CH. 30, v. 9. And Moses wrote this Law, and gave it to the Priests the sons of Levi who were carrying the ark of the covenant of Iehouah, and to all the Elders of Israel.

In blessing.

Num. ch. 6, verse 22.

AND Iehouah spoke to Moses, saying,
23 Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel, saying to them,
24 May Iehouah bless you, and guard you:
25 May Iehouah cause his face to shine upon you, and may he have mercy on you:
26 May Iehouah lift up his face to you, and place in you peace.
27 And they shall place my name upon the sons of Israel: and I shall bless them.

In offering.

Which function, because it extends most widely, is defined by these chapters.

WHAT KIND OF VICTIMS THERE OUGHT TO BE.

Levit. ch. 22, verse 18.	Deut. ch. 15, verse 21.
Speak to Aaron and his sons, and all the sons of Israel, and say to them, Whoever from the house of Israel, and from the strangers in Israel shall have offered his offering for all his vows, and for all his spontaneous offerings, which they shall have offered to Iehouah for a burnt offering:	But if there shall be a blemish in it, or it shall be blind or lame, or defiled by any other defect, you shall not sacrifice it to Iehouah your God.
19 By your own will you shall offer an unblemished male, from the oxen, from the lambs, and from the goats.	CH. 17, V. 1. You shall not sacrifice to Iehouah your God an ox, or a lamb, in which there shall be a blemish, or anything of defect: because it is an abomination of Iehouah your God.
20 Everything in which there shall be a blemish, you shall not offer: because it will not be acceptable for you.
21 But a man when he shall have offered a sacrifice of peace offerings to Iehouah, to fulfill a vow, or to offer voluntarily, from the oxen, or from the sheep, if it is unblemished, it shall be acceptable to God, no defect shall be in it.
22 Blind, or broken, or having cut lips, or warty, or scabious, or impetiginous, you shall not offer these to Iehouah, nor shall you give an ignited offering from these upon the altar of Iehouah.
23 And an ox and a small cattle superfluous or diminished, you shall make for a voluntary offering: but for a vow it shall not please.
24 Crushed and bruised, ruptured and cut you shall not offer to Iehouah, and in your land you shall not do so.
25 But from the hand of a foreigner you shall not offer the bread of your God from all these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be acceptable for you.
26 Furthermore, Iehouah spoke to Moses, saying,
27 An ox, or a lamb, or a goat, when it shall have been born, it shall be seven days under its mother: but from the eighth day and thenceforth, it shall be pleasing for the offering of an ignited sacrifice to Iehouah.
28 But an ox or a small cattle, it and its son: you shall not slaughter in one day.

OF THE PERPETUAL FIRE.

Levit. 6, verse 12.

AND the fire which shall be upon the altar, shall be kindled in it, it shall not be extinguished: and the priest shall kindle wood upon it daily in the morning, and he shall arrange upon it the victim of the burnt offering, and he shall burn upon it the fats of the peace offerings.
13 The fire shall burn perpetually upon the altar, it shall not be extinguished.
