The Five Books of Moses 4 Sefer Moses The Book of Testimony The teachings of Moses and Zipporah, as given them by YHVH in Egypt and upon the Mountain of Strength Chapter 1 The Covenant of the Passover And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses and Zipporah in the land of Egypt, saying: This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them everyone a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house; And if the household be too little for the lamb, let they and their neighbor next unto their house take it according to the number of the souls; everyone according to their needs shall make your count for the lamb: And this shall be a lamb without blemish, a male of the first year; thou shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats; And thou shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs in the evening, And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Thou shalt not eat of it raw, nor shalt thou cook it with water; but roast the lamb with fire— his head with his legs and with the purtenance thereof. And thou shall eat of it, wasting nothing; yea, let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning thou shall burn with fire; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thus shall thou eat it: with thy loins girded, thy shoes on thy feet, and thy staff in thine hand; and thou shall eat it in haste; for it is the Passover of YHVH. For I will pass through the land as a thief in the night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the elohim of thy enemies I will execute judgment; I am YHVH. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the house where thou are; And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and thou shall keep it a feast to me, YHVH thy Elohim, throughout your generations; thou shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever; I am YHVH. ¶ And for Seven days shall thou eat unleavened bread; even the first day thou shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; No manner of work shall be done in them, save that which everyone must eat, this only may be done of you. And thou shall observe the feast of leavened bread; for on this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall thou observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever; In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at the evening, thou shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether they be a stranger or born in the land; Thou shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thou shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of your houses until the morning. For I, YHVH, will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when I seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, I will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you; And thou shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy children forever. ¶ And it shall come to pass that when thou shall come into the land which I will give thee, according as I hath promised, that thou, Israel, shall keep this ordinance. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you: What mean ye by this sacrament? And thou shall say unto them: It is the sacrifice of the Passover of YHVH, who passed over the houses of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ This is the ordinance of the Passover; there shall no stranger eat thereof; But even thy servants that are bought for money, when thou hast converted them, then shall they eat thereof. But those foreign to YHVH, they that know me not, these shall not eat thereof. And in one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall thou break a bone thereof. And all of the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee and will keep my Passover, let them come near and keep it; and they shall be as one that is born in the land; One Torah shall be to they that are born among you, and one Torah unto the stranger that sojourneth among you; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 2 The Mitzvah of the Seventh Day Sabbath And it came to pass that YHVH spoke unto Moses and Zipporah in the wilderness, saying: Write out the mystery of my creation, for in six ages did YHVH Elohim finished all the works of this creation, And the Sabbath was kept by YHVH and the Elohim in the seventh age, and it is hallowed for all ages, and appointed as a sign for all the works of YHVH Elohim. ¶ And in the first age did Elohim create the heavens which are above and all the spirits; the angels, and the breath of fire, and the spirit of the winds ; And thus did Ha’Elohim divide the light from the darkness, opening the heavens, that the abyss and the darkness should be broken; And that the light which Ha’Elohim had prepared from before the beginning should be found in the heart of the creation. And thereupon the Morning Stars saw these works, and sang their praises; for great were the works of Ha’Elohim on the first day. ¶ And in the second age Elohim created the firmament in the midst of the waters, And the waters were divided between the firmament that is the midst over the face of the whole earth, and the waters below the earth and in the abyss. ¶ And in the third age Ha’Elohim commanded the waters to divide from the earth that dry land should appear. And the waters did as they were instructed, and they slept in the firmament, and the dry land appeared, and when the Heavens wept the Earth was made fertile. And in that age the seas were created, and the rivers, and all the gatherings of the waters upon the earth, and the dew of the earth; And because of this, the seeds were sown, and plants, and trees, all manor of shrubs were birthed in Eden, and Her garden was full upon the earth. ¶ And in the fourth age Elohim birthed the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heavens; And these were give unto the earth to give light upon all the creation, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness, that all things may prosper which should grow on the earth. And YHVH appointed the sun and the moon to be great signs for the earth; for days, and for Sabbaths, and for months, and for feasts, and for years, and for all the seasons of the years; And this too, that the will of Ha’Elohim should be known, as the Word of Ha’Elohim is written upon the skies. ¶ And in the fifth age Elohim created the monsters of the deep, and the fish, and everything that moveth in the waters; the first of flesh upon the earth; And Elohim created birds, and the insects, and everything that flies, and all their kind; Yea, everything that was above the earth, and everything that is below the earth, and everything that shoots out of the earth that are flesh. ¶ And in the sixth age Elohim created all the creatures of the earth, and all cattle, and everything that moves upon the face of the earth. Yeah, And after all this did Ha’Elohim create Adam, both male and female created They them. And it came to pass that I, YHVH, gave the people that were created charge over all that is upon the earth, and all that is in the seas, and all that flies above the earth; And mankind was given charge over all beasts of the deserts, and forests, and the mountains, and over cattle and the herds, and over everything that moves upon the earth, and over the creation upon the whole earth. ¶ And Ha’Elohim finished all Their works in the sixth age; yea, all the works in the Heavens, and on the Earth, and in the abyss, and in the light, and in the darkness, and in everything; And this was given unto mankind as a sign, that we may remember the Sabbath day: That mankind should work six days, but keep Sabbath on the seventh day holy, for this is the seventh age, and it is the Sabbath of YHVH, for I am Lord of the Sabbath; And all the malakim that Ha’Elohim hath send fourth hath given mankind this mitzvah: To keep the Sabbath with me both in heaven and on earth, that the earth and the heavens be one. And I, YHVH, say unto you: Behold, I will separate unto Myself a people from among all of mankind made by Ha’Elohim, and these shall keep the Sabbath day, And I will sanctify them unto Myself, and I will set the apart as My people, and I will bless them; And even as I have sanctified the Sabbath and do sanctify it unto myself, even so will I bless Israel; and they shall be My people, and I will be their Elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And I have sent malakim unto all mankind that walketh upon the earth, and I have chosen the seed of Jacob to be my Israel from amongst all that I have seen, And have written Jacob down as my first-born, and have sanctified him unto myself forever and ever; And I will teach my Israel the mitzvah of the Sabbath day, that they may keep Sabbath thereon that they might rest from their labors, that they put their faith in me, and rest not upon the arm of the flesh; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thus have I created therein a sign in this, that Israel should keep the Sabbath with Ha’Elohim on the seventh day; to eat, and to drink, and to bless me, YHVH, the Creator of all things; And as I have blessed and sanctified unto myself a peculiar people above all peoples, and they that keep my everlasting covenant shall join in and keep my Sabbath together and be my Israel: For upon My Word were the heavens and earth and everything in them created in the six ages, and Elohim did make the seventh age holy; Therefore I, YHVH, instruct thee on behalf of the Sabbath: Whoever does any work thereon shall be marked as one that hath fallen off the path, and that they who defiles it shall not be found in Israel; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Wherefore, give my mitzvah unto all my children, Israel, to observe this day that they may keep it holy and not to defile it, as it is holier than all other days; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And whoever profanes it shall surely be in tribulation, that my children, Israel, may observe this day throughout their generations, and not be uprooted from out of the land of their inheritance. And all they who observe and keep the Sabbath will be holy and blessed throughout all days, and shall stand as a reminder to those that abandon Israel for other elohim of the flesh, that they might walk in teshuvah and be my Israel once more; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. I give thee charge this day, say to my children, Israel: The Torah of this day, both that they should keep Sabbath thereon, and that they should not forsake it in their hearts; And that My Sabbath is a day to rest from any earthly burdens, that they should prepare for themselves on the sixth day all their labors, that they not bring in nor take out from house to house on that day; For Ha’Elohim kept the Sabbath holy and blessed it in the heavens before it was made known to any flesh upon the earth. And this charge to keep the Sabbath I give unto my Israel alone; yea, to Israel alone do I give them to eat and drink and to keep my Sabbath upon the earth. And I give them this charge: This mitzvahi and testimony should be given to thy children thy children's children forever, even unto the last generation; And this that all the earth might know that Israel be my covenant peoples; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 3 The Covenant of YHVH: The Decalogue And it came to pass that YHVH spoke unto Moses and Zipporah upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, saying: ONE Thou shalt love YHVH thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy might, and with all thy strength: Thou shalt adore YHVH, and serve me, and obey YHVH; thou shalt have no other elohim before thee. Thou shalt not make unto thee any image or likeness of anything that is in the Heavens above, or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters or in the abyss of the earth, to bow thyself unto it, or to worship it. Thou shalt bow thyself down before me, YHVH thy Elohim only; not bow down thyself unto, nor adore anything that thine eye beholdeth, or thy imagination conceiveth; For YHVH, thy Elohim, is jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, from generation to generation, even upon all that hate me, and showing a multitude of mercies unto them that keep my mitzvoth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. TWO ¶ Thou shalt not take the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, in vain: Thou shalt not usurp dominion as a ruler; for HaShem, YHVH thy Elohim, is great and glorious above all others; YHVH is above all, and is the El Elyon of Ha’Elohim; I, YHVH am the only just and upright King over all. I alone hath the right to rule; and in my name, YHVH, only they to whom I granteth it; Whosoever is not chosen of me, the same is a usurper, and unholy, and I will not hold them guiltless that taketh The Name in vain; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. THREE ¶ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHVH thy Elohim. In it thou shalt not do any work; thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy woman servant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates; For in six ages did I, YHVH thy Elohim, make the Heavens and the Earth, the sea and the abyss, and all that in them are, and I rested the seventh age; therefore, I blessed the seventh day and hallowed it. Thou shalt keep it holy unto me, that thou forget not the Torah, nor be thou found keeping the company of the vile, nor be despised by the righteous; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. FOUR ¶ Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: Thou shalt not revile them, nor speak evil of them, nor curse them; Thou shalt do no injustice unto them; and thou shalt maintain their rights against their enemies. Thou shalt not exact rigorously of them, nor turn aside from relieving them; Thou shalt deliver them from the snare and the pit, and shalt return their ox when it strayeth. Thou shalt comfort them when they mourn, and nurture them when they sicken. Thou shalt not abate the price of what thou buyest of them, for their necessity; nor shalt thou exact of them, because they leaneth upon thee; For in so doing thousands shall rise up and call thee blessed, and YHVH thy Elohim shall strengthen thee in all the work of thy hand; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. FIVE ¶ Honor thy father and thy mother: Thou shalt give heed to their instructions, obey their mitzvoth, and depart not from their precepts; Reverence their age, and seek unto their house all the days of thy life; Exalt not thyself against them, nor withhold to build up their house above thine own. Honor and obey YHVH and the Judges, and the rulers of the congregation, and all that are set in authority; for they are as fathers and mothers among the people; this that they may be a fear unto evil doers; And the Priest and Priestess also, who stand before YHVH, that they may instruct thee, and thy days shall be long upon the land which YHVH thy Elohim giveth thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. SIX ¶ Thou shalt not murder: Thou shalt slay no one in malice; neither thy child, nor thy wife, nor thy bondman, nor thy bondwoman, nor thy servant, nor the child of thy servant; Neither shalt thou slay thine enemy, except thou first admonish them, and entreat them, and they hear thee not, and Ha’Elohim given them into thy hand. Thou shalt only slay thy enemies in time of war. If anyone should trespass against thee, and break through, and do violence, thou shalt not slay them in revenge; But if thou overtake them in the trespass, thou mayest resist unto blood; and if thou slay them not in the trespass, thou shalt deliver them to the Judge; they shall judge them, and the hand of the judge shall be on them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. SEVEN ¶ Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not in any wise lie with the wife of thy neighbor; And if she seduce thee, thou shalt resist her; that thou pollute not thyself, and make not the place of thy house unclean, and destroy not the house of thy neighbor, and that thou cause no violence in the land. Thou shalt not lie with the wife of the stranger; Neither shalt thou lie with the wife of thine enemy; lest thy children be scattered abroad, and know not thee, nor the fear of thee be upon them, and they be strangers to My covenant, and the whole land be corrupt, and thine offspring be destroyed with the wicked; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. EIGHT ¶ Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not trespass upon anything that belongs to thy neighbor, to take it from them, nor to destroy it; Neither shalt thou trespass upon the stranger that dwelleth within thy gates, to destroy their substance, nor to take it from them; For to thee they looketh for justice, and a shield round about all that they hath; and the fear of YHVH thy Elohim is upon them also, and to their righteousness they also seeketh. Neither shalt thou over reach them by cunning, nor by stratagem, to take the substance from thy neighbor, nor the stranger within thy gates. Remember that ye were strangers in Egypt, and were oppressed, and thus thou shall oppress not the stranger, lest their cry ascend to Ha’Elohim against you; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. NINE ¶ Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not speak falsely before the rulers of the congregation, nor before the Judge, nor in the assembly, nor among the multitude; Nor in the ear of thy friend, nor to thy spouse, nor thy child, nor thy servant; Neither shalt thou withhold the truth from the rulers, nor the Judge, nor anyone that is set in authority; for thus shall righteousness be established in all thy borders; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. TEN ¶ Thou shalt not covet the inheritance of thy neighbor: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, nor bondman, nor bondwoman, nor manservant, nor woman servant, Nor their horse, nor their carriage, nor their instruments of labor, nor the produce of their land, Nor the things that they have made, nor the treasures that they have in their storehouses, nor anything that is belonging to thy neighbor. Thy desire shall not be upon them, to take them by stealth, nor by fraud, nor by cunning, nor by violence; Neither shalt thou covet that which belongeth to the stranger that dwelleth within thy gates; But thou shalt improve thine own, and thy desire shall be unto it, lest thou be corrupt, and the hand of thy neighbors be against thee, and the cry of the poor ascend to Ha’Elohim against thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 4 The Covenant of Israel And it came to pass, after Moses did break the first tablets, that YHVH instructed that a second set be made; and Moses and Zipporah went back up to the Mount of Ha’Elohim, and YHVH spoke unto them, saying: ONE Thou shalt worship no other elohim. TWO Thou shalt make thee no molten elohim. THREE Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. FOUR Thy first desire that come unto thee from the womb is mine. FIVE Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath and thou shalt rest. SIX Thou shalt observe Yom HaBikkurim at the time of the first fruits, and Chag HaAsif at the time of the final harvest in thy seasons. SEVEN Thou shalt gather all thy men children to appear before the Lord YHVH, the Elohim of Israel thrice in the year. EIGHT Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven. NINE ¶ Thou shalt bring the first of the first fruits of thy land unto the House of YHVH, thy Elohim. TEN ¶ Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mother; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 5 The Torah of YHVH Behold, I make an everlasting covenant; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation; And all the people among thee shall see the work of YHVH; for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. Observe thou that which I instruct thee this day; behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt worship no other elohim: For the Lord, whose name is YHVH, is a jealous Elohim; Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee; But thou shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves; Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their elohim and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of their sacrifice, And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their elohim and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt make thee no molten elohim: Nor shalt thou make unto thee elohim of wood, or of stone, or of any works by thy hand, or any elohim by the hands of men; For this thing is detestable unto me, that thou should go a whoring after other gods; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ The Feast of Unleavened Bread shalt thou keep: Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I instructed thee, in the time of the month thou camest out from Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thy first desire that come unto thee from the womb is mine: All the firstborn of thy sons and thy daughters thou shalt redeem; And every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male; But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou redeem him not, then thou shalt set him loose: And none shall appear before me empty handed; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, thou shalt rest: And even in the times of plowing and in harvest thou shalt rest; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thou shalt observe Yom HaBikkurim, the Feast of Weeks, which is the Feast of the Firstfruits of Wheat Harvest; and Chag HaAsif, the Feast of Booths which is Sukkot, in the seventh month: These shall be Sabbaths to thee, with the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, that ye may gather as my Israel in remembrance, And this that the people should not forget their path in teshuvah that they be my Israel; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thrice in the year shall all thy men children appear before me, the Lord YHVH, the Elohim of Israel: For I will cast out the nations before thee and enlarge thy borders; Neither shall anyone desire thy land when thou shalt go up to appear before me, YHVH, thy Elohim, thrice in the year; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven: Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left unto the morning; But there shall be none wasted, and all shall have their fill, that thou should rememberest all that I, YHVH, hath done for my Israel; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the my house, even the house of YHVH, thy Elohim: And these shall be given to the Priests and the Priestesses, and they shall give to the poor, and those in need, that their wants and their needs should be met; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mother: This thing is an abomination before me, for it mocketh the creation; therefore this thing is done in idolatry and priestcraft, and is profane before my sight; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And this is the eternal covenant that I make, between me and my Israel, see that thou keepst it that my people should be preserved upon the lands that I shall give them; For when thou are obedient unto my covenant thou shall be blessed, and prosper in the land that I shall give unto thee, but when thou are not faithful then shall my wrath be poured out upon thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 6 Love YHVH, Our Elohim And it came to pass that after YHVH did give the Torah of the Covenant unto Moses and Zipporah upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, He spoke unto them again saying: ¶ Thou shalt not blasphemy Ha’Elohim, nor curse the ruler of thy people; turn not unto idols nor make to thyselves molten gods; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Thou shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither ear you up a standing image; neither shall thou set up any image of stone in your land to bow down unto it; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt delight in blessing, and not in cursing; and in the name of Ha’Elohim and of all the Holy Ones, even all that are above thee, shalt thou bless; and it shall be a blessing. Thou shalt bless thy brethren and thy sistren, and thy children, and thy servants, and their children; And all who seek to learn the righteousness of Elohim, and the peace of Israel, and all whom I, YHVH, hath committed to thy care; and they who blesseth thee, thou shalt honor. ¶ If thou walk in my statutes, and keep my instructions, and do them, then I will give thee rain in due season; and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit; And thy threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and thou shall eat thy bread to the full and dwell in thy lands safely. And I will give peace in the land; and thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and I will rid evil beasts out of the land; neither shall the sword go through your land. And thou shall chase thy enemies, and they shall fall before thee by the sword. And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. For I will have respect unto thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with thee. And thou shall eat of the old store and will need to clean out the old to make way for the new grains. And I will set my Tabernacle among thee; and my soul shall not abhor thee; And I will walk among you and will be thy Elohim; and ye shall be my people. I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou should not be their bondman; and I have broken the bands of thy yoke and made thee go upright. ¶ But if thou will not hearken unto me and will not do all these instructions, and if thou shall despise my statutes, Or if thy soul should abhor my judgments, so that thou will not do all my instructions, but that thou break my covenant, I also will do this unto thee: I will even appoint over thee terror, consumption, and the sickness of chills and fever, that shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart; And thou shall sow thy seed in vain, for thy enemies shall devour thee and the fruits of the land in which thou should labor. And I will set my face against thee, and thou shall be slain before thine enemies; they that hate thee shall reign over you; and thou shall flee when none pursueth you; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish thee seven times more for thy sins; And I will break the pride of thy power; and I will make thine heaven as iron and thine earth as brass; And thy strength shall be spent in vain; for the land shall not yield her increase; neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon thee according to thy sins. I will also send wild beasts among thee, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy thy cattle, and make thee few in number; and your highways shall be desolate; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me, then will I also walk contrary unto thee and will punish thee yet seven times for thy sins. And I will bring a sword upon thee that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant; And when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and thou shall be delivered into the hand of the adversary. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven; and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight; and thou shall eat and not be satisfied. And if thou will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me, then I will walk contrary unto thee also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise thee seven times for thy sins; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou shall turn the hearts of the sons away from the hearts of the fathers, and hearts of the mothers away from the daughters then shall I come and smite the earth with a curse; And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation; and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen and will draw out a sword after you; and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. Then shall Eden enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate and thou shall be in thine enemies' land; even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths. And as long as Eden lieth desolate, it shall rest because it did not rest in your Sabbaths when thou dwelt upon it; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; And the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth; And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword when none pursueth; and thou shall have no power to stand before your enemies. And thou shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ But if thou shall confess thine iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me, And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies, if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity, Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember thy mother, Eden. And the land also shall be left of them and shall enjoy her Sabbaths while she lieth desolate without them; And they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity and this because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away; neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their mothers and fathers, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their Elohim; I am YHVH. ¶ And in all things that I have said unto thee, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods; neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. Thou shalt not bow down to their elohim, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them. And thou shall serve me, and I shall send Raphael to bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take the plagues of sickness away from the midst of thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 7 The Mitzvath of YHVH When thou prayest, thou shalt not use many words, or vain repetitions; for Ha’Elohim hath understanding: nor shalt thou cry aloud; for I, YHVH, thy Elohim, heareth the whisper of the heart. Nevertheless, when Israel shall gather in the assembly thou shalt speak with a loud voice, that they who prayeth with thee may say: So mote it be, Amen. Thy prayers shall be unto me, YHVH, for I am thy Father; and I am rich in mercy, and loving kindness; and in the heavens I shall hear thee in the fullness of my wisdom and goodness, And if thou believe on my name, thou shalt petition for whatsoever I has dispensed unto thee, for mercy is over all my works; And thou shall not swear by my name falsely; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim; I am YHVH. ¶ They that sacrificeth unto any elohim, save unto YHVH only, they shall no longer be counted as one of Israel; For thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment; neither shalt thou trust or follow a wicked person in their cause; Therefore, whosoever be of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed as a burnt offering in sacrifice, they shall surely be cast out; And if any should sacrifice a living seed of Adam, the people of the land shall stone them with stones, it shall be a life for a life. And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to sacrifice; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim; For I am YHVH, and I will set my face against these and will cut them off from among this people because they hath given of their seed unto death, to defile my sanctuary and to profane my holy name. And if the people of the land hide their eyes, letting go this trespass of those who giveth of their seed unto the fire of sacrifice and kill them not, Then I will set my face against them and against their family and will cut them off, and all that go a whoring after them, to commit whoredom with death from among their people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And I have said unto thee: Thou shall inherit their land; and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey; I am YHVH your Elohim, which have separated thee from other people; Thou shall, therefore, put difference between the clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean; And thou shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. ¶ A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit or that is a necromancer shall surely be cast out from among you, least their blood be upon you; Neither shall thou be ruled over by omens nor whisper enchantments in priestcraft. Turn thou not to the diviner, but let the dead have their rest; neither seek after your dead, to be defiled by them; Sleep not upon the grave that thou should be possessed by the dead, know not their secrets, but let them have their due. Thou shall not make any cuttings or incisions in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you for the dead; I am YHVH which sanctify you. And the soul that turneth after the necromancer and after their priestcrafts, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against them and will cut them off from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt make tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations, and thou shalt put upon the tzitsit a blue thread; And it shall be unto thee for a protection, that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvoth unto me and do them, And thou shalt remember that Israel is a holy people, a nation of kings and queens, and of Priests and Priestesses; Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be thou holy; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim; and thou shall keep my statutes and do them; I am YHVH which sanctify thee. Chapter 8 The Sabbaths of YHVH I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, to give thee the land of promise and to be thy Elohim; Thou shall be my Israel, thou shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, for a solemn assembly; thou shall do no work therein; it is the Sabbath of YHVH in all your dwellings. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in the fruits thereof; But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard and with thy olive yard; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year: Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in which thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days as I commanded thee in the time appointed of the month; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty; And the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field; and the Feast of Booths, and this is when thou hast gathered in thy final labors out of the field; These three times in the year all thy males shall appear before me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Concerning the feasts of YHVH, which thou shall proclaim to be solemn assemblies, even these are my feasts, and I am YHVH. ¶ Thou shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary; and thou shall be holy unto me; For I, YHVH, am holy and have severed thee from other people, that thou should be mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 9 The Sabbaths of Passover and Yom HaBikkurm In the fourteenth day of the first month at the evening is the Passover; And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread; seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread. In the first day thou shall have thy solemn assemblies; thou shall do no servile work therein; But thou shall offer an offering made by fire unto me for seven days; in the seventh day is a holy assembly; thou shall do no servile work therein. And thou shall count unto thee from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that thou brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete; Even unto the day after the seventh Sabbath shall thou number fifty days; and thou shall offer a new meat offering unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread from the first wheat from thy harvest; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the first fruits unto me. And thou shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams; They shall be for an offering unto me, with their meat offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto me, and should be fed to the poor among you that have not been cast out. Then thou shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of Peace Offerings. And the Priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before me, with the two lambs; they shall be holy unto me for the Priest and Priestess. And even if any of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body or be in a journey afar off, yet thou shall keep the Passover; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. The fourteenth day of the second month at even thou shall keep it and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Thou shall leave none of it unto the morning nor break any bone of it; according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if a stranger shall sojourn among you and will keep the Passover, according to the ordinance of the Passover and according to the manner thereof, so shall they do; thou shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for they that was born in the land. And thou shall proclaim on the selfsame day that it may be a holy convocation unto thee; thou shall do no servile work therein; it shall be a statute forever in all thy dwellings throughout your generations; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And in the Sabbath of Yom HaBikkurim, when thou bring a new meat offering unto me after thy weeks be out, thou shall gather the Solemn Assembly; thou shall do no servile work; But thou shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savor unto me: two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; And their meat offering of flour, mingled with oil, three parts unto one bullock, two parts unto one ram, one part unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; and one kid, to make an atonement for thee. And thou shall offer them beside the continual offering, and the meat offerings, and their libations; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 10 The Sabbaths of Zikhron Teru’ah (Rosh Hashanah), Yom Kippur, and Chag HaAsif (Sukkot) And in the seventh month, in the first day of the month, thou shall have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Thou shall do no servile work on the Sabbath of Zikhron Teru’ah for it is a day of teshuvah for you; but thou shall offer an offering made by fire unto me, YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be Yom Kippur; Thou shall gather in solemn assembly; and thou shall afflict thy souls and offer an offering made by fire unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And thou shall do no work in that same day; for it is the Day of Atonement, to make an atonement for you before me; For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, they shall be cut off from among this people; And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Thou shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings; It shall be a Sabbath of rest unto thee, and thou shall afflict thy soul; in the ninth day of the month at the evening, from the evening unto following evening, shall ye celebrate thy Sabbath. And the Priest shall take him two kid goats, and cast lots upon them; one lot for me, YHVH, thy Elohim, and the other lot for Azâzêl. And the Priest shall bring the goat upon which the lot fell and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before me, to make an atonement with him and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness, given to Azâzêl; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Booths for seven days unto YHVH. On the first day shall be for a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH; on the eighth day ye shall have your solemn assemblies, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH; And it is a solemn assembly for all your generations forever; and thou shall do no servile work therein; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Also, in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when thou hast gathered in the fruit of the land, thou shall keep a feast unto me for seven days; on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. And thou shall take thee 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 thou shall rejoice before me, YHVH, thy Elohim, seven days. And thou shall keep it a feast unto me seven days in the year; it shall be a statute forever in your generations; thou shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Thou shall dwell in a tent for seven days; all that are born into my Israel shall dwell in tents, That your generations may know that I made my children, Israel, to dwell in tents when I brought thee out of the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And these are the feasts of my Sabbaths, which thou shall proclaim in your Solemn Assemblies at the harvest season, to offer an offering made by fire unto me; It shall be a meat offering by fire, and a sacrifice, and drink offerings, and libations; each of these thou shall do, each on its designated day, And these are in addition to the Seventh Day Sabbath, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which thou giveth unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 11 The Sabbath of Jubilee When thou come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto me, YHVH, thy Elohim. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard and gather in the fruit thereof; But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for me, YHVH; thou shalt neither sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard. That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed; for it is a year of rest unto the land. And the Sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land; And all the increase thereof shall be meat unto thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the Seven Sabbaths of Years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And thou shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a Jubilee unto you; And thou shall return unto everyone their possession, and thou shall return everyone unto their families. A Jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you; thou shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed; For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; thou shall eat the increase thereof out of the field; I am YHVH, thy Elohm. ¶ And in the year of this Jubilee thou shall return unto everyone their possessions; And if thou sell anything unto thy neighbor or buyest anything of the hand of thy neighbor, ye shall not oppress one another. According to the number of years after the Jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbor; and according unto the number of years, of the fruits they shall sell unto thee; According to the multitude of years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for according to the number of the years, of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. Thou shall not, therefore, oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy Elohim; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Wherefore, thou shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and thou shall dwell in the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and thou shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou shall say: What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase; Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And thou shall sow the eighth year and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in, thou shall eat of the old store; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ I say unto thee that the land shall not be bought, neither can it be sold; for the land is mine; for thou are strangers and sojourners with me; And in all the land of thy possession thou shall grant a redemption for the land, for it is mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 12 Love Thy Neighbors Thou shalt not curse out of the bitterness of thine own heart; nor shalt thou curse any but they that are under condemnation of my Covenant, and, being oft rebuked, will not repent. Thou shalt not curse thy neighbor, nor the stranger that dwelleth with thee; for the hand of the Judge is over them; and when they are rebuked, they might repent, and turn to righteousness; Thou shalt not curse any who are placed in authority, or have been given jurisdiction over thee. And if they oppress thee, or cause thee to suffer in unrighteousness, and thy cry ascend to Ha’Elohim in the heavens, then the heavens shall hear thee and I will be thy avenger; Therefore, curse not, lest thy curse return to rest upon thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; And I say again: Thou shalt not oppress a stranger; for thou knoweth the heart of a stranger, seeing thou wast a strangers in the land of Egypt. And if a stranger sojourn with thee in the land, thou shall not vex him; But the stranger that dwelleth with thee shall be unto thee as one born among you, and thou shalt love them as thyself; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not afflict any widow or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will send armies to kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a banker; neither shalt thou lay upon them any interest. If thou at all take the raiment of thy neighbor to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto them by the time that the sun goeth down; for that is their only covering; it is their raiment for their skin; Wherein shall he sleep? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear him; for I am gracious; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not lie carnally with the wife of thy neighbor, to defile thyself with her; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into my house; And when thou reap the harvest of the land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field; neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard; neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause; but shall feel and cloth the poor among thee that my people be free, and their wants and needs be met. ¶ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shall teach thy family that sin not suffer upon thy children. ¶ Thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 13 Love Thy Mothers and Fathers Thou shall be holy; for I YHVH, thy Elohim, am holy; Thou shall fear everyone their mother and their father and keep my Sabbaths; I am YHVH, thy Elohim; For everyone that curseth their father or their mother, surely their blood shall be upon them. Thou shalt rise up before the gray haired, and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy Elohim; I am YHVH. ¶ After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein thou dwelt, thou shall not do; and after the doings of the land of promise whither I bring you, thou shall not do; neither shall thou walk in their ordinances; Thou shall do my judgments and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein; I am YHVH; Therefore, thou shall keep my statutes and my customs, which if anyone should do, they shall live in them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not approach to any that is near of kin to thee, to uncover their nakedness; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. The nakedness of thy father or the nakedness of thy mother shalt thou not uncover; she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. The nakedness of the wife of thy father shalt thou not uncover; it is thy father's nakedness. The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. The nakedness of the son or daughter of thy son or the son or daughter of thy daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for theirs is thine own nakedness. The nakedness of the daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, and thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the sister of thy father; she is the near kinswoman of thy father. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the sister of thy mother, for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the brother of thy father; thou shalt not approach to his wife; she is thine aunt. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law; she is the wife of thy son; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the wife of thy brother; it is the nakedness of thy brother. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; neither shalt thou take her the daughter of her son, or the daughter of her daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kins-women; it is wickedness. Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her lifetime. ¶ Thou shalt not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall to fornication, and the land become full of wickedness. Thou shall, therefore, keep my statutes and my judgments and shall not commit any of these abominations, neither any of your own nation nor any stranger that sojourneth among you; For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them, shall be cut off from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Whensoever I, YHVH thy Elohim, shall manifests myself unto thee in majesty and might, or walketh with thee, and evealeth unto thee wisdom and knowledge, thou shalt erect unto my pillars, tablets and enduring monuments, and make inscriptions upon them; And thou shall write and inscribe thereon my dealings with thee, and my blessings and mercies, and my power and glory, which I hath revealed unto thee; That it may remain a witness to the generations to come; and that they may know that thy Elohim is YHVH, and there is none else before me. Thou shalt preserve the memory of my chosen who have been faithful in my works, and in all whereunto I, YHVH thy thy hath asked of them as a memory for thy children, and the children of thy children; Therefore, thou shall do this that thou shall keep mine ordinance, that thou commit not any one of these abominable customs which were committed before thee, and that thou defile not yourselves therein; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 14 Love Thy Heart Thou shalt not commit adultery with the wife of another man; even he that committeth adultery with the wife of their neighbor, the adulterer and the adulteress, if it be that she was willing, shall surely be stoned; And the man that lieth with his the wife of his father hath uncovered the nakedness of his father; he shall surely be put to death; his own blood shall be upon him. And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, and it so be that she was willing, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. But if these should seek restitution, and walk in teshuvah, they may be cast out from among the congregation for a time, to prove themselves; and then they return and be one in Israel again; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. For thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister nor of thy father's sister; for they uncovereth their near kin; they shall bear their iniquity. And if a man shall lie with the wife of his uncle, and she be willing, then he hath uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they shall bear their sin and shall die childless. And if a man shall take the wife of his brother, and she be willing, it is an unclean thing; he hath uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness; they shall be removed from the congregation, both he and they, that there be no wickedness among you. But if a man also lie with a young boy, as a man would lieth with a woman, he hath committed an abomination; and that man shall surely be put to death; his own blood shall be upon him. Thou shalt not lie lie with the dead or defile them; it is abomination; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt, therefore, keep all my statutes and all my judgments and do them, that the land, whither I bring thee to dwell therein, spew you not out. And thou shall not walk in the manners of the nation which I cast out before thee; for they committed all these things; and, therefore, I abhorred them. Therefore, thou shall cast out from the Congregation all they that would pervert Israel that thou be holy, even as I am holy; I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt and thou shall not pollute the land that I shall give unto thee. Chapter 15 Love the Creation Thou shalt not seethe a kid in the milk of his mother, it is unnatural, and an abomination before me. Thou shall eat no manner of fat: none of ox, or of sheep, or of goat; And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself and the fat of that which is torn with beasts may be used in any other way; but thou shall in no wise eat of it; Moreover, thou shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of thy dwellings; neither shall thou eat a beast while it still lives; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. It shall be a perpetual statute for thy generations throughout all thy dwellings, that thou eat neither fat nor blood; For I am YHVH, thy Elohim; thou shall, therefore, sanctify thyself, and thou shall be holy; for I am holy. ¶ And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be cast out; and thou shall slay the beast; the blood of the beast shall be upon him. And if a woman approach unto any beast and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the beast; the blood of the beast shall be upon her; Neither shall thou defile thyself with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto; it is confusion; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Defile thyself not in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you; And the land is defiled; therefore, I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. For I am YHVH that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim; thou shall, therefore, be holy, for I am holy. Chapter 16 Love thy Neighbor In length, in weight, and in measure thou shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; Just balances, just weights shall thou have; I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. ¶ If thou meet the ox of thine enemy, or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. Thou shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him; the wages of they that are hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning; And if thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden and wouldest refrain from helping him, thou shalt surely help him; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not raise a false report; put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked. Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not treat lightly the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ In judgment thou shall do no unrighteousness; thou shalt not disrespect the person of the poor nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou watch over thy neighbor. And thou shalt take no gift, accepting no bribes; for the gift blindeth the wise and perverteth the words of the righteous. Thou shall keep my statutes, I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 17 Love Thy Enemy Thou shalt swear by my name, YHVH for I am thy Elohim, and this thou shall do by the reckoning of the Ruach HaKodesh, and by nothing less: Neither by the heavens, for the throne of El Elyon is there; nor by the hosts thereof, for they serve me; Nor by the earth, for it is the place of the sole of my foot; nor by the inhabitants thereof, for they are mortal, and vane; Nor by thyself, for thou art of a day, and shalt cease; nor by any work of mankind, for it perisheth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Remember that I, YHVH thy Elohim, spoke by the power and authority of mine own name, and this because there is none greater: And by the greater shalt thou swear, even by Elohim Shaddai, whose is the Kingdom under the whole of the heavens. Thou shalt not swear by the name of any other elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt not profane my name, YHVH, thy Elohim, nor my Presence, nor my Breath by any oath: But such oaths only as my Torah requireth of thee and alloweth, shalt thou take upon thee; for all else is profane. Thou shalt not profane the name of El Elyon by any oath or vow, of thine own; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thou shall make thy oath before the Rabbi, and the Judge, and the Ruler, and the Minister of the Torah; and before such as are set in authority, whensoever they require it: And there may be an oath also between those who enter into a covenant, and also between they that serveth, and they that ordereth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Thou shalt perform all thine oaths; whether unto Ha’Elohim or unto mankind, thou shalt perform them; thou shalt do according to every word that proceedeth out of thy mouth. Thou shalt not speak with thy lips when thy heart giveth not assent, to do and to perform all the words of thy mouth; And if thou swear by an oath to do anything which is known to thee, and it be sin, it is not an oath of mine; Thou canst not profane the name of the holy to sanctify sin; I shall judge thee, and they that asketh it of thee, and thou shall bear your sins together; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou swear by an oath to do a thing, and it be hid from thee, and thou know it not, and when it is known to thee it is sin; Thou shalt submit thyself unto the judgment of Ha’Elohim, and shalt do penance; and shalt make restitution, as shall be put upon thee, offering up a sin offering; And this that all sin may be put away, and thy heart purified, and wickedness put out of the land; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thy wife swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at her, the day that thou hearest it, her oath shall stand; If thou wilt not that she perform it, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for her oath, and shalt bear her iniquity; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ If thy daughter or thy son swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace to thy child the day that thou hearest it, the oath shall stand; If thou wilt not that the oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shalt bear the iniquity of thy child; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thy servant swear by an oath to do a thing which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at them, the day that thou hearest it, their oath shall stand; If thou wilt not that this oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shall bear the iniquity of thy servant; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Thou shall make no oaths; but if thou should vow a vow unto me, or swear an oath to bind thy soul with a bond; then thou shall not break thy word, thou shall do according to all that proceedeth out of thy mouth. Thou shalt neither make any oaths with nor shall thou respect the oaths of the Mahan; but in righteousness shalt thou make and keep all thy oaths that thou shall keep my statutes; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 18 Love Thyself If thy brother or thy sister be waxen poor and hath sold away some of their possession, and if any of their kin come to redeem it, then shall thou redeem that which thy brother sold. And if the thy have none to redeem it and they be able to redeem it, then let them count the years of the sale thereof and restore the surplus unto those to whom they sold it, that they may return unto their possession. But if they be not able to restore it, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of they that hath bought it until the year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it shall go out, and they shall return unto their possession; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if a man sell his dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the Jubilee. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the Jubilee. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession; And know this: That all the land belongeth to YHVH for a possession, thou mayest buy and sell, but know thee that it is mine, and I give it to all of Israel as an inheritance; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thy brother or sister should wax poor and fall in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve them; yea, though they be a stranger or a sojourner, that they may live with thee. Take thou no usury of them, or increase; but fear thy Elohim, that thy brother or sister may live with thee. Thou shalt not give them thy money upon usury nor lend them thy food or provisions for increase. And if thy brother or sister that dwelleth by thee wax poor and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel them to serve as a bondservant; But as a hired servant and as a sojourner they shall be with thee and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee; And then shall they depart from thee, both they and their children with them, and shall return unto their own family; and unto the possession of their fathers shall they return. For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondservants. Thou shalt not rule over them with rigor, but shalt fear thy Elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them shall thou might buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them thou might purchase, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land; and they shall be as your brethren of Israel, thou shall not rule one over another with rigor. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor and sell themselves unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family, After that they are sold, they may be redeemed again; one of their brethren may redeem them; Either their uncle or the son of their uncle may redeem them; or any that is nigh of kin unto the of their family may redeem them; or if they be able, they may redeem themselves. And they shall reckon with them that bought them, from the year that they were sold to them unto the year of Jubilee; and the price of their sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them, they shall give again the price of their redemption out of the money that they were bought for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of Jubilee, then they shall count with them; and according unto their years shall they give them again the price of their redemption. And as a yearly hired servant shall they be with them; and the other shall not rule with rigor over them in thy sight. And if they be redeemed not in these years, then they shall go out in the year of Jubilee, both they and their children with them. For unto me, my children, Israel, are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 19 The Levites Thou shall take the Levites from among my children, Israel, and cleanse them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And thus shalt thou do unto the males among them to cleanse them: Bathe them in water to the purifying of them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. And then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even with fine flour, mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. And thou shalt bring the sons of the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of Israel together. And thou shalt bring the sons of the Levites before me, YHVH; and the men of the Elders of Israel shall put their hands upon the heads of the Levites; And Aaron shall offer the Levites before me for an offering of my Israel, that they may execute their service unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And the sons of the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering and the other for an offering unto me to make an atonement for the Levites. And thou shalt set the sons of the Levites before Aaron and before his sons and offer them for an offering unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And thus shalt thou do unto the females among them to cleanse them: Bathe them in water to the purifying of them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes and so make themselves clean. Then let the sons of the Levites take a young bullock with her meat offering, even fine flour, mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. And thou shalt bring the daughters of the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of Israel together. And thou shalt bring the daughters of the Levites before me, YHVH; and the women of the Elders of Israel shall put their hands upon the daughters of the Levites; And Miriam shall offer the daughters of the Levites before me for an offering of my Israel, that they may execute in my service; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And the daughters of the Levites shall learn to read the night skies, and they shall learn the letters that they should know; ¶ And thou shalt set the daughters of the Levites before Miriam and offer them for an offering unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among Israel; and the Levites shall be mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And after that shall the sons of the Levites go in to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt cleanse them and offer them for an offering, For they are wholly given unto me from among Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all Israel, have I taken them unto me. For all the firstborn of Israel are mine, both human and beast; on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. And I have taken the Levites, the males and the females, for all the firstborn of Israel. And I have given the sons of the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among Israel, To do the service of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation and to make an atonement for Israel; that there be no plague among Israel when Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary. And I have given the daughters of the Levites as a gift to Miriam from among Israel, to do the service of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation and to read the skies, and divine the letters; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 20 A Holy People Thou shall be holy unto thy Elohim and not profane the name of thy Elohim; for the offerings unto me are made by fire, and the bread of thy Elohim doeth thou offer; therefore, they shall be holy, I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And my Priests shall not take a wife that is profane or that followeth after foreign elohim; neither shall they take a woman away from her husband; for he is holy unto his Elohim. And my Priestess shall not take for a husband one that commiteth adultery with foreign gods; neither shall she take a husband away from his wife, for she is holy unto her Elohim. Thou shalt sanctify my Priests and my Priestesses, therefore; for he offereth the bread and wine of thy Elohim, and she readeth the words Ha’Elohim hath written upon the skys; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And the daughter of any Priest or Priestess, if she profane herself with adultery to other elohim, she profaneth her mother and her father; she shall repenth with a burning fire in teshuvah. These shall be holy unto thee; for I, YHVH, which sanctify you, am holy; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And he that is the High Priest among his brethren, and she that is the High Priestess among her sistren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not rend their clothes; neither shall they defile themselves; Neither shall they go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of their Elohim; for the crown of the anointing oil of their Elohim is upon them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Neither shall they profane their seed among their people; for I, YHVH, do sanctify them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And they are they that shall go in unto the veil, and come nigh unto the altar, because of this, therefore, see that they profane not my sanctuaries; for I, YHVH, do sanctify them. And it shall be that Israel shall bring pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually; And the lamps shall be kept without the Veil of the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall the High Priest order it from the evening unto the morning before YHVH continually; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 21 The Torah of Sacrifice Thou shalt offer upon the altar of YHVH, thy Elohim, and before my Priests, sacrifices for thy offerings; for meat offerings and grain offerings, and for peace offerings, and for sin offerings; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Thy offerings shall be of the firstlings of thy flocks, and of the choice of thy fields, and of the chief of all holy things. Of thy flock shalt thou offer the firstling of male or female, without deformity or blemish, of such as divide the hoof and chew the cud; and of fowls, shalt thou offer all singing birds; And these shall be holy unto the me, YHVH thy Elohim, and shall be offered upon the altar; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. And of the choice of thy fields, that which is good for food without change or addition, and whatsoever is used for bread for mankind, that is holy unto me, YHVH, thy Elohim; And it shall be offered unto me as an offering, and lifted up to the Priest; but it shall not be offered on the altar. And whatsoever other thing thou shall offer, it shall be accompanied with one of these, and thus thy gift shall be sanctified; But if it be not accompanied with one of these, thou shalt redeem it at the valuation of the Priest, and it and the price thereof shall be mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And when thou shall come into the land which I give unto you and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the Priest; And he shall wave the sheaf before me, to be accepted for thee; on the day after the Sabbath the Priest shall wave it. And thou shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto me: And the meat offering thereof shall be of fine flour, mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto me for a sweet savor; And the drink offering thereof shall be of wine for your drink offerings and your libations; And thou shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears until the selfsame day that thou have brought an offering unto thy Elohim; And this shall be a statute forever throughout all of your generations in all your dwellings; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And if thou offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto me, YHVH thy Elohim, thou shalt offer it at thy own will. And it shall be eaten the same day thou offer it, and on the morrow; and if anything remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire; And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted; Therefore, everyone that eateth it shall bear this iniquity because they hath profaned the hallowed thing of YHVH; and that soul shall be cut off from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And when thou shall come into the land and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised; for three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten; But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise me with thy sacrifices. And in the fifth year shall thou eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof; Therefore, thou shall observe all my statutes, and all my customs, and do them until the Torah of Sacrifice be fulfilled; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And when the Torah of Sacrifice should be fulfilled, thou shalt remember the Torah of Sacrifice with the bread of knowledge to eat and the wine of wisdom to drink, this that thou shall gain understanding and shall not be confounded. Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits and of thy liquors; the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. Likewise, shalt thou do with thine oxen and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with his mother; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. And thou shall be a holy people unto me; neither shall thou eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; thou shall cast it to the dogs; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ And these are the statutes, and ordinances, and the Torah which I, YHVH make between me and my children, Israel, in the Mount of Ha'Elohim by the hand of Moses and Zipporah. Chapter 22 The Love of YHVH I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, to be thy Elohim; behold, I send my angel before thee to keep thee in the way and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared; Beware of him and obey his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions, for HaShem is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary unto thine adversaries; For mine angel shall go before thee and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off. There shall nothing cast their young nor be barren in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfill; I will send my fear before thee, and I will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come; and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee; And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee. I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beast of the field multiply against thee; By little and little I will drive them out from before thee until thou be increased and inherit the land. And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee. ¶ And thou shalt make no covenant with the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite nor with their elohim; They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. And thou shalt not seek not after thy own heart nor thy own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring after the gods of the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Thou shalt wear tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations, that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvoth and be holy unto thy Elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. Chapter 23 The Soul That Sins Chapters 23 - 29 collectively are The Torah of the Tabernacle -or- The Torah of the Sacrifice And Moses and Zipporah spoke unto the congregation of Israel from out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying: If a soul should sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether they hath seen or known of it, if they do not utter it, then they shall bear their iniquity. Or if a soul toucheth any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from them, they also shall be unclean. Or, if they should touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a person shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from them, when they knoweth of it, then they shall be guilty. Or if a soul swear, saying with their lips to do evil or to do good, whatsoever it be that someone shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from them, when they knoweth of it, then they shall be guilty in one of these. And it shall be that when they shall be guilty in one of these things, that they shall confess that they hath sinned in that thing; And they shall bring their trespass offering unto YHVH for their sin which they hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them concerning their sin. And if they are not able to bring a lamb, then they shall bring for their trespass, which they hath committed, two turtledoves or two young pigeons unto YHVH; one for a sin offering and the other for an offering. And they shall bring them unto the Priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder; And the Priest shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar; it is a sin offering. And they shall offer the second for a meat offering, according to the manner; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them for their sin which they hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven them. But if they be not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then they that sinned shall bring for their offering some fine flour for a sin offering; And they shall put no oil upon it; neither shall they put any frankincense thereon, for it is a sin offering. Chapter 24 All Sin in Ignorance If a soul commit a trespass and sin through ignorance in the holy things of YHVH, then they shall bring for their trespass unto YHVH a ram without blemish out of the flocks for a trespass offering; And they shall make amends for the harm that they hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the Priest; And the Priest shall make an atonement for them with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven them. And if a soul sin and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the mitzvoth of YHVH, though they new it not, yet are they guilty and shall bear their iniquity. And they shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering unto the Priest; And the Priest shall make an atonement for them concerning their ignorance wherein they erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven them. It is a sin offering; and all hath certainly trespassed against YHVH. Chapter 25 The Sin Offering If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against YHVH, and lie unto their neighbor in that which was delivered them to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived their neighbor, or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely, and sin therein, Then it shall be, because they hath sinned and are guilty, that they shall restore that which they took violently away, or the thing which they hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered them to keep, or the lost thing which they found, Or all that about which they hath sworn falsely, they shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto them to whom it appertaineth in the day of their sin offering. And they shall bring their sin offering unto YHVH, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering unto the Priest; And the Priest shall make an atonement for them before YHVH; and it shall be forgiven them for anything of all that they hath done in trespassing therein. And if a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH concerning things which ought not to be done and shall do against any of them, If the Priest or a Priestess that is anointed commits a sin, according to the sin of the people, then let them bring for their sin, which they hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto YHVH for a sin offering. And they shall bring the bullock unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before YHVH, and shall lay their hand upon the head of the bullock and look into the face of it, and kill the bullock before YHVH. And the Priest that is anointed shall take of the blood of the bullock and bring it to the Tabernacle of the Congregation; And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood of it and sprinkle of the blood seven times before YHVH before the veil of the sanctuary. And the Priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before YHVH, which is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And the Priest shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering, burning up the fat that covereth the inwards and all the fat that is upon the inwards. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, these shall be removed. And the skin of the bullock, with his head, and his inwards, and his dung, even all the parts that cannot be eaten, shall the Priests carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where burnt up and the ashes poured out; and burn him on the wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt. ¶ And if it should be that the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty, When the sin which they have sinned against it is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation. And the men of the Elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before YHVH; and the bullock shall be killed before YHVH. And the Priest that is anointed shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the Tabernacle of the Congregation; And the Priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood and sprinkle it seven times before YHVH, even before the veil. And the Priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before YHVH, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And the Priests shall take all his fat from him and burn it upon the altar. And the Priests shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering; so shall they do with this; and the Priests shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. And they shall carry forth the parts of the bullock that cannot be eaten without the camp and burn him as he burned the first bullock; it is a sin offering for the congregation. ¶ And when a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH, their Elohim, concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty, Or if their sin, wherein they hath sinned, come to their knowledge, they shall bring their offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish; And they shall lay their hand upon the head of the goat and look into the eyes of it, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before YHVH; for it is a sin offering. And the Priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. And the Priest shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them as concerning their sin, and it shall be forgiven them. ¶ And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while they doeth somewhat against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty, Or if their sin, which they hath sinned, come to their knowledge, then they shall bring their offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for their sin which they hath sinned. And they shall lay their hand upon the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. And the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. And the Priest shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; And the Priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor unto YHVH; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. ¶ And in all these, the sin offerings, the remnant of the meat offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, and for Miriam and her daughters; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto wants of those among you; For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, thy Elohim; but that YHVH receive the sweet savor of thy sacrifice. Chapter 26 Offerings of the Herd If anyone of you bring an offering unto YHVH, ye shall bring your offering, be it of goats or sheep, from the herd or of the flock. And if their offering be a sacrifice of the herd, let them offer a male without blemish; and they shall offer it of their own will, voluntarily, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before YHVH. And they shall put their hand upon the head of the burnt offering and look into the face of it; and it shall be accepted to make atonement for them. ¶ And the bullock shall be killed before YHVH; and the Priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the Priest shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order upon the fire; And the Priests shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar; But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water; and the Priest shall roast all on the altar, to be a sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH. ¶ And the beast shall be killed on the side of the altar Northward before YHVH; And the Priests shall cut it into his pieces with his head and his fat; and the Priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar. And when any will offer a meat offering unto YHVH, this offering shall be of fine flour; and they shall pour oil upon it and put frankincense thereon. ¶ And the Priests shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the Priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH; And none of the edible meat shall be wasted, but should be eaten by the Priests and the Priestesses of the tabernacle; And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto the wants of those among you; For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, but that YHVH shall receive the sweet savor. Chapter 27 Offerings of Foul And if the sacrifice for an offering to YHVH be of fowls, then they shall bring their offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons. And the Priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar; And they shall pluck away his crop with his feathers and cast it beside