8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread,
8:5 Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded us to do.”
8:6 Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near, and he washed them with water.
8:7 HeThen he put the tunic on himAaron and girdedwrapped himhis waist with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he girdedwrapped himhis waist with the artistic band of the ephod, with which he tiedfitted it to him.
8:10 Moses then took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and alleverything that was in it, and consecrated them.
8:11 He also sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.
8:13 Next Moses had Aaron’s sons come near, and he clothed them with tunics, and girdedwrapped themtheir waists with sashes, and bound caps on them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8:17 But the bull and its hide, and its flesh, and its refuse he burned in the fire outside the camp, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8:19 And Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood around on the altar.
8:23 And Moses slaughtered it and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
8:25 He then took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh.
8:26 FromAnd from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer, and placed them on the portions of fat and on the right thigh.
8:27 He then put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, and presented them as a wave offering before the Lord.
8:29 Moses also took the breast and presented it foras a wave offering before the Lord; it was Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8:30 So Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
8:32 TheAnd the remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire.
8:33 YouAnd you shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled; for he will ordain you through seven days.
8:34 The Lord has commanded us to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf.
8:35 At the doorway of the tent of meeting, moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and keepfulfill theyour chargeduty ofto the Lord, so that you will not die,; for so I have been commanded.”
8:36 Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which the Lord had commanded through Moses.
9:2 and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a calf, a bull, foras a sin offering and a ram foras a burnt offering, both without defect, and offer them before the Lord.
9:3 Then you shall speak to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a male goat foras a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without defect, foras a burnt offering,
9:6 And Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.”
9:7 Moses then said to Aaron, “Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, so that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then make the offering for the people, so that you may make atonement for them, just as the Lord has commanded.”
9:9 Aaron’s sons then presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood and put some on the horns of the altar, and poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
9:10 The fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin offering, he then offered up in smoke on the altar, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
9:11 The flesh and the skinhide, however, he burned with fire outside the camp.
9:12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons handedbrought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar.
9:13 They handedbrought the burnt offering to him in pieces, with the head, and he offered them up in smoke on the altar.
9:18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons handedbrought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar.
9:19 As for the portions of fat from the ox and from the ram, the fat tail, and the fat covering, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver,
9:22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he stepped down after making the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed the people, the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
9:24 Then fire camewent out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell onface their facesdownward.
10:1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on itthe fire and offered strange fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them.
10:4 Moses called also to Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come forward, carry your relatives away from the front of the sanctuary to thean area outside of the camp.”
10:5 So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, to thean area outside of the camp, just as Moses had said.
10:6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you willdo not die and that He willdoes not become wrathful against all the congregation. But your kinsmen, the wholeentire house of Israel, shall bewailweep for the burning which the Lord has brought about.
10:9 “Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the tent of meeting, so that you willdo not die—it is a perpetualpermanent statute throughout your generations—
10:10 and so as to make a distinction between the holy and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean,
10:12 Then Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his surviving sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the Lord’s offerings by fire and eat it as unleavened bread beside the altar, for it is most holy.
10:13 You shall eat it, moreover, in a holy place, because it is your dueallotted portion and your sons’ dueallotted outportion offrom the Lord’s offerings by fire; for thusso I have been commanded.
10:14 The breast of the wave offering, however, and the thigh of the offering you may eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you; for they have been given as your dueallotted portion and your sons’ dueallotted outportion offrom the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
10:15 TheThey shall bring the thigh offered by lifting up and the breast offered by waving, they shall bring along with the offerings by fire of the portions of fat, to present as a wave offering before the Lord; so it shall be a thing perpetually due you and your sons with you, just as the Lord has commanded.”
10:16 But Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up! So he was angry with Aaron’s surviving sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,
10:17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering at the holy place? For it is most holy, and He gave it to you to beartake away the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord.
10:18 Behold, since its blood had not been brought inside, into the sanctuary, you certainly should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, just as I commanded.”!”
10:19 But Aaron spokesaid to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. When things like these happened to me, if I had eaten a sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of the Lord?”
10:20 When Moses heard that, it seemedwas good in his sight.
11:3 Whatever divideshas a divided hoof, thusshowing making split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat.
11:4 Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which dividehave thea divided hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not dividehave thea divided hoof,; it is unclean to you.
11:5 Likewise, the shaphanrock hyrax, for though it chews cud, it does not dividehave thea divided hoof,; it is unclean to you;.

