¹² You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, for she is near akin to your father. ¹³ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is near akin to your mother. ¹⁴ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, and you shall not go in to his wife; for she is your relation. ¹⁵ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. ¹⁶ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness. ¹⁷ The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shall you not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shall you not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are your kinswomen: it is impiety. ¹⁸ You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living. ¹⁹ And you shall not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness. ²⁰ And you shall not lie with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her. ²¹ And you shall not give of your seed to serve a ruler; and you shall not profane My holy name; I am the Lord. ²² And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination. ²³ Neither shall you lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination. ²⁴ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drove out before you, ²⁵ and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it. ²⁶ And you shall keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and you shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you: ²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,) ²⁸ and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you. ²⁹ For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people. ³⁰ And you shall keep My ordinances, that you may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time; and you shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

¹⁴ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, and you shall not go in to his wife; for she is your relation.

¹⁹ He shall not be known among his people, nor his house preserved on the earth.

¹³ Let his children be given up to utter destruction; in one generation let his name be blotted out.

³⁰ Write this man down as childless; for by no means shall his seed ever grow up to sit on the throne of David, or be as a prince yet in Judah.

⁷ But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

²⁵ "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among men."

²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which did not give birth, and breasts which did not nurse!'

¹⁶ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.

³ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. ⁴ For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

¹ And these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:

²⁵ and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it. ²⁶ And you shall keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and you shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you: ²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,) ²⁸ and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.

³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.

⁴⁵ These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt,

¹ And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the ordinances and statutes, all that I speak in your ears this day, and you shall learn them, and observe to do them.

²⁵ The Lord shall give you up for slaughter before your enemies; you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to scare them away.

⁸ The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes. ⁹ The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether. ¹⁰ To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. ¹¹ For Your servant keeps to them; in the keeping of them there is great reward.

⁴⁵ that they might keep His ordinances, and diligently seek His law.

²⁰ My soul has longed exceedingly for Your judgments at all times.

⁸⁰ Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, that I may not be ashamed.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn and determined to keep the judgments of Your righteousness.

¹⁴⁵ I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord; I will search out Your statutes.

¹⁶⁰ The beginning of Your words is truth; and all the judgments of Your righteousness endure forever.

¹⁶⁴ Seven times in a day have I praised You because of the judgments of Your righteousness.

¹⁷¹ Let my lips utter a hymn, when You shall have taught me Your statutes.

¹⁷⁵ My soul shall live, and shall praise You; and Your judgments shall help me.

⁸ For the way of the Lord is judgment; we have hoped in Your name, and on the remembrance of You, ⁹ which our soul longs for; my spirit seeks You very early in the morning, O God, for Your commandments are a light on the earth; learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.

²⁷ And I will put My Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in My ordinances, and to keep My judgments, and do them.

³ You shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which you dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Canaan, into which I bring you, you shall not do; and you shall not walk in their ordinances.

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drove out before you,

²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)

³⁰ And you shall keep My ordinances, that you may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time; and you shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

⁵ Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations, the Lord shall destroy them from before you, and that He may establish the covenant, which the Lord swore to our fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

³⁰ take heed to yourself that you seek not to follow them after they are destroyed before you, saying, How do these nations act towards their gods? I will do likewise. ³¹ You shall not do so to your God; for they have sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord which He hates, for they burn their sons and their daughters in fire to their gods.

⁵⁹ God heard and lightly regarded them, and greatly despised Israel.

¹ Hear the word of the Lord, which He has spoken to you, O house of Israel. ² Thus says the Lord: Learn not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, falling on their faces.

⁸ And I will cut off three shepherds in one month, and My soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against Me.

⁸ And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and Girgashites and Hivites and Jebusites.

¹⁷ And He said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁸ And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out My hand to give it to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I am the Lord.

⁵ And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites and the Girgashites and the Perizzites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall perform this service in this month.

⁵ And now if you will indeed hear My voice, and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is Mine. ⁶ And you shall be to Me a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words shall you speak to the children of Israel.

³ And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by the way.

¹⁶ And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favor with You, except only if You go with us? So both I and Your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.

²⁶ And you shall be holy to Me; because I the Lord your God am holy, who separated you from all nations, to be Mine.

⁹ For from the top of the mountains I shall see him, and from the hills I shall observe him. Behold, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

⁶ For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to Him a peculiar people beyond all nations that are upon the face of the earth.

² For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to Himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.

⁵³ because You have set them apart for an inheritance to Yourself out of all the nations of the earth, as You spoke by the hand of Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, O Lord God. Then Solomon spoke concerning the house, when he had finished building it; He manifested the sun in the heaven. The Lord said He would dwell in darkness; build my house, a beautiful house for yourself to dwell in anew. Behold, is not this written in the Book of the Song?

