18
The priests the Levites,
and
all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
2
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD
is
their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3
And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether
it be
ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4
The firstfruit
also
of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5
For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
6
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
7
Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites
do,
which stand there before the LORD.
8
They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10
There shall not be found among you
any one
that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination,
or
an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12
For all that do these things
are
an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so
to do.
15
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16
According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17
And the LORD said unto me, They have well
spoken that
which they have spoken.
18
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19
And it shall come to pass,
that
whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require
it
of him.
20
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that
is
the thing which the LORD hath not spoken,
but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
19
When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
2
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
3
Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
4
And this
is
the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
5
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
6
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he
was
not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
7
Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
8
And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
9
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
10
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance, and
so
blood be upon thee.
11
But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
12
Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away
the guilt of
innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
14
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
15
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16
If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him
that which is
wrong;
17
Then both the men, between whom the controversy
is,
shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold,
if
the witness
be
a false witness,
and
hath testified falsely against his brother;
19
Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
21
And thine eye shall not pity;
but
life
shall go
for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
20
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots,
and
a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God
is
with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
3
And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
4
For the LORD your God
is
he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man
is there
that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6
And what man
is he
that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not
yet
eaten of it? let him
also
go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
7
And what man
is there
that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man
is there that is
fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well as his heart.
9
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
10
When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
11
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be,
that
all the people
that is
found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
12
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
13
And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
14
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city,
even
all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
15
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities
which are
very far off from thee, which
are
not of the cities of these nations.
16
But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee
for
an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
17
But thou shalt utterly destroy them;
namely,
the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
18
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
19
When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field
is
man’s
life
) to employ
them
in the siege:
20
Only the trees which thou knowest that they
be
not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
21
If
one
be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field,
and
it be not known who hath slain him:
2
Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which
are
round about him that is slain:
3
And it shall be,
that
the city
which is
next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with,
and
which hath not drawn in the yoke;
4
And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer’s neck there in the valley:
5
And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be
tried:
6
And all the elders of that city,
that are
next unto the slain
man,
shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7
And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen
it.
8
Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel’s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
9
So shalt thou put away the
guilt of
innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do
that which is
right in the sight of the LORD.
10
When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
11
And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
15
If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children,
both
the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
16
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit
that
which he hath,
that
he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated,
which is indeed
the firstborn:
17
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated
for
the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he
is
the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn
is
his.
18
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and
that,
when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son
is
stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice;
he is
a glutton, and a drunkard.
21
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
22
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
23
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged
is
accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance.
22
Thou shalt not see the brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
2
And if thy brother
be
not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4
Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift
them
up again.
5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so
are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
6
If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground,
whether they be
young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
7
But
thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and
that
thou mayest prolong
thy
days.
8
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
9
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,
as
of woollen and linen together.
12
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest
thyself.
13
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14
And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth
the tokens of
the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16
And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech
against her,
saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these
are the tokens of
my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19
And they shall amerce him in an hundred
shekels
of silver, and give
them
unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20
But if this thing be true,
and the tokens of
virginity be not found for the damsel:
21
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
22
If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die,
both
the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23
If a damsel
that is
a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not,
being
in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
26
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing;
there is
in the damsel no sin
worthy
of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so
is
this matter:
27
For he found her in the field,
and
the betrothed damsel cried, and
there was
none to save her.
28
If a man find a damsel
that is
a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty
shekels
of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
30
A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.
23
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
2
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
3
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
4
Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5
Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
6
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
7
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he
is
thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
9
When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
10
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash
himself
with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp
again.
12
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14
For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
16
He shall dwell with thee,
even
among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these
are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
19
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
20
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
21
When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform;
even
a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24
When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put
any
in thy vessel.
25
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.
