 the sweet plants himself from the rocks and let her eat out of his hand. This pleased the little goat best of all. She rubbed her head quite contentedly from time to time against Moni’s shoulder and bleated happily. So the whole morning passed, before Moni noticed, from his own hunger, that it had grown late before he was aware of it. But he had left his luncheon below near the Pulpit-rock, in the little hole, for he had intended to return again at noon.

“Well, you have had your fill of good things, and I have had nothing,” he said to his goats. “Now I must have something too, and you will find enough more down below. Come along!” Whereupon he gave a loud whistle, and the whole flock started away, the liveliest always ahead, and first of all light-footed Swallow, who was to meet something unexpected to-day. She sprang down from stone to stone and across many a cleft in the rocks, but all at once she could go no farther—directly in front of her suddenly stood a chamois and gazed with curiosity into her face. This had never happened to Swallow before! She stood still, looked questioningly at the stranger and waited for the chamois to get out of her way and let her leap to the boulder, as she intended. But the chamois did not stir and gazed boldly into Swallow’s eyes. So they stood facing each other, more

“Opinions are said to be of two kinds, one founded on the authority of the Dayubhagu, and the other opposed to it; (but) what is opposed to the Dayubhagu is not approved of by the learned.”

6. From a regard for the usages of the country, the practice of the British courts in Bengal, as far as relates to the law of inheritance, has been hitherto consistent with the principles laid down in the Dayubhagu, and judgments have accordingly been given on its authority in many most important cases, in which it differs materially from the Mitakshura. I notice a few important cases of frequent occurrence, which have been fully discussed, and invariably decided by the judicial tribunals in Bengal, in conformity with the doctrines of Jeemootvahun.

First. If a member of an undivided family dies, leaving no male issue, his widow shall not be entitled to her husband’s share, according to the Mitakshura: but according to the Dayubhagu, she shall inherit such undivided portion.

Rh Second. A childless widow, inheriting the property of her deceased husband, is authorized to dispose of it, according to the Mitakshura: but according to the Dayubhagu, she is not entitled to sell or give it away.

Third. If a man dies, leaving one daughter having issue, and another without issue, the latter shall inherit the property left by her father, according to the Mitakshura; while the former shall receive it, according to the DyaubhaguDayubhagu [sic].

Fourth. If a man dies without issue or brothers, leaving a sister’s son and a paternal uncle, the latter is entitled

Fifth. A man, having a share of undivided real property, is not authorized to make a sale or gift of it without the consent of the rest of his partners, according to the Mitakshura; but according to the Dayubhagu, behe [sic] can dispose of it at his free will.

Sixth. A man in possession of ancestral real property, though not under any tenure limiting it to the successive generations of his family, is not authorized to disppse of it, by sale or gift, without the consent of his sons and grandsons, according to the Mitakshura; while, according to the Dayubhagu, he has the power to alienate the property at his free will.

Rh 7. Numerous precedents in the decisions of the civil courts in Bengal, and confirmations on appeal by the King in council, clearly shew that the exposition of the law by the author of the Dayubhagu, as to the last mentioned point, so far from being regarded as a dead letter, has been equally, as in other points, recognized and adopted by the judicial authorities both here and in England. The consequence has been, that in the transfer of immoveable property the natives of Bengal have hitherto firmly relied on those judicial decisions as confirming the ancient usages of the country, and that large sums of money have consequently been laid out in purchase of land without reference to any distinction between acquired and ancestral property.

Wikisource:WikiProject Geographic Portals

This project aims to improve Wikisource's structure of geographic portals, especially where more local jurisdictions (like counties, cities, towns, etc.) are concerned.

Traditionally, Wikisource portals have focused on larger geographic entities (countries or primary jurisdictions of countries), for example Portal:Germany, Portal:United States, Portal:Ohio, Portal:California, etc. But, the purpose of this project (as it exists now) is to create portals en masse for smaller jurisdictions such as counties and cities.

For now, I want to focus on counties in the United States, and some of their more populous cities and towns.

Justification for those skeptical of the process
Some editors may believe that the amount of works available for most US counties and small towns is too miniscule for them to deserve a portal of their own. But I vehemently disagree. To this I only need to respond with the inherent insane abundance of public-domain materials associated with most local areas.

Communities in the US (such as counties) usually have local newspapers, which generally have issues dating back hundreds of years. So, (at least in theory), there is usually somewhere around 100-200 years worth of newspapers for us to transcribe, which may encapsulate tens of thousands of individual issues, and hundreds of thousands of total articles to transcribe. This is definitely no small number of works to be associated with a particular local area, then...

Then we have county/city ordinances and legal materials, most of which are in the public domain simply due to being edicts of governments. These materials may also include meeting minutes and other meeting-related materials, due to recent legal findings. Given that these local governments have existed since their inception (generally 100+ years ago also, depending on the state), this would theoretically be yet another rabbithole of at minimum tens of thousands of individual works to transcribe. We're talking about town laws that could in some cases date back to the 1700s (if they were on the East Coast and colonial).

Structure of these portals

 * (Assuming counties, since that's what we're gonna do first)

Every county portal will have US county portal attached to it, which will be

This is an outline of what the sections will look like.

 * County government
 * Ordinances
 * Complete list of ordinances
 * Meeting minutes
 * Complete list of meeting minutes

 * Local media
 * Newspapers
 * Periodicals
 * [etc]

 * Encyclopedia articles
 * Fiction [works set in the county, generally]
 * [etc]

At the bottom:

Preparation for transcription
I generally want to provide an External scan link to some sources where an abundance of certain legal materials (such as ordinances, meeting minutes) can be found on the web. This will usually be somewhere at the jurisdiction's official website (but not always). These external archive links will (hopefully) be used later by someone interested in scraping public-domain materials from the sites.

