| TORAH PORTION Vayikra / Leviticus 1.1-5.26
{1:1} HaSHEM called to Moshe, and spoke to him out of the
Tent of Meeting, saying, {1:2} "Speak to the Bnei Yisrael, and tell them, 'When
anyone of you offers an korban to HaSHEM, you shall offer your offering of the cattle, of
the herd and of the flock. {1:3} If his offering is an olah korban of the herd, he shall
offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Ohel Moed, that he may
be accepted before HaSHEM. {1:4} He shall lay his hand on the head of the olah offering,
and it shall be accepted for him to make Kapparah for him. {1:5} He shall kill the bull
before HaSHEM. Aharon's sons, the cohenim, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood
around on the mizbeah that is at the door of the Ohel Moed. {1:6} He shall flay the
burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces. {1:7} The sons of Aharon the cohen shall put
fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire; {1:8} and Aharon's sons, the
cohenim, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the
fire which is on the altar; {1:9} but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water.
The cohen shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an korban made by fire,
of a sweet savor to HaSHEM. {1:10} If his korban is of the flock, of the sheep, or of the
goats, for an olah offering, he shall offer a male without blemish. {1:11} He shall kill
it on the side of the mizbeah northward before HaSHEM. Aharon's sons, the cohenim, shall
sprinkle its blood around on the altar. {1:12} He shall cut it into its pieces, with its
head and its fat. The cohen shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which
is on the altar, {1:13} but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The cohen
shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar: it is an olah offering, an korban made by
fire, of a sweet savor to HaSHEM. {1:14} If his korban to HaSHEM is an olah korban of
birds, then he shall offer his korban of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons. {1:15} The
cohen shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and
its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar; {1:16} and he shall take away its
crop with its filth, and cast it beside the mizbeah on the east part, in the place of the
ashes: {1:17} and he shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The cohen
shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is an olah offering, an
korban made by fire, of a sweet savor to HaSHEM.
{2:1} "'When anyone offers an korban of a meal-offering to HaSHEM, his korban shall
be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. {2:2} He shall
bring it to Aharon's sons the cohenim; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour,
and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the cohen shall burn the memorial of it on
the altar, an korban made by fire, of a sweet savor to HaSHEM. {2:3} That which is left of
the meal-offering shall be Aharon's and his sons'. It is a most kadosh thing of the
offerings of HaSHEM made by fire. {2:4} When you offer an korban of a meal-offering baked
in the oven, it shall be unchametz cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unchametz
wafers anointed with oil. {2:5} If your korban is a meal-offering of the baking-pan, it
shall be of unchametz fine flour, mingled with oil. {2:6} You shall cut it in pieces, and
pour oil on it. It is a meal-offering. {2:7} If your korban be a meal-offering of the
frying-pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. {2:8} You shall bring the
meal-offering that is made of these things to HaSHEM: and it shall be presented to the
cohen, and he shall bring it to the altar. {2:9} The cohen shall take up from the
meal-offering the memorial of it, and shall burn it on the altar, an korban made by fire,
of a sweet savor to HaSHEM. {2:10} That which is left of the meal-offering shall be
Aharon's and his sons': it is a thing most kadosh of the offerings of HaSHEM made by fire.
{2:11} No meal-offering, which you shall offer to HaSHEM, shall be made with yeast; for
you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an korban made by fire to HaSHEM. {2:12} As an
korban of first -[fruits] you shall offer them to HaSHEM: but they shall not come up for a
sweet savor on the altar. {2:13} every offering of your meal-offering shall you season
with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the brit of your G-D to be lacking from
your meal-offering: with all your offerings you shall offer salt. {2:14} If you offer a
meal-offering of bukirim (firstfruits) to HaSHEM, you shall offer for the meal-offering of
your bukirim (firstfruits) grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh
ear. {2:15} You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meal-offering.
{2:16} The cohen shall burn the memorial of it, part of the bruised grain of it, and part
of the oil of it, with all the frankincense of it: it is an offering made by fire to
HaSHEM.