11:30 and the gecko, and the crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand reptile, and the chameleon.

23:28 You shall not do any work on this samevery day, for it is a dayDay of atonementAtonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the Lord your God.
23:29 If there is any person who willdoes not humble himself on this samevery day, he shall be cut off from his people.
23:30 As for any person who does any work on this samevery day, that person I will destroyeliminate from among his people.
23:31 You shall not do noany work at all. It is to be a perpetualpermanent statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.
23:32 It is to be a sabbathSabbath of complete rest tofor you, and you shall humble your soulsyourselves; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening, you shall keep your sabbathSabbath.”
23:35 On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall not do noany laborious work of any kind.
23:36 For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord; it is an assembly. You shall not do noany laborious work.
23:38 besides those of the sabbathsSabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts and besides all your votivevowed and freewillvoluntary offerings, which you give to the Lord.
23:40 Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughsbranches of leafy trees with thick branches and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.
23:41 YouSo you shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetualpermanent statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
24:3 Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a perpetualpermanent statute throughout your generations.
24:6 YouAnd you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord.
24:7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, even an offering by fire to the Lord.
24:8 Every sabbathSabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel.
24:9 ItAnd it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the Lord’s offerings by fire, his portion forever.”
24:10 Now the son of an Israelite woman,—his whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and aan Israelite man ofhad Israela struggledfight withwithin each other in the camp.
24:11 TheAnd the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
24:12 TheyThen they put him in custody, sowaiting thatfor theMoses commandto ofgive thethem Lorda mightclear bedecision madein clearaccordance towith themthe command of the Lord.
24:14 “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and lethave all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then lethave all the congregation stone him.
24:15 You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin.
24:16 Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shallmust surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alienstranger as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
24:17 IfNow aif mansomeone takes the life of any human beinglife, he shallmust surely be put to death.
24:18 TheBut the one who takes the life of an animal shall make it goodrestitution, life for life.
24:19 If asomeone man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so shall it shall be done to him:
24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a manperson, so shall it shall be inflicted on him.
24:21 ThusSo the one who kills an animal shall make it goodrestitution, but the one who kills a manperson shall be put to death.
24:22 There shall be only one standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’ ”
24:23 Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. ThusSo the sons of Israel did, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
25:1 The Lord then spoke to Moses aton Mount Sinai, saying,
25:2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I shallam going to give you, then the land shall have a sabbathSabbath to the Lord.
25:3 SixFor six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its cropproduce,
25:4 but during the seventh year the land shall have a sabbathSabbath rest, a sabbathSabbath to the Lord; you shall not sow your field nor prune your vineyard.
25:5 YourYou shall not reap your harvest’s aftergrowth, and you shall not reap,gather and your grapes of untrimmed vines you shall not gather; the land shall have a sabbatical year.
25:6 All of you shall have the sabbathSabbath productsproduce of the land foras food; for yourself, and your male and female slaves, and your hired manworker and your foreign resident, those who live as aliensstrangers withamong you.
25:7 Even your cattle and the animals that are in your land shall have all its cropsproduce to eat.
25:8 ‘You are also to count off seven sabbathsSabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven sabbathsSabbaths of years, namelythat is, forty-nine years.
25:9 You shall then sound a ram’s horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the dayDay of atonementAtonement you shall sound a horn all through your land.
25:10 YouSo you shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release throughthroughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
25:11 You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor reapharvest its aftergrowth, nor gather ingrapes from its untrimmed vines.
25:12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its cropsproduce outfrom of the field.
25:14 IfFurthermore, if you make a sale, moreover, to your friend, or buy from your friend’s hand, you shall not wrong one another.
25:16 In proportion to thea extentgreater number of the years you shall increase its price, and in proportion to thefewer fewness of the years you shall diminishdecrease its price, forbecause it is athe number of crops that he is selling to you.
25:18 ‘You shall thustherefore observefollow My statutes and keep My judgments, so as to carry them out, so that you may live securely on the land.
25:20 But if you say, “What are we going to eat onin the seventh year if we do not sow ornor gather in our cropsproduce?”
25:21 then I will so order My blessing for you in the sixth year that it will bring forth the cropproduce for three years.
25:22 When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat old things from the cropproduce, eating the old until the ninth year when its cropproduce comes in.
25:23 ‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, forbecause the land is Mine; for you are butonly aliensstrangers and sojournersresidents with Me.
25:24 ThusSo for every piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.
