Leviticus in E-Prime with Interlinear Hebrew in IPA
NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher, we use John teaches. ), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet,
we use The apple tastes sweet.), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man, we use God blesses the man.). By performing these linguistic
procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers

The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%
phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.
Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable
elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble
continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as
they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

meeting, and eat it there together with the bread which we find in the basket of the
ordination offering, just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'
vajomr mo l aharon v-l banav balu t habasar

And said Moses unto Aaron and unto his sons Boil the flesh

Aaron Offers Sacrifices

1
Now it came about on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of
Israel;
vajhi bajom hamini kara mo l-aharon ulvanav

And it came to pass on the day eighth [that] called Moses Aaron and the sons
ulzikne jisrael
and the elders of Israel
2
and he said to Aaron, Take for yourself a calf, a bull, for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt
offering, both without defect, and offer them before the LORD.

And he said unto Aaron Take to you a calf a son of a head of cattle

and offer [them] before the LORD.
3
"Then to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, 'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a

and also a bull and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the LORD
umina blula baamn ki hajom jav nira alem

and a grain offering mixed with oil for today the LORD will appear unto you.
5
So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole
congregation came near and stood before the LORD.
vajikhu et ar tsiva mo l pne

And they brought that which commanded Moses before the face of
ohl mo-ed vajikrvu kal ha-eda vaja-amdu

Moses said, "This the LORD has commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may
appear to you."
vajomr mo z hadavar ar tsiva jav ta-asu

And said Moses This [is] the thing that commanded the LORD that you should do
vjera alem kvod jav

that shall appear unto you the glory of the LORD.

7
Moses then said to Aaron, "Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt
offering that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then make the
offering for the people, that you may make atonement for them, just as the LORD has
commanded."
vajomr mo l aharon krav l hamizbea va-ase t

And said Moses unto Aaron Go unto the altar and offer

8
So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering which he offered
for himself.
vajikrav aharon l hamizbe-a vajiat t egl haatat

therefore went Aaron unto the altar and slew the calf of the sin offering
ar lo

9
Aaron's sons presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood and put some

And brought the sons of Aaron the blood unto him and he dipped his finger

63
10
The fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver of the sin offering, he then offered up in
smoke on the altar just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

The flesh and the skin, however, he burned with fire outside the camp.

Then he slaughtered the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons handed the blood to him and he
sprinkled it around on the altar.

And he slew the burnt offering and presented sons of Aaron unto him
hadam vajizrkehu al hamizbe-a saviv

And he did wash the innards and the legs and burned [them] with

offered for the people, and slaughtered it and offered it for sin, like the first.

And he brought the offering of the people and he took the goat the sin offering

And he brought the burnt offering and offered according to the rule.

And he brought the grain offering and took a handful from [it] and burnt [it]

18
Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings which was for the
people; and Aaron's sons handed the blood to him and he sprinkled it around on the altar.
vajiat t haor v-t ha-ajil zva halamim ar

and He slew the bull and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings that [were]

And they put the fat on the breasts and be burned the fat

and the breasts and the shoulder right waved Aaron [for] a wave offering before

And lifted up Aaron his hand toward the people and blessed them

The Sin of Nadab and Abihu

1
Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting

not commanded them.

3
Then Moses said to Aaron, "The LORD spoke, saying,
'By those who come near Me will I treat as holy,
And before all the people you will honor me.'"
So Aaron, therefore, kept silent.
vajomr mo l aharon hu ar dibr jav lemor

Then said Moses unto Aaron This [is] that which spoke the LORD saying

Moses called also to Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and said to
them, "Come forward, carry your relatives away from the front of the sanctuary to the
outside of the camp."

Moses had said.
vajikrvu vajisa-un butonotam l mius lamaan ka-ar

so they went near and carried them in their coats toward outside of the camp as

had said Moses.
6
Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, Do not uncover your heads
nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not become wrathful
against all the congregation. But your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail
the burning which the LORD has brought about.

"You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, or you will die; for the

and from the door of the tent of meeting not go out lest you die for the oil

The LORD then spoke to Aaron, saying,

and spoke God unto Aaron saying.
9
"Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into
the tent of meeting, so that you will not dieconsider it a perpetual statute throughout

ulhorot t bne jisra-el et kal haukim ar dibr

that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes that has spoken

12
Then Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his surviving sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Take the grain
offering that remains from the LORD'S offerings by fire and eat it unleavened beside the
altar, for we consider it most holy.
vajdaber mo l aharon v-l lazar v-l itamar banav

"The thigh offered by lifting up and the breast offered by waving they shall bring along with

so you shall receive this thing perpetually due you and your sons with you, just as the
LORD has commanded."

16
But Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had burned up!
So he became angry with Aaron's surviving sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,
v-et s-ir haatat daro dara mo vhine soraf

and the goat of the sin offering diligently sought Moses and behold it was burnt

hen lo huva t dama l hakod pnima akol

Behold not was brought the blood into the sanctuary inner part Certainly

19
But Aaron spoke to Moses, "Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their

sin offering today, would the LORD have considered it good?"
vajdaber aharon l mo hen hajom hikrivu t
