offering and in ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the Lord and a grain offering mixed with oil for today the Lord will appear to you and they brought what Moses commanded in front

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 bring the offering of the people and make atonement for them as the Lord has commanded so Aaron drew near to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering which was for himself and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him and he

RAM the fat tail and that which covers the entrails and the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver they put the fat pieces on the breasts and he burned the fat pieces on the altar but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord as Moses commanded then 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 and Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting and when they came out they blessed the people and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people and fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar and when all the people saw it they shouted and fell on their faces you Leviticus 10 noun a Deb and a by Hugh the sons of Aaron each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord which he had not commanded them and fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them they died before the Lord and Moses said to Aaron this is what the Lord has said among those who are near me I will be sanctified and before all the people I will be glorified and Aaron held his peace and Moses called Mishael and el-sayf and the sons of Accio the uncle of Aaron and said to them come near carry your brother's away from the front of the sanctuary and out of the camp so they came near and carried them in their coats out of the camp as Moses had said and Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons do not let the hair of your heads hang loose and do not tear your clothes lest you die and wrath come upon all the congregation but let your brother's the whole house of Israel be wail the burning that the Lord has kindled and do not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting lest you die for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you and they did according to the word of Moses and the Lord spoke to Aaron saying drink no wine or strong drink you or your sons with you when you go into the tent of meeting lest you die it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations you are to distinguish between the holy and the common and between the unclean and the clean and you are to teach the people of Israel all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by Moses Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his surviving sons take the grain offering that is left of the Lord's food offerings and eat it unleavened beside the altar for it is most holy you shall eat it in a holy place because it is your Dew and your sons do from the Lord's food offerings for so I am commanded but the breast that is waived and the thigh that is contributed you shall eat in a clean place you and your sons and your daughters with you for they are given as your do and your sons do from the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the people of Israel the thigh that is contributed and the breasts that is waived they shall bring with the food offerings of the fat pieces to wait for a wave offering before the Lord and it shall be yours and your sons with you as a do forever as the Lord has commanded now moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering and behold it was burned up and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar the surviving sons of Aaron saying why have you not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary since it is a thing most holy and has been given to you that you may bear the iniquity of the congregation to make atonement for them before the Lord behold it's blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary you certainly ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary as I commanded and Aaron said to Moses behold today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord and yet such things as these have happened to me if I had eaten the sin offering today would the Lord have approved and when Moses heard that he approved you Leviticus 11 and the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying to them speak to the people of Israel saying these are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth whatever parts the hoof and his clovenfooted and chews the cud among the animals you may eat nevertheless among those that chew the cud or part the hoof you shall not eat these the camel because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof is unclean to you and the rock badger because it chews the cud but does not part the hook is unclean to you and the hair because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof is unclean to you and the pig because it parts the hook and is clovenfooted but does not chew the cud is unclean to you you shall not eat any of their flesh and you shall not touch their carcasses they are unclean to you these you may eat of all that are in the waters everything in the waters that has fins and scales whether in the seas or in the rivers you may eat but anything in the seas or the

defect in his sight or an itching disease or scabs or crushed testicles no man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to offer the Lord's food offerings since he has a blemish he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God he may eat the bread of his god both of the most-holy and of the Holy things but he shall not go through the veil or approach the altar because he has a blemish that he may not profane my sanctuaries for I am the lord who sanctifies them so Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the people of Israel you Leviticus 22 and the Lord spoke to Moses saying speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel which they dedicate to me so that they do not profane my Holy Name I am the Lord say to them if anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel dedicate to the Lord while he has an unclean Asst that person shall be

or hired servant shall heat of a holy thing but if a priest buys a slave as his property for money the slave may eat of it and anyone born in his house may eat of his food if a priest's daughter marries a layman she shall not eat of the contribution of the things but if a priest daughter is widowed or divorced and has no child and returns to her father's house as in her youth she may eat of her father's food yet no lay person shall eat a bit and if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally he shall add the fifth of its value to it and give the holy thing to the priest they shall not