The materials will mostly be in the public domain, so the ordinances/minutes/etc. should eventually be downloaded, reviewed for potential copyrighted material, uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and comprehensively listed at subpages of the county portal (as mentioned above).

 and more obstinate, and might have stood there until now, if the big Sultan had not come along in the meantime. As soon as he saw the state of things, he stepped quite considerately past Swallow and suddenly pushed the chamois aside so far and with such violence, that she had to make a daring leap, not to fall down over the rocks. Swallow went triumphantly on her way, and the Sultan marched proudly and contentedly behind her, for he felt himself to be the sure protector of the goats in his flock.

Meanwhile Moni coming down from above, and another goat-boy coming up from below, met at the same spot and looked at each other in astonishment. But they were well acquainted, and after the first surprise greeted each other cordially. It was Jörgli from Küblis. Half the morning he had been looking in vain for Moni and now he met him up here, where he had not expected to find him.

“I didn’t suppose you came up so high with the goats,” said Jörgli.

“To be sure I do,” replied Moni, “but not always; usually I stay by the Pulpit-rock and around there. Why have you come up here?”

“To make you a visit,” was the reply. “I have something to tell you. Besides, I have two goats here, that I am bringing to the landlord at the Baths. He is going to buy one, and so I thought I would come up to see you.”

   play two of the writer's principal moral conceptions. The first is the idea of a great heroic action coming in a sense from nowhere; that is, not coming from any commonplace motive; being born in the soul in naked beauty, coming with its own authority and testifying only to itself. Shaw's agent does not act towards something, but from something. The hero dies, not because he desires heroism, but because he has it. So in this particular play the Devil's Disciple finds that his own nature will not permit him to put the rope around another man's neck; he has no reasons of desire, affection, or even equity; his death is a sort of divine whim. And in connection with this the dramatist introduces another favourite moral; the objection to perpetual playing upon the motive of sex. He deliberately lures the onlooker into the net of Cupid in order to tell him with salutary decision that Cupid is not there at all. Millions of melodramatic dramatists have made a man face death for the woman he loves; Shaw makes him face death for the woman he does not love—merely in order to put woman in her place. He objects to that idolatry of sexualism which makes it the fountain of all forcible enthusiasms; he dislikes the amorous

 “Are they your own goats?” asked Moni.

“Surely, they are ours. I don’t tend strange ones any longer. I am not a goat-boy now.”

Moni was very much surprised at this, for Jörgli had become the goat-boy of Küblis at the same time he had been made goat-boy of Fideris, and Moni did not understand how Jörgli could give it up without a single murmur.

Meanwhile the goat-boys and their flocks had reached the Pulpit-rock. Moni brought out bread and a small piece of dried meat and invited Jörgli to share his midday meal. They both sat down on the Pulpit-rock and ate heartily, for it had grown very late and they had excellent appetites. When everything was eaten and they had drunk a little goat's milk, Jörgli comfortably stretched himself at full length on the ground, and rested his head on both arms, but Moni remained sitting, for he always liked to look down into the deep valley below.

“But what are you now, Jörgli, if you are no longer goat-boy?” began Moni. “You must be something.”

“Surely I am something, and something very good,” replied Jörgli, “I am egg-boy. Every day I carry eggs to all the hotels, as far as I can go; I come up here to the Bath House, too. Yesterday I was there.”

August the 6th was regarded as a red-letter day in the history of Marlborough, for it marked the completion of the first section of the provincial hydro-electrieal scheme, and the switching on of power and lighting current in Blenheim and the surrounding districts, known, for convenience’s sake, as ‘‘The Delta’’ area.

Reticulation is proceeding apace in other parts of the province, and it is anticipated that within a few months electricity will be available in all parts of Marlborough, from Ward in the south to Rai Valley, at the opposite end of the province.

The harnessing of the Waihopai River, at a point abont 25 miles from Blenheim, and the erection of transmission and reticulation lines, is expected to involve an expenditure of something in the neighborhood of £275,000, which sum has been borrowed by the Marlborough Electric Power Board. To meet interest and sinking fund charges on this loan, and to pay running expenses and allow for depreciation, an annual revenue of about £35,000 will be required.

The scheme will develop more than sufficient power for the requirements of the province for some years to come, and is capable of extension as the demand for power grows. In a word, there is power, and to spare, and all that is required to make the Waihopai scheme a financial success is that the people should make use of it.

£35,000 per annum has to be found, and it rests with the ratepayers as to whether they will use £35,000 worth and secure all the benefits of electricity, or whether they will find the money by way of rates.

It has been found that after two or three years almost every electrical undertaking in New Zealand has paid its way; but the Marlborough Electric Power Board confidently anticipates that the Waihopai scheme will pay from the start, being assured, as it is, of the active co-operation of the ratepayers.

N these days of its wide application, there is hardly any need to extol the virtues of electricity in the service of man. It is an established fact that no energy yet discovered is of more universal use; wherever men and women toil there will be found a use for this power, be it in the home, the farm, or the factory. In a word, it is the universal servant of mankind.

The Marlborough Electric Power Board is not a private company established to make all the profits it can out of consumers; but it is a co-operative undertaking, in which every ratepayer in the district is a shareholder. The Board has been elected on a wide franchise by the ratepayers, and is in existence for the good of every inhabitant in the district. The Board has only to pay its way, and therefore is in a position to distribute electricity without looking for a profit. In the course of a few years profits will accrue, but these will be handed back to the consumers, in one way or another ― either by increasing facilities, or by reducing the rates charged for the current. The more consumers there are, the cheaper can current be supplied; but it requires the whole-hearted co-operation of all to bring about the desired end.

