The Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:26–32 ; Numbers 29:7–11)
1Now 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Moshe after the death of two of Aharon’s sons when they approached the presence of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄- YAHUAH. 2 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to Moshe: “Tell your brother Aharon not to enter freely into the Most Set Apart Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the lid of atonement.
3 This is how Aharon is to enter the Set Apart Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are set-apart garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of Yasharal two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 Aharon is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household. 7 Then he shall take the two goats and present them before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 at the entrance to the Tent of Appointment.
8 After Aharon casts lots for the two goats, one for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and the other for the scapegoat, 9 he shall present the goat chosen by lot for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and sacrifice it as a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
11 When Aharon presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering. 12 Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil. 13 He is to put the incense on the fire before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and the cloud of incense will cover the Lid of Atonement above the Witness, so that he will not die. 14 And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the Lid of Atonement; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.
15 Aharon shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the Lid of Atonement and in front of it.
16 So he shall make atonement for the Most Set Apart Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Yasharalites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Appointment which abides among them in the midst of their impurities. 17 No one may be in the Tent of Appointment from the time Aharon goes in to make atonement in the Most Set Apart Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Yasharal.
18 Then he shall go out to the altar that is before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar. 19 He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Yasharalites.
20 When Aharon has finished purifying the Most Set-Apart Place, the Tent of Atonement, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat. 21 Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Yasharalites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
23 Then Aharon is to enter the Tent of Appointment, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Set Apart Place, and leave them there. 24 He is to bathe himself with water in a set apart place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
26 The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.
27 The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Set Apart Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up. 28 The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
29 This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you— 30 because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 – YAHUAH. 31 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
32 The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments 33 and make atonement for the Most Set Apart Place, the Tent of Appointment, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly. 34 This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Yasharalites because of all their sins.”
And all this was done as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had commanded Moshe.
Uayyiqra (Leviticus) Chapter 17
The Place of Sacrifice
1Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to Moshe, 2 “Speak to Aharon, his sons, and all the Yasharalites and tell them this is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has commanded: 3 ‘Anyone from the house of Yasharal who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp or outside of it 4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Appointment to present it as an offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 before His tabernacle—that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.
5 For this reason the Yasharalites will bring to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Appointment and offer them as sacrifices of peace offerings to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 – YAHUAH. 6 The priest will then splatter the blood on the altar of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 at the entrance to the Tent of Appointment and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
7 They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
8 Tell them that if anyone from the house of Yasharal or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice 9 but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Appointment to sacrifice it to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, that man must be cut off from his people.
Laws against Eating Blood
10 If anyone from the house of Yasharal or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I say to the Yasharalites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.’
13 And if any Yasharalite or foreigner living among them hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten, he must drain its blood and cover it with dirt. 14 For the life of all flesh is its blood. Therefore I have told the Yasharalites, ‘You must not eat the blood of any living thing, because the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.’
15 And any person, whether native or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, then he shall bear his iniquity.”
Uayyiqra (Leviticus) Chapter 18
Unlawful Sexual Relations (Matthew 5:27–30)
1Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to Moshe, 2 “Speak to the Yasharalites and tell them: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahym. 3 You must not follow the practices of the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt), where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Kena‛an, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.
4 You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahym. 5 Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
6 None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
7 You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.
8 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.
9 You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
10 You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.
11 You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
12 You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
13 You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.
14 You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.
15 You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.
16 You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.
17 You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.
18 You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.
19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.
20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.
21 You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your Alahym. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.
23 You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.
24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves. 25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you. 27 For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled. 28 So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
29 Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people. 30 You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahym.”

The Sins of Yarushalayim
1Then the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to me, saying, 2 “As for you, son of man, will you judge her? Will you pass judgment on the city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her abominations 3 and tell her that this is what the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself, 4 you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the lands. 5 Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
6 See how every prince of Yasharal within you has used his power to shed blood. 7 Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
8 You have despised My set apart things and profaned My Sabbaths. 9 Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.
10 In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity. 11 One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
12 In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
13 Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst. 14 Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, have spoken, and I will act. 15 I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness. 16 And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.’ ”
The Refining Furnace
17 Then the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, the house of Yasharal has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.19 Therefore this is what the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Yarushalayim.

Members of Messiah
9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of Alahym? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of Alahym. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were set apart, you were justified, in the name of the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤅𐤏 (YAHUSHUA) Messiah and by the Spirit of our Alahym.
12 “Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but Alahym will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Master, and the Master for the body. 14 By His power Alahym raised the Master from the dead, and He will raise us also.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I then take the members of Messiah and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who unites himself with the Master is one with Him in spirit.
The Temple of the Set Apart Spirit (Romans 12:1–8 ; 1 Corinthians 3:16–23)
18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Set Apart Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from Alahym? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore, esteem Alahym with your body.”
