Having a Male Child Circumcised

Leviticus 12:1-8        The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived & bore a male child, then she shall be unclean 7 days; according to the [amount of] days of separation for her [during] the days of her [monthly] infirmity, she shall be unclean.

[On] the 8th day, the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. Then, she shall continue in the blood of her [purification] 33 days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her [purification are] fulfilled.

But if she [bears] a [female] child, then she shall be unclean for 2 weeks, [like] in her separation. She shall continue in the blood of her [purification] for 66 days.

When the days of her [purification] are [complete,] whether for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb in its 1st year to the priest for a burnt offering & a young pigeon or a turtle dove as a sin offering, to the priest [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[The priest] shall offer it before the Lord and make an [atonement] for her & she shall be cleansed from the [flow] of her blood. This is the law for her [who] has [given birth to] a male or female child.

And if she [isn’t] able to bring a lamb, then she may bring 2 turtle [doves] or 2 young pigeons, 1 as a burnt offering & the other [one] for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her & she shall be clean.

Leviticus 11:1-47 What Can and Can’t be Eaten by the Israelites

 

What Can and Can’t be Eaten by the Israelites
Leviticus 11:1-47          The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus
The Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron & [told] them, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, saying, These are the [animals] you shall eat among all the [animals] that are on the earth: [whatever completely parts] [divides] the hoof, with cloven [hooves] [each of 2 toes with a totally separated hoof] & chews the cud [chews their food again to fully digest it,] [are] among the [animals] that you shall eat.
[However,] you shall not eat of [these animals] that are unclean to you, that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: [like] the camel, the cony [a.k.a. rock hyrax] & the hare [a.k.a. rabbit,] because [they each] chew the cud, but [don’t] divide the  [hooves.] And the swine [a.k.a. pig, although it divides] the hoof & [has] cloven [hooves,] yet [it doesn’t] chew the cud. And you shall not eat their flesh [meat or] touch their carcass; they are all unclean to you.
The carcass of every [animal] that divides the [hooves] & [doesn't] have cloven [hooves,] nor chews the cud, are unclean to you. Everyone [who] touches them shall be unclean.
And [whatever] goes upon [its] paws, among all [types of animals] that go on all [fours,] those are uncle to you. [Whoever] touchess their carcass shall be unclean until the [evening.] And he [who carries its] carcass, shall wash his clothes & be unclean until [evening.] They are unclean to you.
These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: [whatever] has fins & scales whether in the seas or in the rivers. You shall eat them.
[Don’t eat] all that [don't]  have fins & scales, in the seas or rivers, of all that move in the waters, & of any living thing [that] is in the waters. You shouldn’t eat their flesh or touch their carcass. Even they shall be an abomination [detestable] to you. They shall be an abomination to you. [Whatever] has no fins, nor scales in the waters, shall be an abomination [detestable] to you.
These are [the unclean] fowls [a.k.a. birds] which are [considered an] abomination, after their kind & shouldn’t be eaten: the eagle, the ossifrage [a.k.a bearded vulture] & the osprey [a.k.a. buzzard,] after [its] kind; the vulture &  kite, after [its] kind; every raven after [its] kind; the  owl, nighthawk, cuckow [a.k.a. cuckoo,] hawk after [its] kind; the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the swan, the pelican, the gier eagle, the stork, the heron after [its] kind; the lapwing [a.k.a plover & the bat. All [birds] that creep, going upon all [fours,] shall be an abomination [detestable] to you.
Yet, you may eat of every flying, creeping [insect] that goes on all fours that have [jointed] legs above their feet to leap on the earth; [like] these you may eat: the locust after [its] kind; bald locust after [its] kind; beetle after [its] kind & the grasshopper after [its] kind. But all other flying creeping things, [that] have 4 feet, shall be an abomination to you. For these shall be unclean for you.
[Whoever] touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the [evening.] [Whoever carries any] of the [carcasses] of them, shall wash his clothes & be unclean until [evening.]
These shall also be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the mouse, & the tortoise, after [its] kind. And the ferret, the chameleon, the lizard, the snail & the mole.
These are unclean to you among all that creep. [Whoever touches] them, when they [are] dead, shall be unclean until [evening.]
[Whatever] of any of them [falls,] upon when they are dead, shall be unclean. Whether it [falls in] any [container] of wood, or] clothing, or skin, or sack, or [whatever] vessel it [is,] where any work is done, it must be put into water. And it shall be unclean until the [evening.]  [That's how] it shall be cleansed.
And every earthen vessel [made of clay,] where any of them falls & [whatever] is in it is unclean & you should break it. [If any water falls from the contaminated vessel] on all meat, all [drinks,] in every vessel, shall be unclean.
Everything that a part of their carcass falls [on] shall be unclean; whether [it’s] an oven, or ranges [stoves] for pots, it shall be broken down; for they are unclean & shall be unclean to you.
Nevertheless a [spring] or pit [cistern or well,] in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean, but [whatever] touches their carcass shall be unclean .
If any part of their carcass [falls] upon any [planting] seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. But if any water is put on the seed & any part of their carcass [falls on it,] it shall be unclean to you.
If any [animal], which you may eat, dies & he [who] touches [its] carcass [of it] shall be unclean until [evening.] He  eats or [carries] the carcass of it, shall wash his clothes & be unclean until [evening.]
And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth shall be an abomination [detestable.] It shall not be eaten.  [Whatever] crawls on [its] belly & [whatever] goes on all [fours,] or [whatever] has [many] feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth, you shall not eat them, for they are an abomination [detestable.]
You shall not make yourselves abominable [detestable] with any creeping thing that creeps. Neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, [so] that you [may] be defiled [by them.]  For I am the Lord your God & you shall sanctify yourselves. You shall be holy; for I Am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any [type] of creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
For I am the Lord [Who brought] you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: Therefore, you shall be holy, for I am holy. This is the law [related to:] the [animals,] the [birds] & of every living creature that moves in the waters or creeps upon the earth. To [distinguish] between the unclean & the clean & between the [animals] that may be eaten & the [animals] that may not be eaten.

