It is holy of holies. 26 The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court of the tabernacle. 27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a holy place. 23 And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken: but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water. 29 Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is holy of holies. 30 For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire. CHAP. VII. Of sacrifices for trespasses and thanks-offerings. No fat nor blood is to be eaten. HIS also is the law of the sacrifice for a tres pass† It is most holy: 2 And where the holocaust is immolated, the victim also for a trespass shall be slain: the blood thereof shall be poured round about the altar. 3 They shall offer thereof the rump and the fat that covereth the entrails: 4 The two little kidneys, and the fat which is by the flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys. 12 And the fire on the altar shall always burn: and the priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning, and laying on the ho- 5 And the priest shall burn them upon the allocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace-tar: it is the burnt-sacrifice of the Lord for a offerings. 13 This is the perpetual fire* which shall never go out on the altar. 14 This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which the children of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and before the altar. 15 The priest shall take a handful of the flour that is tempered with oil, and all the frankincense that is put upon the flour: and he shall burn it on the altar for a memorial of most sweet odour to the Lord: 16 And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court of the tabernacle. 17 And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is offered for the burnt-sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for sin and for trespass. 18 The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations, concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified. 19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 20 This is the oblation of Aaron, and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord, in the day of their anointing: They shall offer the tenth part of an ephi of flour for a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening: 21 It shall be tempered with oil, and shall be fried in a frying-pan. trespass. 6 Every male of the priestly race, shall eat this flesh in a holy place, because it is most holy. 7 As the sacrifice for sin is offered, so is also that for a trespass: the same shall be the law of both these sacrifices: it shall belong to the priest that offereth it. 8 The priest that offereth the victim of holocaust, shall have the skin thereof. 9 And every sacrifice of flour that is baked in the oven, and whatsoever is dressed on the gridiron, or in the frying-pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it: 10 Whether they be tempered with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have one as much as another. 11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peaceofferings that is offered to the Lord. 12 If the oblation be for thanksgiving, they shall offer loaves without leaven tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour fried, and cakes tempered and mingled with oil: 13 Moreover loaves of leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanks, which is offered for peaceofferings: 14 Of which one shall be offered to the Lord for first-fruits, and shall be the priest's that shall pour out the blood of the victim. 15 And the flesh of it shall be eaten the same day, neither shall any of it remain until the morning. 22 And the priest that rightfully succeedeth 16 If any man by vow, or of his own accord his father, shall offer it hot, for a most sweet offer a sacrifice, it shall in like manner be eaten odour to the Lord: and it shall be wholly burnt the same day: and if any of it remain until the on the altar. morrow, it is lawful to eat it: 23 For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed with fire; neither shall any man eat thereof. 24 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: * The perpetual fire. This fire came from heaven, (infra chap. ix. 24.) and was always kept burning on the altar, as a figure of the heavenly fire of divine love, which ought to be always burning in the heart of a christian. 17 But whatsoever shall be found on the third day shall be consumed with fire. 18 If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace-offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect, neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever soul shall defile + Trespass.

Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof. 16 But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, 30 He shall hold in his hands the fat of the vic-with their fat, he burnt upon the altar: tim, and the breast: and when he hath offered 17 And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall de-and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the liver them to the priest, Lord had commanded. 31 Who shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's, and his sons'. 32 The right shoulder also of the victims of peace-offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits. 33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat, he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion. 18 He offered also a ram for a holocaust; and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head, 19 He immolated it; and poured the blood thereof round about upon the altar. 20 And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat, he burnt in the fire, 34 For the breast that is elevated and the 21 Having first washed the entrails, and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the feet: and the whole ram together he burnt upon children of Israel, from off their victims of peace-the altar; because it was a holocaust of most offerings, and have given them to Aaron the sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commandpriest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from ed him. all the people of Israel. 35 This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood, 36 And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by perpetual observance in their generations. a 37 This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace-offerings: Which the Lord appointed to Moses in mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel, that they should offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai. CHAP. VIII. Moses consecrateth Aaron and his sons. 22 He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof: 23 And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron's right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot. 24 He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about: 25 But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.

