Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,

No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him

Any person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water

That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.

And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.

So causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am the Lord who make them holy.

Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering

But anything which has a mark you may not give it will not make you pleasing to the Lord.

Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.

An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.

And the Lord said to Moses,

A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.

Let it be used for food on the same day do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.

And do not make my holy name common so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,

Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.

These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.

And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.

And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting you may do no field-work.

Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest

And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.

And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord.

And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.

Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.

And the Lord said to Moses,

And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.

And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.

Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.

Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.

Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.

In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.

On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.

For seven days you will be living in tents all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:

And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.

And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran,

Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and went into Haran and from there, when his father was dead, he was guided by God into this land, where you are living now:

And God said that his seed would be living in a strange land, and that they would make them servants, and be cruel to them for four hundred years.

And he made with him the agreement of which circumcision was the sign. And so Abraham had a son, Isaac, and gave him circumcision on the eighth day and Isaac had a son, Jacob, and Jacob was the father of the twelve heads of the families of Israel.

And made him free from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom and the approval of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.

But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers the first time.

Then Joseph sent for Jacob his father and all his family, seventy-five persons.

And they were taken over to Shechem, and put to rest in the place which Abraham got for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.

At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

And Moses was trained in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was great in his words and works.

And seeing one of them being attacked, he went to his help and gave the Egyptian a death-blow:

And the day after, he came to them, while they were having a fight, and would have made peace between them, saying, Sirs, you are brothers why do you do wrong to one another?

Will you put me to death as you did the Egyptian yesterday?

At the end of forty years, an angel came to him in the waste land of Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn-tree.

I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses, shaking with fear, kept his eyes from looking at it.

Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

This man took them out, having done wonders and signs in Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the waste land, for forty years.

This is the man who was in the church in the waste land with the angel who was talking to him in Sinai, and with our fathers and to him were given the living words of God, so that he might give them to you.

And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

Our fathers had the Tent of witness in the waste land, as God gave orders to Moses to make it after the design which he had seen.

Who was pleasing to God and he had a desire to make a holy tent for the God of Jacob.

But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

Did not my hand make all these things?

Which of the prophets was not cruelly attacked by your fathers? and they put to death those who gave them the news of the coming of the Upright One whom you have now given up and put to death
