for I
am
holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth.
45
For I
am
the L
ORD
that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God:
ye shall therefore be holy, for I
am
holy.
46
This
is
the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of
every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47
To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten
and the beast that may not be eaten.
CHAPTER 12
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman
have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the
days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
3
And in the eighth day the flesh of
his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4
And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three
and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of
her purifying be fulfilled.
5
But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as
in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
6
And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a
lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering,
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
7
Who shall offer it before the
L
ORD
, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This
is
the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
8
And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then
she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for
a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
CHAPTER 13
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
2
When a man shall have in the skin of his
flesh a rising, a scab, or a bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh
like
the plague of leprosy;
then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
3
And the priest
shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and
when
the hair in the plague is turned white,
and the plague in sight
be
deeper than the skin of his flesh, it
is
a plague of leprosy: and the priest
shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
4
If the bright spot
be
white in the skin of his flesh,
and in sight
be
not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest
shall shut up
him that hath
the plague seven days:
5
And the priest shall look on him the seventh
day: and, behold,
if
the plague in his sight be at a stay,
and
the plague spread not in the skin; then
the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
6
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh
day: and, behold,
if
the plague
be
somewhat dark,
and
the plague spread not in the skin, the priest
