Leviticus

Chapter 10

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּiqech֣u beneֽy-'a֠haron nada֨b va'abiyh֜u 'i֣yshsh machetּat֗o vayּitּen֤u bahen֙ 'e֔shsh vayּashsi֥ymu 'ale֖yha qeto֑ret vayּaqeri֜bu lipene֤y yehvah֙ 'e֣shsh zara֔h 'ashshe֧r lo֦ tziua֖h 'otaֽm׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorised fire before the LORD, contrary to his command.

וַיִּקְח֣וּ בְנֵֽי־אַ֠הֲרֹן נָדָ֨ב וַאֲבִיה֜וּא אִ֣ישׁ מַחְתָּת֗וֹ וַיִּתְּנ֤וּ בָהֵן֙ אֵ֔שׁ וַיָּשִׂ֥ימוּ עָלֶ֖יהָ קְטֹ֑רֶת וַיַּקְרִ֜בוּ לִפְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֵ֣שׁ זָרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹ֦א צִוָּ֖ה אֹתָֽם׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vatּe֥tze 'e֛shsh milּipene֥y yehva֖h vatּo֣'kal 'ota֑m vayּamu֖tu lipene֥y yehvaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

וַתֵּ֥צֵא אֵ֛שׁ מִלִּפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה וַתֹּ֣אכַל אוֹתָ֑ם וַיָּמֻ֖תוּ לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֨'mer moshshe֜h 'eֽl-'aharo֗n hu'֩ 'ashsher-dּibּe֨r yehva֤h ׀ le'mor֙ bּiqeroba֣y 'eqּade֔shsh ve'al-pּene֥y kal-ha'a֖m 'ekּabe֑d vayּidּo֖m 'aharoֽn׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Moses then said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke of when he said: ‘Among those who approach me I will be proved holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honoured.’" Aaron remained silent.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן הוּא֩ אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה ׀ לֵאמֹר֙ בִּקְרֹבַ֣י אֶקָּדֵ֔שׁ וְעַל־פְּנֵ֥י כָל־הָעָ֖ם אֶכָּבֵ֑ד וַיִּדֹּ֖ם אַהֲרֹֽן׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּiqera֣ moshshe֗h 'el-miֽyshsha'el֙ ve'e֣l 'eletzapa֔n bּene֥y 'uzּiy'e֖l dּo֣d 'aharo֑n vayּo֣'mer 'alehe֗m qi֠reb֞u shse'֤u 'et-'acheykem֙ me'e֣t pּeney-haqּo֔deshsh 'el-mich֖utz laֽmּachaneֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, "Come here; carry your cousins’ bodies from the front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp."

וַיִּקְרָ֣א מֹשֶׁ֗ה אֶל־מִֽישָׁאֵל֙ וְאֶ֣ל אֶלְצָפָ֔ן בְּנֵ֥י עֻזִּיאֵ֖ל דֹּ֣ד אַהֲרֹ֑ן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם קִ֠רְב֞וּ שְׂא֤וּ אֶת־אֲחֵיכֶם֙ מֵאֵ֣ת פְּנֵי־הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ אֶל־מִח֖וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vaֽyּiqereb֗u vayּishsּa'um֙ bּekutּonota֔m 'el-mich֖utz laֽmּachane֑h kּa'ashshe֖r dּibּe֥r moshsheֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses ordered.

וַֽיִּקְרְב֗וּ וַיִּשָּׂאֻם֙ בְּכֻתֳּנֹתָ֔ם אֶל־מִח֖וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֥ר מֹשֶֽׁה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer moshshe֣h 'eֽl-'aharo֡n ule'ele'azar֩ ule'iֽytama֨r ׀ bּana֜yv rֽa'shsheyke֥m 'al-tּipera֣'u ׀ ubigedeyke֤m loֽ'-tipero֨mu֙ velo֣ tamu֔tu ve'a֥l kּal-ha'eda֖h yiqetzo֑p va'acheykem֙ kּal-bּe֣yt yishsera'e֔l yibekּu֙ 'et-hashsּerepa֔h 'ashshe֖r shsara֥p yehvaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not let your hair become unkempt and do not tear your clothes, or you will die and the LORD will be angry with the whole community. But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn for those the LORD has destroyed by fire.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֣ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֡ן וּלְאֶלְעָזָר֩ וּלְאִֽיתָמָ֨ר ׀ בָּנָ֜יו רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֥ם אַל־תִּפְרָ֣עוּ ׀ וּבִגְדֵיכֶ֤ם לֹֽא־תִפְרֹ֨מוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א תָמֻ֔תוּ וְעַ֥ל כָּל־הָעֵדָ֖ה יִקְצֹ֑ף וַאֲחֵיכֶם֙ כָּל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִבְכּוּ֙ אֶת־הַשְּׂרֵפָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר שָׂרַ֥ף יְהוָֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): umipּetach֩ 'o֨hel mo'e֜d lo֤ teֽtze'u֙ pּen-tּamu֔tu kּiy-shshe֛men mishshecha֥t yehva֖h 'aleyke֑m vaֽyּa'ashs֖u kּideba֥r moshsheֽh׃p

Edified Edition (EDE)Do not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting or you will die, because the LORD’s anointing oil is on you." So they did as Moses said.

