The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah;

and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you,

who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] Jehovah.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, [are] these: they [are] My appointed seasons:

six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it [is] a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.

'These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:

in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the passover to Jehovah;

and on the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;

and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,

then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.

'And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,

and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.

'And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God — a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.

'And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;

unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;

out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two [loaves], of two tenth deals of flour they are, [with] yeast they are baken, first -[fruits] to Jehovah.

'And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

'And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,

and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first -[fruits] — a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;

and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work — a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.

'And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah [am] your God.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;

ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Only — on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;

and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.

'For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;

and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;

ye do no work — a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.

It [is] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month [is] a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;

on the first day [is] a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,

seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a restraint, ye do no servile work.

'These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,

apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.

'Only — in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day [is] a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;

and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.

'And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year — a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.

'In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,

so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'

And Moses speaketh [concerning] the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;

at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually — a statute age-during to your generations;

by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.

'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,

and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,

and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.

'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;

and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah — a statute age-during.'

And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,

and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;

and he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

'Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.

'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne his sin;

and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.

'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.

'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.

'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;

breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.

'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;

one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.'

And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, then hath the land kept a sabbath to Jehovah.

'Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase,

and in the seventh year a sabbath of rest is to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah; thy field thou dost not sow, and thy vineyard thou dost not prune;

the spontaneous growth of thy harvest thou dost not reap, and the grapes of thy separated thing thou dost not gather, a year of rest it is to the land.

'And the sabbath of the land hath been to you for food, to thee, and to thy man-servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy hireling, and to thy settler, who are sojourning with thee;

and to thy cattle, and to the beast which [is] in thy land, is all thine increase for food.

'And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years have been to thee nine and forty years,

and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your land;

and ye have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; a jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back each unto his possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back.

'A jubilee it [is], the fiftieth year, a year it is to you; ye sow not, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;

for a jubilee it [is], holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;

in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.

'And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another;

by the number of years after the jubilee thou dost buy from thy fellow; by the number of the years of increase he doth sell to thee;

according to the multitude of the years thou dost multiply its price, and according to the fewness of the years thou dost diminish its price; for a number of increases he is selling to thee;

and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

'And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,

and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.

'And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do not sow, nor gather our increase?

then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;

and ye have sown the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase, ye do eat the old.

'And the land is not sold — to extinction, for the land [is] Mine, for sojourners and settlers [are] ye with Me;

and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do give to the land.

'When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come, and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother;

and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient [for] its redemption,

then he hath reckoned the years of its sale, and hath given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it], and he hath returned to his possession.

'And if his hand hath not found sufficiency to give back to him, then hath his sold thing been in the hand of him who buyeth it till the year of jubilee; and it hath gone out in the jubilee, and he hath returned to his possession.

'And when a man selleth a dwelling-house [in] a walled city, then hath his right of redemption been until the completion of a year from its selling; days — is his right of redemption;

and if it is not redeemed until the fulness to him of a perfect year, then hath the house which [is] in a walled city been established to extinction to the buyer of it, to his generations; it goeth not out in the jubilee;
