Leviticus 20
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Again, thou shalt say to the
children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech;
he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him
with stones. [3] And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him
off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech,
to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. [4] And if the people
of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his
seed unto Molech, and kill him not: [5] Then I will set my face against
that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a
whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
[6] And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and
after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against
that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. [7] Sanctify
yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
[8] And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
[9] For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put
to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon
him.
[10] And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he
that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death. [11] And the man that lieth with
his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
[12] And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely
be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon
them. [13] If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both
of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them.
[14] And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall
be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among
you. [15] And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death:
and ye shall slay the beast.
[16] And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou
shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them.
[17] And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is
a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he
hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. [18] And
if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her
nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the
fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their
people.
[19] And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor
of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear
their iniquity.
[20] And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
[21] And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he
hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. [22] Ye
shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them:
that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. [23]
And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before
you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
[24] But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give
it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am
the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people. [25] Ye
shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and
between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls
abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that
creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. [26]
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.

Leviticus 21
[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 he 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 holy 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 to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend
his clothes; [11] Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile
himself for his father, or for his mother;
[12] Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of
his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am
the LORD.
[13] And he shall take a wife in her virginity. [14] A widow, or a divorced
woman, or profane, or an 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.
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, 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 brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, [20] Or
crookbackt, 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.

Leviticus 22
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto Aaron and to his
sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of
Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they
hallow unto me: I am the LORD. [3] Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all
your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which
the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon
him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
[4] What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running
issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso
toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed 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 soul 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: I am the
LORD. [9] They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for
it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
[10] There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the
priest, or an 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 freewill 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 peace offerings unto the LORD to
accomplish his vow, or a freewill 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 ye 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.

Leviticus 23
[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, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath
of the LORD in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye
shall proclaim in their seasons.
[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 an 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 an 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 firstfruits 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 an 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 drink
offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an 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
firstfruits 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 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, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
[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 firstfruits for a wave
offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the
LORD for the priest.
[21] 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] 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, an 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 an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an
offering 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 month shall be the feast
of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
[35] On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
work therein.
[36] 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 solemn assembly; and ye shall
do no servile work therein.
[37] 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, every
thing upon his day:
[38] Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all
your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the
LORD.
[39] 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 boughs of goodly
trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows
of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
[41] And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It
shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in
the seventh month.
[42] Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born
shall dwell in booths:
[43] 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] And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
