<ol>
<li><span>And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the
tabernacle of the testimony, saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to
them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of
the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and
sheep,</span></li>
<li><span>If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall
offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make
the Lord favourable to him:</span></li>
<li><span>And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim,
and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.</span></li>
<li><span>And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord, and the
priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it
round about the altar, which is before the door of the
tabernacle.</span></li>
<li><span>And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the
joints into pieces,</span></li>
<li><span>And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in
order a pile of wood:</span></li>
<li><span>And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order
thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the
liver,</span></li>
<li><span>The entrails and feet being washed with water: and the
priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet
savour to the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep
or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:</span></li>
<li><span>And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that
looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall
pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:</span></li>
<li><span>And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that
cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which
the fire is to be put:</span></li>
<li><span>But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water.
And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar
for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of
birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,</span></li>
<li><span>The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back
the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the
blood run down upon the brim of the altar.</span></li>
<li><span>But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall
cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the
ashes are wont to be poured out,</span></li>
<li><span>And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not
cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar,
putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most
sweet savour to the Lord.</span></li>

<ol>
<li><span>When any one shall offer an oblation of sacrifice to the
Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil
upon it, and put frankincense,</span></li>
<li><span>And shall bring it to the sons of Aaron the priests: and
one of them shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and all the
frankincense, and shall put it a memorial upon the altar for a most
sweet savour to the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And the remnant of the sacrifice shall be Aaron's, and
his sons', holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>But when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in the oven of
flour, to wit, loaves without leaven, tempered with oil, and
unleavened wafers, anointed with oil:</span></li>
<li><span>If thy oblation be from the fryingpan, of flour tempered
with oil, and without leaven,</span></li>
<li><span>Thou shalt divide it into little pieces, and shalt pour
oil upon it.</span></li>
<li><span>And if the sacrifice be from the gridiron, in like manner
the flour shall be tempered with oil:</span></li>
<li><span>And when thou offerest it to the Lord, thou shalt deliver
it to the hands of the priest.</span></li>
<li><span>And when he hath offered it, he shall take a memorial out
of the sacrifice, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to
the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And whatsoever is left, shall be Aaron's, and his sons',
holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>Every oblation that is offered to the Lord shall be made
without leaven, neither shall any leaven or honey be burnt in the
sacrifice to the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>You shall offer only the firstfruits of them and gifts:
but they shall not be put upon the altar, for a savour of
sweetness,</span></li>

me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them:</span></li>
<li><span>And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the leaves,
shall be consumed with fire.</span></li>
<li><span>And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle
for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration
shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is
finished:</span></li>
<li><span>As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of
the sacrifice might be accomplished.</span></li>
<li><span>Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle
observing the watches of the Lord, lest you die: for so it hath
been commanded me.</span></li>
<li><span>And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord
spoke by the hand of Moses.</span></li>

<ol>
<li><span>And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and
his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to
Aaron:</span></li>
<li><span>Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a
holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the
Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a
he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and
without blemish for a holocaust,</span></li>
<li><span>Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings: and
immolate them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every
one of them flour tempered with oil; for to day the Lord will
appear to you.</span></li>
<li><span>They brought therefore all things that Moses had
commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the
multitude stood,</span></li>
<li><span>Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath
commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you.</span></li>
<li><span>And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer
sacrifice for thy sin: offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself
and for the people: and when thou hast slain the people's victim,
pray for them, as the Lord hath commanded.</span></li>
<li><span>And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated
the calf for his sin:</span></li>
<li><span>And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped
his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured
the rest at the foot thereof.</span></li>
<li><span>And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the
liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had
commanded Moses:</span></li>
<li><span>But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire
without the camp.</span></li>
<li><span>He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons
brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the
altar.</span></li>
<li><span>And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him
the head and all the members, all which he burnt with fire upon the
altar,</span></li>
<li><span>Having first washed the entrails and the feet with
water.</span></li>
<li><span>Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he
goat: and expiating the altar,</span></li>
<li><span>He offered the holocaust:</span></li>
<li><span>Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered
withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of
the morning holocaust.</span></li>
<li><span>He immolated also the bullock and the ram, the peace
offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which
he poured upon the altar round about.</span></li>
<li><span>The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and
the two little kidneys, with their fat, and the caul of the
liver,</span></li>
<li><span>They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt
upon the altar,</span></li>
<li><span>Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders,
elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.</span></li>
<li><span>And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed
them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace
offerings being finished, he came down.</span></li>
<li><span>And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the
testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And
the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude:</span></li>
<li><span>And behold a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured
the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the
multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their
faces.</span></li>

