8:10 Moshe took the anointing shemen and anointed ha-Mishkan and all that was in it, and sanctified them.  11 He sprinkled it `al-ha-mizbeach seven times, and anointed ha-mizbeach and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them.  12 He poured some of the anointing shemen `al rosh Aharon, and anointed him, to sanctify him.  13 Moshe brought b'nei Aharon, and clothed them with coats, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them; as YHWH commanded Moshe.

8:14 He brought the bull of ha-chattat, and Aharon and his banim laid their hands on the head of the bull of ha-chattat.  15 He killed it; and Moshe took the blood, and put it on the horns of ha-mizbeach round about with his finger, and purified ha-mizbeach, and poured out the blood at the base of ha-mizbeach, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.  16 He took all the fat that was on the entrails, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moshe made it smoke `al-ha-mizbeach.  17 But the bull, and its skin, and its basar, and its dung, he burned ba-esh outside the camp; as YHWH commanded Moshe.

8:18 The ram of ha`olah was presented: and Aharon and his banim laid their hands on the head of the ram.  19 He killed it; and Moshe sprinkled the blood `al-ha-mizbeach round about.  20 He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moshe made the head, and the pieces, and the fat smoke.  21 He washed the entrails and the legs ba-mayim; and Moshe made the whole ram smoke upon ha-mizbeach.  `Olah hu for a sweet savor.  Ishsheh hu la-YHWH; as YHWH commanded Moshe.

8:22 He presented ha-ayil ha-sheni, the ram of consecration: and Aharon and his banim laid their hands `al-rosh ha-ayil.  23 He killed it; and Moshe took some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aharon and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.  24 And b'nei Aharon were brought; and Moshe put some 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 Moshe sprinkled the blood on ha-mizbeach round about.  25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh;  26 and out of the basket of matzot asher lifnei YHWH, he took challat matzah achat v'challat lechem shemen achat and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh.  27 He put all these in the hands of Aharon and in the hands of his banim, and waved them for a t'nufah lefnei YHWH.  28 Moshe took them from their hands, and made them smoke on ha-mizbeach `al-ha`olah.  They were a consecration for a sweet savor.  Ishsheh hu la-YHWH.  29 Moshe took the breast and waved it for a t'nufah lifnei YHWH.  It was Moshe's portion of the ram of consecration, as YHWH commanded Moshe.

8:30 Moshe took some of the anointing shemen and some of the blood which was `al-ha-mizbeach and sprinkled it on Aharon, on his garments, and on his banim, and on the garments of his banim with him, and sanctified Aharon, his garments, and his banim, and garments of his banim with him.

8:31 Vayomer Moshe el-Aharon and to his banim, "Boil ha-basar (at the) petach Ohel Mo`ed, and there eat it and ha-lechem that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, 'Aharon and his banim shall eat it.'  32 What remains of ha-basar and of ha-lechem you shall burn ba-esh.  33 U'mi-petach Ohel Mo`ed you shall not go out for shiv`at yamim, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you for shiv`at yamim.  34 What has been done ba-yom ha-zeh, so YHWH has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.  35 U'fetach Ohel Mo`ed you shall stay yomam va'lailah, and keep the charge of YHWH, that you don't die: for so I am commanded."  36 Aharon and his banim did all the things which YHWH commanded by Moshe.

9:1 Va'y'hi ba-yom ha-shmini that Moshe called Aharon and his banim u'l'ziknei Yisra'el;  2 vayomer el-Aharon, "Take a calf from the herd l'chattat v'ayil l`olah, without blemish, and offer them lifnei YHWH.  3 You shall speak l'b'nei Yisra'el, lemor, 'Take a male goat l'chattat; and a calf and a lamb, b'nei shanah, without blemish, l`olah;  4 and an ox and an ayil l'shlamim, to sacrifice lifnei YHWH; u'mincha mixed ba-shemen: ki ha-yom YHWH appears to you.'"  5 They brought what Moshe commanded el-p'nei ohel mo`ed: and kol ha-`edah drew near and stood lifnei YHWH.  6 Vayomer Moshe, "Zeh ha-davar asher YHWH commanded that you should do: and kavod YHWH shall appear to you."  7 Vayomer Moshe el-Aharon, "Draw near el-ha-mizbeach, and offer your chattat, and your `olah, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer korban ha`am, and make atonement for them; as YHWH commanded."

