The 613 Commandments
The commandment is holy and righteous and good.
G-d delivered His commandments to Israel and the mixed multitude of non-Israelites that came out of Egypt with them during the Exodus. These commandments have provided structure and order for the lives of hundreds of millions of individuals since G-d gave them at Mt Sinai over three thousand years ago.
As G-d, Himself, declared: For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life. (Deuteronomy 32:47a)
The Hebrew word מִצְווֹת (mitzvot) is often translated into English as "commandment," but it is related to the word צותא (tzavta) meaning to attach or join. It carries the connotation of "together" or "connection". Our Maker has given us instructions for living a life set apart from the average and mundane... a life set apart and connected to Him.

"When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten." (Leviticus 19:23)
"There shall be an opening at its top in the middle of it; around its opening there shall be a binding of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn." (Exodus 28:32)
"You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, or all the produce of the seed which you have sown and the increase of the vineyard will become defiled." (Deuteronomy 22:9)
"But if a man eats a holy gift unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it and shall give the holy gift to the priest." (Leviticus 22:14-15)
"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 die--it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations--" (Leviticus 10:9)
"Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your hiding place!" (Deuteronomy 32:38)
"If the place which the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, then you may slaughter of your herd and flock which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates whatever you desire." (Deuteronomy 12:21)
"But, whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not kill both it and its young in one day." (Leviticus 22:28)
"hen 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." (Leviticus 10:6)
"So when any man from the sons of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth." (Leviticus 17:13)
The blood of animals caught while hunting shall be poured out and covered with dirt.
"The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the LORD'S offerings by fire and His portion." (Deuteronomy 18:1) This commandment is literally that the members of the tribe of Levi have no portion or inheritance in the Land of Israel.
"hen 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." (Leviticus 10:6)
"The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the LORD'S offerings by fire and His portion." (Deuteronomy 18:1) The Levites are forbidden to have any portion with Israel.
"he LORD said to Moses: 'Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die; for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat." (Leviticus 16:2)
"Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it." (Exodus 25:8-9) The literal commandment given to the Israelites was for them to construct a "sanctuary" (Hebrew miqdash: a holy place). Since G-d is a Holy G-d He does not just show up and "hang out" with the Israelites. His Holiness requires a holy space in the midst of the Israelite camp.
"If you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it." (Exodus 20:25) Profane literally means "marked by contempt or irreverence for what is sacred". If the Israelites make an altar of cut stones (i.e. using metal) then they will make the stones (and thus the altar) a common thing. Common things are not treated with the reverence that G-d demands in our activities involving Him.
"You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, or you will die; for the LORD'S anointing oil is upon you.' So they did according to the word of Moses." (Leviticus 10:7)
"And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it.'" (Exodus 20:26) The Levites were commanded not to go up by steps to G-d's altar.
"Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp every leper and everyone having a discharge and everyone who is unclean because of a dead person." (Numbers 5:2)
"'You shall keep My sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am the LORD.
(Leviticus 19:30) The Hebrew word translated here as "revere" literally means "to fear", "to revere", or "to dread".{footnote}Strong’s Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries, Dictionaries of Hebrew and Greek Words taken from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance by James Strong, S.T.D., LL.D., 1890.{/footnote}When we consider the sovereign G-d over all creation dwelling in majesty in the tabernacle it is indeed a place of power, might, and awe. Like we might be in fear and dread around a 10,000 volt high power line, we should have an even greater fear and dread of the Most High dwelling in His sanctuary.Nadab and Abihu (the sons of Aaron the high priest) did not approach G-d and the sanctuary with the appropriate reverence but offered strange fire before Him and they were consumed by fire that went out from His presence (Levitcus 10:1-2). That pictures the consequence of violating this commandment.
"But bring with you also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may be joined with you and serve you, while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony." (Leviticus 19:30) This commandment is literally for Aaron and his sons (the Aaronic priests) to be "before the tent of the testimony" (the Tabernacle). The Hebrew word that might suggest "guarding" [shamar] is not present in this verse. Their presence, however, might suggest guarding in order to prevent injury or harm to those who are improperly prepared to come into the holy precinct of the Tabernacle.