{3:1} If his korban be a korban of Shalom-offerings; if he offer of the herd, whether male
or female, he shall offer it without blemish before HaSHEM. {3:2} He shall lay his hand on
the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Ohel Moed: and Aharon's sons the
cohenim shall sprinkle the blood on the mizbeah round about. {3:3} He shall offer of the
korban of Shalom-offerings an offering made by fire to HaSHEM; the fat that covers the
inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, {3:4} and the two kidneys, and the fat
that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys,
shall he take away. {3:5} Aharon's sons shall burn it on the altar on the olah offering,
which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an korban made by fire, of a sweet savor
to HaSHEM. {3:6} If his korban for a korban of Shalom-offerings to HaSHEM be of the flock;
male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. {3:7} If he offer a lamb for his
offering, then shall he offer it before HaSHEM; {3:8} and he shall lay his hand on the
head of his offering, and kill it before the Ohel Moed: and Aharon's sons shall sprinkle
the blood of it on the mizbeah round about. {3:9} He shall offer of the sacrifice of
Shalom-offerings an korban made by fire to HaSHEM; the fat of it, the fat tail entire, he
shall take away hard by the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat
that is on the inwards, {3:10} and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is
by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. {3:11} The
cohen shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the korban made by fire to HaSHEM.
{3:12} If his korban be a goat, then he shall offer it before HaSHEM: {3:13} and he shall
lay his hand on the head of it, and kill it before the Ohel Moed; and the sons of Aharon
shall sprinkle the blood of it on the mizbeah round about. {3:14} He shall offer of it his
offering, [even] an korban made by fire to HaSHEM; the fat that covers the inwards, and
all the fat that is on the inwards, {3:15} and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on
them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take
away. {3:16} The cohen shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made
by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is HaSHEM's. {3:17} It shall be a perpetual
statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat
nor blood.
{4:1} HaSHEM spoke to Moshe, saying, {4:2} Speak to the Bnei Yisrael, saying, If anyone
shall chat'at unwittingly, in any of the things which HaSHEM has commanded not to be done,
and shall do any one of them: {4:3} if the anointed cohen shall chat'at so as to bring
guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull
without blemish to HaSHEM for a sin-offering. {4:4} He shall bring the bull to the door of
the Ohel Moed before HaSHEM; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill
the bull before HaSHEM. {4:5} The anointed cohen shall take of the blood of the bull, and
bring it to the Ohel Moed: {4:6} and the cohen shall dip his finger in the blood, and
sprinkle of the blood seven times before HaSHEM, before the veil of the sanctuary. {4:7}
The cohen shall put of the blood on the horns of the mizbeah of sweet incense before
HaSHEM, which is in the Ohel Moed; and all the blood of the bull shall he pour out at the
base of the mizbeah of olah offering, which is at the door of the Ohel Moed. {4:8} All the
fat of the bull of the sin-offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covers the
inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, {4:9} and the two kidneys, and the fat
that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys,
shall he take away, {4:10} as it is taken off from the ox of the korban of
Shalom-offerings: and the cohen shall burn them on the mizbeah of olah offering. {4:11}
The skin of the bull, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its
inwards, and its dung, {4:12} even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to
a tahor place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the
ashes are poured out shall it be burnt. {4:13} If the whole Kahilah of Yisrael err, and
the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which
HaSHEM has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; {4:14} when the chat'at in which they
have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin-offering, and
bring it before the Ohel Moed. {4:15} The elders of the Kahilah shall lay their hands on
the head of the bull before HaSHEM; and the bull shall be killed before HaSHEM. {4:16} The
anointed cohen shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Ohel Moed: {4:17} and the cohen
shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before HaSHEM, before the
veil. {4:18} He shall put of the blood on the horns of the mizbeah which is before HaSHEM,
that is in the Ohel Moed; and all the blood shall he pour out at the base of the mizbeah
of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Ohel Moed. {4:19} All the fat of it shall
he take off from it, and burn it on the altar. {4:20} Thus shall he do with the bull; as
he did with the bull of the sin-offering, so shall he do with this; and the cohen shall
make Kapparah for them, and they shall be forgiven. {4:21} He shall carry forth the bull
outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull: it is the sin-offering for the
assembly. {4:22} When a ruler sins, and does unwittingly any one of all the things which
HaSHEM his G-D has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; {4:23} if his sin, in which he
has sinned, be made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without
blemish. {4:24} He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place
where they kill the burnt-offering before HaSHEM: it is a sin-offering. {4:25} The cohen
shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of
the mizbeah of olah offering; and the blood of it shall he pour out at the base of the
mizbeah of olah offering. {4:26} All the fat of it shall he burn on the altar, as the fat
of the korban of Shalom-offerings; and the cohen shall make Kapparah for him as concerning
his sin, and he shall be forgiven. {4:27} If anyone of the common people chat'at
unwittingly, in doing any of the things which HaSHEM has commanded not to be done, and be
guilty; {4:28} if his sin, which he has sinned, be made known to him, then he shall bring
for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his chat'at which he has sinned.