9:8 So Aharon drew near el-ha-mizbeach, and killed the calf of ha-chattat, which was for himself.  9 B'nei Aharon presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of ha-mizbeach, and poured out the blood at the base of ha-mizbeach:  10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver min-ha-chattat, he made to smoke upon ha-mizbeach; as YHWH commanded Moshe.  11 V'ha-basar and the skin he burned ba-esh outside the camp.

9:12 He killed ha`olah; and b'nei Aharon delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it `al-ha-mizbeach round about.  13 They delivered ha`olah to him, piece by piece, v'ha-rosh: and he burned them `al-ha-mizbeach.  14 He washed the entrails and the legs, and made them to smoke `al-ha`olah (on) ha-mizbeach.

9:15 He presented korban ha`am, and took the goat of ha-chattat which was for ha`am, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like ha-rishon.  16 He presented ha`olah, and offered it according to ha-mishpat.  17 He presented ha-minchah, and filled his hand from there, and made it smoke upon ha-mizbeach, besides `olah ha-boker.

9:18 He also killed the ox and ha-ayil, zevach ha-shlamim, which was for ha`am: and b'nei Aharon delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled `al-ha-mizbeach round about,  19 and the fat of the ox and of ha-ayil, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver:  20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he made the fat to smoke `al-ha-mizbeach:  21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aharon waved for a t'nufah lifnei YHWH, as Moshe commanded.

9:22 Aharon lifted up his hands toward ha`am and blessed them; and he came down from offering ha-chattat v'ha`olah v'ha-shlamim.  23 Moshe v'Aharon went el-Ohel Mo`ed, and came out, and blessed ha`am: and kavod YHWH appeared to kol ha`am.  24 There came forth esh mi-lifnei YHWH, and consumed ha`olah and the fat `al-ha-mizbeach: and when kol ha`am saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

10:1 B'nei Aharon Nadav v'Avihu each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered strange fire lifnei YHWH, which he had not commanded them.  2 Then came forth esh mi-lifnei YHWH, and devoured them, and they died lifnei YHWH.  3 Vayomer Moshe el-Aharon, "Hu asher daber YHWH lemor, 'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, v'`al-p'nei kol ha`am I will be glorified.'" Aharon kept silence.

10:4 Moshe called Misha'el v'Eltzafan, b'nei `Uzzi'el, the uncle of Aharon, vayomer to them, "Draw near, carry your achim from p'nei ha-Kodesh out of the camp."  5 So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, ka-asher diber Moshe.  6 Vayomer Moshe el-Aharon u'l'El`azar u'l'Itamar, his banim, "Don't let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes; that you don't die, and that he not be angry with kol ha-`edah: but let your achim, kol beit Yisra'el, bewail the burning which YHWH has kindled.  7 You shall not go out mi-petach Ohel Mo`ed, lest you die; for the anointing oil of YHWH is on you."  They did according to d'var Moshe.

10:8 Vai-daber YHWH el-Aharon, lemor,  9 "Drink no yayin nor strong drink, you, nor your banim with you, when you go el-Ohel Mo`ed, that you don't die: (it shall be a) chuchat `olam throughout your dorot:  10 and that you are to make a distinction bein ha-kodesh and the common, u'vein ha-tame u'vein ha-tahor;  11 and that you are to teach b'nei Yisra'el et kol ha-chukkim asher diber YHWH to them `al-yad Moshe."

10:12 Vai-daber Moshe el-Aharon v'el El`azar v'el-Itamar, his banim who were left, "Take ha-minchah that remains me-ishsheh YHWH, and eat it without matzah beside ha-mizbeach; ki kodesh kadashim hi;  13 and you shall eat it ba-maqom kadosh, because it is your portion, and the portion of your banim, me-ishsheh YHWH: for so I am commanded.  14 The breast of ha-t'nufah and the thigh of ha-t'rumah you shall eat ba-maqom tahor, you, and your banim, and your banot with you: for they are given as your portion, and the portion of your banim, out of the sacrifices of the shlamim of b'nei Yisra'el.  15 The thigh of ha-t'rumah and the breast of ha-t'nufah they shall bring with ishsheh of the fat, to wave it for a t'nufah lifnei YHWH: and it shall be for you and your banim with you, as a portion l`olam; as YHWH has commanded."

