1 אם־במחתרת ימצא הגנב והכה ומת אין לו דמים׃

2 אם־זרחה השמש עליו דמים לו שלם ישלם אם־אין לו ונמכר בגנבתו׃

3 אם־המצא תמצא בידו הגנבה משור עד־חמור עד־שה חיים שנים ישלם׃ ס

4 כי יבער־איש שדה או־כרם ושלח את־[כ= בעירה] [ק= בעירו] ובער בשדה אחר מיטב שדהו ומיטב כרמו ישלם׃ ס

5 כי־תצא אש ומצאה קצים ונאכל גדיש או הקמה או השדה שלם ישלם המבער את־הבערה׃ ס

6 כי־יתן איש אל־רעהו כסף או־כלים לשמר וגנב מבית האיש אם־ימצא הגנב ישלם שנים׃

7 אם־לא ימצא הגנב ונקרב בעל־הבית אל־האלהים אם־לא שלח ידו במלאכת רעהו׃

8 על־כל־דבר־פשע על־שור על־חמור על־שה על־שלמה על־כל־אבדה אשר יאמר כי־הוא זה עד האלהים יבא דבר־שניהם אשר ירשיען אלהים ישלם שנים לרעהו׃ ס

9 כי־יתן איש אל־רעהו חמור או־שור או־שה וכל־בהמה לשמר ומת או־נשבר או־נשבה אין ראה׃

10 שבעת יהוה תהיה בין שניהם אם־לא שלח ידו במלאכת רעהו ולקח בעליו ולא ישלם׃

11 ואם־גנב יגנב מעמו ישלם לבעליו׃

12 אם־טרף יטרף יבאהו עד הטרפה לא ישלם׃ ף

13 וכי־ישאל איש מעם רעהו ונשבר או־מת בעליו אין־עמו שלם ישלם׃

14 אם־בעליו עמו לא ישלם אם־שכיר הוא בא בשכרו׃ ס

15 וכי־יפתה איש בתולה אשר לא־ארשה ושכב עמה מהר ימהרנה לו לאשה׃

16 אם־מאן ימאן אביה לתתה לו כסף ישקל כמהר הבתולת׃ ס

17 מכשפה לא תחיה׃ ס

18 כל־שכב עם־בהמה מות יומת׃ ס

19 זבח לאלהים יחרם בלתי ליהוה לבדו׃

20 וגר לא־תונה ולא תלחצנו כי־גרים הייתם בארץ מצרים׃

21 כל־אלמנה ויתום לא תענון׃

22 אם־ענה תענה אתו כי אם־צעק יצעק אלי שמע אשמע צעקתו׃

23 וחרה אפי והרגתי אתכם בחרב והיו נשיכם אלמנות ובניכם יתמים׃ ף

24 אם־כסף תלוה את־עמי את־העני עמך לא־תהיה לו כנשה לא־תשימון עליו נשך׃

25 אם־חבל תחבל שלמת רעך עד־בא השמש תשיבנו לו׃

26 כי הוא [כ= כסותה] [ק= כסותו] לבדה הוא שמלתו לערו במה ישכב והיה כי־יצעק אלי ושמעתי כי־חנון אני׃ ס

27 אלהים לא תקלל ונשיא בעמך לא תאר׃

28 מלאתך ודמעך לא תאחר בכור בניך תתן־לי׃*

29 כן־תעשה לשרך לצאנך שבעת ימים יהיה עם־אמו ביום השמיני תתנו־לי׃

30 ואנשי־קדש תהיון לי ובשר בשדה טרפה לא תאכלו לכלב תשלכון אתו׃ ס

9215. 'It is his clothing for his skin' means that they also clothe relatively external things. This is clear from the meaning of 'clothing' as the sensory level in general or things on that level, as above; and from the meaning of 'skin' as that which is relatively external, which also clothes more internal things but still exists within those on the sensory level. What 'the skin' means, and who exactly correspond to the skin in the next life, see 3540, 5552-5559, 8977, 8980. The natural degree of the human mind has a rather internal level, a relatively external or middle level, and an outermost level. The more internal level of the natural is in contact with heaven; the middle or relatively external level is in contact on one side with the more internal, and through this with heaven, and on the other side with the outermost, and through this with the world, see 4009, 4570, 5118, 5126, 5497, 5649, 5707. The outermost level of the natural is that of the senses, which is meant here by 'clothing'. This level receives impressions of objects in the world and thereby serves more internal things. It is called 'his only covering' because it is the last and lowest and so is general to all, the relatively external or middle level of the natural being the one meant by 'skin'. From this it is evident that 'his clothing for his skin' means that the sensory level also clothes relatively external things. The fact that the sensory level is the last and lowest of a person's life, and so is a general covering, see 4009, 5077, 5125, 5128, 5767, 5774, 6201, 6313, 7442, 7693.

Numbers 18

1 Yahweh said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.

3 They shall keep your commands, and the duty of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.

4 They shall be joined to you, and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.

5 "You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of Israel.

6 I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yahweh, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.

7 You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death."

8 Yahweh spoke to Aaron, "I, behold, I have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.

9 This shall be yours of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.

10 You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.

11 "This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

12 "All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Yahweh, to you have I given them.

13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

14 "Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.

15 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.

16 You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).

17 "But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

18 Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.

19 All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your seed with you."

20 Yahweh said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 "To the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.

22 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

23 But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, 'Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'"

25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

26 "Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, 'When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.

27 Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

28 Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh's wave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of Yahweh, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.'

30 "Therefore you shall tell them, 'When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.

32 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.'"