Experience in other districts has shown that the ratepayers are sometimes slow to grasp the opportunities offered to them, and are prone to overlook their share of responsibility in the Boards’ undertakings. It has generally been found that for the first two or three years there are great financial difficulties to be faced, due to the delay in securing sufficient consumers to place the schemes on a payable footing, and, in order to overeome this as far as possible, the Marlborough Power Board, ever sinee the ineeption of the Waihopai scheme, has employed canvassing contractors, who have covered the district in an endeavor to enrol sufficient consumers to make the scheme payable from the start. With the same object, the Board has arranged a system under which it pays the initial cost of wiring-up

 Moni shook his head. “That’s nothing. I wouldn’t be an egg-boy; I would a thousand times rather be goat-boy, it is much finer.”

“But why?”

“Eggs are not alive, you can’t speak a word to them, and they don’t run after you like the goats which are glad to see you when you come, and are fond of you, and understand every word you say to them; you can’t have any pleasure with eggs as you can with the goats up here.”

“Yes, and you,” interrupted Jörgli, “what great pleasure do you have up here? Just now you have had to get up six times while we were eating, just on account of that silly kid, to prevent it from falling down below—is that a pleasure?”

“Yes, I like to do that! Isn’t it so, Mäggerli? Come! Come here!” Moni jumped up and ran after the kid, for it was making dangerous leaps for sheer joy. When he sat down again, Jörgli said:

“There is another way to keep the young goats from falling over the rocks, without having to be always jumping after them, as you do.”

“What is it?” asked Moni.

“Drive a stick firmly into the ground and fasten the goat by the leg to it; she will kick furiously, but she can’t get away.”

“You needn’t think I would do any such thing

Page Two would-be consumers’ premises, the consumers repaying the Board by instalments spread over an extended period. The canvassers have met with a fair measure of success in their efforts, and the Board’s scheme of finance for consumers has been fairly freely availed of, so that there are already over a thousand consumers all ready to-day to use electricity from the instant it is made available.

But, satisfactory though this may seem at first glance, the Board is still a long way short of the number of consumers requisite to place the scheme on an immediately payable basis. A revenue of something over £35,000 a year has to be earned to make Waihopai pay, and at least 2000 consumers will have to be linked up before this objective can be attained. The Board, therefore, urges on the ratepayers the necessity for their active co-operation, and desires to impress upon them that it is their co-operative scheme, and that it is in their direct interest to help it to pay its way. The ratepayers can co-operate with the Board by using electricity themselves and by urging others to do likewise. There is plenty of current available for the whole of the province; but, in the early stages of the scheme, considerably more than half of it will be going to waste. In other words, it would cost the Board no more to produce the 1000 k.w. of which Waihopai is capable in its present stage of development than to produce the comparatively small amount of electricity which will be required from to-day.

The probable revenue which the Board will obtain from the sale of current has been carefully investigated by means of an actual survey of the whole district, wherein every farm has been located and placed on a map, and every house and factory counted and considered. It was ascertained that there were some 3009 houses in the district, to say nothing of numerous factories and workshops where power will be required; and also disregarding the use of electricity for milking machines, shearing machines, etc. There is quite obviously a good market for the sale of the electrical energy produced, and the Board is asking for the active co-operation of each and every ratepayer, it being quite clear that that is all that is required to make the scheme a financial success.

The first areas to be connected up with the scheme are the Borough of Blenheim and the districts lying between Blenheim and the source of supply at Benopai, and these areas, being closely settled, are expected to bring in profits almost at once. A transmission line is now being run to the Awatere districts, and in due course the Pelorus Valley, the Wairau Valley, the Picton Road district, and all other parts of the province within the scope of the scheme will be linked up. If in any district it is found that the prospective demand for current is not sufficient to warrant running a line, the districts will uot be reticulated until such time as the Board is satisfied that the line can be made to pay, and in some cases — notably in the Awatere — the Board has required guarantees from groups of settlers that they will use sufficient energy to make the reticulation of their areas a payable proposition. There is authority, under the Electric Power Boards Act, for the Board to levy a rate on those non-consumers who may have the opportunity of using electricity, but will not avail themselves of it. However, it is not thought that it will be necessary to exercise this authority in Marlborough, as all the indications are that once electricity is switched on in the various districts, farmers and others will be only too willing to take advantage of it.

 pursuit of this object he encountered the most imminent perils, and underwent incredible fatigues, hunger, sickness, and solitude. The license of savage passion, and the artifices of his depraved countrymen, all opposed themselves to his progress. His courage did not forsake him till there appeared no reasonable ground to hope for success. He desisted not till his heart was relieved from the supposed obligation to persevere. With a constitution somewhat decayed, he at length returned to his family. An interval of tranquillity succeeded. He was frugal, regular, and strict in the performance of domestic duties. He allied himself with no sect, because he perfectly agreed with none. Social worship is that by which they are all distinguished; but this article found no place in his creed. He rigidly interpreted that precept which enjoins us, when we worship, to retire into solitude, and shut out every species of society. According to him, devotion was not only a silent office, but must be performed alone. An hour at noon and an hour at midnight were thus appropriated.

