VaYikra, starting at chapter 10
{10:1} Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aharon, each took his censer,
and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire
before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. {10:2} And fire came
forth from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before
the LORD.
{10:3} Then Moshe said to Aharon, "This is what the LORD spoke of,
saying,
"'I will show myself holy to those who come near me,
And before all the people I will be glorified.'"
Aharon held his shalom. {10:4} Moshe called Misha'el and Eltzafan,
the sons of `Uzzi'el the uncle of Aharon, and said to them, "Draw
near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
{10:5} So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the
camp, as Moshe had said.
{10:6} Moshe said to Aharon, and to El`azar and to Itamar, his sons,
"Don't let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes;
that you don't die, and that he not be angry with all the
congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Yisra'el,
bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled. {10:7} You shall not go
out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the
anointing oil of the LORD is on you." They did according to the word
of Moshe.
{10:8} The LORD spoke to Aharon, saying, {10:9} "Drink no wine nor
strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent
of Meeting, that you don't die: it shall be a statute forever
throughout your generations: {10:10} and that you are to make a
distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean
and the clean; {10:11} and that you are to teach the children of
Yisra'el all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moshe."
{10:12} Moshe spoke to Aharon, and to El`azar and to Itamar, his
sons who were left, "Take the meal offering that remains of the
offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside
the altar; for it is most holy; {10:13} and you shall eat it in a holy
place, because it is your portion, and your sons' portion, of the
offerings of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. {10:14} The
waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you,
and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your
portion, and your sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the shalom
offerings of the children of Yisra'el. {10:15} The heaved thigh and
the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of
the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall
be yours, and your sons' with you, as a portion forever; as the LORD
has commanded."
{10:16} Moshe diligently inquired about the goat of the sin
offering, and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with El`azar
and with Itamar, the sons of Aharon who were left, saying, {10:17}
"Why haven't you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary,
seeing it is most holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity
of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
{10:18} Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the
sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I
commanded."
{10:19} Aharon spoke to Moshe, "Behold, this day they have offered
their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such
things as these have happend to me: and if I had eaten the sin
offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of the LORD?"
{10:20} When Moshe heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
{11:1} The LORD spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying to them, {11:2}
"Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'These are the living
things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the
[1>]eretz[<1]. {11:3} Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed,
and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
{11:4} "'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the
cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the
cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. {11:5} The
coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is
unclean to you. {11:6} The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't
part the hoof, she is unclean to you. {11:7} The pig, because he has a
split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is
unclean to you. {11:8} Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their
carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
{11:9} These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has
fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that
you may eat. {11:10} All that don't have fins and scales in the seas,
and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the
living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to
you, {11:11} and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh,
and you shall detest their carcasses. {11:12} Whatever has no fins nor
scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
{11:13} "'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be
eaten, they are an abomination: the [2>]nesher[<2], and the
[3>]rakham[<3], and the black [4>]rakham[<4], {11:14} and the red
kite, any kind of black kite, {11:15} any kind of raven, {11:16} the
[5>]tanshemet[<5], the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,
{11:17} the [6>]kos[<6], the [7>]shalakh[<7], the [8>]yanshuf[<8],
{11:18} the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, {11:19} the
[9>]khasidah[<9], any kind of heron, the [10>]dukifat[<10], and the
[11>]atalef[<11].
{11:20} "'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an
abomination to you. {11:21} Yet you may eat these: of all winged
creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their
feet, with which to hop on the [12>]eretz[<12]. {11:22} Even of these
you may eat: any kind of [13>]arbeh[<13], any kind of katydid, any
kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. {11:23} But all winged
creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
{11:24} "'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the
carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening. {11:25} Whoever
carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the evening.
{11:26} "'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not
cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who
touches them shall be unclean. {11:27} Whatever goes on its paws,
among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you.
Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
{11:28} He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
{11:29} "'These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping
things that creep on the [14>]eretz[<14]: the [15>]kholed[<15], the
rat, any kind of [16>]tzav[<16], {11:30} the [17>]anakah[<17], and the
monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the tanshemet. {11:31}
These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever
touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
{11:32} On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be
unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or
sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be
put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it
will be clean. {11:33} Every earthen vessel, into which any of them
falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
{11:34} All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall
be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall
be unclean. {11:35} Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls
shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken
in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. {11:36}
Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall
be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
{11:37} If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to
be sown, it is clean. {11:38} But if water is put on the seed, and
part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
{11:39} "'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches
its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. {11:40} He who eats of
its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the evening.
{11:41} "'Every creeping thing that creeps on the [18>]eretz[<18] is
an abomination. It shall not be eaten. {11:42} Whatever goes on its
belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even
all creeping things that creep on the [19>]eretz[<19], them you shall
not eat; for they are an abomination. {11:43} You shall not make
yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither
shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be
defiled thereby. {11:44} For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify
yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you
defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the
[20>]eretz[<20]. {11:45} For I am the LORD who brought you up out of
the land of Mitzrayim, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy,
for I am holy.
{11:46} "'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of
every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature
that creeps on the [21>]eretz[<21], {11:47} to make a distinction
between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that
may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.'"
{12:1} The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, {12:2} "Speak to the
children of Yisra'el, saying, 'If a woman conceives, and bears a male
child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her
monthly period she shall be unclean. {12:3} In the eighth day the
flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. {12:4} She shall continue
in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch
any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her
purifying are completed. {12:5} But if she bears a female child, then
she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall
continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.
{12:6} "'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son,
or for a daughter, she shall bring to the [1>]Kohen[<1] at the door of
the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young
pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering: {12:7} and he shall offer
it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be
cleansed from the fountain of her blood.
"'This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
{12:8} If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and
the other for a sin offering: and the [2>]Kohen[<2] shall make
atonement for her, and she shall be clean.'"