the altar on the East part by the place of the ashes. And the Priest shall cleave it with the wings thereof but shall not divide it asunder; And the Priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH. And thou shalt put oil upon it and lay frankincense thereon; for it is a meat offering. And the Priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; it is an offering made by fire unto YHVH. ¶ And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine, unleavened flour, mingled with oil. Thou shalt part it in pieces and pour oil thereon; it is a meat offering. And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto YHVH; and when it is presented unto the Priest, he shall bring it unto the altar. ¶ And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy Elohim to be lacking from thy meat offering; with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. And the remnant of the meat offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, and for Miriam and her daughters; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto wants of those among you; For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, but that He receive the sweet savor. Chapter 28 The Peace Offering And this is the Torah of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which ye shall offer unto YHVH: If the oblation be a sacrifice of Peace Offering, if they offer it of the herd, whether it be a male or female, goat or sheep, they shall offer it without blemish before YHVH. And they shall lay their hand upon the head of the offering, and look into the face of it, and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; And the Priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. And they shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering, an offering made by fire unto YHVH, burning up the fat that covereth the inwards and all the fat that is upon the inwards. ¶ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, these shall be removed. And the Priests shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire; it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH. ¶ And if their offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto YHVH be of the flock, male or female, they shall offer it without blemish. And if they offer a lamb for their offering, be it goat or sheep, then shall they offer it freely and of their own will before YHVH. And if they offer it for a thanksgiving, then they shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried. Besides the cakes, they shall offer for their offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of their peace offerings. And of it they shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an offering unto YHVH; And it shall be given to the Priest that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings. ¶ And the remnant of the meat offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, and for Miriam and her daughters; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto wants of those among you; And the flesh of the sacrifice of their peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; they shall not leave any of it until the morning. But if the sacrifice of their offering be a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that they offereth their sacrifice; and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten; For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, but that He receive the sweet savor. But if there be none to eat of it, then the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of their peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted; neither shall it be imputed unto them that offereth it; it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. Chapter 29 The Bread Offering And the Priests shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof; and thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before YHVH. And the Priests shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto YHVH. Every Sabbath the Priest shall set it in order before YHVH continually, being taken from Israel by an everlasting covenant. And it shall be given to the Priests and the Priestesses; and they shall eat it in the Holy Place; for it is most holy of the offerings made by fire by a perpetual statute. And it shall be that Israel shall bring pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually; so mote it be, Amen. Chapter 30 The Chereb of Truth Chapters 30 - 36 collectively are The Chereb of Moses -or- The Sword of Moses And it came to pass that when Moses and Zipporah left Aaron upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, the Voice was heard from the heavens, and YHVH spoke unto them, saying: A swift messenger shall go out unto Adam, and they who fulfill my Word will be my sons and my daughters, and will carry the chereb of truth which I give them, And this chereb is that my seers which have spoken from the foundation of the world, that thus will my Word be, And if anyone is desirous of using this chereb, by which the creation is revealed, and every miracle is performed, then speak to me, YHVH, thy Elohim. For in the beginning, in the name of Elohim Shaddai, four were appointed: Two were the angel of YHVH and Raphael who is Raziel from before the foundation of the world, And one was Zadkiel from the first day of creation, and one was Michael from the second day of creation. To these four are given the chereb by YHVH, the Creator; and they are appointed the Torah, and the urim and thummim, That by the Torah, and through these gazelem, Adam might see and be made to understand their role in the creation: preparing that which is below for that which is above, and bringing that which is above below that they are one. ¶ And with these four are five others, holy and strong; and these are their names: And one is Ariel from the third day of creation, And two are Haniel from the fourth day of creation, and Moroni from the fifth day of creation, And one is Gabriel from the sixth day of creation, And one is Sandalphon who is Remiel from the seventh day of creation, even the Sabbath of YHVH. And these know and say: There is one more who YHVH hath set as the crown upon his head and that YHVH givieth the understanding of His heart, and he is Zaphkiel who is Metatron from before the foundation of the world; And unto these have been given power over everything that moveth upon the creation: Yea, over these rest YHVH and under them rests the creation, and YHVH is Lord over all. ¶ And when mankind shall call upon YHVH, Ha’Elohim shall send out one of these or the malakim, one of the lords that stand under them, And they will not tarry in their homage toward YHVH, and will not withhold from giving authority to those who hold the chereb; For this is the instruction of YHVH unto them: Ye shall not refuse to obey Adam should they carry the chereb; therefore, honor Ha'Shem and not Adam, but thou shalt go unto them. ¶ And these are the words I give to thee, my servants, Moses and Zipporah: If thou desireth the chereb, and to pass it down from generation to generation, then know that thou who desires it must first fast for three days from food and drink, except once in the evenings, And when thou shall eat, thou shall first wash thy hands in salt, eating only unleavened bread, and drinking only water for three days, and this shall be thy fast: On the first day that thou should fast, before thou liest down to retire, thou shall bathe once and then no more for the three days, and thy sleep shall be sweet. ¶ And thou shalt pray in secret three times daily, saying: Blessed art thou YHVH, O Lord, our Elohim, Who opens the gates of the firmament, and givest light to the whole world and its inhabitants, with the multitude of Thy mercies, Who teachest Thy people, Israel, Thy Torah, and revealeth unto Israel the chereb; Grant me thy Torah that I, Thy servant, will be given authority over this chereb, that I shall be thy servant, That Thy will be done on earth and as it is in heaven; So mote it be, Amen. ¶ Do this and by my Breath, which is upon thee, I will bring thee into my Presence, deliver to thee my Word, and my malakim will teach thee, and my wonders will manifest from thee, and My malakim will listen and serve thee, And thou shall be as a pupil to their master, and thy eyes will be illuminated, and thy heart will see and behold that which is hidden. Chapter 31 Washing, Herbs, and Oils And the angel of YHVH spoke unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Thou shalt be washed, fully immersed in living water, be it by a running stream or with the mikveh; And this thou shall do to fulfill all righteousness; for except that thou born of the water, thou cannot enter into the Presence of Ha’Elohim; therefore ye shall shall wash with water that ye die not; And when thou cometh up out of the water, thou shall be clean and the Breath shall fall upon thee; And this thou shalt do that desire to be holy unto YHVH and walk in teshuvah before YHVH, thy Elohim, and to wear the mantel of righteousness. ¶ Take unto thee a cup of olive oil, and thou shall place inside this pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon or cassia, and sweet cane; Thou shall put in equal parts cinnamon or cassia and sweet cane, and as much myrrh as both the cinnamon or cassia and sweet cane; And thou shalt make with it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment mixed after the art of the apothecary; it shall be a holy anointing oil; And this thou shall use to anoint all that shall be anointed unto YHVH, even all that thou shalt sanctify, they shall be most holy; Whatsoever shall be anointed by this oil shall be holy; this shall be used for a holy anointing oil unto YHVH throughout thy generations; But upon the flesh of mankind, it shall not be poured; neither shall thou make any other like it, after the composition of it; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. ¶ Take unto thee sweet spices: nataph, and shecheleth, and chelbenah galbanum, and pure frankincense, each in equal measures; And with this, thou shalt make a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, seasoned with salt and holy; And thou shalt grind some of it into powder and as a testimony where thou would meet YHVH or His malakim; it shall be unto you most holy. And thou shall not make to eat of it, or to place upon mankind; it shall be unto thee holy for YHVH. Chapter 32 The Mantel of Righteousness Anyone brought before YHVH as a High Priest or a High Priestess, even as your father, Abraham and your mother Sarah, as ordained by Melchizedek, Having been approved of YHVH, they being ordained a High Priest and High Priestess after the order of the covenant which Ha’Elohim made with Enoch, And this being after the order of Yachad Yachid Echad, which order came not by Adam, nor the will of mankind, neither is it handed down by father nor mother, neither has it any beginning of days nor end of years, But it is of Ha’Elohim, given to mankind by Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, delivered unto mankind by the voice of Ruach Elohim, according to His own will; And to these are given power by YHVH that they might obtain the rod and the holy garments, even as were your father, Adam, and your mother, Eve; and Adam and Eve were given thus by me, the angel of YHVH. ¶ And lo; to make thy garments holy unto YHVH, that thou might use them for a protection, and to glorify the name of YHVH: Take thee a garment be it with or without sleeves, that shall fall down below the middle of thy calf, yet above thy feet, with the tzitzits upon the four corners, and thou shalt do these seven things: One, thou shalt place the symbols upon it: Lamed, the staff of Elohim upon the right breast; --- image --- Gimel, the motion upon the path of YHVH on the left breast; --- image --- Vav, the guidance of El Elyon upon the right about the knee; --- image --- Bet the house of Ruach Elohim about the navel. --- image --- The letters/symbols on the plates of brass do not look like the Hebrew letters we know today, nor do they look exactly like the symbols on modern Latter-day Saint garments. Their meaning and our understanding of them comes per inspiration as a part of the translation method. Two, thou shall wear the garments or keep them with thee for seven days, and sleep with them on or by thy side for seven nights; Three, thou shall fast for these seven days, and not eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living creature; neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; but thou shall eat the meat of the plants. Four, thou shall bathe every night and touch nothing that is unclean; Five, thou shall keep thy thoughts pure, speaking love and kindness with all that cross thy path. Six, upon the evening of the seventh day, thou shalt go into the water; and after thou hath bathed, pray; And when thou shall pray unto YHVH, a light shall descend upon thee: and if the light is green then thou art impure and shall begin again, therefore bathe thyself and make ready thy sin offering. And if the light is blue then the peace of YHVH is upon thee, and thou are worthy, thy garments are holy; Therefore (seven), thou shalt get thee out of the water, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest the peace offering, giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. And if the light is red, then this is the fire of YHVH, and thou art pure, and thy garment is holy; Therefore (seven), get thee out of the water, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest an offering of sacrifice giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. But if any blood should touch thee, or any unpure or violent thoughts should enter thy mind, or should anything that is unclean touch thee, thou shalt offer a sin offering in the Tabernacle and begin again after the new moon should come; And if on the night of the seventh day no light should come, then get thee to the Priest and make ready thy sin offering, and wait one year before fasting again. And now, behold, if thy garment be holy, then shalt thou watch over it, and wear it well that it be not defiled. ¶ And now, to set apart a rod or a sword, or a cup, or any other item unto YHVH and use it to create the miracle and to glorify the name of YHVH, thou shalt follow these seven steps: One: Thou shalt pray over it, asking YHVH to sanctify it, that it be holy. Two: thou shalt carry the rod, or sword, or cup, or any other item with thee for seven days, and sleep with it by thy side for seven nights; Three: thou shall fast for these seven days, and not eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; but thou shall eat the meat of the plants. Four: thou shall bathe every night and touch nothing that is unclean, washing thy hands in salt once in the morning, once at midday, and once in the evening; Five: thou shall keep thy thoughts pure, and speak lovingly with all that cross thy path; But if thou shall come upon the dead, or any blood should touch thee, or any impure or violent thoughts should enter thy mind, thou shalt offer a sin offering in the Tabernacle and begin anew after the new moon should come. Six: upon the evening of the seventh day, when thou shall pray unto YHVH, a light shall descend upon thee: And if the light is green then thou art impure and shall begin again, therefore bathe thyself and make ready thy sin offering. And if the light is blue then the peace of YHVH is upon thee, and thou are worthy; thy rod, or sword, or cup, or any other item is holy; Therefore (seven), pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest the peace offering. And if the light is red, then this is the fire of YHVH, and thou art pure; and thy rod, or sword, or cup, or any other item is holy; Therefore (seven), pray unto YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest an offering of sacrifice. And if thou should hold up thy rod, then call upon the winds, or the rain, or the hail, and they shall come; and the sword shall be a fire to protect thee; and if thou should seek wisdom, thy cup shall show thee, even as thy father, Joseph. And if on the night of the seventh day no light should come, then get thee to the Priest and make ready thy sin offering, and wait one year before fasting again. And should an malak come to thee during thy fast, and the angel should ask thee for thy rod, or thy sword, or thy cup, or the idem thou should give unto YHVH, then thou shall set it at their feet, And if they tell thee that thy rod, or sword, or cup, or other item is holy before YHVH, then ask them if they might place it in thy hand, and if they try but cannot, then they are iyrin and thou shall begin again upon the next month; But if they say unto thee: Nay, but it is holy, therefore the will of YHVH shall be done, then the rod is holy, and if thou should hold up thy rod, then call upon the winds, or the rain, or the hail, and they shall come. And now, if thy rod, or sword, or cup, or other item be holy, then shalt thou watch over it, that it be not defiled. ¶ And now, behold, to dedicate thy coat unto YHVH, that thou might use it for a protection, and to glorify the name of YHVH, One: thou shalt engrave the seal upon the inside of it; and in the middle of the seal put the letters, and around the seal thou shall write: YHVH, may this chereb do Thy services, and may the Lord of it approach! Seal d Recreation of the seal on the plates of brass Two: thou shall wear the cloak upon thee for seven days, and sleep in it or with it by thy side for seven nights. Three: thou shall fast for these seven days, and not eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; but thou shall eat the meat of the plants. Four: thou shall bathe every night and touch nothing that is unclean, but wash thy hands in salt three times a day; once in the morning, once in the midday, and once in the evening, before thou should bathe. Five: thou shall keep thy thoughts pure, and speak lovingly with all that cross thy path; But if any blood should touch thee, or any impure or violent thoughts should enter thy mind, thou shalt offer a sin offering in the Tabernacle and begin anew after the new moon should come. Six: upon the evening of the seventh day, thou shalt go into the waters, and after thou hath bathed, pray; when thou shall pray unto YHVH, lo! a light shall descend upon thee: And if the light is green then thou art impure and shall begin again, therefore bathe thyself and make ready thy sin offering. And if the light is blue then the peace of YHVH is upon thee, and thou are worthy, thy cloak is holy; Therefore (seven), get thee out of the water, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest the peace offering, giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. And if the light is red, then this is the fire of YHVH, and thou art pure, and thy cloak is holy; Therefore (seven), get thee out of the water wherein thou hath bathed thyself, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, And the next day make ready for the Priest an offering of sacrifice giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. ¶ And if on the night of the seventh day no light should come, then get thee to the Priest and make ready thy sin offering, and wait one year before fasting again. And when thou should wear the holy cloak, thou shall be as smoke, as a window to see between this world and the heavens where Ha’Elohim dwelleth, for it shall be unto thee as a coat of light; And thou shall see that Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Ariel doth watch over thee; And these shall send the revealer and other malakim to teach thee, and to guide thee through; And thou shall see, and thou shall prophecy, for YHVH hath made thee holy; therefore, wear thy cloak well, that thou be not defiled. Chapter 33 The Prophet and the Seer When the prophet or the prophetess dance to hear the will of YHVH, and the will of Ha’Elohim, let the Priests or the Priestess praise YHVH in dance: Let them sing praises unto El Elyon with the timbrel and harp; let the praises of Ha’Elohim be in their mouths. And ye shall place the crown upon the heads of the prophets and the prophetess; let the young men make music, and a joyful noise, and the young women dance in their praise; Let the eyes of the Elders be bright, that they might see, and YHVH shall speak unto Israel by the mouths of the prophets and the prophetesses, that the will of YHVH Elohim should be made known. And the Breath shall direct the mouths of the prophets by the Word of YHVH, and shall opened the hearts of the prophetess, And this that they might speak the peace of YHVH as the hands of the young men move over the harp, and the strings speak, and the feet of the young women are made light, and the Voice of Ha’Elohim shall be found in their feet. And the Presence of God shall come upon the congregation, and Israel shall know Their words; therefore, the sign or the wonder wheresoever they speak, surely it shall come to pass; Therefore, Israel shall walk after YHVH, their Elohim, and fear El Elyon, and keep the Torah, and obey the Voice. ¶ And the seer shall see, and the dreamer of dreams shall be given a dream; and should their words be true to the Covenant, then their signs and wonders