And after the fat was burnt upon the altar, 21 Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded. 31 And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them: 32 And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and 22 And stretching forth his hands to the people, the loaves, shall be consumed with fire. he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and 33 And you shall not go out of the door of the the holocausts, and the peace-offerings, being tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein finished, he came down. the time of your consecration shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished: 34 As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished. 35 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. 36 And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses. CHAP. IX. Aaron offereth sacrifice for himself and the people. Fire cometh from the Lord upon the altar. ND when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel; and said to Aaron: 2 Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. 3 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, 23 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: 24 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. CHAP. X. Nadab and Abiu for offering strange fire, are burnt by fire. Priests are forbidden to drink wine, when they enter into the tabernacle. The law of eating the holy things. 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. 2 And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them: and they died before the Lord. 3 And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hatn 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. 4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings: and immolate them before the Lord, offering for 4 And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the the sacrifice of every one of them flour tempered sons of Oziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said to with oil; for to-day the Lord will appear to you. them: Go, and take away your brethren from 5 They brought therefore all things that Moses before the sanctuary, and carry them without the had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood, 6 Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: do it, and his glory will appear to you. 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. 8 And forthwith Aaron approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin: 9 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. 10 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: 11 But the flesh and skin thereof he burnt with fire without the camp. 12 He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar. 13 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, 14 Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water. 15 Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he-goat: and expiating the altar, 16 He offered the holocaust: camp. 5 And they went forthwith, and took them as they lay, vested with linen tunics, and cast them forth, as had been commanded them. 6 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:" 7 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. 8 The Lord also said to Aaron: 9 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: 10 And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy and unholy, between unclean and clean: 11 And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses. 12 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. 13 And you shall eat it in a holy place: which 17 Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which is given to thee and thy sons of the oblations of are offered withal, and burning them upon the the Lord, as it hath been commanded me. altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holo- 14 The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that is separated, you shall eat in a most clean caust. 18 He immolated also the bullock and the ram, place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with the peace-offerings of the people: and his sons thee.

AND the Lord spoke toen of Israel, and 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: If a woman having received seed shall bear a man-child, she shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of the separation of her flowers. 3 And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised: 4 But she shall remain three and thirty days in the blood of her purification. She shall touch no holy thing, neither shall she enter into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled. 5 But if she shall bear a maid-child, she shall be unclean two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly courses: and she shall remain in the blood of her purification sixty-six days. shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or any one of his sons. 3 And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white, and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy; and upon his judgment he shall be separated. 4 But if there be a shining whiteness in the skin, and not lower than the other flesh, and the hair be of the former colour, the priest shall shut him up seven days. 5 And the seventh day he shall look on him: and if the leprosy be grown no farther, and hath not spread itself in the skin, he shall shut him up again other seven days. 6 And on the seventh day he shall look on him: if the leprosy be somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and shall be clean. 7 But if the leprosy grow again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him, 8 And shall be condemned of uncleanness. 9 If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to the priest, 10 And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear: 11 It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean, and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean. 12 But if the leprosy spring out running about in the skin, and cover all the skin from the head to the feet, whatsoever falleth under the sight of the eyes, 13 The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean. 14 But when the live flesh shall appear in him, 15 Then by the judgment of the priest he shalĺ be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean: for live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean. 16 And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man, 17 The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean. 6 And when the days of her purification are 18 When also there has been an ulcer in the expired, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall flesh and the skin, and it has been healed, bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimo- 19 And in the place of the ulcer, there appearny, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and aeth a white scar, or somewhat red, the man shall young pigeon or a turtle for sin; and shall deliver them to the priest: 7 Who shall offer them before the Lord, and shall pray for her: and so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth a man-child or a maid-child. 8 And if her hand find not sufficiency, and she is not able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, one for a holocaust, and another for sin: and the priest shall pray for her; and so she shall be cleansed. be brought to the priest: 20 And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hair turned white, he shall declare him unclean: for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer. 21 But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it, he shall shut him up seven days. 22 And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy: 23 But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean. 24 The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is healed hath a white or a red scar, 25 The priest shall view it: and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar. 26 But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure, he shall shut him up seven days: 27 And on the seventh day he shall view him: if the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean. |
