Lev 22:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 22:2 “Speak to Aharon and his sons, that they separate themselves from
the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and that they do not
profane My set-apart Name in what they set apart to Me. I am יהוה.
Lev 22:3 “Say to them, ‘Any man of all your offspring throughout your
generations who draws near the set-apart offerings which the children of
Yisra’ĕl set apart to יהוה, while he has uncleanness upon him, that being shall
be cut off from before Me. I am יהוה.
Lev 22:4 ‘Any man of the offspring of Aharon, who is a leper or has a
discharge, does not eat the set-apart offerings until he is clean. And whoever
touches what is rendered unclean by a corpse, or a man who has had an
emission of semen,
Lev 22:5 or a man who touches any creeping creature by which he would be
made unclean, or any being by whom he would become unclean, even any of
his uncleanness;
Lev 22:6 the being who has touched it shall be unclean until evening, and
does not eat the set-apart offerings, but shall bathe his body in water.
Lev 22:7 ‘And when the sun goes down he shall be clean, and afterward eat
the set-apart offerings, because it is his food.
Lev 22:8 ‘He does not eat that which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming
unclean by it. I am יהוה.
Lev 22:9 ‘And they shall guard My Charge, lest they bear sin for it and die
thereby, when they profane it. I יהוה set them apart.
Lev 22:10 ‘And no stranger eats the set-apart offering. A sojourner with the
priest, or a hired servant, does not eat the set-apart offering.
Lev 22:11 ‘But when the priest buys a being with his money, he does eat of
it. And one who is born in his house does eat his food.
Lev 22:12 ‘And when a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she does
not eat of the set-apart offerings.
Lev 22:13 ‘But when a priest’s daughter is a widow or put away, and has no
child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she does eat her
father’s food, but no stranger eats of it.
Lev 22:14 ‘And when a man eats the set-apart offering by mistake, then he
shall give a set-apart offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it.
Lev 22:15 ‘And let the priests not profane the set-apart offerings of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה,
Lev 22:16 or allow them to bear the crookedness of trespass when they eat
their set-apart offerings. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”
Lev 22:17 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 22:18 “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl,
and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers in
Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for any of his
voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה as a burnt offering,
Lev 22:19 for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one from the cattle, from
the sheep, or from the goats.
Lev 22:20 ‘Whatever has a defect, you do not bring, for it is not acceptable
for you.
Lev 22:21 ‘And when a man brings a peace offering to יהוה, to complete a
vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to
be accepted, let there be no defect in it.
Lev 22:22 ‘Those blind or broken or having a cut, or have an ulcer or
eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of
them on the altar to יהוה.
Lev 22:23 ‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed
you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted.
Lev 22:24 ‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut,
nor do it in your land.
Lev 22:25 ‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these
as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in
them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ”
Lev 22:26 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 22:27 “When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days
with its mother. And from the eighth day and thereafter it is acceptable as an
offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev 22:28 “But do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same
day.
Lev 22:29 “And when you bring a slaughtering of thanksgiving to יהוה, bring
it for your acceptance.
Lev 22:30 “It is eaten that same day, leave none of it till morning. I am יהוה.
Lev 22:31 “And you shall guard My commands and do them. I am יהוה.
Lev 22:32 “And do not profane My set-apart Name, and I shall be set-apart
among the children of Yisra’ĕl. I am יהוה, who sets you apart,
Lev 22:33 who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim.
 I am יהוה.”

times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My
appointed times, are these:

Lev 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them,
‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest,
then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On
the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
Lev 23:12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a
male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
Lev 23:13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed
with oil, an offering made by fire to  ,יהוהa sweet fragrance, and its drink
offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the
same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Lev 23:15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you
brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven
completed Sabbaths.
Lev 23:16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days,
then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.
Lev 23:17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of
bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven,
first-fruits to יהוה.
Lev 23:18 ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old,
perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to
יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by
fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
Lev 23:19 ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two
male lambs a year old, as a peace offering.
Lev 23:20 ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-
fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-
apart to יהוה for the priest.
Lev 23:21 ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering
for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your
dwellings throughout your generations.
Lev 23:22 ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely
reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning
from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ”
Lev 23:23 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:24 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh month,
on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of
trumpets, a set-apart gathering.
Lev 23:25 ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by
fire to .יהוה’ ”
Lev 23:26 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement.
It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and
shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev 23:28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of
Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.
Lev 23:29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be
cut off from his people.

shall destroy from the midst of his people.

