Exodus 12.0:

Exodus 12.1: 12Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

Exodus 12.2: 2 “This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.

Exodus 12.3: 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;

Exodus 12.4: 4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.

Exodus 12.5: 5 Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats.

Exodus 12.6: 6 You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.

Exodus 12.7: 7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

Exodus 12.8: 8 They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.

Exodus 12.9: 9 Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

Exodus 12.10: 10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

Exodus 12.11: 11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’s Passover.

Exodus 12.12: 12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.

Exodus 12.13: 13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12.14: 14 This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

Exodus 12.15: 15 “‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

Exodus 12.16: 16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may be done by you.

Exodus 12.17: 17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

Exodus 12.18: 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

Exodus 12.19: 19 There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.

Exodus 12.20: 20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

Exodus 12.21: 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.

Exodus 12.22: 22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

Exodus 12.23: 23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

Exodus 12.24: 24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

Exodus 12.25: 25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

Exodus 12.26: 26 It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

Exodus 12.27: 27 that you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Yahweh’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’”

The people bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exodus 12.28: 28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exodus 12.29: 29 At midnight, Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.

Exodus 12.30: 30 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

Exodus 12.31: 31 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!

Exodus 12.32: 32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”

Exodus 12.33: 33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”

Exodus 12.34: 34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

Exodus 12.35: 35 The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.

Exodus 12.36: 36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.

Exodus 12.37: 37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.

Exodus 12.38: 38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.

Exodus 12.39: 39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.

Exodus 12.40: 40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

Exodus 12.41: 41 At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of Yahweh’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12.42: 42 It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

Exodus 12.43: 43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,

Exodus 12.44: 44 but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

Exodus 12.45: 45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.

Exodus 12.46: 46 It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.

Exodus 12.47: 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

Exodus 12.48: 48 When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

Exodus 12.49: 49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.”

Exodus 12.50: 50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exodus 12.51: 51 That same day, Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Leviticus 17.0:

Leviticus 17.1: 17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Leviticus 17.2: 2 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded:

Leviticus 17.3: 3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,

Leviticus 17.4: 4 and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to Yahweh before Yahweh’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. That man shall be cut off from among his people.

Leviticus 17.5: 5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh.

Leviticus 17.6: 6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

Leviticus 17.7: 7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’

Leviticus 17.10: 10 “‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

Leviticus 17.11: 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.

Leviticus 17.12: 12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”

Leviticus 17.13: 13 “‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.

Leviticus 17.14: 14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

Leviticus 17.15: 15 “‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean.

Leviticus 19.7: 7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;

Leviticus 19.8: 8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Leviticus 19.9: 9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

Leviticus 22.3: 3 “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.4: 4 “‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,

Leviticus 22.5: 5 or whoever touches any creeping thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—

Leviticus 22.6: 6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.

Leviticus 22.7: 7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

Leviticus 22.8: 8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.16: 16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

Leviticus 22.17: 17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Leviticus 22.18: 18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:

Leviticus 22.19: 19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

Leviticus 22.20: 20 But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Leviticus 22.21: 21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.

Leviticus 22.22: 22 You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.23: 23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

Leviticus 22.24: 24 You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.

Leviticus 22.25: 25 You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”

Leviticus 22.26: 26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Leviticus 22.27: 27 “When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.28: 28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

Leviticus 22.29: 29 “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

Leviticus 22.30: 30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.31: 31 “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.

Leviticus 22.32: 32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,

Leviticus 22.33: 33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh.”

Deuteronomy 27.2: 2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat them with plaster.

Deuteronomy 27.3: 3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

Deuteronomy 27.4: 4 It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.

Deuteronomy 27.10: 10 You shall therefore obey Yahweh your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”

Deuteronomy 27.11: 11 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

Deuteronomy 27.12: 12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Deuteronomy 27.13: 13 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Deuteronomy 27.14: 14 With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,

Deuteronomy 27.15: 15 ‘Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’

All the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’

Deuteronomy 27.16: 16 ‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother.’
