abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you. 020:026 You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine. 020:027 "'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'" 021:001 Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people; 021:002 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother, 021:003 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself. 021:004 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 021:005 "'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 021:006 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. 021:007 "'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God. 021:008 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy. 021:009 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire. 021:010 "'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes; 021:011 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 021:012 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh. 021:013 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity. 021:014 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife. 021:015 He shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.'" 021:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 021:017 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God. 021:018 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity, 021:019 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand, 021:020 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles; 021:021 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 021:022 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 021:023 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'" 021:024 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel. 022:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 022:002 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh. 022:003 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh. 022:004 "'Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him; 022:005 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has; 022:006 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water. 022:007 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 022:008 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh. 022:009 "'They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them. 022:010 "'No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 022:011 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. 022:012 If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 022:013 But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it. 022:014 "'If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest. 022:015 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh, 022:016 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'" 022:017 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 022:018 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, 'Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering; 022:019 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats. 022:020 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 022:021 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. 022:022 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh. 022:023 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 022:024 That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to Yahweh; neither shall you do thus in your land. 022:025 Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.'" 022:026 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 022:027 "When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 022:028 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day. 022:029 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 022:030 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh. 022:031 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh. 022:032 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy, 022:033 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh." 023:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 023:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts. 023:003 "'Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings. 023:004 "'These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season. 023:005 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Yahweh's Passover. 023:006 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 023:007 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work. 023:008 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.'" 023:009 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 023:010 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its the harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: 023:011 and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 023:012 On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh. 023:013 The meal offering with it shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a sweet savor; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. 023:014 You shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 023:015 "'You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed: 023:016 even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh. 023:017 You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Yahweh. 023:018 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh. 023:019 You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 023:020 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest. 023:021 You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 023:022 "'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap into the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.'" 023:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 023:024 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 023:025 You shall do no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.'" 023:026 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 023:027 "However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 023:028 You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God. 023:029 For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people. 023:030 Whoever it is who does any manner of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 023:031 You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 023:032 It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath." 023:033 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 023:034 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say, 'On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tents for seven days to Yahweh. 023:035 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work. 023:036 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work. 023:037 "'These are the appointed feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day; 023:038 besides the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to Yahweh. 023:039 "'So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 023:040 You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days. 023:041 You shall keep it a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month. 023:042 You shall dwell in booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths, 023:043 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'" 023:044 Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of Yahweh. 024:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 024:002 "Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 024:003 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 024:004 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before Yahweh continually. 024:005 "You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake. 024:006 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh. 024:007 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 024:008 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant. 024:009 It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute." 024:010 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp. 024:011 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 024:012 They put him in custody, until the will of Yahweh should be declared to them. 024:013 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 024:014 "Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 024:015 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 024:016 He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death. 024:017 "'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 024:018 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. 024:019 If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 024:020 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him. 024:021 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death. 024:022 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am Yahweh your God.'" 024:023 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses. 025:001 Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai, 025:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to Yahweh. 025:003 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits; 025:004 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yahweh. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. 025:005 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 025:006 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you. 025:007 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all the increase of it be for food. 025:008 "'You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years. 025:009 Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. 025:010 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. 025:011 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines. 025:012 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field. 025:013 "'In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property. 025:014 "'If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another. 025:015 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you. 025:016 According to the length of the years you shall increase the price of it, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish the price of it; for he is selling the number of the crops to you. 025:017 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God. 025:018 "'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 025:019 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 025:020 If you said, "What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;" 025:021 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years. 025:022 You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store. 025:023 "'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me. 025:024 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. 025:025 "'If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold. 025:026 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it; 025:027 then let him reckon the years since the sale of it, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property. 025:028 But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property. 025:029 "'If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption. 025:030 If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee. 025:031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee. 025:032 "'Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 025:033 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 025:034 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 025:035 "'If your brother has become poor, and his hand can't support him among you; then you shall uphold him. As a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you. 025:036 Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you. 025:037 You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 025:038 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 025:039 "'If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave. 025:040 As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee: 025:041 then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers. 025:042 For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves. 025:043 You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God. 025:044 "'As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. 025:045 Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property. 025:046 You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness. 025:047 "'If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger's family; 025:048 after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him; 025:049 or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself. 025:050 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him. 025:051 If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 025:052 If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption. 025:053 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight. 025:054 If he isn't redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him. 025:055 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God. 026:001 "'You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your God. 026:002 "'You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am Yahweh. 026:003 "'If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 026:004 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 026:005 Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 026:006 "'I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 026:007 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 026:008 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 026:009 "'I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you. 026:010 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new. 026:011 I will set my tent among you: and my soul won't abhor you. 026:012 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people. 026:013 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright. 026:014 "'But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments; 026:015 and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; 026:016 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it. 026:017 I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you. 026:018 "'If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. 026:019 I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass; 026:020 and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won't yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit. 026:021 "'If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. 026:022 I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate. 026:023 "'If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me; 026:024 then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins. 026:025 I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 026:026 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied. 026:027 "'If you in spite of this won't listen to me, but walk contrary to me; 026:028 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 026:029 You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters. 026:030 I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you. 026:031 I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings. 026:032 I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it. 026:033 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. 026:034 Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 026:035 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn't have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it. 026:036 "'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues. 026:037 They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies. 026:038 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up. 026:039 Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 026:040 "'If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me, 026:041 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity; 026:042 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land. 026:043 The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. 026:044 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God; 026:045 but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.'" 026:046 These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses. 027:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 027:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your valuation. 027:003 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 027:004 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. 027:005 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 027:006 If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 027:007 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 027:008 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him. 027:009 "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy. 027:010 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. 027:011 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest; 027:012 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be. 027:013 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation. 027:014 "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand. 027:015 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his. 027:016 "'If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 027:017 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. 027:018 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation. 027:019 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his. 027:020 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more; 027:021 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests. 027:022 "'If he dedicates to Yahweh a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession, 027:023 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh. 027:024 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs. 027:025 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel. 027:026 "'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Yahweh, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is Yahweh's. 027:027 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation. 027:028 "'Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Yahweh. 027:029 "'No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. 027:030 "'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh. 027:031 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it. 027:032 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh. 027:033 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.'" 027:034 These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