At the distance of three hundred yards from his house, on the top of a rock whose sides were steep, rugged, and encumbered with dwarf cedars and stony asperities, he built what to a common eye would have seemed a summerhouse. The eastern verge of this precipice was sixty feet above the river which flowed at its foot. The view before it consisted of a transparent current, fluctuating and rippling in a rocky channel, and bounded by a rising scene of cornfields and orchards. The edifice was slight and airy. It was no more than a circular area, twelve feet in diameter, whose flooring was the rock, cleared of moss and shrubs, and exactly levelled, edged by twelve Tuscan columns, and covered by an undulating dome. My father furnished the dimensions and outlines, but allowed the artist, whom he employed, to complete the structure on his own plan. It was without seat, table, or ornament of any kind.

This was the temple of his Deity. Twice in twenty-four hours he repaired hither, unaccompanied by any human being. Nothing but physical inability to move was allowed to obstruct or postpone this visit. He did not exact from his family compliance with his example. Few men, equally sincere in their faith, were as sparing in their censures and

 toward the true poles of the world, do not always seek those fixed and definite points, or remain on the line of the true meridian; but usually diverge some distance to the East or to the West. Sometimes also at certain places on land or sea they do indicate exactly the true poles. This discrepancy is called the Variation of the iron or of the loadstone; and since this is brought about by other causes, and is merely a certain disturbance and perversion of the true direction, we are directing our attention in this place to the true direction of the compass and of the magnetick iron (which would be equally toward the true poles and on the true meridian everywhere on the earth, unless other obstacles and an untoward pervertency hindered it). Of its variation and the cause of the perversion we shall treat in the next book. Those who wrote about the world and about natural philosophy a century ago, especially those remarkable elementary philosophers, and all those who trace their knowledge and training to them down to our own times, those men, I say, who represented the earth as always at rest and, as it were, a useless weight, placed in the centre of the universe at an equal distance from the sky on every side, and its nature to be simple, imbued only with the qualities of dryness and cold, sought diligently for the causes of all things and of all effects in the heavens, the stars, the planets, in fire, air, waters and substances of mixed natures. Never indeed did they recognize that the terrestrial globe had, besides dryness and cold, some special, effective, and predominant properties, strengthening, directing, and moving the globe itself through its whole mass and its very deepest vitals; nor did they ever inquire whether there were any such. For this reason the crowd of philosophizers, in order to discover the reasons of the magnetical motions, called up causes lying remote and far away. And one man seems to me beyond all others worthy of censure, Martin Cortes, who, since there was no cause which could satisfy him in the whole of nature, dreamed that there was a point of magnetical attraction beyond the heavens, which attracted iron. Peter Peregrinus thinks that the direction arises from the poles of the sky. Cardan thought that the turning of iron was caused by a star in the tail of the Great Bear; Bessard, the Frenchman, opines that a magnetick turns toward the pole of the zodiack. Marsilius Ficinus will have it that the loadstone follows its own Arctick pole; but that iron follows the loadstone, straws amber; whilst this perhaps follows the Antarctick pole—a most foolish dream. Others have recourse to I know not what magnetick rocks and mountains. Thus it is always customary with mortals, that they despise things near home, whilst foreign and distant things are dear and prized. But we study the earth itself and observe in it the cause of so great an effect. The earth, as the common mother, has these causes inclosed in her innermost parts; in accordance with her rule,

 position, condition, verticity, poles, æquator, horizons, meridians, centre, circumference, diameter, and the nature of the whole interior of her substance, must all magnetical motions be discussed. The earth has been ordered by the highest Artificer and by nature in such a way that it should have parts dissimilar in position, bounds of the whole and complete body, ennobled by certain functions, by which it might itself remain in a definite direction. For just as a loadstone, when it is floated on water in a suitable vessel, or is hung by slender threads in the air, by its implanted verticity conforms its poles to the poles of the common mother in accordance with magnetick laws; so if the earth were to deviate from its natural direction and its true position in the universe, or if its poles were to be drawn aside (if this were possible) toward the sun-rising or the sun-setting or toward any other points whatsoever in the visible firmament, they would return again to the north and south by magnetical motion, and would settle at the same points at which they are now fixed. The reason why the terrestrial globe seems to remain more steadily with the one pole toward those parts and directed toward the Cynosure, and why its pole diverges by 23 degrees 29 minutes, with a certain variation not sufficiently investigated as yet by Astronomers, from the poles of the ecliptick, depends on its virtue magnetical. The causes of the precession of the æquinoxes and the progression of the fixed stars, and of the change, moreover, in the declinations of the sun and of the tropicks, must be sought from magnetick influences; so that neither that absurd motion of trepidation of Thebit Bencora, which is at great variance with observations, nor the monstrous superstructures of other heavens, are any longer needed. A versatory iron turns to the position of the earth, and if disturbed ever so often returns always to the same points. For in the far regions of the north, in a latitude of 70 or 80 degrees (to which at the milder seasons of the year our sailors are accustomed to penetrate without injury from the cold); in the regions halfway between the poles; on the æquator in the torrid zone; and again in all the maritime places and lands of the south, in the highest latitude which has thus far been reached, always the iron magnetick finds its way, and points to the poles in the same manner (excepting for the difference of variation); on this side of the æquator (where we live), and on the other side to the south, less well known, but yet in some measure explored by sailors: and always the lily of the compass points toward the North. This we have had confirmed by the most eminent captains, and also by very many of the more intelligent sailors. These facts have been pointed out to me and confirmed by our most illustrious Sea-god, Francis Drake, and by another circumnavigator of the globe, Thomas Candish; our terrella also indicates the same thing. This is demonstrated in the case of the

OMETHING in the nature of a record has been established in the introduction of hydro-electricity to Marlborough, for the first of the loan money required for the Waihopai scheme was not received until June 4, 1925, and actual work was not commenced until the following month, so that the headworks have been completed, and the principal part of the district reticulated, in a period of just two years.

