shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute.

      ¹⁰ And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:

      ¹¹ and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

      ¹² And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah.

      ¹³ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

      ¹⁴ Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

      ¹⁵ And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

      ¹⁶ And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name [of Jehovah], shall be put to death.

      ¹⁷ And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

      ¹⁸ And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.

      ¹⁹ And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:

      ²⁰ breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.

      ²¹ And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.

      ²² Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.

      ²³ And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

      ¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

      ² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Jehovah.

      ³ Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof;

      ⁴ but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto Jehovah: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

      ⁵ That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

      ⁶ And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourn with thee.

      ⁷ And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

      ⁸ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

      ⁹ Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land.

      ¹⁰ And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

      ¹¹ A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of the undressed vines.

      ¹² For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

      ¹³ In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

      ¹⁴ And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.

      ¹⁵ According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, [and] according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

      ¹⁶ According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee.

      ¹⁷ And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.

      ¹⁸ Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

      ¹⁹ And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

      ²⁰ And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;

      ²¹ then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.

      ²² And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store.

      ²³ And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

      ²⁴ And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

      ²⁵ If thy brother be waxed poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.

      ²⁶ And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxed rich and find sufficient to redeem it;

      ²⁷ then let him reckon the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession.

      ²⁸ But if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

      ²⁹ And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

      ³⁰ And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.

      ³¹ But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

      ³² Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

      ³³ And if one of the Levites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

      ³⁴ But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