Leviticus 10:1-20 Priests Nadab & Abihu Offer Profane Fire to the Lord

 

Priests Nadab & Abihu Offer Profane Fire to the Lord

Leviticus 10:1-20      The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

[Both priests,] Nadab & Abihu, the sons of Aaron, [each] took his censer & put fire [in it] & put incense [on it there] & offered strange fire before the Lord, which had not commanded them.

[Exodus 30:7-9 And Aaron shall burn [on there] sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. and when Aaron lights the lamps at [evening,] he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. Ye shall offer no strange incense [on there,] nor burnt sacrifice, nor [meat/grain] offering [on there.]

[So] fire went out from the Lord & devoured them & they died before the Lord. [Revelation 20:9 and they went up on the breadth of the earth & [encompassed] the camp [around] the saints & the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven & devoured them.]

[Moses told] Aaron, This is [what] the Lord [spoke,] saying, I  will be sanctified [by those who] come near Me & I will be glorified before all the people. [So] Aaron held his peace.

Moses called Mishael & Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, [Aaron’s] uncle & said to them, Come near & carry your brethren [out] from before the sanctuary [to] outside the camp. So, they went near & carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

Moses said to Aaron & his sons: Eleazar & Ithamar, [Don’t] uncover your heads & neither [tear] your clothing, lest you die & wrath [comes] on all the people. [Leviticus 21:1012 And he [who] is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured & [who] is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor [tear] his clothes. Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or mother. Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor [defile] the sanctuary, of his God; for the crown of the [head with] anointing oil, of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.]

But let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, [wail, expressing sorrow for] the burning which the Lord has kindled. You shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die.

For the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you & they did according to the word of Moses. The Lord [spoke] to Aaron, saying, Don’t you or your sons drink wine or strong drink, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die.

It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations: [So] that you may [distinguish] between [the] holy & unholy and between clean & unclean. [So] you may teach the children [people] of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

Moses [spoke] to Aaron & Eleazar & Ithamar, his sons [who] are left, Take the [meat/grain] offering that remains of the offerings of the Lord made by fire & eat it without leaven [yeast,] beside the altar: for it is most holy. You shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your & your sons’ [portions] due of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire: [as] I am commanded [to do] so.

The heave shoulder & the wave breast, you shall eat in a clean place. You, your sons & your daughters with you. For they are your [portion] due & your son’s [portion] due, which are given out of the sacrifices of [the] Peace Offerings of the children [people] of Israel.

The heave shoulder & the wave breast shall [be brought] with the offerings made by fire [from] the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord & it shall be yours & your sons with you, by a statute forever, as the Lord has commanded.

Moses diligently [searched] for the goat of the sin offering & behold, it was burnt. [Numbers 18:1 And the Lord said to Aaron, You & your sons & your father’s house with you shall bear the [sin] of the sanctuary. And you & your sons with you shall bear the [sin] of your priesthood.]

[Moses] was angry with Eleazer & Ithamar, [Aaron’s] sons [who remained] alive, saying, [Why haven’t] you eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy & God has given it [to] you to bear the iniquities of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

[See,] the blood of it was not brought within the holy place & you indeed should have eaten [the goat of the sin offering,] in the holy place, as I commanded.

Aaron said to Moses, [Look,] this day they have offered their sin offering & their burnt offering before the Lord & [the death & sinfulness of my other 2 sons has befallen me & if I had eaten the sin offering today [would] it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord? When Moses heard that, he was content.

Leviticus 9:1-24 Aaron & His Sons Make Atonement for the Israelites

 

Aaron & His Sons Make Atonement for the Israelites

Leviticus 9:1-24    The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

It [happened,] on the 8th day, that Moses called Aaron, his sons & the elders of Israel & said to Aaron, Take for [yourself] a young calf for a sin offering & a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish & offer them before the Lord.

You shall speak to the children [people] of Israel & [say,] Take a kid goat for a sin offering & calf & a lamb, both of the 1st year & without blemish, for a burnt offering; Also a [bull] & a ram as a Peace Offering to sacrifice before the Lord & a [meat/grain] offering [mixed] with oil, for today the Lord will appear to you.

They brought [what] Moses commanded [in front of] the tabernacle of the congregation & all the congregation drew near & stood before the Lord. Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded you [to] do & the glory of the Lord will appear to you.

Moses [told] Aaron, Go to the altar & offer your sin offering & burnt offering & make atonement yourself & for the people. Offer the offering of the people & make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded. Aaron went to the altar & [killed] the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

[Aaron’s] sons brought the blood to him & [Aaron] dipped his finger in the blood & put it on the horns of the altar & poured the blood at the bottom of the altar: But the fat, the kidneys & the [fatty lobe] above the liver of the sin offering, he [burned] on the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses. The flesh & the hide, he burned with fire [outside] the camp.

He [killed] the burnt offering & Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood which he sprinkled [all around] the altar. [Then,] they presented the burnt offering to him, with [its] pieces & head & he burned them on the altar. He washed the entrails & legs & burned them on the altar. And he [washed] the [internal parts] & legs & [burned] them upon the burnt offering on the altar.

[Then] he brought the people’s offering & took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people & [killed] it & offered it for sin, [like] the 1st [one.] And he brought the burnt offering & offered it according to the  [appropriate] manner. [Then] he brought the [meat/grain] offering & took a handful [of it] & [burned] it on the altar, [in addition to] the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

He also [killed] the [bull] & the ram for a sacrifice of [the] Peace Offerings, which [were] for the people. Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him, which he  sprinkled [all around] on the altar, The fat [from] the bull & ram, the rump & the fat that covers the [internal parts] & kidneys & the fatty lobe above the liver, they put the fat upon the breasts.

He burned the fat on the altar, [but] the breasts & the right shoulder, Aaron waved [as] a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded. [Then] Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people & blessed them & came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering & the Peace Offerings.

And Moses & Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation & came out & blessed the people.  [Then] the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people & fire came out from before the Lord & consumed the burnt offering & the fat on the altar. When all the people saw [it,] they shouted & fell on their faces.

Leviticus 8:1-36 Anointing Aaron and His Sons as Priests

 

Anointing Aaron and His Sons as Priests

Leviticus 8:1-36          The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Take Aaron, his sons, the garments, anointing oil, a [bull] for the sin offering, 2 rams & a basket of unleavened bread & gather all the congregation together at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, & Moses [did so.]

And Moses did [like] the Lord commanded him. And the assembly was gathered together to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Moses said to the congregation, This is [what] the Lord commanded to be done. Moses brought Aaron & his sons & washed them with water.

[Then Moses] put the coat on him & [strapped Aaron] with the [embroidered] girdle [sash,] clothed him with the robe, put the ephod [decorative vestment of high priests] on him & [dressed] him with a [skillfully woven band] of the ephod & [tied] it on [Aaron there.]

[Moses] put the breastplate upon [Aaron] & put the Urim & the Thummim in the breastplate & the [turban] on his head. Also, on [the front] he put a golden [engraved] plate [on] the holy crown; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And Moses took the anointing oil & anointed the tabernacle & all that was [in it] & sanctified them. [Moses] sprinkled [some] on the altar 7 times & anointed the altar, all [its] vessels [utensils,] both the [basin] & [its base] to sanctify them.

[Moses] poured [some] of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head & anointed him to sanctify him. Moses brought Aaron’s sons & put coats on them & girded them & [strapped] them with [sashes] & put [hats] on them, as the Lord commanded Moses. [Moses] brought the [bull] for the sin offering.

[Then] Aaron & his sons laid their hands on the head of the [bull] for the sin offering. He [killed] it & Moses took the blood & [sprinkled some] on the horns of the altar [all around] with his finger & purified the altar & poured the blood at the bottom of the altar & sanctified it to make [atonement] upon it.

[Then] he took all the fat that was on the [internal parts] & the [fatty lobe] above the liver & the 2 kidneys & their fat & [Moses] burned [them] on the altar. But the bull, [its] hide, [its] flesh & [its feces,] he burnt with fire [outside] the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

[Moses] brought the ram for the burnt offering & Aaron & his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram & he killed it & [Moses] sprinkled the blood [all around] upon the altar. He cut the ram into pieces & Moses burned the head, the pieces & the fat.

He washed the [internal parts] & legs in water. Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet [aroma] & an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. He brought the 2nd ram [which was] the ram of consecration.

Aaron & his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head & he [killed] it. [Moses] took [some] of the blood & put it on the tips of Aaron & his son’s right [ears] & on their [thumbs] of [their] right [hands] & on the [big toes of their] right [feet.]  Moses sprinkled the blood [all around] on the altar.

[Then Moses] took the fat & the rump & all the fat on the [internal parts,] the fat on the [fatty lobe] above the liver, the 2 kidneys & their fat & the right shoulder. He took [from] the basket that was before the Lord of unleavened bread [without yeast,] 1 unleavened cake, a cake of oiled bread & 1 wafer & put them on the fat on the right shoulder.

He put all [these] upon Aaron’s hands & his son’s hands & waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. [Then] Moses took them off their hands & burned them on the altar upon the burnt offering. They were [consecrated] for a sweet [aroma,] an offering made by fire to the Lord. Moses took the breast & waved it for a wave offering before the Lord.

The ram of consecration was Moses’ [portion,] as the Lord had commanded Moses. [Then] Moses took [some] of the oil & [some] of the blood which was on the altar & sprinkled it upon Aaron & his garments & Aaron’s sons & their garments with him & sanctified Aaron 7 his garments & his sons & his sons’ garments with him.

Moses [told] Aaron & his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation & eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron & his sons shall eat it.

[What remains] of the flesh [meat] & the bread, you shall burn with fire & you shall not go out of the door of the congregation [for] 7 days, until the days of your consecration [are] ended. For 7 days he shall consecrate you.

As he has done this day, [as] the Lord has commanded to do so, to make an atonement for you. Therefore you shall [stay] at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day & night for 7 days & keep the [responsibility] of the Lord, so that you [don’t] die, for I am commanded [to do] so.

So, Aaron & his sons did all [the] things [that] the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.

Leviticus 7:1-38 The Laws for Different Types of Offerings

 

The Laws for Different Types of Offerings

Leviticus 7:1-38                    The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

[The Lord God said to Moses,] [Similarly,] this is the law of the trespass offering: it is Most Holy. In the [same] place where the burnt offering [animal] is [killed,] they shall kill the trespass offering [animal] & the blood [of it] the [priest] shall sprinkle [around on] the altar.

He shall offer all the fat [of it]; the rump & the fat that covers the [internal parts] & the 2 kidneys & the fat on them by the flanks & the [fatty lobe] that is above the liver, with the kidneys & he shall take it away. The priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: It is a trespass offering.

Every male among the [priest's family] may eat [of it,] It shall be eaten in a Holy Place. It is Most Holy. [Just as] the sin offering is [done,] so shall the trespass offering [be done.] There is one law for them [both.] The priest [who] makes atonement [with it,] shall have it.  The priest [who] offers any man’s burnt offering, [that] priest shall have [it] to himself & the skin of the burnt offering he has offered.

All the [meat/grain] offering baked in an oven, all that is [prepared] in a frying pan & in a pan, shall [belong] to the priest [who] offered it. Every [meat/grain] offering, [either mixed] with oil [or] dry [without oil,] shall [belong] to all Aaron’s sons, one as much as another.

This is the law of the sacrifice of Peace Offerings, which he shall offer to the Lord. If he [offers] it [in giving thanks,] then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes [mixed] with oil, unleavened, wafers [sprinkled] with oil & cakes of fine flour [mixed] with oil & fried.

[In addition to] the cakes, he shall offer, for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving [from] his Peace Offerings. Of it, he shall offer one [each] out of the whole [offering] for the Heave Offering to the Lord & it shall be the priest’s [who] sprinkles the blood of the Peace Offerings. The [sacrificed meat] of his Peace Offerings for thanksgiving, shall be eaten the same day it is offered & not left until morning.

But if the sacrifice of his offering [is for] a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he [offers] his sacrifice & on the [next day] the [rest of it] shall be eaten. The [what’s left] shall be burnt with fire on the 3rd day.

If any of the flesh [meat] of his sacrifice [for] his Peace Offering [hasn’t been eaten] by the 3rd day, it shall not be accepted & is an abomination [because rotting starts] & the [person who offered it will be responsible] & the [person who] eats it will bear his [guilt.]

The flesh [meat] that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten & shall be burnt with fire. [If] the [cooked] flesh [meat that hasn’t become defiled,] all [who] are clean [priest & family] may eat it.

But [the person who] eats of the flesh [meat] of the sacrifice of the Peace Offerings, that pertain to the Lord, [while having an] uncleanness upon him, shall be cut off from his people.

[Also, if someone touches] any unclean thing, [like] the uncleanness of: man, beast,  or any abominable unclean thing & eats the flesh [meat] of the sacrifice of Peace Offerings, which pertain to the Lord, shall be cut off from his people.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, saying, You shall not eat [any type] of fat of [the:] ox, sheep, or goat. The fat of the beast that dies [on its own,] or the fat of [the animal] torn [by a beast,] may be used [for other things,] but [may not be eaten.] [Whoever] eats the fat of the beast, [that] men [sacrifice as] an offering made by fire to the Lord, shall be cut off from his people.

[Also,] you shall not eat [any type] of blood, whether it’s of [birds] or [animals,] in any of your dwellings. [The person who eats anything with the blood,] shall be cut off from his people.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the [people] of Israel, saying, [The person who] offers the sacrifice of his Peace Offering to the Lord, made by fire, shall bring his [offering] to the Lord [from] his Peace Offerings, with his own hands, the fat with the breast, he shall bring, [so] that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast [of the offered animal] shall be Aaron’s & his sons’. And you shall give the right shoulder to the priest  for a heave offering [from] the sacrifices or your Peace Offerings. Among the sons of Aaron, [who] offers the blood of the Peace Offerings & the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his [portion.]

For I [the Lord God] have taken the wave breast & the heave shoulder [from] the children [people] of Israel [from] their sacrifices & of their Peace Offerings & have given them to Aaron, the priest & his sons by a statute forever.

This is Aaron’s & his sons’ [portion given to them by God on the day of their anointing] [from] the offerings [to] the Lord made by fire, when [they were] presented to minister to the Lord in the priest’s office.

[The] Lord commanded [these] to be given [to the priests from] the children [people] of Israel, [on] the day that he anointed them, by statute forever through their generations.

This is the law of: the burnt offering, sin offering, the [meat/grain] offering, sin offering, trespass offering & the consecrations & the sacrifice of Peace Offerings: which the Lord commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the wilderness of Sinai, [on] the day the [Lord God] commanded the children [people] of Israel to [bring their offerings] to the Lord.
