Lev. 8:1‑10:20• 1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened [bread];
3and gather thou all the assembly together at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and the assembly was gathered at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
5And Moses said to the assembly, This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded to be done.
6And Moses brought Aaron near, and his sons, and bathed them with water.
7And he put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him, and girded him with the curiously wrought girdle of the ephod, and fastened the ephod on him.
8And he placed the breast-plate on him; and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.
9And he set the miter on his head, and on the miter in front did he set the golden plate, the holy diadem; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
10And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
11And he sprinkled thereof on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.
12And he poured of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13And Moses brought near Aaron's sons, and clothed them with the coats, and girded them with the girdles, and bound the bonnets on them; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
14And he brought near the bullock of the sin-offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bullock for the sin-offering;
15and one slaughtered [it]; and Moses took the blood and put [it] on the horns of the altar, round about with his finger and cleansed the altar from sin, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar and sanctified it, making atonement for it.
16And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned [them] on the altar.
17And the bullock and its skin and its flesh and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp as Jehovah commanded Moses.
18And he brought near the ram of the burnt-offering; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
19and one slaughtered [it]; and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar round about.
20And he cut up the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat;
21and the inwards and the legs he washed with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar: it [was] a burnt-offering for a sweet odour, a fire-offering to Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
22And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram;
23and one slaughtered [it]. And Moses took of its blood, and put [it] on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.
24And he brought near Aaron's sons, and he put of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar round about.
25And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that [was] on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right shoulder .
26And out of the basket of unleavened bread that [was] before Jehovah he took one unleavened cake and one cake of oiled bread and one wafer, and put them on the fat and upon the right shoulder;
27and he gave them all into Aaron's hands and into his sons' hands and waved them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.
28And Moses took them from off their hands, and burned [them] on the altar over the burnt-offering: they [were] a consecration of sweet odour; it [is] a fire-offering to Jehovah.
29And Moses took the breast, and waved it as a wave-offering before Jehovah: of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
30And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood that [was] upon the altar and sprinkled [it] on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
31And Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh [at] the entrance of the tent of meeting; and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration-offering, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
33And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting seven days, until the day when the days of your consecration are at an end: for seven days shall ye be consecrated.
34As he hath done this day, Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you.
35And ye shall abide at the entrance of the tent of meeting day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that ye die not; for so I am commanded.
36And Aaron and his sons did all things that Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses.
1And it came to pass on the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel,
2and said to Aaron, Take thee a bull calf for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and present [them] before Jehovah;
3and to the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Take a buck of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf and a lamb, yearlings, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;
4and a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal-offering mingled with oil; for today Jehovah appeareth to you.
5And they brought what Moses commanded before the tent of meeting; and all the assembly drew near and stood before Jehovah.
6And Moses said, This [is] the thing which Jehovah commanded that ye should do; and the glory of Jehovah shall approach you.
7And Moses said to Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and offer the offerings of the people, and make atonement for them, as Jehovah commanded.
8And Aaron drew near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin-offering which [was] for himself;
9And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put [it] on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar.
10And the fat and the kidneys, and the net above the liver, of the sin-offering, he burnt on the altar, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
11And the flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
12And he slaughtered the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood which he sprinkled on the altar round about.
13And they delivered to him the burnt-offering piece by piece, and the head; and he burnt [them] on the altar.
14And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt [them] upon the burnt-offering on the altar.
15And he presented the people's offering, and took the goat of the sin-offering which [was] for the people, and slaughtered it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.
17And he presented the meal-offering, and took a handful of it, and burnt [it] on the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning.
18And he slaughtered the bullock and the ram of the sacrifice of peace-offerings which [was] for the people. And Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the altar round about;
19and the fat pieces of the bullock and of the ram, the fat tail and what covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys and the net of the liver.
20And they put the fat pieces on the breast pieces, and he burnt the fat pieces on the altar.
21And the breast pieces and the right shoulder Aaron waved, a wave-offering before Jehovah, as Moses commanded.
22And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.
23And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people; and Jehovah's glory appeared to all the people.
24And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and consumed on the altar the burnt-offering and the fat; and all the people saw it, and they shouted, and fell on their faces.
1And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.
2And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.
3And Moses said to Aaron, This [is] what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in those that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.
4And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5And they drew near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Uncover not your heads nor rend your clothes, lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.
7And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah [is] upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,
9Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, lest ye die: an everlasting statute throughout your generations,
10and that ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between the unclean and the clean,
11and that ye may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
12And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that is left of Jehovah's fire-offerings, and eat it with unleavened bread beside the altar; for it [is] most holy.
13And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it [is] thy due and thy sons' due, of Jehovah's fire-offerings; for so I am commanded.
