1וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽרGOD spoke to Moses, saying:

2דַּבֵּר אֶל־כׇּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽםSpeak to the whole Israelite community and say to them: You shall be holy, for I, the ETERNAL your God, am holy.

3אִישׁ אִמּוֹ וְאָבִיו תִּירָאוּ וְאֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽםYou shall each revere your mother and your father, and keep My sabbaths: I the ETERNAL am your God.

4אַל־תִּפְנוּ אֶל־הָאֱלִילִם וֵֽאלֹהֵי מַסֵּכָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ לָכֶם אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽםDo not turn to idols or make molten gods for yourselves: I the ETERNAL am your God.

5וְכִי תִזְבְּחוּ זֶבַח שְׁלָמִים לַיהֹוָה לִֽרְצֹנְכֶם תִּזְבָּחֻֽהוּWhen you sacrifice an offering of well-being to GOD, sacrifice it so that it may be accepted in your behalf.

6בְּיוֹם זִבְחֲכֶם יֵאָכֵל וּמִֽמׇּחֳרָת וְהַנּוֹתָר עַד־יוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בָּאֵשׁ יִשָּׂרֵֽףIt shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the day after; but what is left by the third day must be consumed in fire.

7וְאִם הֵאָכֹל יֵאָכֵל בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי פִּגּוּל הוּא לֹא יֵרָצֶֽהIf it should be eaten on the third day, it is an offensive thing, it will not be acceptable.

8וְאֹֽכְלָיו עֲוֺנוֹ יִשָּׂא כִּֽי־אֶת־קֹדֶשׁ יְהֹוָה חִלֵּל וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מֵעַמֶּֽיהָAnd one who eats of it shall bear the guilt for having profaned what is sacred to GOD; that person shall be cut off from kin.

9וּֽבְקֻצְרְכֶם אֶת־קְצִיר אַרְצְכֶם לֹא תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָׂדְךָ לִקְצֹר וְלֶקֶט קְצִֽירְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּֽטWhen you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

11לֹא תִּגְנֹבוּ וְלֹא־תְכַחֲשׁוּ וְלֹֽא־תְשַׁקְּרוּ אִישׁ בַּעֲמִיתֽוֹYou shall not steal; you shall not deal deceitfully or falsely with one another.

12וְלֹֽא־תִשָּׁבְעוּ בִשְׁמִי לַשָּׁקֶר וְחִלַּלְתָּ אֶת־שֵׁם אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽהYou shall not swear falsely by My name, profaning the name of your God: I am the ETERNAL.

13לֹֽא־תַעֲשֹׁק אֶת־רֵֽעֲךָ וְלֹא תִגְזֹל לֹֽא־תָלִין פְּעֻלַּת שָׂכִיר אִתְּךָ עַד־בֹּֽקֶרYou shall not defraud your fellow. You shall not commit robbery. The wages of a laborer shall not remain with you until morning.

14לֹא־תְקַלֵּל חֵרֵשׁ וְלִפְנֵי עִוֵּר לֹא תִתֵּן מִכְשֹׁל וְיָרֵאתָ מֵּאֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽהYou shall not insult the deaf, or place a stumbling block before the blind. You shall fear your God: I am the ETERNAL.

16לֹא־תֵלֵךְ רָכִיל בְּעַמֶּיךָ לֹא תַעֲמֹד עַל־דַּם רֵעֶךָ אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽהDo not deal basely with members of your people. Do not profit by the blood of your fellow: I am GOD.

17לֹֽא־תִשְׂנָא אֶת־אָחִיךָ בִּלְבָבֶךָ הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחַ אֶת־עֲמִיתֶךָ וְלֹא־תִשָּׂא עָלָיו חֵֽטְאYou shall not hate your kinsfolk in your heart. Reprove your kindred but incur no guilt on their account.

18לֹֽא־תִקֹּם וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר אֶת־בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽהYou shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow as yourself: I am GOD.

19אֶֽת־חֻקֹּתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ בְּהֶמְתְּךָ לֹא־תַרְבִּיעַ כִּלְאַיִם שָׂדְךָ לֹא־תִזְרַע כִּלְאָיִם וּבֶגֶד כִּלְאַיִם שַֽׁעַטְנֵז לֹא יַעֲלֶה עָלֶֽיךָYou shall observe My laws. You shall not let your cattle mate with a different kind; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; you shall not put on cloth from a mixture of two kinds of material.

20וְאִישׁ כִּֽי־יִשְׁכַּב אֶת־אִשָּׁה שִׁכְבַת־זֶרַע וְהִוא שִׁפְחָה נֶחֱרֶפֶת לְאִישׁ וְהׇפְדֵּה לֹא נִפְדָּתָה אוֹ חֻפְשָׁהֿ לֹא נִתַּן־לָהּ בִּקֹּרֶת תִּהְיֶה לֹא יוּמְתוּ כִּי־לֹא חֻפָּֽשָׁהIf a man has carnal relations with a woman who is a slave and has been designated for another man, but has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there shall be an indemnity; they shall not, however, be put to death, since she has not been freed.

21וְהֵבִיא אֶת־אֲשָׁמוֹ לַֽיהֹוָה אֶל־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד אֵיל אָשָֽׁםBut he must bring to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, as his reparation offering to GOD, a ram of reparation offering.

38וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽרAnd GOD spoke to Moses:

For I called and none responded, I spoke and none paid heed. They did what I deem evil And chose what I do not want.

5שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה הַחֲרֵדִים אֶל־דְּבָרוֹ אָמְרוּ אֲחֵיכֶם שֹׂנְאֵיכֶם מְנַדֵּיכֶם לְמַעַן שְׁמִי יִכְבַּד יְהֹוָה וְנִרְאֶה בְשִׂמְחַתְכֶם וְהֵם יֵבֹֽשׁוּHear the word of GOD, You who are concerned about God’s word! Your own kindred who hate you, Who spurn you because of Me, are saying, “Let GOD manifest the divine Presence, So that we may look upon your joy.” But theirs shall be the shame.

10שִׂמְחוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְגִילוּ בָהּ כׇּל־אֹהֲבֶיהָ שִׂישׂוּ אִתָּהּ מָשׂוֹשׂ כׇּל־הַמִּֽתְאַבְּלִים עָלֶֽיהָRejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, All you who love her! Join in her jubilation, All you who mourned over her—

11לְמַעַן תִּֽינְקוּ וּשְׂבַעְתֶּם מִשֹּׁד תַּנְחֻמֶיהָ לְמַעַן תָּמֹצּוּ וְהִתְעַנַּגְתֶּם מִזִּיז כְּבוֹדָֽהּThat you may suck from her breast Consolation to the full, That you may draw from her bosom Glory to your delight.

12כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהֹוָה הִנְנִי נֹטֶֽה־אֵלֶיהָ כְּנָהָר שָׁלוֹם וּכְנַחַל שׁוֹטֵף כְּבוֹד גּוֹיִם וִֽינַקְתֶּם עַל־צַד תִּנָּשֵׂאוּ וְעַל־בִּרְכַּיִם תְּשׇׁעֳשָֽׁעוּFor thus said GOD: I will extend to her Prosperity like a stream, The wealth of nations Like a wadi in flood; And you shall drink of it. You shall be carried on shoulders And dandled upon knees

13כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אִמּוֹ תְּנַחֲמֶנּוּ כֵּן אָֽנֹכִי אֲנַחֶמְכֶם וּבִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם תְּנֻחָֽמוּLike one whom a mother comforts. So I will comfort you: You shall find comfort in Jerusalem.

14וּרְאִיתֶם וְשָׂשׂ לִבְּכֶם וְעַצְמוֹתֵיכֶם כַּדֶּשֶׁא תִפְרַחְנָה וְנוֹדְעָה יַד־יְהֹוָה אֶת־עֲבָדָיו וְזָעַם אֶת־אֹיְבָֽיוYou shall see and your heart shall rejoice, Your limbs shall flourish like grass. GOD’s power shall be revealed On behalf of those who render service; But [God] shall rage against all foes.

15כִּֽי־הִנֵּה יְהֹוָה בָּאֵשׁ יָבוֹא וְכַסּוּפָה מַרְכְּבֹתָיו לְהָשִׁיב בְּחֵמָה אַפּוֹ וְגַעֲרָתוֹ בְּלַהֲבֵי־אֵֽשׁSee, GOD is coming with fire— With chariots like a whirlwind— To vent anger in fury, And rebuke in flaming fire.

16כִּי בָאֵשׁ יְהֹוָה נִשְׁפָּט וּבְחַרְבּוֹ אֶת־כׇּל־בָּשָׂר וְרַבּוּ חַֽלְלֵי יְהֹוָֽהFor with fire will contend, With the sword, against all flesh; And many shall be GOD’s slain.

17הַמִּתְקַדְּשִׁים וְהַמִּֽטַּהֲרִים אֶל־הַגַּנּוֹת אַחַר (אחד) [אַחַת] בַּתָּוֶךְ אֹֽכְלֵי בְּשַׂר הַחֲזִיר וְהַשֶּׁקֶץ וְהָעַכְבָּר יַחְדָּו יָסֻפוּ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽהThose who sanctify and purify themselves to enter the groves, imitating one in the center, eating the flesh of the swine, the reptile, and the mouse, shall one and all come to an end—declares GOD.

18וְאָנֹכִי מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶם וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֵיהֶם בָּאָה לְקַבֵּץ אֶת־כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם וְהַלְּשֹׁנוֹת וּבָאוּ וְרָאוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדִֽיFor I [know] their deeds and purposes. [The time] has come to gather all the nations and tongues; they shall come and behold My glory.

19וְשַׂמְתִּי בָהֶם אוֹת וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי מֵהֶם פְּלֵיטִים אֶֽל־הַגּוֹיִם תַּרְשִׁישׁ פּוּל וְלוּד מֹשְׁכֵי קֶשֶׁת תֻּבַל וְיָוָן הָאִיִּים הָרְחֹקִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שָׁמְעוּ אֶת־שִׁמְעִי וְלֹא־רָאוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדִי וְהִגִּידוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדִי בַּגּוֹיִֽםI will set a sign among them, and send from them survivors to the nations: to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud—that draw the bow—to Tubal, Javan, and the distant coasts, that have never heard My fame nor beheld My glory. They shall declare My glory among these nations.

20וְהֵבִיאוּ אֶת־כׇּל־אֲחֵיכֶם מִכׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם מִנְחָה לַיהֹוָה בַּסּוּסִים וּבָרֶכֶב וּבַצַּבִּים וּבַפְּרָדִים וּבַכִּרְכָּרוֹת עַל הַר קׇדְשִׁי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אָמַר יְהֹוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יָבִיאוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה בִּכְלִי טָהוֹר בֵּית יְהֹוָֽהAnd out of all the nations, said GOD, they shall bring all your kindred on horses, in chariots and drays, on mules and dromedaries, to Jerusalem My holy mountain as an offering to GOD—just as the Israelites bring an offering in a pure vessel to the House of GOD.

21וְגַם־מֵהֶם אֶקַּח לַכֹּהֲנִים לַלְוִיִּם אָמַר יְהֹוָֽהAnd from them likewise I will take some to be levitical priests, said GOD.

22כִּי כַאֲשֶׁר הַשָּׁמַיִם הַחֲדָשִׁים וְהָאָרֶץ הַחֲדָשָׁה אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה עֹמְדִים לְפָנַי נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה כֵּן יַעֲמֹד זַרְעֲכֶם וְשִׁמְכֶֽםFor as the new heaven and the new earth That I will make Shall endure by My will —declares GOD— So shall your seed and your name endure.

23וְהָיָה מִֽדֵּי־חֹדֶשׁ בְּחׇדְשׁוֹ וּמִדֵּי שַׁבָּת בְּשַׁבַּתּוֹ יָבוֹא כׇל־בָּשָׂר לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לְפָנַי אָמַר יְהֹוָֽהAnd new moon after new moon, And sabbath after sabbath, All flesh shall come to worship Me —said GOD.

24וְיָצְאוּ וְרָאוּ בְּפִגְרֵי הָאֲנָשִׁים הַפֹּשְׁעִים בִּי כִּי תוֹלַעְתָּם לֹא תָמוּת וְאִשָּׁם לֹא תִכְבֶּה וְהָיוּ דֵרָאוֹן לְכׇל־בָּשָֽׂרThey shall go out and gaze On the corpses of those who rebelled against Me: Their worms shall not die, Nor their fire be quenched; They shall be a horror To all flesh. And new moon after new moon, And sabbath after sabbath, All flesh shall come to worship Me —said GOD.
