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 an he lamb without blemish 13 of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 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 drink offering thereof shall be 14 of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 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; 17 and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; 18 they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD. And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, 19 of sweet savour unto the LORD. 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 firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the 21 priest. And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an 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, 24 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sab25 bath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 26, 27 And the Lonn spake unto Moses, saying, Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the 28 LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, 29 to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his 30 people. And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same 31 soul will I destroy from among his people. Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall 32 be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 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. 33,34 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles 35 for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation : ye 36 shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a 2 solemn assembly; 97 and ye shall do no servile work therein. These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, 38 every thing upon his day: beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye 39 give unto the LORD. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. 40 And ye shall take you on the first day the 3 boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall 41 rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto 3 Heb. fruit. 1 Heb. rest. 2 Heb. day of restraint. the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your genera42 tions: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths seven 43 days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 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 the LORD your God. 44 24 1 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to 3 burn continually. Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before 4 the LORD continually it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. 5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals 6 shall be in one cake. And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon 7 the pure table before the LORD. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by 8 fire unto the LORD. Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute. 10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and 11 a man of Israel strove together in the camp; and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the 12 tribe of Dan:) and they put him in ward, 2 that the mind of the LORD might be 13, 14 showed them. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon 15 his head, and let all the congregation stone him. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be 17 put to death. And he that 3 killeth any man shall surely be put to death. 18, 19 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; 4 beast for beast. And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; 20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in 21 a man, so shall it be done to him again. And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore 22 it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I 23 am the LORD your God. 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. 25 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give 3 you, then shall the land 5 keep a sabbath unto the LORD. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit 4 thereof; 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 7 with thee, and for thy cattle, and for the beast 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. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet 7 of the jubilee to sound on the 1 Heb. to cause to ascend. 2 Heb. to cxpound unto them 3 Heb. smiteth the life of a man. 4 Heb. life for life, 6 Heb. of thy separation. 7 Heb. loud of sound. tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trum10 pet sound throughout all your land. 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 11 ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor 12 gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. For it is the jubilee; it shall be 13 holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. In the year 14 of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buyest aught of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not 15 oppress one another: 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 16, he shall sell unto thee: 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 17 thee. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 18 23 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and 19 ye shall dwell in the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye 20 shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 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 22 forth fruit for three years. 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. The land shall not be sold 12 for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are stran24 gers and sojourners with me. And in all the land of your possession ye shall 25 grant a redemption for the land. 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 26 he redeem that which his brother sold. And if the man have none to redeem 27 it, and 3 himself be able to redeem it; 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 28 return unto his possession. 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. And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it 80 within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 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 31 generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the coun32 try: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee. Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, 38 may the Levites redeem at any time. And if 5 a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession 34 among the children of Israel. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 29 35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and 6 fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt 7 relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live 36 with thee. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that 37 thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, 38 nor lend him thy victuals for increase. I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 99 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; 40 thou shalt not 8 compel him to serve as a bondservant: but as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of 41 jubilee and then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall 1 Or, to be quite cut off. 2 Heb. for cutting off. 3 Heb. his hand hath attained. and found sufficiency. 4 Heb. redemption belongeth unto it. 5 Or, one of the Levites re- 6 Heb. his hand faileth. 7 Heb. strengthen. 8 Heb. serve thyself with him with the service, &c. 42 he return.

Thou shalt not rule over him with For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of 44 rigour; but shalt fear thy God. Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye 45 buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, 46 which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. 47 a And if a sojourner or stranger 3 wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to 48 the stock of the stranger's family: after that he is sold he may be redeemed 49 again; one of his brethren may redeem him: either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; 50 or if he be able, he may redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according 51 to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out 52 of the money that he was bought for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years 53 shall he give him again the price of his redemption. And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in 54 thy sight. And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in 55 the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him. For unto me the chil dren of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 26 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a ing image, neither shall ye set up any 67 image of stone in your land, to bow 2 down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. 5 standreverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

And I will give peace in And your threshing shall reach unto the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will 8 rid 7 evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your 22 sins. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your chil dren, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways 23 shall be desolate. And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but 24 will walk contrary unto me; then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will 25 punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be 26 delivered into the hand of the enemy. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. 27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28 then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you 29 seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh 30 of your daughters shall ye eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, 31 and my soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet 32 odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which 33 dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you and your land shall be desolate, and 34 your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy 35 her sabbaths. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest 36 in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a 2 shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from 37 a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no 38 power to stand before your enemies. And ye shall perish among the heathen, 39 and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the ini40 quities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they tres41 passed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; and that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then 42 accept of the punishment of their iniquity: then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul ab44 horred my statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, 45 and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. 46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. 27 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be 3 for the LORD by thy estimation. And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty she4 kels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