A movement in the direction of forming a Power Board for Marlborough was made about 1920, when petitions with that object in view were circulated, but it subsequently transpired that there had been a misunderstanding in regard to witnessing some of the signatures in certain parts of the district, and this resulted in a long delay. In the end, certain of the petitions had to be again circulated for re-signature. They were finally completed about the middle of 1923 and were presented to the Government.

As a result, the district was constituted a Power Board District, by the following proclamation in the Gazette, dated October 25, 1923:—

[L.S.] JELLICOE, Governor-General,

In pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by section three of the Electric-Power Boards Act, 1918, I, John Rishworth, Viscount Jellicoe, Governor- General of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby proclaim the district as described in the Sehedule hereto to be an electric-power district, and I hereby assign to such district the name of the "Marlborough Electric-power District."

All that area in the Marlborough Land District, comprising the Borough of Blenheim and the Counties of Awatere and Marlborough, all as at present constituted. As the said area is more particularly delineated on the plan marked P.W.D. 57794, deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the Wellington Land District, and thereon bordered red.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand; and issued under the seal of that Dominion, this 24th day of October, 1923.

J. G. COATES, Minister of Public Works.

God Save the King !

The election of the Board was held on November 24, 1923, when the following gentlemen were returned :—

indent=1|

Blenheim Borough : Messrs. William Carr and William James Girling, M.P.

Marlborough County: Messrs Redwood Felix Goulter, Frederick William Charles Nees, William George Rudd, and Henry Joseph Stace.

Awatere County: Messrs. Everard Aloysins Weld and Arthur John Murray.

The Board's first meeting was held on Deeember 11, 1923, when Mr. Goulter was elected as chairman. Mr. P. S. Boyes, who had acted as provisional secretary up to this stage, had notified the Board that he would be unable to continue the duties, and the Board decided to appoint Mr. E. J. Harvey as secretary. It was also decided to call for applications for an engineer to undertake preliminary surveys of the sources of electric power available in the district.

At the following mecting, on January 22, 1924, Messrs. Vickerman & Lancaster, of Wellington, were appointed as engineers and were commissioned to report on the various sources of electrical energy. Their report was received and considered by the Board at a meeting held on April 14, 1924, when they reported that they had considered the possibilities of supply by water power from the Pelorus River, Wakamarina River, the diiference in tidal conditions between Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds, the Wairau, Clarence, and Waihopai rivers, as well as generation by steam or oil ; and, after going into the merits and demerits of the various localities named, they proceeded to recommend the harnessing of the Waihopai, at an estimated cost of £275,000, plus £25,000 to be borrowed tor the purpose of assisting would-be consumers in wiring their premises.

Having, in the meantime, secured a report upon a proposal that Kaikoura shoyld be included in the power district, the Board, at a meeting on June 25, 1924, adopted the engineers' recommendation and decided to place the Waihopai scheme before the ratepayers in the

 orbicular stone, whose poles are A and B; an iron wire CD, which is placed upon the stone, always points directly along the meridian toward the poles AB, whether the centre of the wire is on the central line or æquator of the stone, or on any other part situated between the æquator and the poles, as at H, G, F, E. So the cusp of a versorium on this side of the æquator points toward the north; on the other side the cross is always directed toward the south; but the cusp or lily does not, as some one has thought, turn toward the south beyond the æquator. Some inexperienced people indeed, who in distant parts beyond the æquator have seen the versorium sometimes become more sluggish and less prompt, thought that the distance from the arctick pole or from the magnetick rocks was the cause of this. But they are very much mistaken; for it is as powerful, and adjusts itself as quickly to the meridian or to the point of variation in the southern as in the northern parts of the earth. Yet sometimes the motion appears slower, namely, when the supporting pin by lapse of time and long voyaging has become somewhat blunt, or the magnetick iron parts have lost, by age or rust, some of their acquired vigour. This may also be shown experimentally by the versatory iron of a small sun-dial placed on a very short pin set perpendicular to the surface of the stone, for the iron when touched by a loadstone points toward the poles of the stone and leaves the poles of the earth; for the general and remoter cause is overcome by the particular and powerful cause which is so near at hand. Magnetick bodies have of themselves an inclination toward the position of the earth and are influenced by a terrella. Two equal stones of equal strength adjust themselves to a terrella in accordance with magnetick laws. The iron conceives vigour from the loadstone and is influenced by the magnetical motions. Wherefore true direction is the motion of a magnetick body in regard to the verticity of the earth, the natures of both agreeing and working together toward a natural position and unity. For indeed we have found out at length, by many experiments and in many ways, that there is a disposing nature, moving them together by reason of their various positions by one form that is common

 to both, and that in all magnetick substances there is attraction and repulsion. For both the stone and the magnetick iron arrange themselves by inclination and declination, according to the common position of their nature and the earth. And the force of the earth by the virtue of the whole, by attracting toward the poles, and repelling, arranges all magneticks which are unfixed and loose. For in all cases all magneticks conform themselves to the globe of the earth in the same ways and by the same laws by which another loadstone or any magneticks do to a terrella.