"So you shall attend to the obligations of the sanctuary and the obligations of the altar, so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel." (Numbers 18:5) This commandment is literally for Aaron and his sons (the Aaronic priests) to attend to the obligations [Hebrew: mishmereth- guard, watch, charge, or function] of the sanctuary. The last part of the verse ("so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel") refers to the rebellion of Korah" (Numbers 16 & 17) that was settled by G-d in Numbers 17:8.
"You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations." (Exodus 30:31) Earlier in chapter 30, G-d commands a specific mixture of spices to be created for anointing the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, and the other furniture and utensils of the tabernacle. This verse indicates the commandment is an ongoing and perpetual commandment.While Scripture says the creation of the oil shall be "the work of a perfumer"" (Exodus 30:25) it does not specify a male or female perfumer nor does it specify that a Levitical priest should create it.
"'It shall not be poured on anyone's body, nor shall you make any like it in the same proportions; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. Whoever shall mix any like it or whoever puts any of it on a layman shall be cut off from his people.'" " (Exodus 30:32-33) This commandment is for the sons of Israel (Ex 30:31) and provides a prohibition for them to make any anointing oil in the same proportions as the holy oil described earlier in the chapter (Ex 30:23-24) that is supposed to be made explicitly for the purpose of anointing the Levitical priests, the tabernacle and its furnishings.
"'It shall not be poured on anyone's body, nor shall you make any like it in the same proportions; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you. Whoever shall mix any like it or whoever puts any of it on a layman shall be cut off from his people.'" (Exodus 30:32-33) This passage provides a prohibition against anointing anyone other than the Aaronic priests (Ex 30:30) with an anointing oil made with a specific mixture of spices and specifically prohibits putting any of it on "a layman" [Hebrew: tzur- a stranger or foreigner{footnote}Brown-Driver-Briggs' Hebrew Definitions{/footnote}].
"You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst." (Numbers 5:3)
"The incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the LORD." (Exodus 30:37) This negative commandment provides a prohibition against making incense in the proportions given in Exodus 30:34-35.
"But it shall be when evening approaches, he shall bathe himself with water, and at sundown he may reenter the camp." (Deuteronomy 23:11)
"You shall not offer any strange incense on this altar, or burnt offering or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it.
(Exodus 30:32-33) This commandment provides a prohibition against pouring out anything other than incense upon the golden altar of incense.
"Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the LORD." (Leviticus 22:2)
"The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it." (Exodus 25:15) G-d commanded Moses to build the ark of the covenant. The ark was to have two staves/poles that were placed through rings on the sides of the ark. This commandment instructs us not to remove the staves from the ark.
"No man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if a man has a seminal emission, or if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness; a person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his body in water. But when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for it is his food." (Leviticus 22:4-7)
"They shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it will be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece will not come loose from the ephod." (Exodus 28:28) The commandment indicates that the breastpiece should not "come loose from the ephod". The Hebrew word translated as "come loose" (above) suggests intentional removal. The Hebrew word zachach is literally translated as "shove"{footnote}Strong's Concordance of the Bible- H2118{/footnote} or "remove"{footnote}New American Standard(r) Updated Edition Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible with Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Dictionaries, Copyright (c) 1981, 1998 by The Lockman Foundation. All Rights Reserved.{/footnote}... both intentional acts.
"Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet from it [bronze laver]; when they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they will not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to the LORD." (Exodus 30:19) The priests, the sons of Aaron must wash their hands and feet before ministering in the tabernacle or Temple.
"nly he shall not go in to the veil or come near the altar because he has a defect, so that he will not profane My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.'" (Leviticus 21:23)
"Speak to Aaron, saying, 'No man of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect shall approach to offer the food of his God." (Leviticus 21:17)