14And the breast of the wave-offering and the shoulder of the heave-offering ye shall eat in a clean place, thou and thy sons and thy daughters with thee; for thy due and thy sons' due [are they] given of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the children of Israel.
15The shoulder of the heave-offering and the breast of the wave-offering shall they bring with the fire-offerings of the pieces of fat to wave as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and they shall be thine and thy sons' with thee for an everlasting statute, as Jehovah commanded.
16And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt up; then he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons [that were] left, saying,
17Why have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary? For it [is] most holy; and he hath given it to you, that ye might bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make atonement for them before Jehovah.
18Behold, its blood was not brought in within the sanctuary: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.
19And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, today have they presented their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and such things as these have befallen me! And had I today eaten the sin-offering, would it have been good in the sight of Jehovah?
20And Moses heard, and it was good in his sight. (Lev. 8:1‑10:20)
Lev. 21:1‑22:33• 1And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none defile himself for a dead one (soul) among his peoples,
2except for his kin that is near to him—for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
3and for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, who hath had no husband, for her he may defile himself.
4He shall not make himself unclean, [being] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.
5They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the fire-offerings of Jehovah, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.
7They shall not take to wife a harlot or one dishonoured; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
8And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God he offereth; he shall be holy to thee; for I, Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.
9And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father; she shall be burnt with fire.
10And the priest that is greater than his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head , nor rend his garments.
11Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father nor for his mother.
12Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God [is] upon him: I [am] Jehovah.
13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14A widow or a divorced woman or one dishonoured, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.
15And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I Jehovah sanctify him.
16And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a defect, he shall not approach to present the bread of his God.
18For whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other;
19or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed;
20or humpbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a spot in his eye, or is scurvy or scabbed, or hath his testicles broken.
21No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's fire-offerings: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.
22He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy and of the holy.
23Only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar, for he hath a defect; that he profane not my holy things ; for I Jehovah sanctify them.
24And Moses told [it] to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2Speak to 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] what they hallow to me: I [am] Jehovah.
3Say to them, Whosoever of all your seed among your generations that goeth unto the holy things which the children of Israel hallow to Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] Jehovah.
4Whatsoever man of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper, or hath a running of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean; and whosoever toucheth anything unclean of the dead, or a man whose seed passeth from him;
5or whosoever toucheth any reptile whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may take uncleanness whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6the person that hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
7And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it [is] his food.
8That which dieth of itself, or is torn, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I [am] Jehovah.
9They shall therefore keep mine ordinance lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I Jehovah sanctify them.
10No stranger shall eat the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant shall not eat the holy thing.
11But if the priest buy a person with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house; they shall eat of his meat.
12If the priest's daughter also belong to a strange man, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat; but no stranger shall eat of it.
14And if a man eat the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth thereof to it, and shall offer [it] to the priest with the holy thing.
15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Jehovah;
16or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass when they eat their holy things; for I Jehovah sanctify them.
17And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, If there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that presenteth his gift (corban) for any of his voluntary offerings which they present to Jehovah as a burnt offering,
19it shall be accepted for you without blemish, a male of the oxen, of the sheep, and of the goats.
20Whatsoever hath a blemish shall ye not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21And when a man offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah as a vow or an offering of the herds or of the flocks, it shall be without blemish to be accepted: no defect shall be therein.
22Blind or broken or maimed or ulcerous or scurvy or scabbed, ye shall not offer these to Jehovah; and a fire offering shall ye not make of these on the altar to Jehovah.
23A bullock and a sheep that hath any limb superfluous or lacking that mayest thou offer as a voluntary offering; but as a vow it shall not be accepted.
24That which is bruised or crushed or broken or cut shall ye not present to Jehovah; neither in your land shall ye do (so).
25And from a stranger's hand shall ye not offer the bread of your God from any of these; because their corruption [is] in them; a blemish [is] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
26And Jehovah spake to Moses, saying,
27An ox, or a sheep, or a goat, when it is brought forth, shall be seven days under its dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted as a fire offering to Jehovah.
28A cow or sheep—it and its young—shall ye not slaughter in one day.
29And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice for your acceptance.
30On that day shall it be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until morning: I [am] Jehovah.
31And ye shall observe my commandments and do them: I [am] Jehovah.
32And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] Jehovah that hallow you,
33that brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I [am] Jehovah. (Lev. 21:1‑22:33)
Num. 16:16‑50• 16And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.
17And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.
18And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.
19And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.
20And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.
22And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?
23And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.
27And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:
29if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;
30but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.
31And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.
32And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
37speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
38The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
39And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
40to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before Jehovah; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as Jehovah said to him by the hand of Moses.
41But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.
42And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.
43And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
44And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
45Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
46And Moses said unto Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah; the plague is begun.
47And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.
48And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stayed.
49Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.
50And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed. (Num. 16:16‑50)