IRECTIVE force, which is also called by us verticity, is a virtue which spreads by an innate vigour from the æquator in both directions toward the poles. That power, inclining in both directions towards the termini, causes the motion of direction, and produces a constant and permanent position in Nature, not only in the earth itself but also in all magneticks. Loadstone is found either in veins of its own or in iron mines, when the homogeneous substance of the earth, either having or assuming a primary form, is changed or concreted into a stony substance, which besides the primary qualities of its nature has various dissimilitudes and differences in different quarries and mines, as if from different matrices, and very many secondary qualities and varieties in its substance. A loadstone which is dug out in this breaking up of the earth's surface and of protuberances upon it, whether formed complete in itself (as sometimes in China) or in a larger vein, is fashioned by the earth and follows the nature of the whole. All the interior parts of the earth mutually conspire together in combination and produce direction toward north and south. But those magnetical bodies which come together in the uppermost parts of the earth are not true united parts of the whole, but appendages and parts joined on, imitating the nature of the whole; wherefore when floating free on water, they dispose themselves just in the same way as they are placed in the terrestrial system of nature. We had a large loadstone of twenty pounds weight, dug up and cut out of its vein, after we had first observed and marked its ends; then after it was dug out, we placed it in a boat on water, so that it could turn freely; then immediately the face which had looked toward the north in the quarry began to

Page:On the Magnet - Gilbert (1900 translation of 1600 work).djvu/142

 turn to the north on the waves and at length settled toward that point. For that face which looked toward the north in the quarry is the southern, and is attracted by the northern parts of the earth, Magnetisation of magnetick ore. in the same way as pieces of iron which acquire their verticity from the earth. About this point we intend to speak afterwards under change of verticity. But there is a different rotation of the internal parts of the earth, which are perfectly united to the earth and which are not separated from the true substance of the earth by the interposition of bodies as are loadstones in the upper portion of the earth, which is maimed, corrupt, and variable. Let A B be a piece of magnetick ore; between which and the uniform globe of the earth lie various soils or mixtures which separate the ore to a certain extent from the globe of the true earth. It is therefore influenced by the forces of the earth just in the same way as C D, a piece of iron, in the air. So the face B of some ore or of that piece of it is moved toward the Boreal pole G, just as the extremity C of the iron, not A or D. But the condition of the piece E F is different, which piece is produced in one connected mass with the whole, and is not separated from it by any earthy mixture. For if the part E F were taken out and floated freely in a boat by itself, it is not E that would be directed toward the Boreal pole, but F. So in those substances which acquire their verticity in the air, C is the southern part and is seen to be attracted by the Boreal pole G. In the case of others which are found in the upper unstable portion of the earth, B is the south, and in like manner inclines toward the Boreal pole. But if those pieces deep down which are produced along with the earth are dug up, they turn about on a different plan. For F turns toward the Boreal parts of the earth, because is the southern part; E toward the south, because it is the northern. So of a magnetick body, C D, placed close to the earth, the end C turns toward the Boreal pole; of one that is adnate to it B A, B inclines to the North; of one that is innate in it, E F, E turns toward the southern pole; which is confirmed by the

 following demonstration, and comes about of necessity according to all magnetick laws. Let there be a terrella with poles A B; from its mass cut out a small part E F; if this be suspended by a fine thread above the hole or over some other place, E does not seek the pole A but the pole B, and F turns to A; very differently from a rod of iron C D; because C, touching some northern part of the terrella, being magnetically carried away makes a turn round to A, not to B. And yet here it should be observed, that if the pole A of  the terrella were moved toward the earth's south, the end E of the piece cut out by itself, if not brought too near to the stone, would also move of itself toward the south. But the end C of the piece of iron, placed beyond its orbe of virtue, will turn toward the north. The part E F of the terrella, whilst in the mass, produced the same direction as the whole; but when it is separated and suspended by a thread, E turns to B, and F to A.

 So parts having the same verticity with the whole, when separated, are impelled in the contrary direction; for contrary parts solicit contrary parts. Nor yet is this a true contrariety, but the highest concordancy, and the true and genuine conformation of bodies magnetical in the system of nature, if they shall have been divided and separated: for the parts thus divided should be raised some distance from the whole, as will be made clear afterwards. Magnetick substances seek a unity as regards form; they do not so much respect their own mass. Wherefore the part F E is not attracted into its former bed; but when once it is unsettled and at a distance, it is solicited by the opposite pole. But if the small piece F E is placed back again in its bed or brought close to, without any substances intervening, it acquires its former combination, and, as a part of the whole once more united, accords with the whole and sticks readily in its former position; and E remains toward A, and F toward B, and they settle steadily in their mother's lap. The reasoning is the same when the stone is divided into equal parts through the poles. Movement of divided terrellae. A spherical stone is divided into two equal parts along the axis A B; whether therefore the surface A B is in the one part facing upward (as in the former diagram) or lying on its face in both parts (as in  the latter), the end A tends toward B. But it must also be understood that the point A is not carried with a definite aim always toward the point B, because in consequence of the division the verticity proceeds to other points, as to F G, as appears in the fourteenth chapter of this book. And L M are now the axes in each, and A B is no longer the axis; for magnetick bodies, as soon as they are divided, become single magnetick wholes; and they have

 The short accounts of Native States in this work have been compiled mostly from the information received from them. Wherever the information supplied was insufficient, the compiler had to draw on the excellent edition of the Imperial Gazetteer lately published by Government.

Lastly, it may be mentioned that this work has been wholly executed and finished in this country, in the face of several unforeseen difficulties, and that too, within a limited time; and, as a consequence, it is likely to contain many shortcomings. It is, therefore, hoped that the public will receive it with indulgence.

