¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

² Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in the things that they hallow unto me: I am Jehovah.

³ Say unto them, Every one of all your seed, throughout your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.

⁴ Whatsoever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a flux, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And he that toucheth any one that is unclean by a dead person, or a man whose seed of copulation hath passed from him;

⁵ or a man that toucheth any crawling thing whereby he becometh unclean, or a man by whom he may become unclean, whatever may be his uncleanness,

⁶ -- a person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things; but he shall bathe his flesh with water,

⁷ and when the sun goeth down, he shall be clean, and may afterwards eat of the holy things; for it is his food.

⁸ Of a dead carcase and what is torn shall he not eat, to make himself unclean therewith: I am Jehovah.

⁹ And they shall keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die by it, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

¹⁰ And no stranger shall eat the holy thing; the sojourner with the priest, and the hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

¹¹ But if a priest buy any one for money, he may eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they may eat of his food.

¹² And a priest's daughter who is [married] to a stranger may not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.

¹³ But a priest's daughter that becometh a widow, or is divorced, and hath no seed, and returneth unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food; but no stranger shall eat thereof.

¹⁴ And if a man eat of a holy thing through inadvertence, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer unto Jehovah,

¹⁶ and cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass when they eat their holy things; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

¹⁷ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that presenteth his offering for any of his vows, and for any of his voluntary offerings, which they present to Jehovah as a burnt-offering,

¹⁹ it shall be for your acceptance, without blemish, a male of the oxen, of the sheep, and of the goats.

²⁰ Nothing that hath a defect shall ye present; for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ And if any present a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or a voluntary offering of oxen or small cattle, it shall be without blemish to be accepted: there shall be no defect therein.

²² Blind, or broken, or maimed, or ulcerous, or with itch, or scabbed -- ye shall not present these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Jehovah.

²³ A bullock and a sheep that hath a member too long or too short, that mayest thou offer as a voluntary offering; but as a vow it shall not be accepted.

²⁴ That which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut shall ye not present to Jehovah; neither in your land shall ye do [the like].

²⁵ Nor from the hand of the stranger shall ye present the bread of your God, of any of these; for their corruption is in them: a defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁷ An ox, or a sheep, or a goat, when it is brought forth, shall be seven days under its dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering by fire to Jehovah.

²⁸ A cow, or sheep -- it and its young shall ye not slaughter in one day.

²⁹ And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.

³⁰ On that day shall it be eaten: ye shall leave none of it until morning: I am Jehovah.

³¹ And ye shall observe my commandments and do them: I am Jehovah.

³² And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who do hallow you,

³³ who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.

¹ He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tent.

² The breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.

³ Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.

⁴ He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

⁵ Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

⁶ The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might have hold [therein], and not have hold in the wall of the house.

⁷ The side rooms were broader as they encompassed [the house] higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher around the house: therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [room] to the highest by the middle [room].

⁸ I saw also that the house had a raised base all around: the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

⁹ The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

¹⁰ Between the rooms was a breadth of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

¹¹ The doors of the side rooms were toward [the place] that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits all around.

¹² The building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

¹³ So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

¹⁴ also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

¹⁵ He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

¹⁶ the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and [from] the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

¹⁷ to [the space] above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

¹⁸ It was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;

¹⁹ so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. [thus was it] made through all the house all around:

²⁰ from the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

²¹ As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance [of it] was as the appearance [of the temple].

²² The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before Yahweh.

²³ The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

²⁴ The doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves: two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

²⁵ There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

²⁶ There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side rooms of the house, and the thresholds.
