22:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from
the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not
my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your
generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of
Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that
soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running
issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And
whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose
seed goeth from him;
5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made
unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever
uncleanness he hath;
6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even,
and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with
water.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat
of the holy things; because it is his food.
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat
to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it,
and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the
priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it,
and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may
not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no
child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she
shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat
thereof.
14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put
the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with
the holy thing.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat
their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or
of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his
vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto
the LORD for a burnt offering;
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the
beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it
shall not be acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD
to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it
shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or
scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering
by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or
lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering;
but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed,
or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your
land.
25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God
of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be
in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it
shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and
thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young
both in one day.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD,
offer it at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it
until the morrow: I am the LORD.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the
LORD.
32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among
the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the
LORD. |

23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the
feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of
rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the
sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye
shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's
passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened
bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven
days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest
thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your
harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for
you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb
without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine
flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a
sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the
fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears,
until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God:
it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from
the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths
shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number
fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth
deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven;
they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of
the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for
a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their
drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto
the LORD.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering,
and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits
for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be
holy to the LORD for the priest.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy
convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be
a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make
clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither
shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them
unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in
the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of
blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of
atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall
afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of
atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same
day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the
same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your
souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even,
shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of
this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days
unto the LORD.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD:
on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall
offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly;
and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be
holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a
burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings,
every thing upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside
all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give
unto the LORD.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD
seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day
shall be a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees,
branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of
the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year.
It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate
it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born
shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel
to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am
the LORD your God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the
LORD. |

24:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil
olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the
congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning
before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your
generations.
4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD
continually.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two
tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure
table before the LORD.
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be
on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually,
being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the
holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD
made by fire by a perpetual statute.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian,
went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish
woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD,
and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name
was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed
them.
13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that
heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation
stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever
curseth his God shall bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be
put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as
well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth
the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.
17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so
shall it be done to him;
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused
a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that
killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for
one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring
forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones.
And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses. |

25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath
unto the LORD.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune
thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a
sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy
vineyard.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not
reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a
year of rest unto the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for
thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy
stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall
all the increase thereof be meat.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times
seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be
unto thee forty and nine years.
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the
tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make
the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty
throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be
a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession,
and ye shall return every man unto his family.
11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow,
neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes
in it of thy vine undressed.
12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the
increase thereof out of the field.
13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his
possession.
14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy
neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of
thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he
shall sell unto thee:
16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price
thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the
price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits
doth he sell unto thee.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy
God: for I am the LORD your God.
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do
them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and he shall eat your fill, and
dwell therein in safety.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we
shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it
shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until
the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old
store.
23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye
are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption
for the land.
25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his
possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he
redeem that which his brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to
redeem it;
27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the
overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his
possession.
28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold
shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of
jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto
his possession.
29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may
redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may
he redeem it.
30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the
house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him
that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the
jubile.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them
shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed,
and they shall go out in the jubile.
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the
cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold,
and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile:
for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among
the children of Israel.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for
it is their perpetual possession.
35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee;
then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a
sojourner; that he may live with thee.
36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy
brother may live with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy
victuals for increase.
38 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of
Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold
unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee,
and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with
him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of
his fathers shall he return.
42 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of
Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall
be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy
bondmen and bondmaids.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among
you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you,
which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after
you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for
ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule
one over another with rigour.
47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother
that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or
sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren
may redeem him:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that
is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be
able, he may redeem himself.
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he
was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale
shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of
an hired servant shall it be with him.
51 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall
give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was
bought for.
52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he
shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him
again the price of his redemption.
53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other
shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in
the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
55 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my
servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God. |

26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up
a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your
land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the
LORD.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield
her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage
shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the
full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none
shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land,
neither shall the sword go through your land.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by
the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall
put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by
the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the
new.
11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor
you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my
people.
13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of
Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the
bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments;
15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye
break my covenant:
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and
cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your
enemies shall eat it.
17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before
your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall
flee when none pursueth you.
18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will
punish you seven times more for your sins.
19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your
heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not
yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their
fruits.
21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I
will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and
your highways shall be desolate.
23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me;
24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet
seven times for your sins.
25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of
my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I
will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the
hand of the enemy.
26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread
again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;
28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I,
will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and
cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall
abhor you.
31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword
after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land
rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest
in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness
into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a
sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your
enemies.
38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall
they pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and
that also they have walked contrary unto me;
41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought
them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised
hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their
iniquity:
42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant
with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I
will remember the land.
43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my
judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them
utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their
God.
45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their
ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight
of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made
between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of
Moses. |

27:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man
shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy
estimation.
3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even
unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of
silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then
thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female
ten shekels.
6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy
estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the
female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then
thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten
shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present
himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according
to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD,
all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad
for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and
the exchange thereof shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a
sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the
priest:
12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou
valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part
thereof unto thy estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD,
then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the
priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall
add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it
shall be his.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of
his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed
thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of
silver.
17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy
estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest
shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain,
even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy
estimation.
19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it,
then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto
it, and it shall be assured to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field
to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto
the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the
priest's.
22 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought,
which is not of the fields of his possession;
23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation,
even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation
in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom
it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did
belong.
25 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the
sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's
firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is
the LORD's.
27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according
to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if
it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the
LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of
his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most
holy unto the LORD.
29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but
shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or
of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.
31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add
thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of
whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the
LORD.
33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he
change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change
thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in mount Sinai. |