THE great Imperial Durbar, which is to be held at Delhi on the 12th of December 1911 A.D., will be regarded as one of the most memorable events in the history of the British Government in India. It is sure to surpass those that preceded it, in testifying to the success, grandeur, and beneficence of British rule in this country. For the first time in the history of British India, the King-Emperor is appearing in person at his Coronation Durbar. This fact has increased the importance and significance of the event, and heightened its interest in the eyes of the king-loving and loyal peoples of India, whose "intense and beautiful devotion," as the writer in the London Times has put it, "is the golden thread that brightens the whole tissue and gives hopes of union and continuity" to the Pax Britanica. The actual presence of the King-Emperor with his Royal Consort at the ancient imperial city of Delhi will, doubtless, give a distinctive character to this unique event. Such an important occasion will be celebrated in India, throughout its length and breadth, with unbounded Joy and enthusiasm. It is but natural, therefore, that such a glorious event should be commemorated in a suitable manner, and the present Album is but an humble attempt in that direction.

This work is not intended to be an official narrative of the Durbar, nor an elaborate history of the Princes of India. It is a mere compendium of brief historical accounts with portraits of the Indian Princes, Chiefs, and Zamindars, who form so conspicuous and integral a part of the Indian Empire. It is hoped that the Album will serve as a fitting souvenir of this memorable event.

The publisher has received, through the kindness of the Government of India and the Government of Bombay, every facility in carrying out his design, and he owes them a deep debt of gratitude. He offers his sincere thanks to His Excellency Sir George Clarke for the kind help and many valuable suggestions received from him from time to time. He is also highly obliged to all those Political Officers who have so kindly assisted him in securing photographs pf the various Princes and Chiefs together with the accounts of their States.

The Princes and Chiefs, the Rajas and Nawabs, as well as the Zamindars and Talukdars have all laid the publisher under great obligation by their sympathy and support, and he Cannot adequately express his sincere gratitude to them.

 to the little kid!” said Moni quite angrily and drew Mäggerli to him and held her fast, as if to protect her from any such treatment.

“You really won’t have to take care of that one much longer,” began Jörgli again. “It won’t come up here many times more.”

“What? What? What did you say, Jörgli?” demanded Moni.

“Bah, don’t you know about it? The landlord will not raise her, she is too weak; there never was a more feeble goat. He wanted to sell her to my father, but he wouldn’t have her either; now the landlord is going to have her killed next week, and then he will buy our spotted one.” Moni had become quite pale from terror. At first he couldn’t speak a word; but now he broke out and complained aloud over the little kid:

“No, no, that shall not be done, Mäggerli, it shall not be done. They shall not slay you, I can’t bear that. Oh, I would rather die with you; no, that cannot be!”

“Don’t do so,” said Jörgli, angrily, and pulled Moni up, for in his grief he had thrown himself face down on the ground. “Stand up, you know the kid really belongs to the landlord and he can do what he likes with her. Think no more about it! Come, I know something. See! See!” Whereupon Jörgli held out one hand to Moni, and

 with the other almost covered the object, which Moni was to admire; it sparkled wonderfully in his hand, for the sun shone straight into it.

“What is it?” asked Moni, when it sparkled again, lighted up by a sunbeam.

“Guess!”

“A ring?”

“No, but something like that.”

“Who gave it to you?”

“Gave it to me? Nobody. I found it myself.”

“Then it does not belong to you, Jörgli.”

“Why not? I didn’t take it from anybody. I almost stepped on it with my foot, then it would have been broken; so I can just as well keep it.”

“Where did you find it?”

“Down by the Bath House, yesterday evening.”

“Then some one from the house below lost it. You must tell the landlord, and if you don’t, I will do it this evening.”

“No, no, Moni, don’t do that,” said Jörgli, beseechingly. “See, I will show you what it is, and I will sell it to a maid in one of the hotels, but she will surely have to give me four francs; then I will give you one or two, and nobody will know anything about it.”

“I will not take it! I will not take it!” interrupted Moni, hotly, “and the dear Lord has heard everything you have said.”

 means to recover the property I had so foolishly lavished; that I was fully entitled to resume all such purses of my manufacture as should come within my reach. True, ’twas so long ago, that many, nay, most of them, would be worn out; but this was no reason why I should be a loser; as they were worn out I must take those which had been bought to replace them. One must indemnify oneself in such cases as best one may. I accordingly examined every purse that I could fish out of people’s pockets: some were clearly my manufacture, or at all events, unmistakeably, purses which had been purchased in their place. These I declared a lawful prize. Others I was not quite so certain about; but ere I could settle the point satisfactorily to my mind, the owner was out of sight, and I could not go running about after people all over the town. By this means I had also the satisfaction of re-entering into possession of a considerable portion of that money which, as I had coined it, was undeniably my own, and which, though it had been regularly proclaimed, was still so highly thought of as to continue in active circulation. This sort of thing went on successfully for some time, and was pleasant enough. I went about to all the fairs and festivals, disguised, sometimes as a gentleman, sometimes as a Jew pedler, sometimes as this, sometimes as that; and my hand became so expert by degrees,

 that I had every prospect of getting back at least a great deal of my long-withheld property. However, until I had done myself full justice, I liked this life so well that I resolved to continue it; but such is the fatality by which I am persecuted that I can never long continue to pursue that calling which best suits my abilities. Being in professional attendance at the fair of Liegnitz, I detected a farmer in possession of what was, I had not the smallest doubt, one of my purses, and which the dishonest fellow had managed to cram full of gold. I attempted to assert my rights of ownership, but failed, the weight being too great for my fingers. Being observed, I was seized with brutal violence, and dragged before the magistrates as a cut-purse, though I by no means deserved this invidious appellation. I had, indeed, taken possession of many purses, but never cut purses from honest people, as I was now most unjustly accused of having done; all the purses I had appropriated having, as it were, spontaneously placed themselves in my hand, as if, by a sort of instinct, they were desirous of returning to their original owner. But this argument availed me nothing with the court; I was put in prison, and condemned not only thus a second time to be deprived of the means of earning my livelihood, but a second time to be cruelly flogged. But the latter injustice I saved myself from, by seizing an oppor-

