2. And ye shall be holy unto me; for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. 27. A man also, or woman, that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them. CHAP. XXI.

1Of the priest's mourning. 7, 13 Of their marriages. 1. AND the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people: 2. But for his kin that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;

3. And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband, for her may be be defiled.

4. But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane

himself.

5. They shall not make baldness upon their head; neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

6. They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer; therefore they shall be holy.

7. They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is hoty unto his God.

8. Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy.

9. And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt

with fire.

10. And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated his head, nor rend his clothes; to put on the garments, shall not uncover

11. Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for

his mother;

12. Neither shal】 he go out of the sanc

13. And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14. A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or a harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

15. Neither shall he profane his seed among his people; for I the LORD do sanctify him. And the LORD spake unto Moses,

16. saying,

17. Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations. that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God:

18. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

19. Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

20. Or crook-backt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy or scabbed, or hath his stones broken:

21. No man that hath a blemish of the

seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy;

23. Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

24. And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel. CHAP. XXII.

And whoso toucheth any thing that is un

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 sou! 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: 1 am the LORD.

9. They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: 1 the LORD do sanctify them.

10. There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or a 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 free-will-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

plish his vow, or a free-will-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 you 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. CHAP. XXIII.

1 The feast of the Lord. 3 The sabbath. 26 The day of

atonement. 33 The feast of tabernacles.

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, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

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 a 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 a 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 first-fruits 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, a 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 drinkoffering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a 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 first-fruits 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 young

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 first-fruits, for a wave-offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priests.

21. And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be a 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, a 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 a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an of fering 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

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.

47 The redemption of servants.

1.Amount Sinai, saying, ND the LORD spake unto Moses in

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 beasts 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 jubilee 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 jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

11. A jubilee 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 jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

13. In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

14. And if thou sell aught unto thy neighhour, or buyest aught of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

15. According to the number of years after the jubilee 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 ye 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 jubilee: and in the jubilee 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 jubilee.

31. But the houses of the villages which have no walls round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they