וּמִפֶּתַח֩ אֹ֨הֶל מוֹעֵ֜ד לֹ֤א תֵֽצְאוּ֙ פֶּן־תָּמֻ֔תוּ כִּי־שֶׁ֛מֶן מִשְׁחַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֖וּ כִּדְבַ֥ר מֹשֶֽׁה׃פ

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayedabּe֣r yehva֔h 'eֽl-'aharo֖n le'moֽr׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the LORD said to Aaron,

וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): ya֣yin veshsheka֞r 'al-tּe֣shshetּe ׀ 'atּa֣h ׀ ubane֣yka 'itּa֗ke bּebo'ake֛m 'el-'o֥hel mo'e֖d velo֣ tamu֑tu chuqּa֥t 'ola֖m ledoroteykeֽm׃

Edified Edition (EDE)"You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come,

יַ֣יִן וְשֵׁכָ֞ר אַל־תֵּ֣שְׁתְּ ׀ אַתָּ֣ה ׀ וּבָנֶ֣יךָ אִתָּ֗ךְ בְּבֹאֲכֶ֛ם אֶל־אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד וְלֹ֣א תָמֻ֑תוּ חֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): uֽlahabedּi֔yl bּe֥yn haqּo֖deshsh ube֣yn hacho֑l ube֥yn hatּame֖ ube֥yn hatּahֽor׃

Edified Edition (EDE)so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,

וּֽלֲהַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין הַקֹּ֖דֶשׁ וּבֵ֣ין הַחֹ֑ל וּבֵ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֥ין הַטָּהֽוֹר׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): ulehoro֖t 'et-bּene֣y yishsera'e֑l 'e֚t kּal-ha֣chuqּi֔ym 'ashshe֨r dּibּe֧r yehva֛h 'aleyhe֖m bּeyad-moshsheֽh׃p

Edified Edition (EDE)and so you can teach the Israelites all the decrees the LORD has given them through Moses."

וּלְהוֹרֹ֖ת אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַ֣חֻקִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם בְּיַד־מֹשֶֽׁה׃פ

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayedabּe֨r moshshe֜h 'eֽl-'aharo֗n ve'e֣l 'e֠le'azar ve'el-'i֨ytama֥r ׀ bּanayv֮ hanּֽotariym֒ qech֣u 'et-hamּinecha֗h hanּote֨ret֙ me'ishshּe֣y yehva֔h ve'ikel֥uha matzּ֖ot 'e֣tzel hamּizebּe֑cha kּi֛y qo֥deshsh qaֽdashshi֖ym hiֽv'׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Take the grain offering left over from the food offerings presented to the LORD and eat it beside the altar without yeast, for it is most holy.

וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן וְאֶ֣ל אֶ֠לְעָזָר וְאֶל־אִ֨יתָמָ֥ר ׀ בָּנָיו֮ הַנּֽוֹתָרִים֒ קְח֣וּ אֶת־הַמִּנְחָ֗ה הַנּוֹתֶ֨רֶת֙ מֵאִשֵּׁ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וְאִכְל֥וּהָ מַצּ֖וֹת אֵ֣צֶל הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ כִּ֛י קֹ֥דֶשׁ קָֽדָשִׁ֖ים הִֽוא׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): va'akaletּe֤m 'otahּ֙ bּemaq֣om qado֔shsh kּi֣y chaqeka֤ vechaq-bּane֨yka֙ hi֔v me'ishshּe֖y yehva֑h kּiy-ke֖n tzueֽytiy׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings presented to the LORD; for so I have been commanded.

וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֤ם אֹתָהּ֙ בְּמָק֣וֹם קָדֹ֔שׁ כִּ֣י חָקְךָ֤ וְחָק־בָּנֶ֨יךָ֙ הִ֔וא מֵאִשֵּׁ֖י יְהוָ֑ה כִּי־כֵ֖ן צֻוֵּֽיתִי׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): ve'et֩ chaze֨h hatּenupa֜h ve'e֣t ׀ shsh֣oq hatּeruma֗h tּoֽ'kelu֙ bּemaq֣om tah֔or 'atּa֕h ubane֥yka ubenote֖yka 'itּa֑ke kּiֽy-chaqeka֤ vechaq-bּane֨yka֙ nitּen֔u mizּibeche֥y shshaleme֖y bּene֥y yishsera'eֽl׃

Edified Edition (EDE)But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place; they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites’ peace offerings.