10:16 Moshe diligently inquired about the goat of ha-chattat, v'hinneh, it was burned: and he was angry `al-El`azar v`al-Itamar, b'nei Aharon who were left, saying,  17 "Why haven't you eaten ha-chattat b'm'kom ha-Kodesh, ki kodesh kadashim hi, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of ha`edah, to make atonement for them lifnei YHWH?  18 Behold, its blood was not brought into ha-Kodesh: you certainly should have eaten it ba-Kodesh, as I commanded."  19 Vai-daber Aharon el-Moshe, "Behold, this day they have offered their chattat and their `olah lifnei YHWH; and such things as these have befallen me: and if I had eaten ha-chattat ha-yom, would it have been pleasing in the sight of YHWH?"  20 When Moshe heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.

13:53 "If ha-Kohen looks on it, v'hinneh, the plague hasn't spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;  54 then ha-Kohen shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it shiv`at yamim more.  55 Then ha-Kohen shall look on it, after the plague is washed; v'hinneh, if the plague hasn't changed its color, and the plague hasn't spread, tameh hu; you shall burn it ba-esh.  It is an eating away, whether the bareness is inside or outside.

13:56 If ha-Kohen looks, v'hinneh, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:  57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading.  You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is.  58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be tahor."

13:59 This is the torah of the plague of tsara`at in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it tahor, or to pronounce it tameh.

19:9 When you reap the harvest of your eretz, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your sadeh, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest.  10 You shall not glean your kerem, neither shall you gather the fallen fruit of your kerem; you shall leave them for the poor and for ha-ger: Ani YHWH Eloheikhem.

19:17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear chet because of him.  18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the banim of your people; but ahavta l're'akha kamokha: Ani YHWH.

19:19 You shall keep my chukkim.  You shall not let your b'hemot breed with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your sadeh with two kinds of zera: neither shall there come on you a garment of two kinds of stuff mixed together.

19:20 Whoever lies carnally with an ishshah who is a bondmaid, pledged to be married to an ish, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.  21 He shall bring his asham la-YHWH, el-petach mo`ed, even a ram for an asham.  22 Ha-Kohen shall make atonement for him with the ram of the asham lifnei YHWH for his chet which he has sinned: and the chet which he has sinned shall be forgiven him.

19:23 When you shall come el-ha-aretz, and shall have planted all manner of etz for food, then you shall count the fruit of it as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten.  24 But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be kodesh, for giving praise la-YHWH.  25 In the fifth year shall you eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it: Ani YHWH Eloheikhem.

20:6 V'ha-nefesh that turns to mediums and to the spiritists, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face ba-nefesh ha-hi, and will cut him off from among his people.  7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be k'doshim; ki Ani YHWH Eloheikhem.  8 You shall keep my chukkim, and do them: Ani YHWH who sanctifies you.  9 For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be on him.

20:10 The man who commits adultery with another man's ishshah, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's ishshah, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.  11 The man who lies with his father's ishshah has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them.  12 If a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have created confusion; their blood shall be on them.  13 If a man lie with a male as with an ishshah, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them.  14 If a man take an ishshah and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt ba-esh, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.  15 If a man lie with a b'hemah, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall kill ha-b'hemah.  16 If an ishshah approaches any b'hemah and lie down thereto, you shall kill ha-ishshah v'et ha-b'hemah: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them.

20:17 If a man shall take his sister, bat aviv o bat imo, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.  18 If a man shall lie with an ishshah having her sickness ["period"], and shall uncover her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.  19 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.  20 If a man shall lie with his aunt, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.  21 If a man shall take his brother's ishshah, it is impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

20:22 You shall therefore keep all my chukkim, and all my mishpatim, and do them; that ha-aretz, where I bring you to dwell therein, not vomit you out.  23 You shall not walk b'chukkot ha-goy, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.  24 But I have said to you, You shall inherit their adamah, and I will give it to you to possess it, eretz flowing with milk and honey: Ani YHWH Eloheikhem who has separated you min ha`amim.  25 You shall therefore make a distinction bein ha-b'hemah ha-t'horah la-t'me'ah, and between the fowl ha-tameh la-tahor: and you shall not make your nafshot abominable ba-b'hemah or by bird, or by anything with which ha-adamah teems, which I have separated from you as tameh.  26 You shall be k'doshim to me: ki kadosh Ani YHWH, and have set you apart min ha`amim, that you should be mine.

