God

`And the priest hath sprinkled the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath made perfume with the fat for sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

and unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring it in to make it to Jehovah--that man hath been cut off from his people.

`And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;

for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood which maketh atonement for the soul.

`Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not eat blood;

for it is the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I am Jehovah your God;

according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.

`My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God;

and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I am Jehovah.

`None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I am Jehovah.

`And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I am Jehovah.

`Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:

and ye--ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not any of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,

and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do any of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I am Jehovah your God.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy am I, Jehovah, your God.

`Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I am Jehovah your God.

`Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I am Jehovah your God.

`And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;

and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.

and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I am Jehovah your God.

`And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I am Jehovah.