should surely come to pass; And by this ye shall know that what they have spoken is from YHVH; therefore, ye shall follow what they shall speak, for they have spoken or the dream they have been given is by the Breath of Elohim. And unto the seer shall be given the gazelem, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light; and any who are instructed to look into the stone, the same is a seer; And the seer is greater than a prophet, for the seer can know of things which have passed and also of things which are to come, And secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, even hidden things which could otherwise not be known. And the prophet and the prophetess and the seer shall bring forth out of darkness into light all the secret works and abominations when Israel should rebel; And all their signs and their wonders ye shall retain from this people, that they know them not, lest Israel should fall into darkness also and be destroyed. Chapter 34 The Power of YHVH When healing, arise early and make ready myrrh and frankincense to burn on coals while calling upon YHVH, that He might send healing, and pray there upon the sick, saying: YHVH, I beseech Thee that Thou will give me success in healing this one, who is the son or daughter of them. And when the Elders shall pray over the sick, placing olive oil upon their heads, and YHVH, in His mercy, will send Raphael to heal them. And if thou canst not travel to they that need healed, write thy prayer down and send it to them, and when they receive it, YHVH, in His mercy, will send Raphael to heal them. Do this and anyone for whom that should ask, whether thou do this in writing or by thy voice, they will be healed. And if this faileth, then purify thyself from all thy sins and bathe thy flesh first, and then seek the will of YHVH that thou should succeed, And if it is not the will of YHVH, and if YHVH had said, in His great wisdom, not to send Raphael, then they will not be healed, Then YHVH, in His mercy, shall send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet, and he shall take them, and this is the will of Ha’Elohim; and so must it be; Amen. ¶ And should one of thy people be taken by a foreign spirit, or an unclean spirit, or by a familiar spirit, take thee a clean vessel of clay that has seen fire, and place within it oil and honey; Take thee a small rod, and bless it and sanctify it, and place it upon the forehead of they that are overcome, and speak unto them, saying: Come ye out! Come ye out by the strength of YHVH! Come ye, and be withdrawn; yea, come ye from out of this body, and get thee into this pot; in the name of YHVH shall ye do this; so mote it be, Amen. And when the spirit hath gotten up into that pot, it shall gurgle that thou should know; And then thou shall take it up from there and into the fields, and thou shall break the vessel in a place where there shall be no travelers, and thou shalt command that they should depart from among thy people; And then shall the spirits wonder the earth and no more bother thy peoples. ¶ And should thy enemies come before thee, thou mayest send the angels of the wrath of Ha’Elohim against them, be they thy creditor, or thy enemy, or armies, or any that should desire to do thee harm; And these should they do, if it be the will of YHVH: punish them, or the sinking of their ships, or the breaking of their walls, or the damage to their business; Or to exile them, or to place a plague upon them or upon their households, or to bind them or to blind them, or to make them mute, or to make them lame, or to do anything that would grieve them; But know that if thou should do this and thou art worthy of the same then I shall put that thing back against thee. Take thee fresh water from the stream and pour them into seven pots that have never tasted a flame; set these before Ha’Elohim at the night, that the stars should watch over them; And upon the seventh night, thou shalt pour the water out, speaking the name of thy enemies, and break the pots, and scatter the shards to the East, and to the North, and to the West, and to the South; Then thou shall say: YHVH, by thy power, bind them, smite them that the light of Thy eyes shall not look upon them, Make their mouth stop, that mine enemy should not bind or harm me in any way, but that which they should wish upon me should be done unto them; Make their plans against me be in vain, that they should not trespass against me, but that their trespass should be taken and turned against them; And should they be worthy in their anger against me, and should they be more worthy than myself, then should their plannings come to pass, and all that I wish against them should be done unto me; So mote it be, Amen. Do this, and that harm which thou desirest against thy enemy should be done unto them; but should thou not say: all that I wish against them should be done unto me; then shall Ha’Elohim know thy vanities, and YHVH shall bring thee low, even seven fold. And should thou pray for plenty or for famine, for the rain to be plenty or sparse, or whether there will be locusts come and strife, or whether the sword should come or peace; Know, O man, that the will of YHVH shall be done in all things; therefore, seek first the will of Ha’Elohim, then doest thou this and it will be well for thee and for thy house. ¶ Take thee a new vessel for drinking and fill it with oil mixed with the sweet smelling myrrh and thou comest out from the bridal chamber, throw it into the sun; Do this for three days in a row and thy season shall be fruitful; there shall be fruits plenty, and no locus shall come upon thee. ¶ Take thee the sweat of thy brow, and the sweat of brow of thy wife, and put these into an unpolluted cup with an amount of fine oil, and write upon it your names when the shofar hath blown for the full moon, And bless it, giving it as a sacrifice unto YHVH; then shall thou bury it under thy doorstep and dig it up after the shofar hath been sounded for the next new moon; And when ye shall wear it, both the husband and the wife, your passion shall be remembered, and your flames shall grow bright and hot. ¶ To call forth the malakim of YHVH that they might serve thee in wisdom in knowledge, bless a new vial filled with oil and honey, and call upon them by name, as a servant of YHVH; If the malak cometh not the first time, call again the next day, and this thou should do until the third day; And if the malak that thou doth call upon cometh not upon the third day, open the vial and see that the oil and honey hath become polluted, and the malak shall not come. And if the malak should come, then see that thou not be deceived, asking to embrace the malak, even as thou would a brother that hath returned home; And if the malak sayeth yea, then he be a deceiver and is not of YHVH and shall pass through thee, for this is the iyrin that fell in disgrace; And if the malak sayeth nay, then ask thy question; and when thou hath asked thy questions, pour out the vial and prostrate thyself upon the earth and praise YHVH that the malak should not take thee. ¶ And should thou need to cross the waters on dry ground, or to tap the rock that water should spring fourth, then make thee an amulet, and upon it write: Chereb; And around Chereb thou shall write: YHVH, may this chereb do Thy services, and may the Lord of it approach! Then shall thou place thy rod that hath been blessed, or thy cloak that hath been blessed, and hold it over the water, and whatever thou shall command, so shall it do. ¶ And to keep evil from thy home, take thee a bowl and write upon it the script, and place in by thy door and keep you clean water in it, and YHVH shall preserve thee from evil. Chapter 35 The Law of Consecration When man or woman shall consecrate themselves by a vow, even the vow of a Nazarite, to devote themselves unto YHVH, They shall be brought before the Priestess that she may read what Ha’Elohim hath written upon the night sky, that they should know the time of their dedication; And the days of their dedication shall not be less than that of thirty, nor shall they be more than thirty in years. And on the day of their consecration they shall bring two turtles or two young pigeons to the Priest, to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; And the Priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for an offering and make an atonement for them, and they shall consecrate unto YHVH the days of their Naziriteship. ¶ And during their time of consecration, they shall drink no vinegar made of wine nor vinegar of strong drink; neither shall they drink any juice of the grapes nor eat grapes at all, be they moist or dried; Yea, all the days of their consecration shall they eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. ¶ All the days of their vow of consecration there shall no razor come upon their head; Until the days be fulfilled in the which they consecrateth themselves unto YHVH, they shall be holy and shall let the locks of the hair of their head grow. ¶ All the days that they consecrateth themselves unto YHVH, they shall avoid the presence of the dead; And they shall not make themselves unclean for their fathers, or for their mothers, for their brothers, or for their sisters when they should die, because they wear the qadash of their Elohim upon their heads. And all the days of their consecration, they are holy unto me, YHVH. And if anyone is to die very suddenly by them, and they hath defiled the head of their consecration, then they shall wash their bodies and their clothes in the day of their cleansing; on the seventh day shall they wash. And any Nazarite that sins by the dead shall hallow themselves in that same day, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering; And they shall return again unto the Priestess to know their time, and unto the Priest to renew their vows, for all the days that were before have surely been lost because their consecration was defiled. ¶ And this is the Torah of the Nazarite: when the days of their consecration are fulfilled, they shall be brought unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; And they shall offer their offering unto me: one he lamb of the first year without blemish for an offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace offering, And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour, mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread, anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offering. And the Priest shall bring them before YHVH and shall offer their sin offering and their other offerings; And they shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offering unto me, YHVH, with the basket of unleavened bread; the Priest shall offer also their meat offering and their drink offering. ¶ And the Nazarite shall shave the head of their qadash at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of their consecration, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering. And the Priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite after the hair of their consecration is cut; And the Priest shall present them for an offering before YHVH; this is holy for the Priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder; and after that, the Nazarite may drink wine. And after this, they shall go to the Priestess, that she should read to them the fulfillment of their consecration, that their vow be fulfilled and that they know again their mitzvah. This is the Torah of the Nazarite who hath vowed and of their offering unto YHVH for their consecration, besides that that their hand shall get; according to the vow which they vowed, so they must do after the Torah of their consecration. So mote it be, Amen! Chapter 36 The Chereb of Righteousness And YHVH spoke again unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Ye shall make this known to men and women who are righteous and pure and faithful, whose hearts are united, and in whose mouth is no deceit; They who lie not with their tongues, and who deceive not with their lips, who grasp not with their hands and are not lustful with their eyes; They who depart from uncleanliness, from defilement, keeping themselves holy, and doing all that I, YHVH, their Elohim, should instruct them. And tell them that they are not to defile themselves with the dead, nor are they to sleep on the places of the dead, that they not be defiled by sleeping spirits. ¶ And Moses spoke unto Zipporah, his wife, saying: Who shall we find that possesses all these that I should go to them? And Moses asked in his heart, and thought that there could be no man or woman who would do all this that YHVH had asked; and this weighed heavy upon him. And Zipporah spoke unto Moses, saying: YHVH hath called thee to be His mighty right arm, and did give of us His glory and His crown, with an oath: O thou, mighty right arm of YHVH, he who hath been set apart to petition Ha’Elohim for this people, Israel; YHVH strengthened me and sent me as an helpmate to serve thee; And YHVH receiveth my prayers and my supplications, and He honoreth my songs and my libations do I poureth out unto Him, and my libations He doth receive; blessed be YHVH! For He rememberth my deeds before Him and has made to forgive my sins on account of my words of supplication, and through thy supplication He hath made to forgive Israel of her supplication; Therefore, why now would His servants sanctify Him not, and praise Him not? But they shall bring with them a sweet melody, and say: Holy, holy, holy is YHVH; the whole earth is full of His glory! Therefore, refuse Him not, but surely YHVH, the Lord of the Sabbath, shall provide thee with those that are Holy. ¶ And then, speaking unto YHVH, Zipporah said: Blessed art thou, O YHVH, El Elyon, who knowest all! And then the Voice came unto Moses and Zipporah again, saying: If thou wishest to use the chereb, to call upon me, and rest upon my strength, and stand in my Presence, then write the Word that I shall give thee, And carry about with thee during the three days of fasting and purification, and fast even as I have shown thee, and pray even as I have told thee. Command the generations which will come after thee that at the beginning of their days, they shall pray, saying: Hear, O Israel, YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is United! And this that my people should go about the day being one with me, and with my creation. And at the end of their days they shall pray, saying: Blessed art Thou, YHVH; Thou hath hearkened unto my prayer; blessed art Thou, giver of the endowment, who hearkenest unto my prayer. And thou are not to touch this chereb until after thou hath done all these things; afterwards thou shall be able to do all that is required of thee, everything being written here following in its proper order; Even so, Amen. Chapter 37 The Testimony of Zipporah Chapters 37 - 42 collectively are The Wisdom of Zipporah -or- The Teachings of Zipporah And it came to pass that I walked with Moses upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, and there we heard the words of the Angel of YHVH that came unto us, saying: Your crowns have been prepared; therefore, give unto YHVH your trust, for ye hath gained His patience. And Moses, in his humility, said: Lord, why should thou take us? who are we to make supplication with Ha’Elohim for thy son and thy daughter, Adam? And the angel of YHVH said: Make not any of thy supplication with me, but the will of Ha’Elohim shall be done. And Moses said: We will not cease to plead with YHVH, our Elohim. And the Voice said: Your crowns have been prepared you; therefore come forth that ye mayst obtain them. Then Moses said: O YHVH, O Elohim Shaddai ! O YHVH who birthed the Creation! Listen to me, we have pleaded much for thy children, Israel; And we will bring them thy Torah, that they should remember HaShem, that thou might give them a blessing from the heavens; For thou didst bless Joseph; and by Joseph his father, Jacob; and his brothers, and their wives, and their children; yea and even did YHVH save all of Israel from famine. And the Voice came unto us, saying: Moses, my beloved, all things whatever thou should ask shall I give to my Israel. ¶ And it came to pass that we were brought before YHVH, and we were given the Torah, that all of Israel might covenant to be one. And so it was that we were given the Torah of YHVH that Israel should be the covenant people, and be one with her Elohim. ¶ And it came to pass that when we came down from the Mount and saw Israel, the very children of YHVH that we had pleaded for, and on behalf of, prostrate in adultery, Moses became enraged, and he threw down the tablets in disgust. But YHVH, in His mercy, called us back, and we pleaded once more on behalf of Israel, and YHVH granted our petition; And YHVH spoke unto us saying: Teach my Israel my Torah, that they be my covenant people; But because they be a stiffnecked people, it shall be that when they shall keep my mitzvath, they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, And there shall be none to molest them nor to take away from them the land of their inheritance; and they shall be a blessed people upon the promised land forever. And nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them, shall harm or disturb their prosperity upon the face of this land forever. But if iniquity shall abound, cursed shall be the land for their sakes; but unto the righteous, it shall be blessed forever; So mote it be, Amen. Chapter 38 Tu Kesheh And it came to pass that Zipporah and Miriam taught the daughters of Israel saying: The Sabbaths are known by the stars in the heavens, and by the moons; and these tell us the seasons and the secrets of Ha’Elohim; For YHVH has appointed the moon for seasons; and YHVH telleth the sun when to rise and when to set. And the Sons of Aaron shall be bound by the tabernacles and chained to the altars, and the Daughters of Miriam shall read words written upon the night skies; And in the day of our gladness, and in our solemn days, and in the beginnings of our months— at the new moons, the Priests shall blow the shofar, and give the offerings and the sacrifices of our peace offerings, And this they do for a memorial before our Elohim; YHVH, our Elohim; the Priests, they do cry out with their shofars, as Yod searching for Hei. And at the full moons the Priestess sing and dance in celebration of the return of the Shekinah to Her place, and the Presence of Elohim in the congregation of Israel; Therefore, it is the duty of the Priestess to watch the moon and the stars, and to tell the signs and the seasons. ¶ And YHVH did create both the day and the night, even as he created Adam, male and female; and the shemesh for the male, and the lebanah for the female. And on the first of the month, not one daughter in Israel shall do any spinning, nor weaving, nor sewing; for this shall be a Sabbath for you. And at the new moons, and at the full moons the High Priestess shall pour out her libations as a sacrifice unto YHVH; And in this the Presence of Elohim shall be remembered, and the congregation shall witness the Breath of Elohim. ¶ And so it is that in the evening we raise our arms to YHVH and Ha’Elohim in the heavens and we pray: Hear O Israel! YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is United. And this we do, because we are united even as the stars in the night sky. And we stand and we bow our faces in reverence in the morning, even as the sun rises, and we pray: Hear O Israel! YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is One. And this we do because YHVH is the Light, and in Him there is no darkness; Even as Israel walked out of Egypt as one, it is the will of Ha’Elohim that Israel always be one; for in the unity of Israel is great power in YHVH; and the fear of YHVH will be known by His Israel. ¶ And the unity of YHVH and His Israel is even as the bridegroom and the bride, And should Israel love YHVH, even as a wife should love her husband and commit no adultery, then shall YHVH be faithful unto His Israel forever and ever; And should Israel be unfaithful, then she shall be offered teshuvah, that she might return unto the covenant, and retain all her promises once more. Even so, Amen. Chapter 39 The Reading of the Heavens And the High Priestess is to teach the Priestess the readings of the firmament, and the expanse of the heavens; And within the firmament there are twelve rows and seven thrones, and the thrones are prepared there; And upon the thrones are seated the seven malakim of the seven dispensations, and around them on all sides of the encampments are in the expanse of the heavens. And stationed there are those obedient to YHVH, our Elohim, and to all those who stand and pour their libations to YHVH; When a prayer is heard, the encampment in the expanse of the heavens and the seven malakim hear, and they listen for YHVH to dispatch them to bless all those in the service of El Elyon. ¶ These are the names of the seven malakim who sit upon the seven thrones: The first is Michael, and the second is Zaphkiel, and the third is Gabriel, and the fourth is Raphael, and the fifth is Haniel , and the sixth is Zadkiel , and the seventh is Ariel. And in all of them is the testimony of YHVH, created from