20:27 V'ish o ishshah who is a medium or that is a spiritist shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be on them.

25:8 You shall number sheva Shabb'tot shanim to you, sheva shanim, seven times; and there shall be to you y'mei sheva Shabb'tot ha-shanim, forty-nine years.  9 Then shall you send abroad shofar t'ruah on the tenth day ba-chodesh ha-shvi`i; ba-Yom ha-Kippurim shall you send abroad shofar throughout all your eretz.  10 You shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty ba-aretz to all the inhabitants of it: yovel hi shall be; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his mishpachah.  11 Yovel hi shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather (the grapes) in it of the undressed vines.  12 Ki yovel hi; kodesh it shall be to you: you shall eat the increase of it min ha-sadeh.

25:13 Bi'sh'nat ha-yovel hazot you shall return every man to his possession.  14 If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy of your neighbor's hand, you shall not wrong ish et-achiv.  15 According to the number of shanim achar ha-yovel you shall buy of your neighbor, (and) according to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.  16 According to the length of the years you shall increase the price of it, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops does he sell to you.  17 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your Elohim: ki Ani YHWH Eloheikhem.

25:18 Therefore you shall do my chukkim and keep my mishpatim and do them; and you shall dwell `al-ha-aretz in safety.  19 Ha-aretz shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety.  20 If you shall say, What shall we eat ba-shanah ha-shvi`i?  Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;  21 then I will command my blessing on you ba-shanah ha-shishit, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three shanim.  22 You shall sow ha-shanah ha-shminit, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.  23 Ha-aretz shall not be sold in perpetuity; ki ha-aretz is mine: for you are gerim and sojourners with me.  24 U'v'khol eretz of your possession you shall grant a redemption la-aretz.

25:25 If your brother grows poor and sells some of his possession, then shall his kinsman who is next to him come, and shall redeem that which his brother has sold.  26 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he has grown rich and finds sufficient to redeem it;  27 then let him reckon the years of the sale of it, and restore the surplus la-ish to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his possession.  28 But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then that which he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it `ad shanat ha-yovel: and ba-yovel it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.

25:29 If a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.  30 If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then ha-bayit asher ba`ir shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his dorot: it shall not go out ba-yovel.  31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned `al-s'deh ha-aretz: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out ba-yovel.  32 Nevertheless the cities of ha-L'viyyim, the houses of the cities of their possession, may ha-L'viyyim redeem at any time.  33 If one of ha-L'viyyim redeems, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out ba-yovel; for the houses of the cities of ha-L'viyyim are their possession among b'nei Yisra'el.  34 But ha-sadeh of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

25:35 If your brother has grown poor, and his hand fail with you; then you shall uphold him: (as) a stranger and a sojourner shall he live with you.  36 Take no interest of him or increase, but fear your Elohim; that your brother may live with you.  37 You shall not give him your kesef on interest, nor give him your victuals for increase.  38 Ani YHWH Eloheikhem, who brought you forth me-eretz Mitzrayim, to give you eretz Kana`an, (and) to be your Elohim.

25:39 If your brother has grown poor with you, and sell himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as an `eved.  40 As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you to the year of jubilee:  41 then shall he go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own mishpachah, and to the possession of his avot shall he return.  42 For they are my `avadim, whom I brought forth me-eretz Mitzrayim: they shall not be sold as `avadim.  43 You shall not rule over him with rigor, but shall fear Eloheikha.  44 As for your `avadim, and your bondmaids, whom you shall have; of ha-goyim that are round about you, of them shall you buy bondservants and bondmaids.  45 Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, them you may buy, and of their mishpachot who are with you, which they have conceived in your eretz: and they shall be your property.  46 You shall make them an inheritance for your banim after you, to hold for a possession; them you may enslave l`olam: but over your brothers, b'nei Yisra'el, you shall not rule, one over another, with severity.

