Leviticus:10-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Nadab and Abihu ,
the sons of Aaron ,
took either of them his censer ,
and put fire therein ,
and put incense thereon ,
and offered strange fire before the LORD ,
which he commanded them not .
*
And there went out fire from the LORD ,
and devoured them ,
and they died before the LORD .
*
Then Moses said unto Aaron ,
This is it that the LORD spake ,
saying ,
I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me ,
and before all the people I will be glorified .
And Aaron held his peace .
*
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan ,
the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron ,
and said unto them ,
Come near ,
carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp .
*
So they went near ,
and carried them in their coats out of the camp ;
as Moses had said .
*
And Moses said unto Aaron ,
and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar ,
his sons ,
Uncover not your heads ,
neither rend your clothes ;
lest ye die ,
and lest wrath come upon all the people :
but let your brethren ,
the whole house of Israel ,
bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled .
*
And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
lest ye die :
for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you .
And they did according to the word of Moses .
*
And the LORD spake unto Aaron ,
saying ,
*
Do not drink wine nor strong drink ,
thou ,
nor thy sons with thee ,
when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation ,
lest ye die :
it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations :
*
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy ,
and between unclean and clean ;
*
And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses .
*
And Moses spake unto Aaron ,
and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar ,
his sons that were left ,
Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
and eat it without leaven beside the altar :
for it is most holy :
*
And ye shall eat it in the holy place ,
because it is thy due ,
and thy sons '
due ,
of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire :
for so I am commanded .
*
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place ;
thou ,
and thy sons ,
and thy daughters with thee :
for they be thy due ,
and thy sons '
due ,
which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel .
*
The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat ,
to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD ;
and it shall be thine ,
and thy sons '
with thee ,
by a statute for ever ;
as the LORD hath commanded .
*
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering ,
and ,
behold ,
it was burnt :
and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar ,
the sons of Aaron which were left alive ,
saying ,
*
Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place ,
seeing it is most holy ,
and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation ,
to make atonement for them before the LORD ?
*
Behold ,
the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place :
ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place ,
as I commanded .
*
And Aaron said unto Moses ,
Behold ,
this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD ;
and such things have befallen me :
and if I had eaten the sin offering to day ,
should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD ?
*
And when Moses heard that ,
he was content .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron ,
saying unto them ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth .
*
Whatsoever parteth the hoof ,
and is clovenfooted ,
and cheweth the cud ,
among the beasts ,
that shall ye eat .
*
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud ,
or of them that divide the hoof :
as the camel ,
because he cheweth the cud ,
but divideth not the hoof ;
he is unclean unto you .
*
And the coney ,
because he cheweth the cud ,
but divideth not the hoof ;
he is unclean unto you .
*
And the hare ,
because he cheweth the cud ,
but divideth not the hoof ;
he is unclean unto you .
*
And the swine ,
though he divide the hoof ,
and be clovenfooted ,
yet he cheweth not the cud ;
he is unclean to you .
*
Of their flesh shall ye not eat ,
and their carcase shall ye not touch ;
they are unclean to you .
*
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters :
whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters ,
in the seas ,
and in the rivers ,
them shall ye eat .
*
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas ,
and in the rivers ,
of all that move in the waters ,
and of any living thing which is in the waters ,
they shall be an abomination unto you :
*
They shall be even an abomination unto you ;
ye shall not eat of their flesh ,
but ye shall have their carcases in abomination .
*
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters ,
that shall be an abomination unto you .
*
And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls ;
they shall not be eaten ,
they are an abomination :
the eagle ,
and the ossifrage ,
and the ospray ,
*
And the vulture ,
and the kite after his kind ;
*
Every raven after his kind ;
*
And the owl ,
and the night hawk ,
and the cuckow ,
and the hawk after his kind ,
*
And the little owl ,
and the cormorant ,
and the great owl ,
*
And the swan ,
and the pelican ,
and the gier eagle ,
*
And the stork ,
the heron after her kind ,
and the lapwing ,
and the bat .
*
All fowls that creep ,
going upon all four ,
shall be an abomination unto you .
*
Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four ,
which have legs above their feet ,
to leap withal upon the earth ;
*
Even these of them ye may eat ;
the locust after his kind ,
and the bald locust after his kind ,
and the beetle after his kind ,
and the grasshopper after his kind .
*
But all other flying creeping things ,
which have four feet ,
shall be an abomination unto you .
*
And for these ye shall be unclean :
whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even .
*
And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes ,
and be unclean until the even .
*
The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof ,
and is not clovenfooted ,
nor cheweth the cud ,
are unclean unto you :
every one that toucheth them shall be unclean .
*
And whatsoever goeth upon his paws ,
among all manner of beasts that go on all four ,
those are unclean unto you :
whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even .
*
And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes ,
and be unclean until the even :
they are unclean unto you .
*
These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth ;
the weasel ,
and the mouse ,
and the tortoise after his kind ,
*
And the ferret ,
and the chameleon ,
and the lizard ,
and the snail ,
and the mole .
*
These are unclean to you among all that creep :
whosoever doth touch them ,
when they be dead ,
shall be unclean until the even .
*
And upon whatsoever any of them ,
when they are dead ,
doth fall ,
it shall be unclean ;
whether it be any vessel of wood ,
or raiment ,
or skin ,
or sack ,
whatsoever vessel it be ,
wherein any work is done ,
it must be put into water ,
and it shall be unclean until the even ;
so it shall be cleansed .
*
And every earthen vessel ,
whereinto any of them falleth ,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean ;
and ye shall break it .
*
Of all meat which may be eaten ,
that on which such water cometh shall be unclean :
and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean .
*
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean ;
whether it be oven ,
or ranges for pots ,
they shall be broken down :
for they are unclean ,
and shall be unclean unto you .
*
Nevertheless a fountain or pit ,
wherein there is plenty of water ,
shall be clean :
but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean .
*
And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown ,
it shall be clean .
*
But if any water be put upon the seed ,
and any part of their carcase fall thereon ,
it shall be unclean unto you .
*
And if any beast ,
of which ye may eat ,
die ;
he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even .
*
And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes ,
and be unclean until the even :
he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes ,
and be unclean until the even .
*
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination ;
it shall not be eaten .
*
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly ,
and whatsoever goeth upon all four ,
or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth ,
them ye shall not eat ;
for they are an abomination .
*
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth ,
neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them ,
that ye should be defiled thereby .
*
For I am the LORD your God :
ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves ,
and ye shall be holy ;
for I am holy :
neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth .
*
For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt ,
to be your God :
ye shall therefore be holy ,
for I am holy .
*
This is the law of the beasts ,
and of the fowl ,
and of every living creature that moveth in the waters ,
and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth :
*
To make a difference between the unclean and the clean ,
and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
