vw@Leviticus:16:1 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Jehovah, and died;

vw@Leviticus:16:2 @ and Jehovah said to Moses: Speak to Aaron your brother that he not come at all times into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, that he not die; for I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.

vw@Leviticus:16:3 @ Thus shall Aaron come into the Holy Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.

vw@Leviticus:16:4 @ He shall put the holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his flesh; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be wrapped. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his flesh in water, and put them on.

vw@Leviticus:16:5 @ And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.

vw@Leviticus:16:6 @ And Aaron shall bring near the bull as a sin offering for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

vw@Leviticus:16:7 @ He shall take the two goats and present them before Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting.

vw@Leviticus:16:8 @ And Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Jehovah and one lot for the scapegoat.

vw@Leviticus:16:9 @ And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the lot of Jehovah fell, and offer it as a sin offering.

vw@Leviticus:16:10 @ And the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Jehovah, to make atonement with it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.

vw@Leviticus:16:11 @ And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull as the sin offering for himself.

vw@Leviticus:16:12 @ And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before Jehovah, with his hands full of spiced incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.

vw@Leviticus:16:13 @ And he shall put the incense on the fire before Jehovah, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the Testimony, that he not die.

vw@Leviticus:16:14 @ And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

vw@Leviticus:16:15 @ And he shall kill the goat of the sin offering for the people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.

vw@Leviticus:16:16 @ Thus he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and thus he shall do for the tent of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

vw@Leviticus:16:17 @ And no man shall be in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out. And he shall make atonement for himself, for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.

vw@Leviticus:16:18 @ And he shall go out to the altar that is before Jehovah, and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around.

vw@Leviticus:16:19 @ And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and sanctify it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

vw@Leviticus:16:20 @ And when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat.

vw@Leviticus:16:21 @ And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, and all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is there, ready.

vw@Leviticus:16:22 @ And the goat shall bear upon itself all their iniquities to a separate land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

vw@Leviticus:16:23 @ And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.

vw@Leviticus:16:24 @ And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, put on his garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

vw@Leviticus:16:25 @ The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar with smoke.

vw@Leviticus:16:26 @ And he who released the goat as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

vw@Leviticus:16:27 @ The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp. And they shall burn in the fire their skins, their flesh, and their dung.

vw@Leviticus:16:28 @ And he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

vw@Leviticus:16:29 @ This shall be a perpetual statute for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work, whether a native or a stranger who sojourns among you.

vw@Leviticus:16:30 @ For on that day the priest shall make atonement for you, to cleanse you from all your sins, that you may be clean before Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:16:31 @ It is a sabbath observance of rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a perpetual statute.

vw@Leviticus:16:32 @ And the priest, who is anointed and whose hand is confirmed to serve as priest in his fathers place, shall make atonement, and put on the linen clothes, the holy garments;

vw@Leviticus:16:33 @ and he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

vw@Leviticus:16:34 @ This shall be a perpetual statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, once a year. And he did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Leviticus:17:1 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

vw@Leviticus:17:2 @ Speak to Aaron, to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded, saying:

vw@Leviticus:17:3 @ Any man of the house of Israel who kills an ox or lamb or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,

vw@Leviticus:17:4 @ and does not bring it to the door of the tent of meeting to offer an offering unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people;

vw@Leviticus:17:5 @ so that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, that they may bring them unto Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, to the priest, and offer them as peace offerings unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:17:6 @ And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat with smoke for a soothing aroma unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:17:7 @ They shall no more offer their sacrifices to goats, after whom they have played the harlot. This shall be a perpetual statute for them throughout their generations.

vw@Leviticus:17:8 @ Also you shall say to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

vw@Leviticus:17:9 @ and does not bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it unto Jehovah, that man shall be cut off from among his people.

vw@Leviticus:17:10 @ And any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

vw@Leviticus:17:11 @ For the soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

vw@Leviticus:17:12 @ Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.

vw@Leviticus:17:13 @ Any man of the sons of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who hunts and catches any animal or flying creature that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust;

vw@Leviticus:17:14 @ for it is the soul of all flesh. Its blood is its soul. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the soul of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.

vw@Leviticus:17:15 @ And every soul who eats what died naturally or what was torn by beasts, whether he is a native or a sojourner, he shall both wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean.

vw@Leviticus:17:16 @ But if he does not wash them nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

vw@Leviticus:18:1 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

vw@Leviticus:18:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:18:3 @ According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you have dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.

vw@Leviticus:18:4 @ You shall do My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:18:5 @ You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:18:6 @ None of you shall approach the flesh of anyone who is kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:18:7 @ The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

vw@Leviticus:18:11 @ The nakedness of your fathers wifes daughter, begotten by your father; she is your sister; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

vw@Leviticus:18:12 @ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your fathers sister; she is near of kin to your father.

