucheth them shall wash his clothes: and himself being +washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening. + +15:28. If the blood stop and cease to run, she shall count seven days of +her purification: + +15:29. And on the eighth day she shall offer for herself to the priest, +two turtles, or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the +testimony: + +15:30. And he shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust, +and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the issue of her +uncleanness. + +15:31. You shall teach therefore the children of Israel to take heed of +uncleanness, that they may not die in their filth, when they shall have +defiled my tabernacle that is among them. + +15:32. This is the law of him that hath the issue of seed, and that is +defiled by copulation. + +15:33. And of the woman that is separated in her monthly times, or that +hath a continual issue of blood, and of the man that sleepeth with her. + +Leviticus Chapter 16 + +When and how the high priest must enter into the sanctuary. The feast of +expiation. + +16:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of +Aaron when they were slain upon their offering strange fire: + +16:2. And he commanded him, saying: Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he +enter not at all into the sanctuary, which is within the veil before the +propitiatory, with which the ark is covered, lest he die, (for I will +appear in a cloud over the oracle), + +Enter not... No one but the high priest, and he but once a year, could +enter into the sanctuary; to signify that no one could enter into the +sanctuary of heaven, till Christ our high priest opened it by his +passion. Heb. 10.8. + +16:3. Unless he first do these things. He shall offer a calf for sin, +and a ram for a holocaust. + +16:4. He shall be vested with a linen tunick: he shall cover his +nakedness with linen breeches: he shall be girded with a linen girdle, +and he shall put a linen mitre upon his head. For these are holy +vestments: all which he shall put on, after he is washed. + +16:5. And he shall receive from the whole multitude of the children of +Israel two buck goats for sin, and one ram for a holocaust. + +16:6. And when he hath offered the cattle and prayed for himself and for +his own house: + +16:7. He shall make the two buck goats to stand before the Lord in the +door of the tabernacle of the testimony. + +16:8. And casting lots upon them both, one to be offered to the Lord, +and the other to be the emissary goat: + +16:9. That whose lot fell to be offered to the Lord, he shall offer for +sin. + +16:10. But that whose lot was to be the emissary goat, he shall present +before the Lord, that he may pour prayers upon him, and let him go into +the wilderness. + +16:11. After these things are duly celebrated, he shall offer the calf: +and praying for himself and for his own house, he shall immolate it. + +16:12. And taking the censer, which he hath filled with the burning +coals of the altar, and taking up with his hands the compounded perfume +for incense, he shall go in within the veil into the holy place: + +16:13. That when the perfumes are put upon the fire, the cloud and +vapour thereof may cover the oracle, which is over the testimony, and he +may not die. + +16:14. He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and sprinkle with +his finger seven times towards the propitiatory to the east. + +16:15. And when he hath killed the buck goat for the sin of the people, +he shall carry in the blood thereof within the veil, as he was commanded +to do with the blood of the calf, that he may sprinkle it over against +the oracle: + +16:16. And may expiate the sanctuary from the uncleanness of the +children of Israel, and from their transgressions, and all their sins. +According to this rite shall he do to the tabernacle of the testimony, +which is fixed among them in the midst of the filth of their habitation. + +16:17. Let no man be in the tabernacle when the high priest goeth into +the sanctuary, to pray for himself and his house, and for the whole +congregation of Israel, until he come out. + +16:18. And when he is come out to the altar that is before the Lord, let +him pray for himself: and taking the blood of the calf, and of the buck +goat, let him pour it upon the horns thereof round about. + +16:19. And sprinkling with his finger seven times, let him expiate, and +sanctify it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. + +16:20. After he hath cleaned the sanctuary, and the tabernacle, and the +altar, then let him offer the living goat. + +16:21. And putting both hands upon his head, let him confess all the +iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their offences and sins. +And praying that they may light on its head, he shall turn him out by a +man ready for it, into the desert. + +16:22. And when the goat hath carried all their iniquities into an +uninhabited land, and shall be let go into the desert: + +16:23. Aaron shall return into the tabernacle of the testimony, and +putting off the vestments, which he had on him before when he entered +into the sanctuary, and leaving them there, + +16:24. He shall wash his flesh in the holy place, and shall put on his +own garments. And after that he is come out and hath offered his own +holocaust, and that of the people, he shall pray both for himself, and +for the people. + +16:25. And the fat that is offered for sins, he shall burn on the altar. + +16:26. But he that hath let go the emissary goat, shall wash his +clothes, and his body with water, and so shall enter into the camp. + +16:27. But the calf and the buck goat, that were sacrificed for sin, and +whose blood was carried into the sanctuary, to accomplish the atonement, +they shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn with fire: their +skins and their flesh, and their dung. + +16:28. And whosoever burneth them shall wash his clothes, and flesh with +water: and so shall enter into the camp. + +16:29. And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance. The seventh +month, the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and +shall do no work, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger +that sojourneth among you. + +16:30. Upon this day shall be the expiation for you, and the cleansing +from all your sins. You shall be cleansed before the Lord. + +16:31. For it is a sabbath of rest: and you shall afflict your souls by +a perpetual religion. + +16:32. And the priest that is anointed, and whose hands are consecrated +to do the office of the priesthood in his father's stead, shall make +atonement. And he shall be vested with the linen robe and the holy +vestments. + +16:33. And he shall expiate the sanctuary and the tabernacle of the +testimony and the altar: the priest also and all the people. + +16:34. And this shall be an ordinance for ever, that you pray for the +children of Israel, and for all their sins once a year. He did therefore +as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +Leviticus Chapter 17 + +No sacrifices to be offered but at the door of the tabernacle: a +prohibition of blood. + +17:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +17:2. Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, +saying to them: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded, saying: + +17:3. Any man whosoever of the house of Israel, if he kill an ox, or a +sheep, or a goat in the camp, or without the camp, + +If he kill, etc... That is, in order to sacrifice. The law of God +forbids sacrifices to be offered in any other place but at the +tabernacle or temple of the Lord; to signify that no sacrifice would be +acceptable to God, out of his true temple, the one holy, catholic, +apostolic church. + +17:4. And offer it not at the door of the tabernacle an oblation to the +Lord, shall be guilty of blood. As if he had shed blood, so shall he +perish from the midst of his people. + +17:5. Therefore the children of Israel shall bring to the priest their +victims, which they kill in the field, that they may be sanctified to +the Lord before the door of the tabernacle of the testimony: and they +may sacrifice them for peace offerings to the Lord. + +17:6. And the priest shall pour the blood upon the altar of the Lord, at +the door of the tabernacle of the testimony: and shall burn the fat for +a sweet odour to the Lord. + +17:7. And they shall no more sacrifice their victims to devils, with +whom they have committed fornication. It shall be an ordinance for ever +to them and to their posterity. + +17:8. And thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of +the strangers who sojourn among you, that offereth a holocaust or a +victim, + +17:9. And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the +testimony, that it may be offered to the Lord, shall perish from among +his people. + +17:10. If any man whosoever of the house of Israel, and of the strangers +that sojourn among them, eat blood, I will set my face against his soul, +and will cut him off from among his people. + +Eat blood... To eat blood was forbidden in the law; partly, because God +reserved it to himself, to be offered in sacrifices on the altar, as to +the Lord of life and death; and as a figure of the blood of Christ; and +partly, to give men a horror of shedding blood. Gen. 9.4, 5, 6. + +17:11. Because the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given +it to you, that you may make atonement with it upon the altar for your +souls, and the blood may be for an expiation of the soul. + +17:12. Therefore I have said to the children of Israel: No soul of you, +nor of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall eat blood. + +17:13. Any man whosoever of the children of Israel, and of the strangers +that sojourn among you, if by hunting or fowling, he take a wild beast +or a bird, which is lawful to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover +it with earth. + +17:14. For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore I said to +the children of Israel: you shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all, +because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it, +shall be cut off. + +17:15. The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been +caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger, +shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled +until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean. + +17:16. But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear +his iniquity. + +Leviticus Chapter 18 + +Marriage is prohibited in certain degrees of kindred: Anda all unnatural +lusts. + +18:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +18:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am +the Lord your God. + +18:3. You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in +which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the +country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you. Nor shall you walk in +their ordinances. + +18:4. You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and +shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God. + +18:5. Keep my laws and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in +them, I am the Lord. + +18:6. No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to +uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord. + +18:7. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the +nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her +nakedness. + +18:8. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife: for it +is the nakedness of thy father. + +18:9. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by +mother: whether born at home or abroad. + +18:10. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son's daughter, or +thy daughter's daughter: because it is thy own nakedness. + +18:11. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife's +daughter, whom she bore to thy father: and who is thy sister. + +18:12. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: +because she is the flesh of thy father. + +18:13. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: +because she is thy mother's flesh. + +18:14. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother: +neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by +affinity. + +18:15. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: +because she is thy son's wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame. + +18:16. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: +because it is the nakedness of thy brother. + +18:17. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her +daughter. Thou shalt not take her son's daughter or her daughter's +daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such +copulation is incest. + +18:18. Thou shalt not take thy wife's sister for a harlot, to rival her: +neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living. + +18:19. Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers: neither +shalt thou uncover her nakedness. + +18:20. Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife: nor be defiled with +mingling of seed. + +18:21. Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol +Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God. I am the Lord. + +18:22. Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: because it is +an abomination. + +18:23. Thou shalt not copulate with any beast: neither shalt thou be +defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate +with it: because it is a heinous crime. + +Because it is a heinous crime... In Hebrew, this word heinous crime is +expressed by the word confusion, signifying the shamefulness and +baseness of this abominable sin. + +18:24. Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the +nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you, + +18:25. And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I +will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants. + +18:26. Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments: and do not any of these +abominations. Neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that +sojourneth among you. + +18:27. For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have +done, that were before you, and have defiled it. + +18:28. Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you +do the like things: as it vomited out the nation that was before you. + +18:29. Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall +perish from the midst of his people. + +18:30. Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, +that have been before you: and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord +your God. + +Leviticus Chapter 19 + +Divers ordinances, partly moral, partly ceremonial or judicial. + +19:1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +19:2. Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel. And thou +shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy. + +19:3. Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I +am the Lord your God. + +19:4. Turn ye not to idols: nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the +Lord your God. + +19:5. If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may +be favourable: + +19:6. You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day. +And whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with +fire. + +19:7. If after two days any man eat thereof, he shall be profane and +guilty of impiety: + +19:8. And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy +thing of the Lord. And that soul shall perish from among his people. + +19:9. When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down +all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou +gather the ears that remain. + +19:10. Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down +in thy vineyard: but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to +take. I am the Lord your God. + +19:11. You shall not steal. You shall not lie: neither shall any man +deceive his neighbour. + +19:12. Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of +thy God. I am the Lord. + +19:13. Thou shalt not calumniate thy neighbour, nor oppress him by +violence. The wages of him that hath been hired by thee shall not abide +with thee until the morning. + +19:14. Thou shalt not speak evil of the deaf, nor put a stumbling block +before the blind: but thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, because I am the +Lord. + +19:15. Thou shalt not do that which is unjust, nor judge unjustly. +Respect not the person of the poor: nor honour the countenance of the +mighty. But judge thy neighbour according to justice. + +19:16. Thou shalt not be a detractor nor a whisperer among the people. +Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord. + +19:17. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: But reprove him +openly, lest thou incur sin through him. + +19:18. Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens. +Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself. I am the Lord. + +19:19. Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with +beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different +seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts. + +Different seeds, etc... This law tends to recommend simplicity and plain +dealing in all things, and to teach the people not to join any false +worship or heresy with the worship of the true God. + +19:20. If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and +marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they +both shall be scourged: and they shall not be put to death, because she +was not a free woman. + +19:21. And for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the +door of the tabernacle of the testimony. + +19:22. And the priest shall pray for him: and for his sin before the +Lord: and he shall have mercy on him, and the sin shall be forgiven. + +19:23. When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in +it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them. The fruit +that comes forth shall be unclean to you: neither shall you eat of them. + +Firstfruits... Proeputia, literally, their foreskins; it alludes to +circumcision, and signifies that for the first three years the trees +were to be as uncircumcised, and their fruit unclean: till in the fourth +year their increase was sanctified and given to the Lord, that is, to +the priests. + +19:24. But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to +the praise of the Lord. + +19:25. And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering +the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God. + +19:26. You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe +dreams. + +19:27. Nor shall you cut your hair roundwise: nor shave your beard. + +19:28. You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead: +neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks. I am the +Lord. + +19:29. Make not thy daughter a common strumpet, lest the land be +defiled, and filled with wickedness. + +19:30. Keep ye my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. + +19:31. Go not aside after wizards: neither ask any thing of soothsayers, +to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God. + +19:32. Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged +man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord. + +19:33. If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not +upbraid hin: + +19:34. But let him be among you as one of the same country. And you +shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of +Egypt. I am the Lord your God. + +19:35. Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in +measure. + +19:36. Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, +and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of +the land of Egypt. + +19:37. Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments: and do them. I am +the Lord. + +Leviticus Chapter 20 + +Divers crimes to be punished with death. + +20:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +20:2. Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the +children Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in Israel, give of his +seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die. The people of the land shall +stone him. + +20:3. And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from +the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, +and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name. + +20:4. And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little +regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed +to Moloch, and will not kill him: + +20:5. I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut +off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with +Moloch, out of the midst of their people. + +20:6. The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and +shall commit fornication with them: I will set my face against that +soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people. + +20:7. Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy: because I am the Lord your +God. + +20:8. Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you. + +20:9. He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die. He hath +cursed his father, and mother: let his blood be upon him. + +20:10. If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile +his neighbour's wife: let them be put to death, both the adulterer and +the adulteress. + +20:11. If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of +his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be upon them. + +20:12. If any man lie with his daughter in law: let both die, because +they have done a heinous crime. Their blood be upon them. + +20:13. If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an +abomination: let them be put to death. Their blood be upon them. + +20:14. If any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath +done a heinous crime. He shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall +so great an abomination remain in the midst of you. + +20:15. He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him +die: the beast also ye shall kill. + +The beast also ye shall kill... The killing of the beast was for the +greater horror of the crime, and to prevent the remembrance of such +abaomination. + +20:16. The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed +together with the same. Their blood be upon them. + +20:17. If any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the +daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her +brother's shame: they have committed a crime. They shall be slain, in +the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another's +nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity. + +20:18. If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her +nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood: both shall be +destroyed out of the midst of their people. + +20:19. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, +and of thy aunt by thy father. He that doth this, hath uncovered the +shame of his own flesh: both shall bear their iniquity. + +20:20. If any man lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of +his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both +shall bear their sin. They shall die without children. + +20:21. He that marrieth his brother's wife, doth an unlawful thing: he +hath uncovered his brother's nakedness. They shall be without children. + +20:22. Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into +which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out. + +20:23. Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out +before you. For they have done all these things: and therefore I +abhorred them. + +20:24. But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an +inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, +who have separated you from other people. + +20:25. Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, +and the clean fowl from the unclean. Defile not your souls with beasts, +or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn +you to be unclean: + +20:26. You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy: and I have +separated you from other people, that you should be mine. + +20:27. A man, or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining +spirit, dying let them die. They shall stone them. Their blood be upon +them. + +Leviticus Chapter 21 + +Ordinances relating to the priests. + +21:1. The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of +Aaron, and thou shalt say for them: Let not a priest incur an +uncleanness at the death of his citizens. + +An uncleanness... Viz., such as was contracted in laying out the dead +body, or touching it; or in going into the house, or assisting at the +funeral, etc. + +21:2. But only for his kin, such as are near in blood: that is to say, +for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his +daughter, for his brother also: + +21:3. And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband. + +21:4. But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing +that may make him unclean. + +21:5. Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make +incisions in their flesh. + +21:6. They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name. +For they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their +God: and therefore they shall be holy. + +21:7. They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one +that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to +their God, + +21:8. And offer the loaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy +because I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctify them. + +21:9. If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom and dishonour the +name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire. + +21:10. The high priest, that is to say, the priest who is the greatest +among his brethren, upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured; +and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood; and who hath +been vested with the holy vestments. He shall not uncover his head: he +shall not rend his garments. + +21:11. Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his +father, or his mother, shall he be defiled. + +21:12. Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the +sanctuary of the Lord: because the oil of the holy unction of his God is +upon him. I am the Lord. + +21:13. He shall take a virgin unto his wife. + +21:14. But a widow or one that is divorced, or defied, or a harlot, he +shall not take: but a maid of his own people. + +21:15. He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common +people of this nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him. + +21:16. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +21:17. Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, +hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God. + +21:18. Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind; if +he be lame; if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose; + +21:19. If his foot, or if his hand be broken; + +21:20. If he be crookbacked; or blear eyed; or have a pearl in his eye, +or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture. + +21:21. Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish: he +shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his +God. + +21:22. He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves that are offered in the +sanctuary. + +21:23. Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the +altar: because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I +am the Lord who sanctify them. + +21:24. Moses, therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all +Israel, all the things that had been commanded him. + +Leviticus Chapter 22 + +Who may eat the holy things: and what things may be offered. + +22:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying: + +22:2. Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things +that are consecrated of the children of Israel: and defile not the name +of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord. + +22:3. Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that +approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children +of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall +perish before the Lord. I am the Lord. + +Approacheth, etc... This is to give us to understand, with what purity +of soul we are to approach to the blessed sacrament of which these meats +that had been offered in sacrifice were a figure. + +22:4. The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a +running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified +to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by +occasion of the dead: and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation: + +22:5. And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the +touching of which is defiling: + +22:6. Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things +that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water, + +22:7. And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the +sanctified things, because it is his meat. + +22:8. That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, +they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord. + +22:9. Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and +die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who +sanctify them. + +22:10. No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of +the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them. + +22:11. But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, +born in his house, these shall eat of them. + +22:12. If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she +shall not eat of those things that are sanctified nor of the +firstfruits. + +22:13. But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return +to her father's house, she shall eat of her father's meats, as she was +wont to do when she was a maid. No stranger hath leave to eat of them. + +22:14. He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall +add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the +priest into the sanctuary. + +22:15. And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children +of Israel, which they offer to the Lord: + +22:16. Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they +shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them. + +22:17. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +22:18. Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of +Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and +of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either +paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which +he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord, + +22:19. To be offered by you: it shall be a male without blemish of the +beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats. + +22:20. If it have a blemish you shall not offer it: neither shall it be +acceptable. + +22:21. The man that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, +either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves +or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable. +There shall be no blemish in it. + +22:22. If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, +or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing +of them upon the Lord's altar. + +22:23. An ox or a sheep, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou +mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them. + +22:24. you shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles +bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any +such things in your land. + +22:25. you shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a +stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all +corrupted, and defiled. You shall not receive them. + +22:26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +22:27. When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they +shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, +and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord. + +22:28. Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the +same day with their young ones. + +22:29. If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he +may be favourable, + +22:30. You shall eat it the same day. There shall not any of it remain +until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord. + +22:31. Keep my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord. + +22:32. Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst +of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you: + +22:33. And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be +your God. I am the Lord. + +Leviticus Chapter 23 + +Holy days to be kept. + +23:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +23:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These +are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy. + +23:3. Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest +of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: +it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations. + +23:4. These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate +in their seasons. + +23:5. The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is +the phase of the Lord. + +23:6. And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the +unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread. + +23:7. The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall +do no servile work therein. + +23:8. But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And +the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no +servile work therein. + +23:9. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +23:10. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When +you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall +reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your +harvest to the priest. + +23:11. Who shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, the next day after +the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it. + +23:12. And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without +blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord. + +23:13. And the libations shall be offered with it: two tenths of flour +tempered with oil, for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet +odour. Libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin. + +23:14. You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty or +the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It +is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your +dwellings. + +23:15. You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, +wherein you offered the sheaf of firstfruits, seven full weeks. + +23:16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh week be expired, that is +to say, fifty days: and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord. + +23:17. Out of all your dwellings, two loaves of the firstfruits, of two +tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of +the Lord. + +23:18. And you shall offer with the loaves seven lambs without blemish +of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and they shall be for a +holocaust with their two rams: and they shall be for a holocaust with +their libations for a most sweet odour to the Lord. + +23:19. You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the +first year for sacrifices of peace offerings. + +23:20. And when the priest hath lifted them up with the loaves of the +firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use. + +23:21. And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You +shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance +in all your dwellings and generations. + +23:22. And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to +the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain. But you +shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your +God. + +23:23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +23:24. Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first +day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with the sound +of trumpets, and it shall be called holy. + +23:25. You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a +holocaust to the Lord. + +23:26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +23:27. Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of +atonement. It shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you +shall await your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the +Lord. + +23:28. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it +is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto +you. + +23:29. Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from +among his people. + +23:30. And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy +from among his people. + +23:31. You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an +everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings. + +23:32. It is a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls +beginning on the ninth day of the month. From evening until evening you +shall celebrate your sabbaths. + +23:33. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +23:34. Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this +same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles, seven days +to the Lord. + +23:35. The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you +shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer +holocausts to the Lord. + +23:36. The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy: and you +shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and +congregation. You shall do no servile work therein. + +23:37. These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall call most solemn +and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord: holocausts +and libations according to the rite of every day. + +23:38. Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those +things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord +voluntarily. + +23:39. So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall +have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the +feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day and the eighth shall be a +sabbath: that is a day of rest. + +23:40. And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the +fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and +willows of the brook: And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God. + +23:41. And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. +It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh +month shall you celebrate this feast. + +23:42. And you shall dwell in bowers seven days. Every one that is of +the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles: + +23:43. That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel +to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I +am the Lord your God. + +23:44. And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children +of Israel. + +Leviticus Chapter 24 + +The oil for the lamps. The loaves of proposition. The punishment of +blasphemy. + +24:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +24:2. Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the +finest and clearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually, + +24:3. Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the +covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the +Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations. + +24:4. They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord +continually. + +24:5. Thou shalt take also fine flour, and shalt bake twelve loaves +thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf. + +24:6. And thou shalt set them six and six, one against another, upon the +most clean table before the Lord. + +24:7. And thou shalt put upon them the clearest frankincense, that the +bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord. + +24:8. Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord: being +received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. + +24:9. And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in +the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by +a perpetual right. + +24:10. And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she +had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel: and fell at words in +the camp with a man of Israel. + +24:11. And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was +brought to Moses. (Now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of +Dabri, of the tribe of Dan.) + +24:12. And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord +would command. + +24:13. And the Lord spoke to Moses, + +24:14. Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp: and let them +that heard him, put their hands upon his head: and let all the people +stone him. + +24:15. And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: The man that +curseth his God, shall bear his sin: + +24:16. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die. +All the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. +He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die. + +24:17. He that striketh and killeth a man: dying let him die. + +24:18. He that killeth a beast, shall make it good that is to say, shall +give beast for beast. + +24:19. He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath +done, so shall it be done to him: + +24:20. Breach for breach, eye for ere, tooth for tooth, shall he +restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer. + +24:21. He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh +a man shall be punished. + +24:22. Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, +or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God. + +24:23. And Moses spoke to the children of Israel. And they brought forth +him that had blasphemed, without the camp: and they stoned him. And the +children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +Leviticus Chapter 25 + +The law of the seventh and of the fiftieth year of jubilee. + +25:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying: + +25:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When +you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, observe the +rest of the sabbath of the Lord. + +25:3. Six years thou shalt sow thy field and six years thou shalt prune +thy vineyard, and shalt gather the fruits thereof. + +25:4. But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath to the land, of +the resting of the Lord. Thou shalt not sow thy field, nor prune thy +vineyard. + +25:5. What the ground shall bring forth of itself, thou shalt not reap: +neither shalt thou gather the grapes or the firstfruits as a vintage. +For it is a year of rest to the land. + +25:6. But they shall be unto you for meat, to thee and to thy +manservant, to thy maidservant and thy hireling, and to the strangers +that sojourn with thee. + +25:7. All things that grow shall be meat to thy beasts and to thy +cattle. + +25:8. Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years: that is to +say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years. + +25:9. And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth +day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land. + +25:10. And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim +remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of +jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall +go back to his former family: + +Remission... That is, a general release and discharge from debts and +bondage, and a reinstating of every man in his former possessions. + +25:11. Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not +sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, +neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines, + +25:12. Because of the sanctification of the jubilee. But as they grow +you shall presently eat them. + +25:13. In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions. + +25:14. When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of +him: grieve not thy brother. But thou shalt buy of him according to the +number of years from the jubilee. + +25:15. And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the +fruits. + +25:16. The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price +increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the +purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits. + +25:17. Do not afflict your countrymen: but let every one fear his God. +Because I am the Lord your God. + +25:18. Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfil them: that you +may dwell in the land without any fear. + +25:19. And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat +your fill, fearing no man's invasion. + +25:20. But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow +not, nor gather our fruits? + +25:21. I will give you my blessing the sixth year: and it shall yield +the fruits of three years. + +25:22. And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old +fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old +store. + +25:23. The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and +you are strangers and sojourners with me. + +25:24. For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under +the condition of redemption. + +25:25. If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and +his kinsman will: he may redeem what he had sold. + +25:26. But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to +redeem it: + +25:27. The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he +sold it. And the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall +receive his possession again. + +25:28. But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer +shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that +year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient +possessor. + +25:29. He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have +the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired. + +25:30. If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer +shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, +not even in the jubilee. + +25:31. But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be +sold according to the same law as the fields. If it be not redeemed +before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner. + +25:32. The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be +redeemed. + +25:33. If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to +the owners: because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for +their possessions among the children of Israel. + +25:34. But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual +possession. + +25:35. If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou +receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee: + +25:36. Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest. Fear thy God, +that thy brother may live with thee. + +25:37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury: nor exact of him +any increase of fruits. + +25:38. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, +that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God. + +25:39. If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee: thou +shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants. + +25:40. But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work +with thee until the year of the jubilee. + +25:41. And afterwards he shall go out with his children: and shall +return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers. + +25:42. For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of +Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen. + +25:43. Afflict him not by might: but fear thy God. + +25:44. Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are +round about you: + +25:45. And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of +them in your land. These you shall have for servants: + +25:46. And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, +and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the +children of Israel by might. + +25:47. If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, +and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his +race: + +25:48. After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren +shall redeem him: + +25:49. Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, or his kinsman, by blood, +or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself: + +25:50. Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the +year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, +according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired +servant. + +25:51. If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according +to them shall he also repay the price. + +25:52. If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the +number of the years: and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of +the years. + +25:53. His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not +afflict him violently in thy sight. + +25:54. And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the +jubilee he shall go out with his children. + +25:55. For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth +out of the land of Egypt. + +Leviticus Chapter 26 + +God's promises to them that keep his commandments. And the many +punishments with which he threatens transgressors. + +26:1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not make to yourselves any idol +or graven thing: neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a +remarkable stone in your land, to adore it. For I am the Lord your God. + +26:2. Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. + +26:3. If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, +I will give you rain in due seasons. + +26:4. And the ground shall bring forth its increase: and the trees shall +be filled with fruit. + +26:5. The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and +the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your +bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear. + +26:6. I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall +be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword +shall not pass through your quarters. + +26:7. You shall pursue your enemies: and they shall fall before you. + +26:8. Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others: and a hundred of you +ten thousand. Your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. + +26:9. I will look on you, and make you increase: you shall be +multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you. + +26:10. You shall eat the oldest of the old store: and, new coming on, +you shall cast away the old. + +26:11. I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you: and my soul shall +not cast you off. + +26:12. I will walk among you, and will be your God: and you shall be my +people. + +26:13. I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of +the Egyptians, that you should not serve them: and who have broken the +chains of your necks, that you might go upright. + +26:14. But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments: + +26:15. If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do +those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant: + +26:16. I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with +poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your +lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your +enemies. + +26:17. I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before +your enemies: and shall be made subject to them that hate you. You shall +flee when no man pursueth you. + +26:18. But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you +seven times more for your sins. + +26:19. And I will break the pride of your stubbornness: and I will make +to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass. + +26:20. Your labour shall be spent in vain: the ground shall not bring +forth her increase: nor the trees yield their fruit. + +26:21. If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will +bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins. + +26:22. And I will send in upon you the beasts of the field, to destroy +you and your cattle, and make you few in number: and that your highways +may be desolate. + +26:23. And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me: + +26:24. I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times +for your sins. + +26:25. And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my +covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the +pestilence in the midst of you. And you shall be delivered into the +hands of your enemies, + +26:26. After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten +women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and +you shall eat, and shall not be filled, + +26:27. But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk +against me, + +26:28. I will also go against you with opposite fury: and I will +chastise you with seven plagues for your sins, + +26:29. So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your +daughters. + +26:30. I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall +fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. + +26:31. Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness: and I +will make your sanctuaries desolate: and will receive no more your sweet +odours. + +26:32. And I will destroy your land: and your enemies shall be +astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof. + +26:33. And I will scatter you among the Gentiles: and I will draw out +the sword after you. And your land shall be desert, and your cities +destroyed. + +26:34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her +desolation. When you shall be + +26:35. In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the +sabbaths of her desolation: because she did not rest in your sabbaths, +when you dwelt therein. + +26:36. And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their +hearts in the countries of their enemies. The sound of a flying leaf +shall terrify them: and they shall flee as it were from the sword. They +shall fall, when no man pursueth them. + +26:37. And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from +wars: none of you shall dare to resist your enemies. + +26:38. You shall perish among the Gentiles: and an enemy's land shall +consume you. + +26:39. And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their +iniquities, in the land of their enemies: and they shall be afflicted +for the sins of their fathers, and their own. + +26:40. Until they confess their iniquities, and the iniquities of their +ancestors, whereby they have transgressed against me, and walked +contrary unto me. + +26:41. Therefore I also will walk against them, and bring them into +their enemies' land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed. Then +shall they pray for their sins. + +26:42. And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and +Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land: + +26:43. Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, +being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because +they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws. + +26:44. And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, +I did not cast them off altogether. Neither did I so despise them that +they should be quite consumed: and I should make void my covenant with +them. For I am the Lord their God. + +26:45. And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out +of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I +am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the +Lord gave between him and the children of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the +hand of Moses. + +Leviticus Chapter 27 + +Of vows and tithes. + +27:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +27:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The +man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give +the price according to estimation. + +27:3. If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he +shall give fifty sicles of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary: + +27:4. If a woman, thirty. + +27:5. But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give +twenty sicles: a woman ten. + +27:6. From one month until the fifth year, for a male shall be given +five sicles: for a female three. + +27:7. A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen +sicles: a woman ten. + +27:8. If he be poor, and not able to pay the estimation, he shall stand +before the priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him +able to pay, so much shall he give. + +27:9. But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if any one shall +vow, shall be holy, + +27:10. And cannot be changed: that is to say, neither a better for a +worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that +which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be +consecrated to the Lord. + +27:11. An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if any +man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest: + +27:12. Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price. + +27:13. Which, if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the +estimation the fifth part. + +27:14. If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the +priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad: and it shall be +sold according to the price, which he shall appoint. + +27:15. But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth +part of the estimation over and above: and shall have the house. + +27:16. And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to +the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. +If the ground be sown with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for +fifty sicles of silver. + +27:17. If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is +beginning: as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated. + +27:18. But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money +according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the +price shall be abated. + +27:19. And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the +fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it. + +27:20. And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he +that vowed it, may not redeem it any more. + +27:21. For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the +Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the +priest. + +27:22. If a field that was bought, and not of a man's ancestors' +possession, be sanctified to the Lord: + +27:23. The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of +years, unto the jubilee. And he that had vowed, shall give that to the +Lord. + +27:24. But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had +sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession. + +27:25. All estimation shall be made according to the sicle of the +sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols. + +27:26. The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and +vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord's. + +27:27. And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem +it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the +price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how +much soever it was estimated by thee. + +27:28. Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or +beast, or field, shall not be sold: neither may it be redeemed. +Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord. + +27:29. And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be +redeemed, but dying shall die. + +27:30. All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of +trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him. + +27:31. And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth +part of them. + +27:32. Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under +the shepherd's rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the +Lord. + +27:33. It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be +changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, +and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and +shall not be redeemed. + +27:34. These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the +children of Israel in mount Sinai. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 3 *** + +********** This file should be named 8303.txt or 8303.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