25:25 ‘If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor that he hassells to sell part of his property, then his nearestclosest kinsmanredeemer is to come and buy back what his relative has sold.
25:26 Or in case asomeone man has no kinsmanredeemer, but so recovers his means as to find sufficient means for its redemption,
25:28 But if he has not found sufficient means to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall revert, so that he may return to his property.
25:29 ‘Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his redemption right remains valid until a full year fromafter its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year.
25:31 The houses of the villages, however, which have no surrounding wall, shall be consideredregarded as open fields; they have redemption rights and revert in the jubilee.
25:32 As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites have a permanent right of redemption for the houses of the cities which are their possession.
25:33 What, therefore, belongs to the Levites may be redeemed, and a house sale in the city of this possession reverts in the jubilee, forbecause the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel.
25:34 But pasture fields of their cities shall not be sold, for that is their perpetualpermanent possession.
25:35 ‘Now in case a countryman of yours becomes poor and his means withamong regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a stranger or a sojournerresident, so that he may live with you.
25:36 Do not take usuriousany kind of interest from him, but reverefear your God, so that your countryman may live with you.
25:37 You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gainprofit.
25:38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
25:39 IfNow if a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave’s service.
25:40 He shall be with you as a hired manworker, as if he were a sojournerforeign resident; he shall serve with you untilup to the year of jubilee.
25:41 He shall then goleave out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, so that he may return to the property of his forefathers.
25:45 Then,You too,may italso isacquire outthem offrom the sons of the sojournersforeign residents who livereside as aliens among you that you may gain acquisition, and outfrom of their families who are with you, whom they will have produced in your land; they also may become your possession.
25:46 You may evenalso bequeathpass them on as an inheritance to your sons after you, to receive as a possession; you can use them as permanent slaves. But in respect to your countrymen, the sons of Israel, you shall not rule with severity over one another.
25:47 ‘Now if the means of a stranger or of a sojournerforeign resident with you becomes sufficient, and a countryman of yours becomes so poor within regardrelation to him asand tosells sell himself to a stranger who is sojourningresiding with you, or to the descendants of a stranger’s family,
25:49 or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or one of his blood relatives from his family may redeem him; or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
25:50 He then, with his purchaser, shall calculate from the year when he sold himself to him up to the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall correspond to the number of years calculated. It is like the days of a hired manworker that he shallwill be with him.
25:51 If there are still many years remaining, he shall refund part of his purchase price in proportion to them for his own redemption;
25:52 andbut if few years remain until the year of jubilee, he shall so calculate with him. In proportion to his years he is to refund the amount for his redemption.
25:53 LikeHe shall be with him like a manworker hired year by year he shall be with him; he shall not rule over him with severity in your sight.
25:54 Even if he is not redeemed by these means, he shall still goleave out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.
26:1 ‘You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves ana carved image or a sacredmemorial pillarstone, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God.
26:2 You shall keep My sabbathsSabbaths and reverencerevere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
26:5 Indeed, your threshing season will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. YouSo you will thus eat your food to the full and live securely in your land.
26:6 I shall also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down, with no one makingto make you trembleafraid. I shall also eliminate harmful beastsanimals from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.
26:7 ButInstead, you will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword;
26:8 five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand,; and your enemies will fall before you by the sword.
26:10 YouAnd you will eat the old supply, and clear out the old because of the new.
26:13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.
26:15 if, instead, you reject My statutes, and if your soul abhorsloathes My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, andbut sorather to break My covenant,
26:16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appointsummon over you a sudden terror against you, consumption and fever that will wastemake away the eyes fail and cause the soul to pine awaylanguish; also, you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up.
26:17 And I will set My face against you so that you will be struckdefeated down before your enemies; and those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.
26:19 I will also break down your pride of power; and I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.
26:20 Your strength will be spentconsumed uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
26:21 IfYet then,if you actshow with hostility againsttoward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times according to your sins.
26:22 I will also let loose among you the beastsanimals of the field, which will bereavedeprive you of your children and destroyeliminate your cattle, and reduce your number so that your roads liebecome deserted.
26:23 ‘And if by these things you aredo not turnedlearn toyour lesson regarding Me, but actyou withshow hostility againsttoward Me,
26:24 then I in turn will actshow with hostility againsttoward you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins.
26:25 I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send pestilencea plague among you, so that you shallwill be deliveredhanded intoover to the enemy hands.
26:28 then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, evenfor I,My part will punish you seven times for your sins.
26:29 Further, you will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters you will eat.
26:30 I then will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and heappile your remains on the remains of your idols, for My soul shallwill abhorloathe you.
26:31 I will layturn waste your cities into ruins as well and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your soothing aromas.
26:32 And I will make the land desolate so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled overat it.
26:33 You, however, I will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become wasteruins.
26:34 ‘Then the land will enjoyrestore its sabbathsSabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and enjoyrestore its sabbathsSabbaths.
26:35 All the days of its desolation it will observehave the rest which it did not observehave on your sabbathsSabbaths, while you were living on it.
26:36 As for those ofamong you who mayare be left, I will also bring weaknessdespair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a drivenscattered leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee as though from the sword, and they will fall.
26:37 They will thereforethen stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand up before your enemies.
26:38 ButInstead, you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you.
26:39 So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquitywrongdoing in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquitieswrongdoing of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
26:40 IfBut if they confess their iniquitywrongdoing and the iniquitywrongdoing of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me—
26:41 I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—or if their uncircumcised heart becomesis humbled so that they then make amends for their iniquitywrongdoing,
26:43 For the land will be abandoned by them, and will makerestore up for its sabbathsSabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their iniquitywrongdoing, because they rejected My ordinances and their soul abhorredloathed My statutes.
26:44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhorloathe them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.
26:45 But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that I might be their God. I am the Lord.’ ”
26:46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the sons of Israel through Moses aton Mount Sinai.
27:2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When asomeone man makes aan difficultexplicit vow, he shall be valued according to your valuationassessment of persons belonging to the Lord.
27:3 If your valuationassessment is of thea male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuationassessment shall be fifty shekels of silver, afterby the shekel of the sanctuary.
27:4 Or if itthe person is a female, then your valuationassessment shall be thirty shekels.
27:5 IfAnd itif bethe person is from five years even to twenty years old, then your valuationassessment for thea male shall be twenty shekels, and for thea female, ten shekels.
27:6 But if theythe areperson is from a month even up to five years old, then your valuationassessment shall be five shekels of silver for thea male, and for thea female your valuationassessment shall be three shekels of silver.
27:7 If theythe areperson is from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuationassessment shall be fifteen shekels, and for thea female, ten shekels.
27:8 But if he is poorer than your valuationassessment, then he shall be placedpresented before the priest, and the priest shall valueassess him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall valueassess him.
27:9 ‘Now if it is an animal of the kind whichthat menone can present as an offering to the Lord, any such animal that one gives to the Lord shall be holy.
27:10 He shall not replace it ornor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; oryet if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.
27:11 If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which menone dodoes not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest.
27:12 TheAnd the priest shall valueassess it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, valueassess it, so shall it shall be.
27:13 But if he should ever wishwant to redeem it, then he shall add one-a fifth of it to your valuationassessment.
27:14 ‘Now if asomeone man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall valueassess it as either good or bad; as the priest valuesassesses it, so shall it shall stand.
27:15 Yet if the one who consecrates it should wishwant to redeem his house, then he shall add one-a fifth of your valuationassessment price to it, so that it may be his.
27:16 ‘Again, if asomeone man consecrates to the Lord part of the fieldsfield of his own property, then your valuationassessment shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.
27:17 If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuationassessment it shall stand.
27:18 If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuationassessment.
27:19 If the one who consecrates it should ever wishwant to redeem the field, then he shall add one-a fifth of your valuationassessment price to it, so that it may passbelong to him.
27:20 Yet if he willdoes not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another manperson, it may no longer be redeemed;
27:21 and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field setbanned apartfrom secular use; it shall be for the priest as his property.
27:23 then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuationassessment up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuationassessment as holy to the Lord.
27:25 Every valuationassessment of yours, moreover, shall be afterby the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
27:26 ‘However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no manone may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s.
27:27 But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall redeem it according to your valuationassessment and add to it one-a fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuationassessment.
27:28 ‘Nevertheless, anything which asomeone man sets apart to the Lord for destruction out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fieldsfield of his own property, shall not be sold ornor redeemed. Anything devotedset toapart for destruction is most holy to the Lord.
27:29 No one who may have been set apart among menmankind shall be ransomed; he shallmust surely be put to death.
27:30 ThusNow all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.
27:31 If, therefore, asomeone manshould wishesever want to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-a fifth of it.
27:33 He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; oryet if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’ ”
27:34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel aton Mount Sinai.