soul shall not aporia and I will walk among you it will be your God and you shall be my people I am the Lord your God who brought you 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 walk erect but if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments if you spurn my statutes and if your soul too pours my rules so that you will not do all my Commandments but break my covenant then I will do this to you I will visit you with panic with wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache and you shall sow your seed in vain for your enemies shall eat it I will set my face against you and you shall be struck down before your enemies those who hate you shall rule over you and you shall flee when none pursues you and if in spite of this you will not listen to me then I will discipline you again Sevenfold for your sins and I will break the pride of your power and I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze and your strength shall be spent in vain for your land shall not yield its increase and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me I will continue striking you Sevenfold for your sins and I will let loose the wild beasts against you which shall be review of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number so that your roads shall be deserted and if by this discipline you are not turned to me but walk contrary to me then I also will walk contrary to you and I myself will strike you Sevenfold for your sins and I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute vengeance for the Covenant and if you gather within your cities I will send pestilence among you and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy when I break your supply of bread ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight and you shall eat and not be satisfied but if in spite of this you will not listen to me but what contrary to me then I will walk contrary to you in fury and I myself will discipline you Sevenfold for your Sanders's you shall eat the flesh of your sons and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters and I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and cast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols

enemies who settle in it shall be appalled at it and I will scatter you among the nations and I will unsheath the sword after you and your land shall be a desolation in your cities shall be a waste then the land shall enjoy of Sabbath's as long as it lies desolate while you are in your enemy's land then the land shall rest and enjoy its Sabbath's as long as it lies desolate it shall have rest the rest that it did not have on your Sabbath when you were dwelling in it and as for those of you who are left I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies the sound of a driven leaf shall put them to flight and they shall flee as one flees from the sword and they shall fall when none pursues they shall stumble over one another as if to escape a sword though none pursues and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies and you shall perish among the nations and the land of your enemies shall eat you up and those of you who are left shall run away in

their treachery that they committed against me and also in walking contrary to me so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity then I will remember my covenant with Jacob and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham and I will remember the land but the land shall fee abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbath's while it lies desolate without them and they shall make amends for their iniquity because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes yet for all that when they are in the land of their enemies I will not spurn them neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and break my covenant with them for I am the Lord their God but I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations that I might be their God I am the Lord these are the statutes and rules and laws that the Lord made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses on Mount Sinai you Leviticus 27 the Lord spoke to Moses saying speak to the people of Israel and say to them if anyone makes a special vow to the Lord involving the valuation of persons than the valuation of a male from 20 years old up to 60 years old shall be fifty shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary if the person is a female the valuation shall be thirty shekels if the person is from five years old up to twenty years old the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels and for a female ten shekels if the person is from a month old up to five years old the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver and for a female the valuation shall be three shuttles of silver and if the person is sixty years old or over then the valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels and if someone is too poor to pay the valuation then he shall be made to stand before the priest and the priest shall value him the priest shall value him according to what the Bower can afford if the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the Lord all of it that he gives to the Lord is holy he shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it good for bad or bad for good and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another then both it and the substitute shall be holy and if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the Lord then he shall stand the animal before the priest and the priest shall value it as either good or bad as the priest values it so it shall be but if he wishes to redeem it he shall add a fifth to the valuation when a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the Lord the priest shall value it as either good or bad as the priest values and Sola shall stand and if the donor wishes to redeem his house he shall add a fifth to the valuation price and it shall be his if a man dedicates to the Lord part of the land that is his possession then the valuation shall be in proportion to its see a Homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver if he dedicates his field from the year of Jubilee the valuation shall stand but if he dedicates his field after the jewelry then the priest shall calculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of Jubilee and a deduction shall be made from the valuation and if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price and it shall remain his but if he does not wish to redeem the field or if he has sold the field to another man it shall not be redeemed any more but the field when it is released in the Jubilee shall be a holy gift to the Lord like a field that has been devoted the priest shall be in possession of it if he dedicates to the Lord a field that he has bought which is not a part of his possession then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of Jubilee and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the Lord in the year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought to whom the land belongs as a possession every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary 20 garre's shall make a shekel but a firstborn of animals which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord no man may dedicate whether ox or she it is the Lord's and if it is an unclean animal then he shall buy it back at the valuation and add a fifth to it or if it is not redeemed it shall be sold at the valuation but no devoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord of anything that he has whether man or beast or of his inherited field shall be sold or redeemed every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord no one devoted who is to be devoted for Destruction from mankind shall be ransoms he shall surely be put to death every tide of the land whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees is the Lord's it is holy to the Lord if a man wishes to redeem some of his time he shall add a fifth tune and every tie the herds and flocks every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsmen staff shall be holy to the Lord one shall not differentiate between good or bad neither shall he make a substitute for it and if he does substitute for it then both it and the substitute shall be holy it shall not be redeemed these are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai you
