Leviticus/WAYIQRA 21:1-24:23 21 And YAHOWAH said unto Mosheh, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aharon, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people: 2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled. 4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6 They shall be holy unto their ELOHIM, and not profane the name of their ELOHIM: for the offerings of YAHOWAH made by fire, and the bread of their ELOHIM, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his ELOHIM. 8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy ELOHIM: he shall be holy unto thee: for I YAHOWAH, which sanctify you, am holy. 9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. 10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his ELOHIM; for the crown of the anointing oil of his ELOHIM is upon him: I am YAHOWAH. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I YAHOWAH do sanctify him. 16 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 17 Speak unto Aharon, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his ELOHIM. 18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aharon the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of YAHOWAH made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his ELOHIM. 22 He shall eat the bread of his ELOHIM, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I YAHOWAH do sanctify them. 24 And Mosheh told it unto Aharon, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Yisra’EL. 22 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 2 Speak unto Aharon and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Yisra’EL, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am YAHOWAH. 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Yisra’EL hallow unto YAHOWAH, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am YAHOWAH. 4 What man soever of the seed of Aharon is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am YAHOWAH. 9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I YAHOWAH do sanctify them. 10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing 11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. 12 If the priest’s daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13 But if the priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof. 14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yisra’EL, which they offer unto YAHOWAH; 16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I YAHOWAH do sanctify them. 17 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 18 Speak unto Aharon, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Yisra’EL, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Yisra’EL, or of the strangers in Yisra’EL, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto YAHOWAH for a burnt offering; 19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of shalom offerings unto YAHOWAH to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto YAHOWAH, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto YAHOWAH. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 Ye shall not offer unto YAHOWAH that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land. 25 Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your ELOHIM of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you. 26 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH. 28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. 29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto YAHOWAH, offer it at your own will. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am YAHOWAH. 31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am YAHOWAH. 32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Yisra’EL: I am YAHOWAH which hallow you, 33 That brought you out of the land of Mitzraim, to be your ELOHIM: I am YAHOWAH. 23 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Yisra’EL, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of YAHOWAH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Shabbat of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Shabbat of YAHOWAH in all your dwellings. 4 These are the feasts of YAHOWAH, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is YAHOWAH’S Pesakh (Passover). 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is The Feast of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) unto YAHOWAH: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 9 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of Yisra’EL, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before YAHOWAH, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Shabbat the priest shall wave it. 12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto YAHOWAH. 13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your ELOHIM: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Shabbats shall be complete: 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh Shabbat shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto YAHOWAH.

17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto YAHOWAH. 18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto YAHOWAH, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto YAHOWAH. 19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of shalom offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before YAHOWAH, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to YAHOWAH for the priest. 21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day (Shebuot), that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am YAHOWAH your ELOHIM. 23 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 24 Speak unto the children of Yisra’EL, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Shabbat, a memorial of blowing of trumpets (Yom Teruah), an holy convocation. 25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH. 26 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement): it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH. 28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is Yom Kippur, to make an atonement for you before YAHOWAH your ELOHIM. 29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be unto you a Shabbat of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Shabbat. 33 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 34 Speak unto the children of Yisra’EL, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be The Feast of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) for seven days unto YAHOWAH. 35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. 37 These are the feasts of YAHOWAH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: 38 Beside the Shabbats of YAHOWAH, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto YAHOWAH. 39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto YAHOWAH seven days: on the first day shall be a Shabbat, and on the eighth day shall be a Shabbat. 40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before YAHOWAH your ELOHIM seven days. 41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto YAHOWAH seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Yisra’ELI born shall dwell in booths: 43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Yisra’EL to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Mitzraim: I am YAHOWAH your ELOHIM. 44 And Mosheh declared unto the children of Yisra’EL the feasts of YAHOWAH. 24 And YAHOWAH spake unto Mosheh, saying, 2 Command the children of Yisra’EL, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aharon order it from the evening unto the morning before YAHOWAH continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. 4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before YAHOWAH continually. 5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. 6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before YAHOWAH. 7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto YAHOWAH. 8 Every Shabbat he shall set it in order before YAHOWAH continually, being taken from the children of Yisra’EL by an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be Aharon’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of YAHOWAH made by fire by a perpetual statute

Ezekiel /Yekhez'qel 44:15-31 44:15 But the priests the Lewy’im, the sons of Tzadoq, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Yisra’EL went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith ADONAI ELOHIM: 16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. 18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat. 19 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments. 20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. 21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Yisra’EL, or a widow that had a priest before. 23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my Torah and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my Shabbats. 25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. 27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith ADONAI ELOHIM. 28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Yisra’EL: I am their possession. 29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Yisra’EL shall be their’s. 30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house. 31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.

MATTITYAHU 26:59-66 26: 59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against YAHOSHUA, to put him to death; 60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of ELOHIM, and to build it in three days. 62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 63 But YAHOSHUA held his shalom. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living ELOHIM, that thou tell us whether thou be the MASHIAKH, the Son of ELOHIM. 64 YAHOSHUA saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