{4:29} He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and kill the sin-offering in
the place of olah offering. {4:30} The cohen shall take of the blood of it with his
finger, and put it on the horns of the mizbeah of olah offering; and all the blood of it
shall he pour out at the base of the altar. {4:31} All the fat of it shall he take away,
as the fat is taken away from off the korban of Shalom-offerings; and the cohen shall burn
it on the mizbeah for a sweet savor to HaSHEM; and the cohen shall make Kapparah for him,
and he shall be forgiven. {4:32} If he bring a lamb as his korban for a sin-offering, he
shall bring it a female without blemish. {4:33} He shall lay his hand on the head of the
sin-offering, and kill it for a sin-offering in the place where they kill the olah
offering. {4:34} The cohen shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger,
and put it on the horns of the mizbeah of olah offering; and all the blood of it shall he
pour out at the base of the altar: {4:35} and all the fat of it shall he take away, as the
fat of the lamb is taken away from the korban of Shalom-offerings; and the cohen shall
burn them on the altar, on the offerings of HaSHEM made by fire; and the cohen shall make
Kapparah for him as touching his chat'at that he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
{5:1} If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness,
whether he has seen or known, if he doesn't report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
{5:2} Or if anyone touch any tam'ei thing, whether it be the carcass of an tam'ei animal,
or the carcass of tam'ei cattle, or the carcass of tam'ei creeping things, and it be
hidden from him, and he be tam'ei, then he shall be guilty. {5:3} Or if he touch the
tam'ei(ness) of man, whatever his tam'ei(ness) be with which he is tam'ei, and it be hid
from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty. {5:4} Or if anyone swear rashly
with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it be that an ish shall utter rashly
with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one
of these [things]. {5:5} It shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things],
that he shall confess that in which he has sinned: {5:6} and he shall bring his
trespass-offering to HaSHEM for his chat'at which he has sinned, a female from the flock,
a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the cohen shall make Kapparah for him as
concerning his sin. {5:7} If his means aren't sufficient for a lamb, then he shall bring
his trespass-offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young
pigeons, to HaSHEM; one for a sin-offering, and the other for an olah offering. {5:8} He
shall bring them to the cohen, who shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first,
and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it apart: {5:9} and he shall
sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the
blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin-offering. {5:10} He shall
offer the second for an olah offering, according to the huchim; and the cohen shall make
Kapparah for him as concerning his chat'at which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
{5:11} But if his means aren't sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then
he shall bring his korban for that in which he has sinned, the tithe of an ephah of fine
flour for a sin-offering: he shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense
thereon; for it is a sin-offering. {5:12} He shall bring it to the cohen, and the cohen
shall take his handful of it as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, on the
offerings of HaSHEM made by fire: it is a sin-offering. {5:13} The cohen shall make
Kapparah for him as touching his chat'at that he has sinned in any of these things, and he
shall be forgiven: and [the remnant] shall be the cohen's, as the meal-offering. {5:14}
HaSHEM spoke to Moshe, saying, {5:15} If anyone commits a trespass, and sin unwittingly,
in the kadosh things of HaSHEM; then he shall bring his trespass-offering to HaSHEM, a ram
without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after
the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering: {5:16} and he shall make restitution
for that which he has done amiss in the kadosh thing, and shall add the fifth part
thereto, and give it to the cohen; and the cohen shall make Kapparah for him with the ram
of the trespass-offering, and he shall be forgiven. {5:17} If anyone sins, and does any of
the things which HaSHEM has commanded not to be done; though he didn't know it, yet he is
guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. {5:18} He shall bring a ram without blemish out of
the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the cohen; and the
cohen shall make Kapparah for him concerning the thing in which he erred unwittingly and
didn't know it, and he shall be forgiven. {5:19} It is a trespass-offering: he is
certainly guilty before HaSHEM.
