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
