16And Moses diligently inquired for the goat of the sin-offering, and, be- hold, it was burnt; and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying: 171 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanc- tuary, seeing it is most holy, and He hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atone- ment for them before the LORD? 18Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within; ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.' 19And Aaron spoke unto Moses: 'Be- hold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before the LORD, and there have be- fallen me such things as these; and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of the LORD?' 20And when Moses heard that, it was well-pleasing in his sight.
"j "j And the LORD spoke unto Moses •*~ -1- and to Aaron, saying unto them: sSpeak unto the children of Israel, saying: These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
LEVITICUS Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you. 5And the rock-badger, be- cause he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you. 6And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you. 7And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you. 80f their flesh ye shall not eat, and their car- casses ye shall not touch; they are un- clean unto you.
^These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them may ye eat. 10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are a detestable thing unto you, uand they shall be a detestable thing unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in detestation. ^Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you.
13And these ye shall have in detesta- tion among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are a detestable thing, the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray; 14and the kite, and the falcon after its kinds; 15every raven after its kinds; 16and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds; 17and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl; 18and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture; 19and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat* 20A11 winged swarming things that go upon afl fours are a detestable thing unto you. ^Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth; ^even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kinds, and the bald locust after its lands, and the cricket after its kinds, and the grasshopper after its kinds. ^But all winged swarming things, which have four feet, are a detestable thing unto you.
^And by these ye shall become un- clean; whosoever toucheth the car- cass of them shall be unclean until the even. 26And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 26Every beast which parteth the hoof, but is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you; every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 27And whatsoever goeth up- on its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you; whoso toucheth then* carcass shall be unclean until the even. 28And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; they are unclean unto you.
29And these are they which are un- clean unto you among the swarming things that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kinds, 30and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon. 31These are they which are unclean to you among all that swarm; whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even. 32And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; LEVITICUS LEVITICUS whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean. 33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break. ^All food there- in which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink in every such vessel that may be drunk shall be unclean. 35And every- thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. 36Nevertheless a fountain or a cistern wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean; but he who toucheth their carcass shall be un- clean. 37And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 38But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of then* carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.
39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
^And every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth is a detest- able thing; it shall not be eaten. ^Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all swarming things that swarm upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are a detestable thing, ^Ye shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarm- eth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. ^For I am the LORD your God; sanctify yourselves there- fore, and be ye holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of swarming thing that moveth upon the earth. 45For I am the LORD that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
^This is the law of the beast, and of the fowl, and of every living crea- ture that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that swarmeth upon the earth; 47to make a difference be- tween the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
~J O And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: v If a woman be delivered, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the im- purity of her sickness shall she be un- clean. 8And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4And she shall continue in the blood of purification three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled. 6But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her im- purity; and she shall continue in the blood of purification threescore and six days. 6And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-nfferinff unto the door of thp LEVITICUS LEVITICUS tent of meeting, unto the priest. 7And he shall offer it before the LOKD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female. 8And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle- doves, or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
•j O And the LORD spoke unto Moses ^ and unto Aaron, saying: a man shall have in the skin of ids flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests. 3And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh; and if the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy- and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him Tin- clean. 4And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the ap- pearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days. 6And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague stay in its appearance, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut hirY\ up seven days more. 6And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pro- nounce Mm clean: it is a scab; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown him- self to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again. 8And the priest shall look, and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him, unclean: it is leprosy.
9When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest. 10And the priest shall look, and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising, uit i§ an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean. ^And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to the priest; 13thentthe priest shall look; and, be- hold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that ha-th the plague; it is all turned white: he is clean. 14But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. 15And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is un- clean: it is leprosy. 16But if the raw flesh again be turned into white, then he shall come unto the priest; 17and the priest shall look on him; and, be- hold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
*8And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed, 9and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, red- dish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest. 20And the priest shall look; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and LEVITICUS the hair thereof be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him un- clean: it is the plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil. 21But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days. ^And if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pro- nounce him unclean: it is a plague. ^But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
240r when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white; 25then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright | spot be turned white, and the appear- ance thereof be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy. 26But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days. 27And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day; if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 28And if the bright spot stay in its place, and be ^ not spread in the skin, but be dim, it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the burning.
29And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard, 30then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the appear- ance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 31And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days. ^And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appear- ance of the scall be not deeper than the skin, 33then he shall be shaven, but the scaU shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more. ^And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall; and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the ap- pearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pro- nounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. ^But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing, 36then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair: he is unclean. 37But if the scall stay in its appearance, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce brm clean.
38And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; 39then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin: he is clean.
40And if a man's hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. ^And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead- LEVITICUS bald; yet is lie clean. ^But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. ^Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald fore- head, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, ^he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean: his plague is in his head.
^And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry: 'Unclean, unclean.' ^All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean; he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be.
47And when the plague of leprosy is in a garment, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 48or in the warp, or in the woof, whether they be of linen, or of wool; or in a skin, or in any thing made of skin: ^if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is the plague of lep- rosy, and shall be shown unto the priest. "And the priest shall look up- on the plague, and shut up that which hath the plague seven days. 5lAnd he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for, the plague is a malignant leprosy: it is unclean. ^And he shall burn the garment, or the warp, or the woof, whether it be of wool or of linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is; for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire. ^And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; ^then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more. 55And the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its colour, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without. ^And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing thereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof. 57And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is breaking out, thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 58And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean. 59This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, to pro- nounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
1 A. And the LORD spoke unto Moses, x:r saying: 2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the priest. 3And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; Hhen shall the priest com- mand to take for him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
LEVITICUS sAnd the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 6As for the liv- ing bird, he shall take it, and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the liv- ing bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 7And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into the open field. 8And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean; and after that he may come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days. 9And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 10And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blem- ish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal- offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. "And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meet- ing. 12And the priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him for a guilt- offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave-offering before the LORD. 13And he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the sin- offering and the burnt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin- offering is the priest's, so is the guilt- offering; it is most holy. 14And the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 15And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. 16And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. 17And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the guilt-offering. 18And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed; and the priest shall make atonement for him be- fore the LORD. 19And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atone- ment for him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness; and after- ward he shall kill the burnt-offering. 20And the priest shall offer the burnt- offering and the meal-offering upon the altar; and the priest shall make atonement for TIITY^ and he shall be clean.
21And if he be poor, and his means suffice not, then he shall take one he- lamb for a guilt-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of oil; ^and two turtle- doves, or two young pigeons, such as his means suffice for; and the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering. ^And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleans- ing unto the priest, unto the door of the tent of meeting, before the LORD. MAnd the priest shall take the lamb of the scuilt-offerine, and the LEVITICUS log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before the LOED. 25And he shall kill the lamb of the guiltroffering, and the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt- offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. 27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. 28And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the geult-offering. 29Aiid the rest of the oir^hat is in the priest's hand he shall puti upon the head of him that is to bejcleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD. 30And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as his means suffice for; 31even such as his means suffice for, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meal-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
^This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose means suffice not for that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
^And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 34When ye are come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 35then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying: 'There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house/ 36And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go^m to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house. 37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the wans of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall; 38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. 39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; ^then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city. ^And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place. ^And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house. ^And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that the stones have been taken out, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it is plastered; ^hen the priest shall come in and look • and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house: it is unclean. ^And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47And he;fchat lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; LEVITICUS and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 48And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scar- let, and hyssop. 50And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 61And he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet. ^But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open field; so shall he make atone- ment for the house; and it shall ^be clean.
MThis is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall; Kand for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house; ^and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; 57to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean; this is the law of leprosy.