{6:1} HaSHEM spoke to Moshe, saying, {6:2} If anyone sins, and commit a trespass against
HaSHEM, and deal falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of
robbery, or have oppressed his neighbor, {6:3} or have found that which was lost, and deal
falsely therein, and swear to a lie; in any of all these things that an ishdoes, sinning
therein; {6:4} then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore
that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the
deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, {6:5} or any thing
about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in full, and shall add the
fifth part more thereto: to him to whom it appertains shall he give it, in the day of his
being found guilty. {6:6} He shall bring his trespass-offering to HaSHEM, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the
cohen: {6:7} and the cohen shall make Kapparah for him before HaSHEM; and he shall be
forgiven concerning whatever he does so as to be guilty thereby.

| HAFTARAH Yeshayahu / Isaiah 43:21- 44:23
43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might
set forth my praise. 43:22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary
of me, Israel. 43:23 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither
have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor
wearied you with frankincense. 43:24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have
you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins.
You have wearied me with your iniquities. 43:25 I, even I, am he who blots out your
transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins. 43:26 Put me in
remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified. 43:27
Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me. 43:28 Therefore
I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a
reviling."
44:1 Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I
have chosen. 44:2 This is what HaShem who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will
help you says: "Don't be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have
chosen. 44:3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I
will pour my Spirit on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring: 44:4 and they will
spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. 44:5 One will say, 'I am
HaShem's;' and another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with
his hand 'to HaShem,' and honor the name of Israel." 44:6 This is what HaShem, the
King of Israel, and his Redeemer, HaShem of Armies, says: "I am the first, and I am
the last; and besides me there is no G-d. 44:7 Who is like me? Who will call, and will
declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them
declare the things that are coming, and that will happen. 44:8 Don't fear, neither be
afraid. Haven't I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is
there a G-d besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don't know any other Rock." 44:9
Everyone who makes an engraved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not
profit. Their own witnesses don't see, nor know, that they may be disappointed. 44:10 Who
has fashioned a G-d, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing? 44:11 Behold, all
his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered
together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together. 44:12 The
blacksmith makes an axe, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with
his strong arm: yes, he is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is
faint. 44:13 The carpenter stretches out a line; he marks it out with a pencil; he shapes
it with planes, and he marks it out with the compasses, and shapes it after the figure of
a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. 44:14 He cuts down cedars
for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the
trees of the forest: he plants a fir tree, and the rain nourishes it. 44:15 Then shall it
be for a man to burn; and he takes of it, and warms himself; yes, he kindles it, and bakes
bread: yes, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it an engraved image, and falls down
to it. 44:16 He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he eats flesh; he roasts
roast, and is satisfied; yes, he warms himself, and says, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the
fire. 44:17 The residue of it he makes a god, even his engraved image; he falls down to it
and worships, and prays to it, and says, Deliver me; for you are my god. 44:18 They don't
know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can't see; and their
hearts, that they can't understand. 44:19 None calls to mind, neither is there knowledge
nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yes, also I have baked
bread on the coals of it; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue
of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 44:20 He feeds on ashes; a
deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not
a lie in my right hand? 44:21 Remember these things, Jacob, and Israel; for you are my
servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: Israel, you shall not be forgotten by me.
44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your
sins: return to me; for I have redeemed you. 44:23 Sing, you heavens, for HaShem has done
it; shout, you lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, you mountains, O
forest, and every tree therein: for HaShem has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in
Israel.
