¹⁹ `And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for you unto the land of the possession of Jehovah, where the tabernacle of Jehovah hath tabernacled, and have possession in our midst; and against Jehovah rebel not, and against us rebel not, by your building for you an altar, besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

¹ And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled `at' Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.

⁸ and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;

⁹ and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common.

¹⁴ And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;'

¹⁵ and `there is' a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'

¹⁷ therefore thus said Jehovah: Thy wife in the city doth go a-whoring, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do fall, And thy land by line is apportioned, And thou on an unclean land diest, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.'

¹⁶ and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father.

²⁵ and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:

²⁶ and ye -- ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not `any' of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done who `are' before you, and the land is defiled),

²⁸ and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which `is' before you;

⁸ `And unto them thou sayest: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who sojourneth in your midst, who causeth burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,

⁹ and unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring it in to make it to Jehovah -- that man hath been cut off from his people.

¹⁷ Thou dost bring them in, And dost plant them In a mountain of Thine inheritance, A fixed place for Thy dwelling Thou hast made, O Jehovah; A sanctuary, O Lord, Thy hands have established;
