No man shall send to the altar burnt-offering or meat-offering or frankincense or wood through the hand of a man that is unclean through any of the uncleannesses allowing him to defile the altar, for it is written: 'The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, but the prayer of the righteous is like an offering of delight.'

2And none of those who enter into the house of worship shall enter when he is unclean even though washed.

3And when the trumpets of the Congregation sound, it shall be done before or after, and they shall not put an end to the whole service: the Sabbath is holy.

4No man shall lie with a woman in the city of the Sanctuary to defile the city of the Sanctuary by their impurity.

5Any man who is ruled by the spirits of Belial and speaks rebellion shall be judged by the judgment of the necromancer and wizard.

6And he whom he leads astray into profaning the Sabbath and the Feasts shall not be put to death; but it shall be the duty of the sons of man to watch him; and should he be healed of it, they shall watch him seven years and then he shall come into the Congregation.

7None shall stretch out his hand to shed the blood of any man from among the Gentiles for the sake of wealth or gain.

8Nor shall he take aught of their wealth lest they blaspheme, unless by the counsel of the Community of Israel.

9No man shall sell an animal or bird that is clean to the Gentiles, lest they sacrifice them.

10Nor shall he sell them aught from his threshing-floor or his winepress for all his property.

11Nor shall he sell them his manservant or maidservant who entered with him into the covenant of Abraham.

12No man shall make himself abominable with any living creature or creeping thing, by eating of them: or of the defilements of bees or of any living creature that moveth in the waters.

13Nor shall fish be eaten unless they were split alive and their blood was shed.

14But all the locusts after their kind shall come into fire or into water whilst they are still living, for this is the manner of their creation.

15And all wood and stones and dust which are polluted by the uncleanness of man are polluted like them.

16According to their uncleanness shall be unclean he who toucheth them. And every instrument, nail, or peg in the wall which is with the dead in the house shall be unclean, like the uncleanness of an instrument of work.
