Leviticus
9, 10
Lev
9:1 It happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel;
Lev
9:2 and he said to Aaron, "Take a calf from the herd for a sin
offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer
them before Yahweh.
Lev
9:3 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Take a male
goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old,
without blemish, for a burnt offering;
Lev
9:4 and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before
Yahweh; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Yahweh appears
to you.' "
Lev
9:5 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting:
and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yahweh.
Lev
9:6 Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh commanded that
you should do: and the glory of Yahweh shall appear to you."
Lev
9:7 Moses said to Aaron, "Draw near to the altar, and offer
your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for
yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people,
and make atonement for them; as Yahweh commanded."
Lev
9:8 So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin
offering, which was for himself.
Lev
9:9 The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his
finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured
out the blood at the base of the altar:
Lev
9:10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of
the sin offering, he burned upon the altar; as Yahweh commanded
Moses.
Lev
9:11 The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
Lev
9:12 He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons delivered the
blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar.
Lev
9:13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and
the head: and he burned them upon the altar.
Lev
9:14 He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the
burnt offering on the altar.
Lev
9:15 He presented the people's offering, and took the goat of the
sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it
for sin, like the first.
Lev
9:16 He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to
the ordinance.
Lev
9:17 He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there,
and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the
morning.
Lev
9:18 He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace
offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons delivered to
him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar,
Lev
9:19 and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that
which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the
liver:
Lev
9:20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on
the altar:
Lev
9:21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave
offering before Yahweh, as Moses commanded.
Lev
9:22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them;
and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt
offering, and the peace offerings.
Lev
9:23 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out,
and blessed the people: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the
people.
Lev
9:24 There came forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed the
burnt offering and the fat upon the altar: and when all the people
saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Lev
10:1 Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and
put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire
before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.
Lev
10:2 And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and
they died before Yahweh.
Lev
10:3 Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what Yahweh spoke of,
saying, 'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and
before all the people I will be glorified.' " Aaron held his
peace.
Lev
10:4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle
of Aaron, and said to them, "Draw near, carry your brothers from
before the sanctuary out of the camp."
Lev
10:5 So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the
camp, as Moses had said.
Lev
10:6 Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons,
"Don't let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your
clothes; that you don't die, and that he not be angry with all the
congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,
bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.
Lev
10:7 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest
you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you." They did
according to the word of Moses.
Lev
10:8 Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,
Lev
10:9 "Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with
you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, that you don't die: it
shall be a statute forever throughout your generations:
Lev
10:10 and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and
the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
Lev
10:11 and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the
statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses."
Lev
10:12 Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons
who were left, "Take the meal offering that remains of the
offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the
altar; for it is most holy;
Lev
10:13 and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your
portion, and your sons' portion, of the offerings of Yahweh made by
fire: for so I am commanded.
Lev
10:14 The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean
place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are
given as your portion, and your sons' portion, out of the sacrifices
of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
Lev
10:15 The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with
the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering
before Yahweh: and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, as a
portion forever; as Yahweh has commanded."
Lev
10:16 Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering,
and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with
Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
Lev
10:17 "Why haven't you eaten the sin offering in the place of
the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he has given it you to
bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them
before Yahweh?
Lev
10:18 Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the
sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I
commanded."
Lev
10:19 Aaron spoke to Moses, "Behold, this day they have offered
their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such
things as these have happened to me: and if I had eaten the sin
offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of Yahweh?"
Lev
10:20 When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
Leviticus
11, 12
Lev
11:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
Lev
11:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the
living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the
earth.
Lev
11:3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the
cud among the animals, that you may eat.
Lev
11:4 " 'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew
the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews
the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.
Lev
11:5 The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted
hoof, he is unclean to you.
Lev
11:6 The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof,
she is unclean to you.
Lev
11:7 The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but
doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
Lev
11:8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall
not touch; they are unclean to you.
Lev
11:9 " 'These you may eat of all that are in the waters:
whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the
rivers, that you may eat.
Lev
11:10 All that don't have fins and scales in the seas, and in the
rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living
creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
Lev
11:11 and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you
shall detest their carcasses.
Lev
11:12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an
abomination to you.
Lev
11:13 " 'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not
be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and
the black vulture,
Lev
11:14 and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
Lev
11:15 any kind of raven,
Lev
11:16 the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of
hawk,
Lev
11:17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
Lev
11:18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
Lev
11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
Lev
11:20 " 'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an
abomination to you.