fire; and their appearance is like flames, and their fire is blazing, for from the fire of YHVH did they emerge: And these and their servants never waver from their testimony of YHVH, nor do they doubt in their supplication in the works they are given of YHVH; For they are obedient to the will of YHVH and go about only with the permission of Ha’Elohim; for it is the works of YHVH that they do. ¶ And every one of them goes to do the work they have been given, to fulfill their duties quickly wherever they might be sent; Whether to act for good or for evil in the eyes of Adam; whether for war or for peace, from the time of the creation unto the end of the creation. These are the angels who are obedient unto YHVH in all their doing. ¶ And the first firmament is called the Shamayim of Erets and holds the seven thrones. And the second firmament is called the Shamayim of Shamayim and is the heaven of abstinence, and holds the twelve steps. And the third firmament is called the Shamayim of Otsaw and holds the three stones and is a pearl of fire. And the fourth firmament is called the Shamayim of Be’ammud Aysh and holds thirty-one windows and at the center holds the sun of which the earth orbits. And the fifth firmament is called the Shamayim of Gaboah and separates the heavens and the earth, holding the twelve malakim that are the stars that shall judge the sons and daughters of mankind. And the sixth firmament is called the Shamayim of Tzaddiq and holds the flame that rules over the twelve malakim. And the seventh firmament is called the Shamayim of Or and holds light, and all of the glory of YHVH; and this is the light that separates the darkness, and this is the highest of the Heavens. Chapter 40 Libations: the Drink Offering And say unto the Priestesses, the daughters of Miriam: In the Holy Place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto YHVH for a drink offering. Ye shall offer at the evening; yea, the Priests shall prepare the meat offering in the morning and the Priestess the drink offering thereof in the evening; The Priestess shall offer it, and it shall be a sweet savor unto YHVH. And on the Sabbath day, the drink offering shall be given beside the continual burnt offering. ¶ And in the beginnings of your months when the Sons of Aaron shall offer a meat offering unto YHVH of a sweet savor, as a sacrifice made by fire unto YHVH, the Priestess shall offer up the drink offerings; Half for a bullock, and the third part for a ram, and a fourth part for a lamb; and this ye shall do as an offering of every month throughout the months of the year. And in the fifteenth day of each month is the full moon; and in the first month, for seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. But for the full moon of each month after the first month, the Presence of God shall be remembered, and strong drink shall be poured out in your groves. ¶ And in thy homes, at Tu Kesheh, should thy husband desire to lie with thee, that ye should be one, keep the strength of thy passions, that it might be used to destroy familiar spirits, and to stop thy adversaries, and to free one from mortal burdens, to pass through water upon dry ground, or any other thing: Write on a red bowl thy desires and fill it with water and myrrh and let it stand for three days, And on the third day that after thou hast lain with thy husband, when thou riseth, wash thy hands and say the prayer of thy desire; so mote it be, Amen. Then shalt thou pour out thy libation upon the ground, and YHVH that doth hear thy prayers shall grant thee thy petition; But should the water sour, or should it be drunk at all during this time, behold thy petition shall neither be heard nor remembered by YHVH, for it is in vain. Chapter 41 The Torah of the Apothecary Take thee the stones of the earth, and the herbs of the earth, and of the deep; and bless them, and sanctify them, and use them for the purpose of their creation, and in the name of YHVH, giving the glory of it to YHVH, thy Elohim. ¶ Odem is a builder; she is given for a help for women in menstruation, and to aid for the prevention of miscarriage, and for awakening the heart, and for awakening other stones that sleepeth. And of pit’dah, she shall gift thee with protection from the evil eye; blessings and focus are given of her; she might calm the passions of the body, and men shall be strengthened in the groin. And of bareket, she is of healing and of peace; the seer shall use her to see; for the sharpening of the eyes, and greater wisdom for the wise she shall be. And nofekh is a protection; she shall grant thee bravery in battle, and protection from priestcrafts; and the hope of YHVH shall be with her; yet if her color doth change, betrayal. And sappir is the healer and a gazelem, and thus is the Torah written upon her by the finger of YHVH; she is one of love, and loyalty, and wisdom; may she grant thee understanding of the Torah. And of yahalom, she is a strength and shall give they who sleep peace, keeping Lilith at bay; she shall be as a shield for thee, bringing to pass understanding of the divine will of El Elyon, and shall keep thy secrets. And of leshem, she is grounded in wisdom and shall awaken the truth; she is a protector and lover of justice and patience. Shebo shall plant for thee a firm foundation, and is a healer and will cleans thy heart and body; she shall remind thee of hidden truths; she can hide her friends from their enemies. Achlamah is a gazelem, she is a bridge between the earth and the heavens; may she bring valor, protection, and healing, guiding thee with the Breath of Elohim. And tarshish is a teacher; she is a gift to the seer, a help for digestion, and bringer of peace to thy heart. Shoham is a seer, maketh thee a gazelem, which is a seer stone, from her and thy eyes shall be opened. And Yashepheh, she shall move thee forward, empower thee, and protect thee from Lilith; she is full of passion and vigor, and shall grow dark to warn thee of evil. And of gabish, she is a friend; she will take upon her the pains of thy heart and remember them no more, giving thee strength. And of shamir, she is a warrior, and men shall use her that lust for blood; but I say unto thee: She is the keeper of the waters of life for Israel, and her spark shall bring thee fire, for she never rests for to serve mankind. Kadkod is a mother, she will bring malakim to speak in thy sleep; she will awaken thee as an arrow and longs for your swiftness. Peninim is a peacemaker, she is incite, and patience, and mercy; may she temper thy wrath and walk thee away from conflict. Israel is the dar of YHVH; therefore, she is wisdom and understanding granted through thy charity; she is innocence gained by thy faith in YHVH; she is the love of YHVH, thy Elohim, for His Israel. And of malach, she is a purification for thee, and for a cleansing of thee, and shall make that which is bitter sweet, and that which is sweet bitter. ¶ And take thou some shecheleth and burn her upon your altars that her sweet scent might bring healing. And of ahalim, take of her blood to use for healing; yea, in Egypt they use her for the dead, but I say unto thee, she is health for the living. And of pesheth, she shall wrap thee, and keep thee warm; wrap thy wounds with her, and put the blood of her sister, ahalim upon bruises and burns that she might heal them; and when she is pressed, she shall give thee oil for the bowels. Take thou some lebonah, and burn her upon thy altars, the burning of her tears shall give thee visions when burned with qiddah; and should the body grow warm from the inside out, give of the tears of it unto them that they might be healed. And of mor, Aaron shall use her for anointing oils; and she shall be for thee also for anointing oils and for the cleaning of the mouth and the skin. And of qinnamon, she is more valuable than gold; her oil is for anointing, and for her sweet smell; yea, and she is a healer. Take thee qetsach, place her in thy food for flavor, and these thou shall eat in thy old age, for they are a healer. And of maror, she shall be used for food, and to ease the belly, and to remember the pains for Israel in Egypt; and should a person be taken by a spirit, make them to eat of her and thou shall see the spirit move the water in the cup as it should leave them. Keep tsori safe, for her oil is like gold; and her fragrance the most beautiful, capturing the hearts of men; and in her healing the most strength; therefore, in that day the righteous will bathe in rivers of tsori. And of qiddah, she is for peace, and for visions; she shall bring trouble for the youth but healing for the old among you. And of shuwm, she shall make the body warm, that ye may be fruitful and multiply upon the earth; and she shall grant great love unto they they eat of it, that their jealousy should be removed from them; keep her close by, for she shall guard thee against familiar spirits that come unto thee in distress. Dardar shall come unto thy aid should thou drinketh too much wine; and she shall fight against the poisons. Keep thee karkom, for she shall be a help for thee in the belly for healing; and for a spice. And of ezob, Aaron shall use her for the blood of the sacrifice; but thou mayest use her for the healing of thy heart. And Nataph, she is the tears of the balsam tree, and her sweetness shall be used in the incense, and for perfumes, and for her sweet sent. And of chelbenah, she is a healer; she may be used for the benefit of the stomach and the bowels. Make thee a rod of qaneh and put the makings upon it to make the miracle, and it shall not fail to protect thee. And this is the wisdom of the apothecary; keep it with thee and teach it unto the generations, for all times and all times; forever and ever, for all time. Chapter 42 Calling upon the Heavens And if thou should desire to call upon YHVH that the Malokim and the stars should share with thee their secrets, Yea, if thou desireth to speak with the moon or with the stars, take thee a cock for to slaughter and roast him over a fire with fine oils; And take thee fine flour, and knead the flour with the living waters and make thee three cakes; And place these upon an altar of wood with a cup of wine made from grapes, facing the moon and the stars on a clear night, and call upon YHVH, saying: YHVH, pour out upon me thy wisdom, that I should know thy will in these things; So mote it be, Amen. Then shalt thou and any that are with thee eat and drink thereof; and when thou hath eaten thy full, and any that be with thee also, thou shall pour out thy libations upon the altar, and gaze up with the eyes of the seer, and thou shall know. And should the answers that thou seeketh not appear, thou shalt come to see on seventh nights, and ninth night, and twelfth night; But if thou seeth not upon the twelfth night, then Ha’Elohim hath no words for thee written upon the stars at that time; And thou shall wait until the feast of the next full moon, and if the Breath of Elohim should come upon thee, then thou shall see, as doeth the seer, and thou shall prophecy rightly. And if thou should not see, and thou should not prophecy, then the will of YHVH is not in this thing. ¶ And should one of thy people dream a dream, and should desire the interpretation of that dream, let them come unto the Priestess. And thou shall give unto them the words of Ha’Elohim from thy wisdom, saying: I will make known to you what is in thy heart; And should thou need time to seek the Breath of Elohim, give them three days and tell them to return unto thee to make known to them that which is in their heart. Then thou shall fast from the eating of animal yea, and anything which yields blood, and the wine of the grape, be it young or old; Then shall thou go out to the shore, with the water being Eastward of thee, and being fully covered in thy raiment, and take thee myrrh and frankincense and place them on coals in an earthen vessel; Turning thy face toward the water, pray unto YHVH until thine eyes are open and thou seest the pillar of fire between the heavens and the earth, and then shall the vision be opened up unto thee, or thou shall read the answers in the stars. And if by the third day the vision hath not come, then the dream was but a thing, and a matter to be taken lightly, and YHVH, thy Elohim hath not spoken unto them. Amen. Chapter 43 The Judgments of the Clean and the Unclean Chapters 43 - 50 collectively are The Law of Moses -or- The Judgments of Moses And it came to pass that Moses passed judgment on Israel saying: These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat; Nevertheless, ye shall not eat the camel because he is a servant unto thee, and bears thy burdens; thus ye shall not eat of it; And the swine, is unclean to you, for in his meat is sickness and death; therefore of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And ye shall not eat the eagle, nor the peres, nor the rachamah, nor the vulture, nor the daah after his kind, nor raven after his kind, nor the owl; Not the nighthawk, nor the cuckoo, nor the hawk after his kind, nor the little owl, nor the cormorant and the great owl, nor the stork, nor the heron after her kind, and the dukiphath, nor the bat ye shall not eat: And these ye shall not eat, for these are scavengers or eat that which would plague thee, thus ye shall keep them alive. ¶ And these may ye eat of: Every flying, creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; Even these of them ye may eat: The locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. ¶ And if ye should eat of that which is unclean, ye shall be unclean and shall quarantine for thirty days; but whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening, but shall cover the mouth that Israel may know they are unclean; And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening. ¶ The carcasses of every beast ye shall deplore; and they that beareth the carcass of the beast shall wash their clothes and be unclean for three days, until the even; they are unclean unto you. ¶ And upon whatsoever anything doth fall when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, or earthen vessel; whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done; And the vessel must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed. All meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. And everything whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether it be an oven or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down; for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you. Nevertheless, a fountain or pit wherein there is plenty of flowing water shall be clean; but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean. ¶ And if any part of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. But if any water be put upon the seed and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. And if any beast of which ye may eat die, they that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the evening. ¶ And this shall be the Torah of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth— To keep the unclean from the clean, that Israel should avoid the plagues of Ha’Elohim. Chapter 44 The Judgments on Servants, Masters and Marriages And it came to pass that Moses passed judgment on Israel saying: If thou buy a Hebrew servant (for Israel shall have no slaves, YHVH hath not freed us to put our kin into bondage), six years they shall serve; and in the seventh they shall go out free for nothing. And if they came in by themselves, then they shall go out by themselves; if they be married, then the spouse of them shall go out with them. If the lord hath given them a spouse, and these have borne sons or daughters, then they and all their children shall go out together. And if the servant shall say plainly: I love my master; my spouse and our children, we shall not go out free, then the master shall bring them unto the judges; And the judges shall set their wages, that they be fair and generous; and they shall serve their lord for so long as their wages be met. ¶ And if a man should sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do, that she not be forced to prostitute herself. If she please not her master, who hath promised to keep her to himself, then shall he let her be given to another: But ye shall not sell her into a strange nation; no one shall have no power to do this, seeing they hath dealt deceitfully with her, that she not be cast out of the Covenant. And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. And if a man should take her unto himself to wife, and he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish. And if she refuseth these three unto her, then shall she go out free with a dowry. ¶ If a man entice a young woman that is not betrothed and lie with her, but doth not force himself upon her, then he shall surely endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuseth to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. ¶ If a man takest a wife, thou shalt take such a one as thou lovest, and who loveth thee, and whom thou mayest lawfully marry and thou shalt go before the High Priest, or the Chief Elder where thou dwellest, or the Priest; And by him shall ye be joined in marriage, that these may be one in life, and in life everlasting; and that the fruit of thy loins might be with thee everlasting; and ye shall be united; and ye shall give one another thy honor. ¶ If the wife of any man should go aside and commit a trespass against him, and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witnesses against her, neither she be taken with the manner, And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be with child, or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not with child, Then shall the man bring his wife unto the Priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a part of barley meal; and the Priest shall pour no oil upon it nor put frankincense thereon, for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. And the Priest shall bring her unto the Priestess and set the wife before YHVH; And the Priestess shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the Priestess shall take and put it into the water; And the Priestess shall set the wife before YHVH, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and the Priestess shall have in her hand the bitter water that causeth the curse. And the Priestess shall charge her by an oath and say unto the wife: If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse; But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband, YHVH make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when YHVH doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell and thy thigh to rot. And the wife shall say: So Mote it Be; Amen. And the Priestess shall write these curses in a book, and she shall blot them out with the bitter water; And she shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. Then the Priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before YHVH, and offer it upon the altar; And the Priestess shall take a handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. And when the Priestess hath made the wife to drink the water, then it shall come to pass that if she be defiled and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot; and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the wife be not defiled but be clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive seed. And if another man has lain with her, then that man shall be found dead in his bed the next morning; and this shall be a sign unto you of his sin. This is the Torah of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband and is defiled, Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife and shall set the woman before YHVH, and the Priestess of Miriam shall execute upon her all this law. And if the curse should not be found in the wife, and she be innocent, then the husband shall be guilty; And he shall offer up a sacrifice a sin offering unto YHVH by way of the Priest, and he shall ask his wife for forgiveness for his trespass against her. Chapter 45 The Judgments on Death, Murder, and Other Mischief Thou shalt not suffer a murderer to live: They that smiteth a man or a woman, so that they die shall be surely put to death. And if one lie not in wait, but Ha’Elohim deliver them into their hand (or if it was an accident), then the Judge will appoint thee a place whither they shall flee. But if a man or a woman comes presumptuously upon their neighbor to slay them with guile, thou shalt take them away from mine altar, that they may die. ¶ And a man or a woman that smiteth their father or their mother shall be surely put to death. And a man or a woman that brings an evil curse upon their father or their mother, that they be taken early shall surely be put to death. ¶ If a man or a woman should strive and hurt a woman with child so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow, they shall be surely punished, according as the husband of the woman will lay upon them; and they shall pay as the judges determine. But if any mischief follow, and the woman should die, then ye shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. ¶ And a man or a woman that stealeth another and selleth them into slavery, or if they be found in their hand, they shall surely be put to death. ¶ And if any should strive together and one smite another with a stone or with their fists and they die not, but keepeth their bed, If they rise again and walk abroad upon their staff, then shall they that smote them be quit; only they shall pay for the loss of their time and shall cause them to be thoroughly healed. ¶ And if a man or a woman should smite their servant or their maid with a rod and they die under their hand, they shall surely be put to death. Notwithstanding, if they continue a day or two and recover, they shall not be put to death, for they are the servant, but their wages shall be paid as though they were fit in their duties. And if a man or a woman smite the eye of their servant or the eye of their maid, that it perish, they shall let them go free with their wages for the sake of the eye. And if a man or a woman smite out their servant's tooth, they shall let them go free with their wages for the tooth's sake. ¶ If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall not be accountable. But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to the owner of it, and they hath not kept the ox in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and the owner also shall be put to death. If there be laid on the owner of the ox a sum of money, then they shall give for the ransom of their life whatsoever is laid upon them. Whether the ox gored a son or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done. ¶ And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein, then the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be theirs. And if an ox hurt another ox, that he die, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide; Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. ¶ If a man or a woman shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it, they shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. If fire should break out and catch in thorns so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed therewith, they that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. Chapter 46 The Judgments on Theft If a thief be found breaking in and be smitten that they die, there shall no blood be shed for them. If the sun be risen upon them, there shall be blood shed for them, for they should make full restitution; if they have nothing, then they shall be sold for their theft: If the theft be certainly found in their hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, they shall restore double. ¶ If a man or a woman shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in their beast, and shall feed in the field of another, of the best of their own field and of the best of their own vineyard shall they make restitution. ¶ If a man or a woman shall deliver unto their neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the house of them, if the thief be found, let the thief pay double. If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether they have put their hand unto the goods of their neighbor. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be theirs, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, they shall pay double unto their neighbor. ¶ If a man or a woman deliver unto their neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or be driven away, no man seeing it, Then shall an oath of YHVH be between them both, that they hath not put their hand unto the good of their neighbor; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and they shall not make it good. And if it be stolen from them, they shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. If it be torn in pieces, then let them bring it for witness; and they shall not make good that which was torn. ¶ And if a man or a woman should borrow anything of their neighbor, and it be hurt or die, the owner thereof being not with it, they shall surely make it good. But if the owner thereof be with it, they shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire. ¶ When a man or woman shall commit any sin that they might commit, thy trespass against YHVH, and that person be guilty, Then shall they confess their sin which they have done; and they shall recompense their trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto them against whom they hath trespassed. But if they who were trespassed against have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto YHVH, even to the Priestess their recompense, to place it beside the ram of the atonement made by the Priest, whereby an atonement shall be made for them. And every offering of all the holy things of Israel which they bring unto the Priestess shall be hers; And every hallowed thing whatsoever anyone giveth the Priestess, it shall be hers. Chapter 47 The Judgment of the Plague of Tzara’at If anyone should have in the skin of their flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of their flesh like the plague of tzara’at, then they shall be brought unto the Priest or the Priestess; When the plague is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the Priest; and when the plague is in a woman, then she shall be brought unto the Priestess; And the Priest or Priestess shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh; and when the hair in the plague is turned white and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of their flesh, it is a plague of tzara’at; and the Priest or Priestess shall look on them and pronounce them unclean. If the bright spot be white in the skin of their flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up in quarantine thy that hath the plague seven days; And the Priest or Priestess shall look on them the seventh day; and behold, if the plague in their sight be at a stay and the plague hath spread not in the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up seven days more; And the Priest or Priestess shall look on them again the seventh day; and behold, if the plague be somewhat dark and the plague spread not in the skin, the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean; it is but a rash or a scab or a boil; and they shall wash their clothes and be clean. But if the rash spread much abroad in the skin after they hath been seen of the Priest or Priestess for their cleansing, they shall be seen of the Priest or Priestess again; And if the Priest or Priestess see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them unclean; it is tzara’at. When the plague of tzara’at is in someone, then they shall be brought unto the High Priest or High Priestess; And the High Priest or High Priestess shall see them; and behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick, raw flesh in the rising, it is a chronic disease in the skin of their flesh; And the High Priest or High Priestess shall pronounce them unclean and shall not shut them up; for they are unclean. ¶ And if a tzara’at break out abroad in the skin and the tzara’at cover all the skin of they that hath the plague, from their head even to their foot, wheresoever the High Priest or High Priestess looketh, Then the High Priest or High Priestess shall consider; and behold, if the tzara’at have covered all their flesh, they shall pronounce them clean that hath the plague; it is all turned white; they are clean. But when raw flesh appeareth in them, they shall be unclean: And the Priest or Priestess shall see the raw flesh and pronounce them to be unclean; for the raw flesh is unclean; it is tzara’at. Or if the raw flesh turn again and be changed unto white, they shall come unto the Priest or Priestess; And the Priest or Priestess shall see them; and behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean that hath the plague; they are clean. The flesh also in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil and is healed, and in the place of the boil there be a white rising or a bright spot, white and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the Priest or Priestess, And if, when the Priest or Priestess seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin and the hair thereof be turned white, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a plague of tzara’at broken out of the boil. But if the Priest or Priestess look on it and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up seven days; And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them unclean; it is a plague. ¶ If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard, then the Priest or Priestess shall see the plague; And behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin and there be in it a yellow thin hair, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them unclean; it is an outbreak, even tzara’at upon the head or beard. And if the Priest or Priestess look on the plague and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up that hath the plague seven days; And in the seventh day the Priest or Priestess shall look on the plague; and behold, if the outbreak spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the outbreak be not in sight deeper than the skin, they shall be shaven; But the outbreak shall they not shave; and the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up that hath the outbreak seven days more. And in the seventh day the Priest or Priestess shall look on the outbreak; And behold, if the outbreak be not spread in the skin nor be in sight deeper than the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean; and they shall wash their clothes and be clean. But if the outbreak spread much in the skin after their cleansing, then the Priest or Priestess shall look on them; And behold, if the outbreak be spread in the skin, the Priest or Priestess shall not seek for yellow hair; they are unclean. But if the outbreak be in their sight at a stay and that there is black hair grown up therein, the outbreak is healed; they are clean, and the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean. ¶ If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots, then the Priest and Priestess shall look; And behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white, it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; they are clean. ¶ And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet he is clean. And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald; yet he is clean. And if there be in the bald head or bald forehead a white reddish sore, it is a tzara’at sprung up in his bald head or his bald forehead. Then the Priest shall look upon it; and behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head or in his bald forehead, as the tzara’at appeareth in the skin of the flesh, he or she is unclean; the Priest shall pronounce them utterly unclean; their plague is in their head. ¶ And the tzara’at in whom the plague is, their clothes shall be rent, and their head bare, and they shall put a covering upon their mouth, and shall cry: Unclean, unclean. All the days wherein the plague shall be in them they shall be defiled; they are unclean; they shall dwell alone; without the camp shall their habitation be. ¶ The garment also that the plague of tzara’at is in, whether it be a woolen garment or a linen garment, whether it be in the warp or woof, of linen or of woolen, whether in a skin or in anything made of skin, And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a plague of tzara’at and shall be showed unto the Priest or the Priestess. And the Priest or Priestess shall look upon the plague and shut up it that hath the plague seven days; And they shall look on the plague on the seventh day; if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin, the plague is a fretting tzara’at; it is unclean. They shall, therefore, burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen or in linen, or anything of skin wherein the plague is; for it is a fretting tzara’at; it shall be burnt in the fire. And if the Priest or Priestess shall look and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and they shall be shut up seven days more; And the Priest or Priestess shall look on the plague after that it is washed; and behold, if the plague has not changed its color and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without. And if the Priest or Priestess look and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it, then they shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof; And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a spreading plague; thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time and shall be clean. ¶ This is the Torah of the plague of tzara’at in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean. These are the instructions and the judgments which YHVH commanded, by the hand of Moses, unto Israel. Chapter 48 The Restoration of the Tzara’at This shall be the Torah of tzara’at in the day of their cleansing: The men shall be brought unto the Priest, and the women unto the Priestess; And the Priest or the Priestess shall go forth out of the camp; and the Priest or Priestess shall look, and behold, if the plague of tzara’at be healed in them, then shall the Priest or Priestess command them to take two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop; And the Priest or Priestess shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. As for the living bird, they shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; And they shall sprinkle upon them that are to be cleansed from tzara’at seven times, and shall pronounce them clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. And they that are to be cleansed shall wash their clothes, and shave off all their hair, and wash themselves in water, that they may be clean; And after that, they shall come into the camp and shall tarry abroad out of their tent in quarantine for seven days. ¶ And it shall come to pass that on the seventh day, that they shall shave all their hair off their head, and their beard (if it be a man), and their eyebrows, even all their hair they shall shave off; And they shall wash their clothes; also they shall wash their flesh in water, and they shall be clean. ¶ And on the eighth day they shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three parts of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil; And the Priest shall present them that is to be made clean and those things before YHVH at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And the Priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before YHVH; And the Priest shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the Holy Place; for as the sin offering is most holy; And the Priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the Priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of them that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot. And the Priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; And the Priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before YHVH; And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the Priest put upon the tip of the right ear of they that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering; And the remnant of the oil that is in the hand of the Priest, he shall pour upon the head of they that are to be cleansed; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them before YHVH. And the Priest shall offer the sin offering and make an atonement for them that are to be cleansed from their uncleanness; and afterwards he shall kill the burnt offering; And the Priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and they shall be clean. ¶ And if they be poor and cannot get so much, then they shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for them, and one tenth part of fine flour, mingled with oil, for a meat offering, and a log of oil; And two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as they are able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering and the other an offering. And they shall bring them on the eighth day for their cleansing unto the Priest, unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before YHVH. And the Priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the Priest shall wave them for a wave offering before YHVH; And the Priest shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering; And the Priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it upon the tip of the right ear of they that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot. And the Priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; And the Priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before YHVH; And the Priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of they that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering; And the rest of the oil that is in the hand of the Priest, he shall put upon the head of they that are to be cleansed, to make an atonement for them before YHVH. And the Priest shall offer the one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, such as they can get, Even such as they are able to get: one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering; And the Priest shall make an atonement for all that are to be cleansed before YHVH. ¶ This is the Torah of they in whom is the plague of tzara’at, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to their cleansing. Chapter 49 The Restoration of the Unclean When one hath a running issue out of their flesh, because of any issue, they are unclean. And this shall be their uncleanness in their issue: Whether their flesh run with their issue or their flesh be stopped from their issue, it is their uncleanliness. Every bed whereon they lieth that hath the issue is unclean; and everything whereon they sitteth shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth their bed shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And they that sitteth on anything whereon they sat that hath the issue shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And they that toucheth the flesh of them that hath the issue shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And if they that hath the issue spit upon them that are clean, then they shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And what saddle soever they rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth anything that was under them shall be unclean until the evening; And they that beareth any of those things shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And whomsoever they do toucheth that hath the issue and hath not rinsed their hands in water, they shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And the vessel of earth that they toucheth which hath the issue shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. And when they that hath an issue is cleansed of their issue, then they shall number to themselves seven days for their cleansing, and wash their clothes, and bathe their flesh in running water, and shall be clean. And on the eighth day they shall take to them two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before YHVH unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and give them unto the Priest; And the Priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering and the other for an offering; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them before YHVH for their issue. Thus shall ye separate Israel from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness should they defile the Tabernacle that is among them. This is the Torah of they with a running issue, that ye be clean and avoid the plagues of the Egyptians. Chapter 50 The Restoration of Adam and Eve And if the seed of a man shall go out of him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. And every garment and every skin whereon is the seed of copulation shall be washed with water and be unclean until the even. The woman also with whom man shall lie with the seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening. ¶ And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the evening. And everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean; everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean for the blood of it. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And whosoever toucheth anything that she sat upon shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. And if it be on her bed or on anything whereon she sitteth, when they toucheth it, they shall be unclean until the evening. ¶ And if any man lie with her at all and her menstrual flow be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. ¶ And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanliness shall be as the days of her separation; she shall be unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. ¶ But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles or two young pigeons and bring them unto the Priest, to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And the Priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for an offering; and the Priest shall make an atonement for her before YHVH for the issue of her uncleanness. This is the Torah of him whose seed goeth from him and is defiled therewith, and of her that is menstruating; of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