<div class="chapter">
<div class="chaptertitle"><a name="10">Leviticus 10</a></div>

<li><span>And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their
censers, put fire therein, and incense on it, offering before the
Lord strange fire: which was not commanded them.</span></li>
<li><span>And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them, and
they died before the Lord.</span></li>
<li><span>And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath
spoken: I will be sanctified in them that approach to me, and I
will be glorified in the sight of all the people. And when Aaron
heard this, he held his peace.</span></li>
<li><span>And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel,
the uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away your
brethren from before the sanctuary, and carry them without the
camp.</span></li>
<li><span>And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested
with linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been commanded
them.</span></li>
<li><span>And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his
sons: Uncover not your heads, and rend not your garments, lest
perhaps you die, and indignation come upon all the congregation.
Let your brethren, and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning
which the Lord has kindled:</span></li>
<li><span>But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle,
otherwise you shall perish, for the oil of the holy unction is on
you. And they did all things according to the precept of
Moses.</span></li>
<li><span>The Lord also said to Aaron:</span></li>
<li><span>You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make
drunk, thou nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the
testimony, lest you die: because it is an everlasting precept
through your generations :</span></li>
<li><span>And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy
and unholy, between unclean and clean:</span></li>
<li><span>And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances
which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of
Moses.</span></li>
<li><span>And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his
sons that were left: Take the sacrifice that is remaining of the
oblation of the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar,
because it is holy of holies.</span></li>
<li><span>And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given to
thee and thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as it hath been
commanded me.</span></li>
<li><span>The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that is
separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou and thy sons,
and thy daughters with thee. For they are set aside for thee and
thy children, of the victims of peace offerings of the children of
Israel:</span></li>
<li><span>Because they have elevated before the Lord the shoulder
and the breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar, and they
belong to thee and to thy sons by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath
commanded.</span></li>
<li><span>While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for
the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt:
and being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that
were left, he said:</span></li>
<li><span>Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice for
sin, which is most holy, and given to you, that you may bear the
iniquity of the people, and may pray for them in the sight of the
Lord,</span></li>
<li><span>Especially whereas none of the blood thereof hath been
carried within the holy places, and you ought to have eaten it in
the sanctuary, as was commanded me?</span></li>
<li><span>Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim for
sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest
has happened: how could I eat it, or please the Lord in the
ceremonies, having a sorrowful heart?</span></li>
<li><span>Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied.</span></li>

<li><span>And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,
saying:</span></li>
<li><span>Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals
which you are to eat of all the living things of the
earth.</span></li>
<li><span>Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud
among the beasts, you shall eat.</span></li>
<li><span>But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof,
but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not
eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.</span></li>
<li><span>The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not
the hoof, is unclean.</span></li>
<li><span>The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof.</span></li>
<li><span>And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof,
cheweth not the cud.</span></li>
<li><span>The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch
their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.</span></li>
<li><span>These are the things that breed in the waters, and which
it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the
sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.</span></li>
<li><span>But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things
that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to
you,</span></li>
<li><span>And detestable : their flesh you shall not eat, and their
carcasses you shall avoid.</span></li>
<li><span>All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall
be unclean.</span></li>
<li><span>Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which
are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the
osprey,</span></li>

shall be abominable to you.</span></li>
<li><span>But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs
behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,</span></li>
<li><span>That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the
attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to
their kind.</span></li>
<li><span>But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall
be an abomination to you:</span></li>
<li><span>And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be
defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:</span></li>
<li><span>And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things
when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean
until the sun set.</span></li>
<li><span>Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor
cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall

all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses
shall be defiled until evening.</span></li>
<li><span>And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his
clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these
things are unclean to you.</span></li>
<li><span>These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all
that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the
crocodile, every one according to their kind:</span></li>
<li><span>The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the
lizard, and the mole:</span></li>
<li><span>All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses
shall be unclean until the evening.</span></li>

fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a
garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is
done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the
evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.</span></li>
<li><span>But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall
fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.</span></li>
<li><span>Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be
poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk
out of any such vessel, shall be unclean.</span></li>

it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith
defiled.</span></li>
<li><span>If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat,
he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the
evening:</span></li>
<li><span>And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall
wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the
evening.</span></li>
<li><span>All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable,
neither shall it be taken for meat.</span></li>
<li><span>Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath
many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it
is abominable.</span></li>
<li><span>Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest

Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the

Egypt, that I might be your God.</span></li>
<li><span>You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of
beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the