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

¹⁷ Therefore "Come out from the midst of them and be separated," says the Lord. "Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat out of all beasts that are upon the earth. ³ Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these you shall eat. ⁴ But of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws: the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. ⁵ And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. ⁶ And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. ⁷ And the swine, because this animal divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. ⁸ You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; these are unclean to you. ⁹ And these are what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall eat. ¹⁰ And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you. ¹¹ You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcasses. ¹² And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you. ¹³ And these are the things which you shall abhor of birds, an they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle. ¹⁴ And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it; ¹⁵ and the sparrow, and the owl, and the sea-mew, and the like to it; ¹⁶ and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like, ¹⁷ and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork, ¹⁸ and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan, ¹⁹ and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat. ²⁰ And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you. ²¹ But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth. ²² And these of them you shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like. ²³ Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you. ²⁴ And by these you shall be defiled; everyone that touches their carcasses shall be unclean till the evening. ²⁵ And everyone that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening. ²⁶ And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; everyone that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening. ²⁷ And everyone among all the wild beasts that moves upon its four feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; everyone that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening. ²⁸ And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you. ²⁹ And these are unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the lizard, ³⁰ the ferret, the chameleon, the evet, the newt, and the mole. ³¹ These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; everyone who touches their carcasses shall be unclean till evening. ³² And on whatsoever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and then it shall be clean. ³³ And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatsoever is inside it shall be unclean, and it shall be broken. ³⁴ And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come from such a vessel, shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any such vessel shall be unclean. ³⁵ And everything on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you. ³⁶ Only if the water be of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcasses shall be unclean. ³⁷ And if one of their carcasses should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean. ³⁸ But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you. ³⁹ And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcasses shall be unclean till evening. ⁴⁰ And he that eats of their carcasses shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcasses shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening. ⁴¹ And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten. ⁴² And every animal that creeps on its belly, and everyone that goes on four feet continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth — you shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you. ⁴³ And you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be polluted with them, and you shall not be unclean by them. ⁴⁴ For I am the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth. ⁴⁵ For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy. ⁴⁶ This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth; ⁴⁷ to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.

³ You shall not eat any abominable thing. ⁴ These are the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats; ⁵ the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, and the mountain goat. ⁶ Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these you shall eat. ⁷ And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you. ⁸ And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies. ⁹ And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales. ¹⁰ And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you. ¹¹ You shall eat every clean bird. ¹² And these among them you shall not eat: the eagle, the ossifrage, the sea-eagle, ¹³ the vulture, the kite and the like to it, ¹⁴ (TEXT OMITTED) ¹⁵ the sparrow, the owl, the seagull, ¹⁶ the heron, the swan, the stork, ¹⁷ the cormorant, the hawk and its like, the hoopoe, the raven, ¹⁸ the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the redbill and the bat. ¹⁹ All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them. ²⁰ You shall eat every clean bird. ²¹ You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

¹¹ and he saw heaven having been opened, and descending to him a certain vessel like a great sheet, having been bound at the four corners, and being let down upon the ground, ¹² in which were all the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild animals, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, "Arise, Peter; kill and eat." ¹⁴ But Peter said, "By no means, Lord! For never did I eat anything common or unclean." ¹⁵ And a voice spoke again the second time to him, "That which God has made clean, you must not make common."

²⁸ and he said to them, "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a Gentile; and yet God has shown to me that I should call no man common or unclean;

⁷ Therefore do not be participants with them. ⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light-- ⁹ for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, ¹⁰ proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ And have no partnership with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

⁷ And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

²⁴ and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from all people.

¹⁸ And the Lord has chosen you this day, that you should be to Him a peculiar people, as He said, to keep His commands; ¹⁹ and that you should be above all nations, as He has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.

⁵ Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His footstool; for He is holy.

⁹ Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.

³ And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.

¹¹ and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people as His own possession, zealous for good works.

⁷ "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says the Holy One, the True One, " He who has the key of David, He that opens and no man shuts, except He that opens, and no man shall open."

⁸ And the four living beings, each one having six wings apiece, were full of eyes around and within. And they never rest day or night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy, holy, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, He who was, and who is, and who is to come!"

¹⁸ You shall not save the lives of sorcerers.

⁶ And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set My face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.

¹⁰ There shall not be found in you one who purges his son or his daughter with fire, or one who uses divination, or one who deals with omens, or a sorcerer ¹¹ employing an incantation, or one who has in him a divining spirit, or an observer of signs who questions the dead. ¹² For everyone that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God; for because of these abominations the Lord shall destroy them from before your face.

⁷ Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Endor. ⁸ And Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said to her, Divine to me by the divining spirit within you, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to you. ⁹ And the woman said to him, Behold now, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had divining spirits in them, and the wizards from the land; and why do you spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