25:47 If a ger v'toshav with you has grown rich, and your ach has grown poor beside him, and sell himself l'ger toshav with you, or to the stock of mishpachat ger;  48 after that he is sold he may be redeemed: one of his brothers may redeem him;  49 or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his mishpachah may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.  50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him `ad sh'nat ha-yuvel: v'hayah kesef [the price] of his sale shall be according to the number of shanim; according to the time of a hired man shall he be with him.  51 If there be yet rabbot shanim, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption mi-kesef of his purchase.  52 If few are left ba-shanim `ad-sh'nat ha-yuvel, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years shall he repay his redemption.  53 As a hireling shanah b'shanah shall he be with him: he shall not rule with severity over him in your sight.  54 If he isn't redeemed by these (means), then he shall go out bi'sh'nat ha-yovel, he, and his banim with him.  55 For to me b'nei Yisra'el (are) `avadim; they are my `avadim whom I brought forth me-eretz Mitzrayim: Ani YHWH Eloheikhem.

CHAPTER 26
26:1 You shall make you no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image, or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: ki Ani YHWH Eloheikhem.  2 You shall keep my Shabb'tot, and reverence my Mikdash: Ani YHWH.

(33) PARASHAT B'CHUKKOTAI
In my statutes
26:3 - 27:34

26:3 If you walk in my chukkot, and keep my mitzvot, and do [i.e., work at] them;  4 then I will give your rains in their season, and ha-aretz shall yield its increase, v`etz ha-sadeh shall yield their fruit.  5 Your threshing shall reach to the (time of the) vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time;[A] and you shall eat your lechem to the full, and dwell in your aretz safely.  6 I will give shalom ba-aretz, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause chayyah ra`ah to cease min-ha-aretz, neither shall the sword go through your aretz.  7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.  8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.  9 I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my b'rit with you.  10 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall bring forth the old mi-p'nei chadash.  11 I will set my Mishkan among you: and my nefesh won't abhor you.  12 I will walk among you, and will be to you as Elohim, and you shall be my people.  13 Ani YHWH, Eloheikhem, who brought you forth me-eretz Mitzrayim, that you should not be their `avadim; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

26:14 But if you will not listen to me, and will not do kol ha-mitzvot ha-eleh;  15 and if you shall reject my chukkot, and if your nefesh abhors my mishhpatim, so that you will not do all my mitzvot, but break my b'rit;  16 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the nefesh to pine away; and you shall sow your zera in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.  17 I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck before your enemies: those who hate you shall rule over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you.  18 If you will not yet for these things listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your chattot.  19 I will break the pride of your power: and I will make your shamayim as iron, and your eretz ka-n'choshet;  20 and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your eretz shall not yield its increase, v`etz ha-aretz shall not yield their fruit.

26:21 If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your chattot.  22 I will send chayyat ha-sadeh among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your d'rakhim shall become desolate.

26:23 If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;  24 then will I also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your chattot.  25 I will bring a sword on you, that shall execute the vengeance of ha-b'rit; and you shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.  26 When I break your staff of lechem, ten nashim shall bake your lekhem in one oven, and they shall deliver your lekhem again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

26:27 If you won't for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me;  28 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your chattot.  29 You shall eat basar of your banim, and basar of your banot shall you eat.  30 I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies on the bodies of your idols; and my nefesh shall abhor you.  31 I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I won't smell the savor of your sweet odors.  32 I will bring ha-aretz into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it.  33 You will I scatter among ha-goyim, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your eretz shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

26:34 Then shall the land enjoy its Shabbatot, as long as it lies desolate, and you are in the eretz of your enemies; even then shall ha-aretz rest, and enjoy its Shabbatot.  35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn't have in your Shabbatot, when you lived on it.  36 As for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart b'artzot of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.  37 They shall stumble one on another, as it were before the sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.  38 You shall perish ba-goyim, and eretz of your enemies shall eat you up.  39 Those who are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their avot shall they pine away with them.

26:40 They shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their avot, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,  41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them b'eretz of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity;  42 then will I remember my b'rit with Ya`akov; and also my b'rit with Yitzchak, and also my b'rit with Avraham will I remember; and I will remember ha-aretz.  43 Ha-aretz also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its Shabbatot, while it lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my mishpatim, and their nefesh abhorred my chukkim.  44 Yet for all that, when they are b'eretz of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my b'rit with them; ki Ani YHWH, Eloheihem;  45 but I will for their sakes remember the b'rit of their ancestors, whom I brought forth me-eretz Mitzrayim in the sight of ha-goyim, that I might be to them l'Elohim: Ani YHWH.