On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you
observe your Sabbath.”
Lev 23:33 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:34 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of
this seventh month is the Festival of Booths for seven days to יהוה.
Lev 23:35 ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
Lev 23:36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the
eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an
offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work.
Lev 23:37 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-
apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to  ,יהוהa burnt offering and
a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every
day –
Lev 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your gifts, and besides
all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you give to
.יהוה
Lev 23:39 ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the
fruit of the land, observe the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is
a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
Lev 23:40 ‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of
good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the
stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days.
Lev 23:41 ‘And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה for seven days in
the year – a law forever in your generations. Observe it in the seventh month.
Lev 23:42 ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites
dwell in booths,
Lev 23:43 so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ĕl
dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ”
Lev 23:44 Thus did Mosheh speak of the appointed times of יהוה to the
children of Yisra’ĕl.

woman’s son and a man of Yisra’ĕl strove in the camp.
Lev 24:11 And the Yisra’ĕlite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and
cursed. So they brought him to Mosheh. Now his mother’s name was
Shelomith the daughter of Diḇri, of the tribe of Dan.
Lev 24:12 And they put him in under guard, that it might be declared to them
at the mouth of יהוה.

who heard him shall lay their hands on his head, and all the congregation
shall stone him.

curses his Elohim shall bear his sin.

the one who cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the
children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.

Lev 25:12 ‘It is a Jubilee, it is set-apart to you. Eat from the field its crops.
Lev 25:13 ‘In the Year of this Jubilee let each one of you return to his
possession.
Lev 25:14 ‘And when you sell whatever to your neighbour or buy from the

your neighbour, and according to the number of years of crops he sells to you.

For I am יהוה your Elohim.

possession.
Lev 25:25 ‘When your brother becomes poor, and has sold some of his
possession, and his redeemer, a close relative comes to redeem it, then he
shall redeem what his brother sold.
Lev 25:26 ‘And when the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself
becomes able to redeem it,
Lev 25:27 then let him count the years since its sale, and return the
remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he shall return to his
possession.
Lev 25:28 ‘And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then
what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of
Jubilee. And it shall be released in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his
possession.
Lev 25:29 ‘And when a man sells a house in a walled city, then his right of
redemption shall be at the end of the year after it is sold. His right of
redemption lasts a year.
Lev 25:30 ‘But if it is not redeemed within a complete year, then the house
in the walled city shall be established beyond reclaim to the buyer of it,
throughout his generations. It is not released in the Jubilee.
Lev 25:31 ‘The houses of villages, however, which have no wall around

to it, and they are released in the Jubilee.
Lev 25:32 ‘As for the cities of the Lĕwites, and the houses in the cities of
their possession, the Lĕwites have a right of redemption forever.
Lev 25:33 ‘And that which is redeemed from the Lĕwites, both the sale of a
house and the city of his possession shall be released in the Year of Jubilee,
because the houses in the cities of the Lĕwites are their possession in the
midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Lev 25:34 ‘But the field of the open land of their cities is not sold, for it is
their everlasting possession.

with you, then you shall sustain him, and he shall live with you, like a
stranger or a sojourner.
Lev 25:36 ‘Take no interest from him, or profit, but you shall fear your
Elohim, and your brother shall live with you.

Lev 25:40 ‘But as a hired servant, as a settler he is with you, and serves you
until the Year of Jubilee.
Lev 25:41 ‘And then he shall leave you, he and his children with him, and
shall return to his own clan, even return to the possession of his fathers.
Lev 25:42 ‘For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of
Mitsrayim, they are not sold as slaves.
Lev 25:43 ‘Do not rule over him with harshness, but you shall fear your
Elohim.
Lev 25:44 ‘And your male and female slaves whom you have from the
nations that are around you, from them you buy male and female slaves,
Lev 25:45 and also from the sons of the strangers sojourning among you,
from them you buy, and from their clans who are with you, which they shall
bring forth in your land, and they shall be your property.
Lev 25:46 ‘And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after
you, to inherit them as a possession, they are your slaves for all time. But
over your brothers, the children of Yisra’ĕl, you do not rule with harshness,
one over another.
Lev 25:47 ‘Now when a sojourner or a settler with you becomes rich, and
your brother with him becomes poor, and sells himself to the settler or
sojourner with you, or to a member of the sojourner’s clan,
Lev 25:48 after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption to him – one
of his brothers does redeem him,
Lev 25:49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son does redeem him, or anyone who is
a close relative to him in his clan does redeem him, or if he is able, then he
shall redeem himself.
Lev 25:50 ‘And he shall reckon with him who bought him: The price of his
release shall be according to the number of years, from the year that he was
sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; as the days of a hired servant it is with
him.
Lev 25:51 ‘If there are yet many years, according to them he repays the price
of his redemption, from the silver of his purchase.
Lev 25:52 ‘And if few years are left until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall
reckon with him, and according to his years he repays him the price of his
redemption.
Lev 25:53 ‘He is with him as a yearly hired servant, and he does not rule
with harshness over him before your eyes.
Lev 25:54 ‘And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall be
released in the Year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.
Lev 25:55 ‘Because the children of Yisra’ĕl are servants to Me, they are My
servants whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.