Lev
11:21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go
on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on
the earth.
Lev
11:22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of
katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
Lev
11:23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an
abomination to you.
Lev
11:24 " 'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the
carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:26 " 'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not
cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who
touches them shall be unclean.
Lev
11:27 Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all
fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall
be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
Lev
11:29 " 'These are they which are unclean to you among the
creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any
kind of great lizard,
Lev
11:30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink,
and the chameleon.
Lev
11:31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep.
Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the
evening.
Lev
11:32 On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be
unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or
sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be
put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it
will be clean.
Lev
11:33 Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that
is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
Lev
11:34 All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall
be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel
shall be unclean.
Lev
11:35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be
unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in
pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
Lev
11:36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a
gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall
be unclean.
Lev
11:37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to
be sown, it is clean.
Lev
11:38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass
falls on it, it is unclean to you.
Lev
11:39 " 'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who
touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash
his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:41 " 'Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an
abomination. It shall not be eaten.
Lev
11:42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or
whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the
earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
Lev
11:43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping
thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with
them, that you should be defiled thereby.
Lev
11:44 For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and
be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any
kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
Lev
11:45 For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Lev
11:46 " 'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of
every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature
that creeps on the earth,
Lev
11:47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and
between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that
may not be eaten.' "
Lev
12:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
12:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a woman
conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven
days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.
Lev
12:3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
circumcised.
Lev
12:4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three
days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the
sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.
Lev
12:5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two
weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of
purification sixty-six days.
Lev
12:6 " 'When the days of her purification are completed, for a
son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of
the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a
young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering:
Lev
12:7 and he shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for
her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. "
'This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
Lev
12:8 If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and
the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for
her, and she shall be clean.' "
Leviticus
13, 14
Lev
13:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Lev
13:2 "When a man shall have a rising in his body's skin, or a
scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the
plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or
to one of his sons, the priests:
Lev
13:3 and the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the
body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the
appearance of the plague is deeper than the body's skin, it is the
plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce
him unclean.
Lev
13:4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its
appearance isn't deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn't turned
white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven
days.
Lev
13:5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold,
if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague hasn't spread
in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
Lev
13:6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and
behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn't spread in the
skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He
shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Lev
13:7 But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself
to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest
again.
Lev
13:8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has
spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It
is leprosy.
Lev
13:9 "When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
brought to the priest;
Lev
13:10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white
rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is
raw flesh in the rising,
Lev
13:11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the
priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he
is unclean.
Lev
13:12 "If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the
leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even
to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest;
Lev
13:13 then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy
has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the
plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
Lev
13:14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
Lev
13:15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him
unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
Lev
13:16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then
he shall come to the priest;
Lev
13:17 and the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague
has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the
plague. He is clean.
Lev
13:18 "When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
Lev
13:19 and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a
bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;
Lev
13:20 and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance
is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the
priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It
has broken out in the boil.
Lev
13:21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white
hairs in it, and it isn't deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the
priest shall isolate him seven days.
Lev
13:22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean. It is a plague.
Lev
13:23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn't spread,
it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him
clean.
Lev
13:24 "Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and
the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or
white,
Lev
13:25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in
the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than
the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the
priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
Lev
13:26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white
hair in the bright spot, and it isn't lower than the skin, but is
faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
Lev
13:27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has
spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It
is the plague of leprosy.
Lev
13:28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn't spread in
the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the
priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.
Lev
13:29 "When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the
beard,
Lev
13:30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its
appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and
thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it
is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
Lev
13:31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its
appearance isn't deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in
it, then the priest shall isolate him the person infected with
itching seven days.
Lev
13:32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and
behold, if the itch hasn't spread, and there is no yellow hair in it,
and the appearance of the itch isn't deeper than the skin,
Lev
13:33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and
the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days.
Lev
13:34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and
behold, if the itch hasn't spread in the skin, and its appearance
isn't deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Lev
13:35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
Lev
13:36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has
spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he
is unclean.
Lev
13:37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has
grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall
pronounce him clean.
Lev
13:38 "When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of
the body, even white bright spots;
Lev
13:39 then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright
spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless
rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
Lev
13:40 "If a man's hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He
is clean.
Lev
13:41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he
is forehead bald. He is clean.
Lev
13:42 But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a
reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or
his bald forehead.
