Leviticus

“And if a soul sins and hears the voice of an oath, and he [is] a witness, whether he has seen or he has known, if he does not tell, then he shall bear his iniquity.

And if a soul sins and does one from all the commandments of YHWH which are not to be done, and he has not known, and he is guilty, then he shall bear his iniquity.

“If a soul sins and acts unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—against YHWH and has lied to his neighbor concerning a deposit, or concerning a pledge of hand, or concerning a robbery, or if he has extorted his neighbor,

or if he has found a lost thing and has lied concerning it, and has sworn upon falsehood—upon one from all that the man does, to sin in them.

And it shall be, when he sins and is guilty, that he shall return the plunder that he has stolen, or the extortion that he has extorted, or the deposit that has been deposited with him, or the lost thing that he found,

or from all about which he swore to a lie. And He shall restore it in its principal and he shall add a fifth to it; to whomever it belongs, he shall give it in the day of his guilt offering.

And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, each took his firepan, and they put fire in it, and they put incense on it, and they brought near before the face of YHWH strange fire, which He had not commanded them.

And fire went out from before the face of YHWH, and it consumed them, and they died before the face of YHWH.

And Moses said to Aaron, “It [is] what YHWH spoke, saying, ‘By those drawing near to Me I will be shown holy, and before the faces of all the people I will be glorified.’” And Aaron was silent.

And Moses called to Mishael and to Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and he said to them, “Draw near, carry your⁺ brothers from the face of the Holy Place, to the outside of the camp.”

And they drew near, and they carried them in their tunics to the outside of the camp, as Moses had spoken.

And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, “Do not uncover your⁺ heads and do not tear your⁺ clothes, and you⁺ shall not die, and upon all the congregation He will be angry. And your⁺ brothers, the whole house of Israel, shall weep the burning that YHWH has burned.

And you⁺ shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you⁺ die; for the anointing oil of YHWH [is] upon you⁺.” And they did according to the word of Moses.

For I [am] YHWH your⁺ God. And you⁺ shall sanctify yourselves, and you⁺ shall be holy, for I [am] holy. And you⁺ shall not make unclean your souls with any swarming thing that crawls upon the earth.

For I [am] YHWH, the One bringing you⁺ up from the land of Egypt, to be your⁺ God; and you⁺ shall be holy, for I [am] holy.

And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.

You⁺ shall not do according to the work of the land of Egypt in which you⁺ dwelt, and according to the work of the land of Canaan where I am bringing you⁺, you⁺ shall not do, and in their statutes you⁺ shall not walk.

You⁺ shall do My judgments, and you⁺ shall keep My statutes, to walk in them. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.

And to a woman in the menstruation of her uncleanness you shall not draw near to uncover her nakedness.

And to the wife of your neighbor you shall not give your lying to seed to defile yourself with her.

And from your seed you shall not give to pass over to Molech, and you shall not profane the name of your God. I [am] YHWH.

Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for by all these the nations have defiled themselves, which I [am] sending away from before your⁺ faces.

And the land is defiled; and I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out those dwelling in it.

And you⁺ shall keep My statutes and My judgments, and you⁺ shall not do from all of these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your⁺ midst—

for the men of the land who [were] before your⁺ faces have done all these abominations, and the land was defiled—

And the land will not vomit you⁺ out when you⁺ defile it, as it vomited out the nation that [was] before your⁺ faces.

For anyone who does from all these abominations—then the soul who do [them]—shall be cut off from among their people.

And you⁺ shall keep My charge, to not do from the statutes of the abominations that have been done before your⁺ faces, and you⁺ shall not defile yourselves by them. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.”

Each man shall fear his mother and his father, and you⁺ shall keep My Sabbaths. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.

And in your⁺ reaping the harvest of your⁺ land, you shall not complete reaping the edge of your field, and the gleanings of your harvest you shall not gather.

And your vineyard—you shall not glean, and the fallen grapes of your vineyard you shall not gather. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.

And when you⁺ come into the land, and you plant every [kind] of tree for food, then you⁺ shall regard their fruit uncircumcised. Three years it shall be uncircumcised to you⁺; it shall not be eaten.

You⁺ shall not round off the edge of your⁺ head, and you shall not destroy the edge of your beard.

You shall not profane your daughter by making her practice prostitution, and the land will not practice prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.

And a man who commits his copulation with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and the animal you⁺ shall kill.

And a son of a woman, an Israelitess, went out (and he the son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel. And this son of the Israelitess and a man of the Israelites fought each other in the camp.

And the son of the woman, the Israelitess, blasphemed the Name and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. And His mother’s name [was] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

And they put him in custody, that it might be shown to them upon the mouth of YHWH.

And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

“Take him who has cursed to the outside of the camp, and let all who heard [him] lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any man curses his God, then he shall bear his sin.

And whoever blasphemes the name of YHWH must surely be put to death. All the congregation must surely stone him, as the sojourner, as the native; when he blasphemes the name he shall be put to death.

And whoever kills any man, he must surely be put to death.
