Leviticus 10.
1 Aaron’s sons Nadáv and Avihú: Each man took his incense-burner, lit it, placed incense in it,
and brought it into the LORD’s presence—weird fire, which God didn’t permit them.
2 So fire came out of the LORD’s presence and consumed them.
They died before the LORD’s presence.
3 Moses told Aaron, “Here’s what the LORD says to those who come near him: ‘I’m holy.
I must be glorified in the presence of all people.’” Aaron said nothing.
4 Moses called Mišahél and Elchafán, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziél, and told them, “Come in.
Carry your family out of the sanctuary. Take them outside the camp.”
5 They came in, and carried them outside the camp in their tunics, as Moses said.
6 Moses told Aaron and his sons Eleazár and Itamár, “Don’t uncover your heads.
Don’t tear your clothes. Don’t die: Anger will come on the congregation!
Your brothers, and Israel’s house, will weep over the burning the LORD burned.
7 Don’t go out the Meeting Tent door, or you’ll die: The LORD’s anointing oil is on you.”
They followed Moses’s word. 8 The LORD told Aaron, 9 “You and your sons with you:
Drink no wine nor liquor when you come to the Meeting Tent. Don’t die.
This is a rule for every generation. 10 Distinguish between holy and secular, between clean and unclean.
11 Show Israel’s sons all the rules the LORD told them by Moses’s hand.”
Leviticus 16.
21 “Aaron rests his two hands on the live goat’s head.
He confesses, over it, every wrongdoing of Israel’s children.
All their rebellion. All their sins. He gives them to the goat’s head.
He hands it off to a man, ready for the wilderness.
22 The goat carries the wrongdoings on itself to a cut-off land.
He sends the goat to the wilderness.”
Leviticus 19.
9 “When you harvest the harvest of your land, don’t harvest the edge of your field completely.
Don’t take a second pass.
10 Your vineyard: Don’t strip it bare, and take the broken grapes of your vineyard.
Don’t take a second pass.
Leave them for the poor and the foreigner.
I’m your LORD God.”
19 “Watch my decrees. Don’t mate your cattle to different animals.
In your field, don’t plant different plants.
Different clothing, mixed fabric: Don’t put it on you.”
Leviticus 23.
3 “Do work six days. On the seventh day it’s Sabbath rest, a holy assembly.
Don’t do any work. It’s a Sabbath for the LORD in all your dwellings.”
Leviticus 24.
10 An Israeli woman and Egyptian man’s son went out in the midst of Israel’s descendants.
The Israeli woman’s son fought with an Israeli in the camp.
11 The Israeli woman’s son slandered the LORD’s name, showing God contempt.
They brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Šelomít bat Divrí, tribe of Dan.
12 They set ben Šelomít under guard, till the LORD’s mouth clarified things for them.
13 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring the curser outside the camp.
All who heard: Place their hands on his head. All the community: Stone him.
15 Declare to Israel’s descendants, saying, ‘Man, man!
When he curses his God, he bears all his own sin!’
16 The slanderer of the LORD’s name dies, dies. All the community: Stone him.
Alien same as native, who slanders the LORD’s name, dies.
17 When a man strikes down a human soul, he dies, dies.
18 If he strikes down an an animal’s soul, he pays back soul for soul.
19 When a man gives injury to his neighbor: As he did, so do to him.
20 Break for break. Eye for eye. Tooth for tooth. What injury he gave a human, thus give him.
21 One who strikes down an animal pays it back. One who strikes down a human dies.
22 One ruling for everyone, alien and native alike. I’m your LORD God.”
23 Moses declared this to Israel’s descendants. They brought the curser outside the camp.
They stoned him with stone. Israel’s descendants did as the LORD commanded through Moses.
Leviticus 26.
12 “I walk in your midst. For you, I’m God.
For me, you’re my people.”