וְאֵת֩ חֲזֵ֨ה הַתְּנוּפָ֜ה וְאֵ֣ת ׀ שׁ֣וֹק הַתְּרוּמָ֗ה תֹּֽאכְלוּ֙ בְּמָק֣וֹם טָה֔וֹר אַתָּ֕ה וּבָנֶ֥יךָ וּבְנֹתֶ֖יךָ אִתָּ֑ךְ כִּֽי־חָקְךָ֤ וְחָק־בָּנֶ֨יךָ֙ נִתְּנ֔וּ מִזִּבְחֵ֥י שַׁלְמֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): shsh֣oq hatּeruma֞h vachaze֣h hatּenupa֗h 'a֣l 'ishshּe֤y hachalabiym֙ yabi֔y'u lehani֥yp tּenupa֖h lipene֣y yehva֑h vehaya֨h leka֜ ulebane֤yka 'itּeka֙ lechaq-'ola֔m kּa'ashshe֖r tziua֥h yehvaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)The thigh that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the food offerings, to be waved before the LORD as a wave offering. This will be the perpetual share for you and your children, as the LORD has commanded."

שׁ֣וֹק הַתְּרוּמָ֞ה וַחֲזֵ֣ה הַתְּנוּפָ֗ה עַ֣ל אִשֵּׁ֤י הַחֲלָבִים֙ יָבִ֔יאוּ לְהָנִ֥יף תְּנוּפָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְהָיָ֨ה לְךָ֜ וּלְבָנֶ֤יךָ אִתְּךָ֙ לְחָק־עוֹלָ֔ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): ve'e֣t ׀ shse'i֣yr haֽchatּa֗'t dּaro֥shsh dּara֛shsh moshshe֖h vehinּe֣h shsora֑p va֠yּiqetzop 'al-'ele'aza֤r ve'al-'iֽytamar֙ bּene֣y 'aharo֔n hanּotari֖m le'moֽr׃

Edified Edition (EDE)When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

וְאֵ֣ת ׀ שְׂעִ֣יר הַֽחַטָּ֗את דָּרֹ֥שׁ דָּרַ֛שׁ מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְהִנֵּ֣ה שֹׂרָ֑ף וַ֠יִּקְצֹף עַל־אֶלְעָזָ֤ר וְעַל־אִֽיתָמָר֙ בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן הַנּוֹתָרִ֖ם לֵאמֹֽר׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): madּ֗u'a loֽ'-'akaletּe֤m 'et-haֽchatּa't֙ bּimeq֣om haqּo֔deshsh kּi֛y qo֥deshsh qaֽdashshi֖ym hi֑v ve'ota֣hּ ׀ nata֣n lake֗m lashse't֙ 'et-'avo֣n ha'eda֔h lekapּe֥r 'aleyhe֖m lipene֥y yehvaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)"Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the community by making atonement for them before the LORD.

מַדּ֗וּעַ לֹֽא־אֲכַלְתֶּ֤ם אֶת־הַֽחַטָּאת֙ בִּמְק֣וֹם הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ כִּ֛י קֹ֥דֶשׁ קָֽדָשִׁ֖ים הִ֑וא וְאֹתָ֣הּ ׀ נָתַ֣ן לָכֶ֗ם לָשֵׂאת֙ אֶת־עֲוֺ֣ן הָעֵדָ֔ה לְכַפֵּ֥ר עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Since its blood was not brought into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded."

הֵ֚ן לֹא־הוּבָ֣א אֶת־דָּמָ֔הּ אֶל־הַקֹּ֖דֶשׁ פְּנִ֑ימָה אָכ֨וֹל תֹּאכְל֥וּ אֹתָ֛הּ בַּקֹּ֖דֶשׁ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוֵּֽיתִי׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayedabּe֨r 'aharo֜n 'el-moshshe֗h he֣n ha֠yּom hiqeri֨ybu 'et-chatּa'ta֤m ve'et-'oֽlatam֙ lipene֣y yehva֔h vatּiqere֥'nah 'oti֖y kּa'e֑lּeh ve'aka֤letּiy chatּa't֙ hayּ֔om hayּiyta֖b bּe'eyne֥y yehvaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Aaron replied to Moses, "Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD, and such things as this have happened to me. Would the LORD have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?"

וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה הֵ֣ן הַ֠יּוֹם הִקְרִ֨יבוּ אֶת־חַטָּאתָ֤ם וְאֶת־עֹֽלָתָם֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַתִּקְרֶ֥אנָה אֹתִ֖י כָּאֵ֑לֶּה וְאָכַ֤לְתִּי חַטָּאת֙ הַיּ֔וֹם הַיִּיטַ֖ב בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּishshema֣ moshshe֔h vayּiyta֖b bּe'eynaֽyv׃p

Edified Edition (EDE)When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.

וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע מֹשֶׁ֔ה וַיִּיטַ֖ב בְּעֵינָֽיו׃פ
