1And the Lord said to Moses,

1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel. And thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.

2Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

2Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy.

2Speak unto all the assembly of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Holy shall ye be, for I Jehovah yourGod am holy.

3Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

3Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

3Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.

3Ye shall reverence every man his mother, and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am Jehovah yourGod.

5If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable:

5And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.

5And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.

5And if ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.

6You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day. And whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.

6Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

6It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.

6On the day when ye sacrifice it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow; and that which remaineth until the third day shall be burned with fire.

7If after two days any man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:

7If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

7And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted:

7And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an unclean thing: it shall not be accepted.

8And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord. And that soul shall perish from among his people.

8And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

8but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

8And he that eateth it shall bear his iniquity; for he hath profaned the hallowed thing of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.