Lev
13:43 Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising
of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald
forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,
Lev
13:44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely
pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
Lev
13:45 "The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes,
and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper
lip, and shall cry, 'Unclean! Unclean!'
Lev
13:46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be
unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp
shall be his dwelling.
Lev
13:47 "The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in,
whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
Lev
13:48 whether it is in warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether
in a skin, or in anything made of skin;
Lev
13:49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the
skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin; it
is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
Lev
13:50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague
seven days.
Lev
13:51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague
has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a
destructive mildew. It is unclean.
Lev
13:52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in
wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it
is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
Lev
13:53 "If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn't
spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin;
Lev
13:54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in
which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more days.
Lev
13:55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed;
and behold, if the plague hasn't changed its color, and the plague
hasn't spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a
mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
Lev
13:56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it
is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the
skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
Lev
13:57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or
in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn
with fire that in which the plague is.
Lev
13:58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing
of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from
them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean."
Lev
13:59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool
or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to
pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Lev
14:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
14:2 "This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his
cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,
Lev
14:3 and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall
examine him, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the
leper,
Lev
14:4 then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be
cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and
hyssop.
Lev
14:5 The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an
earthen vessel over running water.
Lev
14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood,
and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living
bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
Lev
14:7 He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy
seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living
bird go into the open field.
Lev
14:8 "He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and
shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be
clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell
outside his tent seven days.
Lev
14:9 It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his
hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair
he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his
body in water, then he shall be clean.
Lev
14:10 "On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without
blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three
tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with
oil, and one log of oil.
Lev
14:11 The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be
cleansed, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of
Meeting.
Lev
14:12 "The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer
him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a
wave offering before Yahweh.
Lev
14:13 He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the
sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary;
for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering.
It is most holy.
Lev
14:14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass
offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of
him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on
the big toe of his right foot.
Lev
14:15 The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into
the palm of his own left hand.
Lev
14:16 The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in
his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger
seven times before Yahweh.
Lev
14:17 The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in
his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right
foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.
Lev
14:18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put
on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make
atonement for him before Yahweh.
Lev
14:19 "The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make
atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness:
and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;
Lev
14:20 and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal
offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and
he shall be clean.
Lev
14:21 "If he is poor, and can't afford so much, then he shall
take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make
atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled
with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
Lev
14:22 and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able
to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt
offering.
Lev
14:23 "On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing
to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Yahweh.
Lev
14:24 The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and
the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering
before Yahweh.
Lev
14:25 He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest
shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on
the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the
thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Lev
14:26 The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own
left hand;
Lev
14:27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of
the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Yahweh.
Lev
14:28 Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand
on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the
thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the
place of the blood of the trespass offering.
Lev
14:29 The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put
on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him
before Yahweh.
Lev
14:30 He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young
pigeons, such as he is able to afford,
Lev
14:31 even such as he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The
priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before
Yahweh."
Lev
14:32 This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who
is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
Lev
14:33 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Lev
14:34 "When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give
to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in
the land of your possession,
Lev
14:35 then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest,
saying, 'There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.'
Lev
14:36 The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the
priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house
not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect
the house.
Lev
14:37 He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in
the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and
it appears to be deeper than the wall;
Lev
14:38 then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
house, and shut up the house seven days.
Lev
14:39 The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If
the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
Lev
14:40 then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in
which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of
the city:
Lev
14:41 and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all
over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off,
outside of the city into an unclean place.
Lev
14:42 They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of
those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the
house.
Lev
14:43 "If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house,
after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the
house, and after it was plastered;
Lev
14:44 then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the
plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the
house. It is unclean.
Lev
14:45 He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and
all the house's mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an
unclean place.
Lev
14:46 "Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up
shall be unclean until the evening.
Lev
14:47 He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he
who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
Lev
14:48 "If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold,
the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered,
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague
is healed.
Lev
14:49 To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood,
and scarlet, and hyssop.
Lev
14:50 He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over
running water.
Lev
14:51 He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet,
and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and
in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
Lev
14:52 He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and
with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood,
with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
Lev
14:53 but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the
open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be
clean."
Lev
14:54 This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
Lev
14:55 and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,
Lev
14:56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
Lev
14:57 to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is
the law of leprosy.
Mar.
27, 28
Mark 16
Mar
16:1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint
him.
Mar
16:2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb
when the sun had risen.
Mar
16:3 They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the
stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
Mar
16:4 for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was
rolled back.