26:46 Eleh ha-chukkim v'ha-mishpatim v'ha-torot which YHWH made between him u'vein b'nei Yisra'el b'Har Sinai b'yad Mosheh.

A (5) Amos 9:13.


PEREQ ‏כז‎
CHAPTER 27
27:1 Vai-daber YHWH el-Mosheh lemor,  2 Daber el-b'nei Yisra'el, and tell them, When an ish shall utter a neder of nafshot la-YHWH according to your valuation,  3 then your valuation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekel kesef, b'shekel ha-Kodesh [the Sanctuary].  4 If it be a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekel.  5 If it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be of the male twenty shekel, and for the female ten shekel.  6 If it be from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be of the male five sh'kalim kasef, and for the female your valuation shall be three sh'kalim kasef.  7 If it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shakel, and for the female ten sh'kalim.  8 But if he be poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set lifnei ha-Kohen, and ha-Kohen shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall ha-Kohen value him.

27:9 V'im b'hemah, whereof men offer a korban la-YHWH, all that any man gives of such la-YHWH shall be kodesh.  10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, tov b'ra o ra b'tov: and if he shall at all change b'hemah bi-v'hemah, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be kodesh.  11 V'im kol-b'hemah t'me'ah, of which they do not offer a korban la-YHWH, then he shall set ha-b'hemah lifnei ha-Kohen;  12 v'ha-Kohen shall value it, ben tov u'vein ra: as you ha-Kohen value it, so shall it be.  13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to your valuation.

27:14 When a man shall sanctify his bayit kodesh la-YHWH, then ha-Kohen shall value it, bein tov u'vein ra: as ha-Kohen shall value it, so shall it stand.  15 If he who sanctified it will redeem his bayit, then he shall add the fifth part of kesef of your value to it, and it shall be his.

27:16 If a man shall sanctify la-YHWH part of the sadeh of his possession, then your value shall be according to the sowing of it: the sowing of a chomer of barley (shall be valued) at fifty shekel kasef.  17 If he sanctify his field from the year of ha-yovel, according to your value it shall stand.  18 V'im achar ha-yovel he sanctifies his sadeh, then ha-Kohen shall reckon to him ha-kesef according to ha-shanim that remain `ad sh'nat ha-yovel; and an abatement shall be made from your value.  19 If he who sanctified ha-sadeh will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of kesef of your value to it, and it shall be assured to him.  20 If he will not redeem ha-sadeh, or if he has sold ha-sadeh l'ish acher, it shall not be redeemed any more:  21 but ha-sadeh, when it goes out ba-yovel, shall be kodesh la-YHWH as a sadeh devoted; the possession of it shall be to ha-Kohen.  22 If he sanctify la-YHWH a sadeh which he has bought, which is not of ha-sadeh of his possession;  23 then ha-Kohen shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation `ad sh'nat yovel: and he shall give your valuation ba-yom ha-hu, kodesh la-YHWH.  24 Bi-sh'nat yovel, ha-sadeh shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of ha-aretz belongs.  25 All your valuations shall be b'shekel (of) ha-Kodesh [sanctuary]: twenty gerah yih'yeh ha-shakel.

27:26 Only the firstborn among b'hemot, which is made a firstborn la-YHWH, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, la-YHWH hu.  27 V'im ba-b'hemah ha-t'me'ah, then he shall ransom it according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

27:28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote la-YHWH of all that he has, whether me-adam u'v'hemah u'mi-s'deh of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is kodesh kadashim la-YHWH.  29 No one devoted, who shall be devoted min-ha-adam, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

27:30 All the tithe of ha-aretz, mi-zera ha-aretz, mi-p'ri ha-`etz -- la-YHWH hu: kodesh la-YHWH.  31 If a man will redeem anything of his tithe, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.  32 All the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be kodesh la-YHWH.  33 He shall not search bein tov la-ra, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be kodesh; it shall not be redeemed.

27:34 Eleh ha-mitzvot which YHWH commanded Mosheh el-b'nei Yisra'el b'Har Sinai.