 tunity which presented itself, and withdrawing from the gaol. I was now free, ’twas true; but then came the question, how on earth was I to avoid actual starvation? In this emergency I actually had recourse to begging; but it was a failure. The only people who took any notice of me were the police at Glogau, who, though I did not address them, insisted upon supplying me with food, and lodging, and occupation; but, resenting their impertinence, I got rid of these fellows, though with no small trouble, for they actually followed me for several miles; they could not have been aware that I have ever, on principle, refrained from calling upon the police in any way, knowing how engaged they must be with their public duties. In future I avoided the towns, and rambled over the rural districts like a genuine cosmopolite. As chance would have it, the Countess stopped in the village where I had established my temporary quarters, to have her carriage repaired: mingling in the crowd which forthwith collected to stare at the stranger ladies, I made acquaintance with the oaf of a servant, who told me, in the simplicity of his heart, that he was horribly afraid of you, my Lord Rubezahl; and that this halt for repairs necessitating their crossing the mountains during the night, was a source of the most painful anxiety. This put it into my head to devise how I might turn the timidity of these

 travellers to advantage. Determined to play upon their fear of spirits, I immediately went to the house of the sexton, whom I had got acquainted with, and not finding him at home, took possession of his official black cloak and ruff, with a pumpkin I found lying in the press. Furnished with these articles, and a stout cudgel, I betook myself to the wood, and there prepared my costume. You know, my Lord, what use I made of it; and there can be no question that, without your interference, I should have been completely successful in this master-stroke of mine; indeed, the game was already won. After having got rid of the two poltroons, I intended to penetrate as deep into the wood as I could, and then, doing the ladies no personal injury, to effect a little exchange, my black cloak, now no longer of use to me, for their cash and jewels; and then, having wished them a good journey, and recommending myself to their favourable remembrance, to make the best of my way off.

“As to yourself, my Lord, I must confess I had not the slightest idea of your coming to spoil my sport. The world is now so frightfully incredulous that your name no longer serves to frighten even children; and were it not that some ninny like the Countess’s servant, or some old wife at her wheel, every now and then revives your name, we should long since have forgotten even that.

'''Leviticus 10:15  Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down.

Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown. The Sin of Nadab and Abihu (Numbers 3:1–4)

Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command. So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said:

‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’”

But Aaron remained silent.

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.” So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited. You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.”

So they did as Moses instructed.

Restrictions for Priests

Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean, so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”

And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy. You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.

And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel. They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”

 light penetrated very dimly through the grating of a small window in a thick wall. Without being positively certain about the matter, he seemed to have some recollection of the place; he impatiently awaited a visit from the gaoler, but some hours elapsed, and no one came near him. Hunger and thirst beginning to torment him, he set to work making all the noise he could, shaking his chains, dashing them against the walls, and shouting with all his might. He heard human voices outside, but no one for a long time dared to come in; at last the gaoler, having said the usual prayer for driving away evil spirits, threw open the door, and brandishing a great cross, slowly advanced, reciting the office for exorcising the devil, deeming that it could be no other that was making all this racket in the prison; but on taking a nearer view of the apparition, he recognized his former prisoner, the cut-purse; and Kunz, on his part, beheld the gaoler of Liegnitz. He now perceived that Rubezahl had remanded him to the place whence he came. “Thou here?” exclaimed the gaoler, almost as much afraid of his mysterious prisoner as of the personage he had expected to find; “how got’st thou entrance?”—“By the door,” replied Kunz, coolly. “Weary of rambling about the world, I am desirous of leading a quiet life, and, as thou see’st, have returned to my old quarters, where, by your leave,

'''132  Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD. Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied. Clean and Unclean Animals (Deuteronomy 14:1–21; Acts 10:9–16)

The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat: You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following:

You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.

But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales. They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses. Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.

Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable:

All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their

 I propose to remain.” No one could comprehend by what means the prisoner had returned to his dungeon, or got into his irons. Kunz, who wished to throw a veil over his last exploit, boldly affirmed that he was there by virtue of a power he possessed of passing at pleasure through locked doors and barred gates, and of putting off or on his irons just as he pleased. “For me,” said he, “there are neither bolts nor locks.” Touched with his apparent tractability, the magistracy commuted his punishment, only requesting him to trundle a wheelbarrow for the service of the King till he should think proper to slip off his irons, when he might go for good and all: but we have never heard that he took advantage of this obliging permission.

The Countess meantime, with her family, arrived safely and comfortably at Carlsbad. Scarcely had she alighted when she sent for the principal physician, to consult him as to her health, and the best mode of using the waters. In a quarter of an hour, there accordingly presented himself the celebrated Doctor Springsfeld, of Merseburg, who would scarcely have exchanged the golden waters of Carlsbad for those of Pactolus. “Welcome, dear Doctor,” cried mother and daughters, cordially. “You have preceded us, then,” said Mama? “We thought you were still with Lord Giantdale; but why, naughty man, did you conceal from us that you were the Bath physician?”

'''Leviticus 11:47 feet for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.

These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening, and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening.

Every animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will be unclean.

All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening, and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard, the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening. When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean. If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot. Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.

Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you. Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean. If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed is clean; but if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until evening. Whoever eats from the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening, and anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.

Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten. Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.

Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them. For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground. For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground. You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’”

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation. And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.

The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.

If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.

When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering. And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.

But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’” Laws about Skin Diseases (Numbers 5:1–4)

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.

The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.

If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days. The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.

But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest. The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.

When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest. The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling, it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.

But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected
