And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of His peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the Soul that eateth of it shall bear His iniquity.

But the Soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having His uncleanness upon him, even that Soul shall be cut off from His people.

And every Soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash His clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear His iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that Soul shall be cut off from among His people.

And the Soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that Soul, and will cut him off from among His people.

Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having His uncleanness upon him, that Soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.

The Soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash His flesh with water.

• Servant

But if the priest buy any Soul with His money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in His house: they shall eat of His meat.

For whatsoever Soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among His people.

And whatsoever Soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same Soul will I destroy from among His people.

But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same Soul shall be cut off from among His people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in His appointed season, that man shall bear His sin.

But the Soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that Soul shall be cut off from among His people.

Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken His commandment, that Soul shall utterly be cut off; His iniquity shall be upon him.

Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that Soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; His uncleanness is yet upon him.

If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind His Soul with a bond; he shall not break His word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of His mouth.

And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her Soul, and her father shall hold His peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her Soul shall stand.

And her husband heard it, and held His peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her Soul shall stand.

And her husband heard it, and held His peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her Soul shall stand.

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? read more But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. show less