vw@Leviticus:18:13 @ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mothers sister, for she is near of kin to your mother.

vw@Leviticus:18:16 @ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brothers wife; it is your brothers nakedness.

vw@Leviticus:18:17 @ You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her sons daughter or her daughters daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness.

vw@Leviticus:18:18 @ Nor shall you take a woman and her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, while the other is alive.

vw@Leviticus:18:19 @ Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual uncleanness.

vw@Leviticus:18:20 @ Moreover you shall not give seed to your neighbors wife through intercourse, to defile yourself with her.

vw@Leviticus:18:21 @ And you shall not give any of your seed to pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:18:22 @ You shall not lie with a male as with a female. It is an abomination.

vw@Leviticus:18:23 @ Nor shall you mate with any beast, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before a beast to mate with it. It is perversion.

vw@Leviticus:18:24 @ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have been defiled;

vw@Leviticus:18:25 @ for the land is defiled. Therefore I am visiting its depravity upon it, and the land is vomiting out its inhabitants.

vw@Leviticus:18:26 @ You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor any stranger who sojourns among you

vw@Leviticus:18:27 @ (for all these abominations the men who were in the land before you have done, and the land is defiled),

vw@Leviticus:18:28 @ that the land not also vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

vw@Leviticus:18:29 @ For whoever does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.

vw@Leviticus:18:30 @ Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not do any of these abominable customs which were done before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:19:1 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

vw@Leviticus:19:2 @ Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: You shall be holy, for I Jehovah your God am holy.

vw@Leviticus:19:3 @ Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:19:4 @ Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:19:5 @ And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Jehovah, you shall offer it of your own free will.

vw@Leviticus:19:6 @ It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.

vw@Leviticus:19:7 @ And if it is eaten to be devoured on the third day, it is unclean; it shall not be accepted.

vw@Leviticus:19:8 @ Therefore anyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

vw@Leviticus:19:9 @ When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

vw@Leviticus:19:11 @ You shall not steal, nor deceive, nor lie to one another.

vw@Leviticus:19:12 @ And you shall not swear by My name for falsehood, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:19:14 @ You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:19:15 @ You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

vw@Leviticus:19:16 @ You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the blood of your neighbor: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:19:17 @ You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall reprove to correct your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

vw@Leviticus:19:18 @ You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:19:19 @ You shall keep My statutes. You shall not breed your livestock with other kinds. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment mixed with linen and wool come upon you.

vw@Leviticus:19:20 @ When a man lies with the seed of intercourse with a woman, who is betrothed to a husband, and who has not been ransomed to be redeemed, nor been given her freedom; there shall be punishment, but they shall not be put to death; because she was not free.

vw@Leviticus:19:23 @ When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall consider their fruit as uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten.

vw@Leviticus:19:24 @ But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for praise unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:19:25 @ And in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:19:26 @ You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination nor fortunetelling.

vw@Leviticus:19:27 @ You shall not shave around the corners of your head, nor shall you spoil the edges of your beard.

vw@Leviticus:19:28 @ You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor put any etched marks on you: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:19:29 @ Do not defile your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, that the land not fall into prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.

vw@Leviticus:19:35 @ You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of size, weight, or measure.

vw@Leviticus:19:36 @ You shall have just scales, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt;

vw@Leviticus:19:37 @ therefore you shall keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:20:1 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

vw@Leviticus:20:2 @ Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: Any of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech, shall be executed to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

vw@Leviticus:20:3 @ I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given his seed to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.

vw@Leviticus:20:4 @ And if the people of the land should conceal to hide their eyes from the man, when he gives his seed to Molech, and they do not kill him,

vw@Leviticus:20:5 @ then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, along with all who prostitute themselves with him to commit adultery with Molech.

vw@Leviticus:20:6 @ And the soul who turns to mediums and fortunetellers, to commit adultery with them, I will set My face against that soul and cut him off from his people.

vw@Leviticus:20:7 @ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:20:8 @ And you shall keep My statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifies you.

vw@Leviticus:20:23 @ And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nations which I am casting out before you; for they have done all these things, and therefore I abhor them.

vw@Leviticus:20:24 @ But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Jehovah your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.

vw@Leviticus:20:25 @ You shall therefore distinguish between clean beasts and unclean, between unclean flying creatures and clean, and you shall not make your souls detestable by beast or by flying creature, or by any kind of living thing that moves on the ground, which I have set apart from you as unclean.

vw@Leviticus:20:26 @ And you shall be holy unto Me, for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be Mine.
