Leviticus 17

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

 ³Every one of the house of Israel that slaughtereth an ox, or sheep, or goat, in the camp, or that slaughtereth it out of the camp,

 ⁴and doth not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to Jehovah, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be reckoned unto that man: he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people,

 ⁵to the end that the children of Israel bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they bring them to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah.

 ⁶And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet odour to Jehovah.

 ⁷And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto demons, after whom they go a whoring. This shall be an everlasting statute unto them for their generations.

 ⁸And thou shalt say unto them, Every one of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that offereth up a burnt-offering or sacrifice,

 ⁹and bringeth it not to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to offer it up to Jehovah -- that man shall be cut off from his peoples.

 ¹⁰And every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, -- I will set my face against the soul that hath eaten blood, and will cut him off from among his people;

 ¹¹for the soul of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.

 ¹²Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall the stranger who sojourneth among you eat blood.

 ¹³And every one of the children of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that catcheth in the hunt a beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with earth;

 ¹⁴for as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it; and I have said unto the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.

 ¹⁵And every soul that eateth of a dead carcase, or of that which was torn, be it one home-born, or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even: then he shall be clean.

 ¹⁶And if he wash them not nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

Leviticus 18

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.

 ³After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their customs.

 ⁴Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.

 ⁵And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah.

 ⁶No one shall approach to any that is his near relation, to uncover his nakedness: I am Jehovah.

 ⁷The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

 ⁸The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.

 ⁹The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home, or born abroad -- their nakedness shalt thou not uncover.

 ¹⁰The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter -- their nakedness shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy nakedness.

 ¹¹The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father: she is thy sister: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

 ¹²The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near relation.

 ¹³The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near relation.

 ¹⁴The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.

 ¹⁵The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law shalt thou not uncover: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

 ¹⁶The nakedness of thy brother's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy brother's nakedness.

 ¹⁷The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are her near relations: it is wickedness.

 ¹⁸And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside her, during her life.

 ¹⁹And thou shalt not approach a woman in the separation of her uncleanness to uncover her nakedness.

 ²⁰And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to become unclean with her.

 ²¹And thou shalt not give of thy seed to let them pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

 ²²And thou shalt not lie with mankind as one lieth with a woman: it is an abomination.

 ²³And thou shalt lie with no beast to become unclean therewith; and a woman shall not stand before a beast to lie down with it: it is confusion.

 ²⁴Make not yourselves unclean in any of these things; for in all these have the nations which I am casting out before you made themselves unclean.

 ²⁵And the land hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants.

 ²⁶But *ye* shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;

 ²⁷(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);

 ²⁸that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

 ²⁹For whoever committeth any of these abominations, ... the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

 ³⁰And ye shall observe my charge, that ye commit not [any] of the abominable customs which were committed before you; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean therein: I am Jehovah your God.

 ²⁷Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with [them] to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,

 ²⁸and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;

 ²⁹and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

 ³⁰And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat [him] on his head.

 ³¹And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.

 ³²And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go [with them] that he might bear his cross.

 ³³And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,

 ³⁴they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], he would not drink.

 ³⁵And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.

 ³⁶And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.

 ³⁷And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

 ³⁸Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

 ³⁹But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads

 ⁴⁰and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.

 ⁴¹[And] in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

 ⁴²He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.

 ⁴³He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will [have] him. For he said, I am Son of God.

 ⁴⁴And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.

 ⁴⁵Now from [the] sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;

 ⁴⁶but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

 ⁴⁷And some of those who stood there, when they heard [it], said, This [man] calls for Elias.

 ⁴⁸And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled [it] with vinegar and fixed [it] on a reed, gave him to drink.

 ⁴⁹But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.

 ⁵⁰And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.