Mar
16:5 Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.
Mar
16:6 He said to them, "Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus, the
Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here.
Behold, the place where they laid him!
Mar
16:7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into
Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.' "
Mar
16:8 They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and
astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they
were afraid.
Mar
16:9 Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven
demons.
Mar
16:10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned
and wept.
Mar
16:11 When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her,
they disbelieved.
Mar
16:12 After these things he was revealed in another form to two of
them, as they walked, on their way into the country.
Mar
16:13 They went away and told it to the rest. They didn't believe
them, either.
Mar
16:14 Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat
at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of
heart, because they didn't believe those who had seen him after he
had risen.
Mar
16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the
Good News to the whole creation.
Mar
16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who
disbelieves will be condemned.
Mar
16:17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they
will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
Mar
16:18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick,
and they will recover."
Mar
16:19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was
received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar
16:20 They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
Luke 1
Luk 1:1
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning
those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Luk 1:2
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants
of the word delivered them to us,
Luk 1:3
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things
accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent
Theophilus;
Luk 1:4
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you
were instructed.
Luk 1:5
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest
named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of
the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Luk 1:6
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Luk 1:7
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both
were well advanced in years.
Luk 1:8
Now it happened, while he executed the priest's office before God in
the order of his division,
Luk 1:9
according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter
into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Luk
1:10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the
hour of incense.
Luk
1:11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right
side of the altar of incense.
Luk
1:12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Luk
1:13 But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Zacharias,
because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will
bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Luk
1:14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his
birth.
Luk
1:15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will
drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy
Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Luk
1:16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their
God.
Luk
1:17 He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to
turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient
to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the
Lord."
Luk
1:18 Zacharias said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this?
For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
Luk
1:19 The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the
presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this
good news.
Luk
1:20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day
that these things will happen, because you didn't believe my words,
which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
Luk
1:21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that
he delayed in the temple.
Luk
1:22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued
making signs to them, and remained mute.
Luk
1:23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he
departed to his house.
Luk
1:24 After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid
herself five months, saying,
Luk
1:25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he
looked at me, to take away my reproach among men."
Luk
1:26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to
a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luk
1:27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
Luk
1:28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, you
highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among
women!"
Luk
1:29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying,
and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
Luk
1:30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mary, for you
have found favor with God.
Luk
1:31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son,
and will call his name 'Jesus.'
Luk
1:32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,
Luk
1:33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will
be no end to his Kingdom."
Luk
1:34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a
virgin?"
Luk
1:35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also
the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
Luk
1:36 Behold, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in
her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called
barren.
Luk
1:37 For everything spoken by God is possible."
Luk
1:38 Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me
according to your word." The angel departed from her.
Luk
1:39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with
haste, into a city of Judah,
Luk
1:40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Luk
1:41 It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the
baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Spirit.
Luk
1:42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are
you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Luk
1:43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to
me?
Luk
1:44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears,
the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
Luk
1:45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of
the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!"
Luk
1:46 Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
Luk
1:47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
Luk
1:48 for he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For
behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Luk
1:49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his
name.
Luk
1:50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear
him.
Luk
1:51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud
in the imagination of their hearts.
Luk
1:52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the
lowly.
Luk
1:53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich
away empty.
Luk
1:54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might
remember mercy,
Luk
1:55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever."
Luk
1:56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to
her house.
Luk
1:57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled,
and she brought forth a son.
Luk
1:58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had
magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
Luk
1:59 It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the
child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of
the father.
Luk
1:60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
Luk
1:61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives
who is called by this name."
Luk
1:62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Luk
1:63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is
John." They all marveled.
Luk
1:64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he
spoke, blessing God.
Luk
1:65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings
were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Luk
1:66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What
then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
Luk
1:67 His father, Zacharias, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and
prophesied, saying,
Luk
1:68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has
visited and worked redemption for his people;
Luk
1:69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of
his servant David
Luk
1:70 (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been
from of old),
Luk
1:71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate
us;
Luk
1:72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy
covenant,
Luk
1:73 the oath which he spoke to Abraham, our father,
Luk
1:74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our
enemies, should serve him without fear,
Luk
1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our
life.
Luk
1:76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for
you will go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways,
Luk
1:77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission
of their sins,
Luk
1:78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from
on high will visit us,
Luk
1:79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death;
to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Luk
1:80 The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was
in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
