Leviticus 17 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Yahawah () dabar (word / matter) to Mashah (Moses), amar (spoke),

2 “Dabar (word / matter) to Aharawan (Aaron), and to his banay (sons), and to all the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel), and amar (spoke) to them: ‘This is the thing which Yahawah () has tzawah (commanded),

3 Whatever ayash (man / husband) there is of the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel), who shachat (kills) a shawar (bull), or kashab (lamb), or iz (goat), in the machanah (camp), or who shachat (kills) it outside the machanah (camp),

4 And hasn't bawaa (come) it to the pathach (door) of the ahal (tent) of Meeting, to qarab (come close) it as an qaraban (offering) to Yahawah () panayam (face) the mashakan (tabernacle) of Yahawah (): dam (blood) shall be chashab (imputed) to that ayash (man / husband). He has shapak (shed) dam (blood); and that ayash (man / husband) shall be karath (cut) off from qarab (among / near) his im (nation / people).

5 This is to the end that the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel) may bawaa (come) their zabachay (sacrifices), which they zabach (sacrifice) in the panayam (face) shadah (field), that they may bawaa (come) them to Yahawah (), to the pathach (door) of the ahal (tent) of Meeting, to the kahan (priest), and zabach (sacrifice) them for sacrifices of shalam (peace) zabachay (offerings) to Yahawah ().

6 The kahan (priest) shall zaraq (sprinkle) the dam (blood) on the mazabach (altar) of Yahawah () at the pathach (door) of the ahal (tent) of Meeting, and qatar (burn) the chalab (fat) for a pleasant aroma to Yahawah ().

7 They shall no more zabach (sacrifice) their zabach (sacrifices) to the shaiyar (goat) idols, achar (other) which they zanah (play) the prostitute. This shall be a chaqah (statute) iwalam (eternity) to them throughout their dawar (generation / age / period).’

8 “You shall amar (said) to them, ‘Any ayash (man / husband) there is of the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel), or of the gar (sojourner / stranger / foreigner) who live as foreigners thawak (midst) them, who ilah (go up / offer) a burnt ilah (offering) or zabach (sacrifice),

9 And doesn't bawaa (come) it to the pathach (door) of the ahal (tent) of Meeting, to ishah (make) it to Yahawah (); that ayash (man / husband) shall be karath (cut) off from his im (nation / people).

10 “‘Any ayash (man / husband) of the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel), or of the gar (sojourner / stranger / foreigner) who live as foreigners thawak (midst) them, who akal (eat) any kind of dam (blood), I will nathan (give) my panayam (face) against that napash (soul) who akal (eat) dam (blood), and will karath (cut) him off from qarab (among / near) his im (nation / people).

11 For the napash (soul) of the bashar (flesh) is in the dam (blood); and I nathan (give) given it to you on the mazabach (altar) to make kapar (atonement) for your napash (soul): for it is the dam (blood) that makes kapar (atonement) by reason of the napash (soul).

12 Therefore I have amar (said) to the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel), “No napash (soul) among you shall akal (eat) dam (blood), neither shall any gar (sojourner / stranger / foreigner) who lives as a foreigner thawak (midst) you akal (eat) dam (blood).”

13 “‘Whatever ayash (man / husband) there is of the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel), or of the gar (sojourner / stranger / foreigner) who live as foreigners thawak (midst) them, who takes in tzawad (hunting) any animal or iwap (flying) that may be akal (eat); he shall shapak (pour) out its dam (blood), and kasah (cover) it with ipar (dust).

14 For as to the napash (soul) of all bashar (flesh), its dam (blood) is with its napash (soul): therefore I amar (said) to the banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel), “You shall not akal (eat) the dam (blood) of any bashar (flesh) of flesh; for the napash (soul) of all bashar (flesh) is its dam (blood). Whoever thaakalaw (eats) it shall be karath (cut) off.”

15 “‘Every napash (soul) that akal (eat) what dies of itself, or that which is tarapah (torn) by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall kabas (wash) his clothes, and bathe himself in mayam (Waters), and be tamaa (unclean) until the irab (evening): then he shall be tahar (clean).

16 But if he doesn't kabas (wash) them, or rachatz (bathe) his bashar (flesh), then he shall nashaa (lift) his iwan (guilt/iniquity).’”
