Hebrew paragraph divisions
(The chapter and verse numberings can sometimes be different in Hebrew Bibles than in the English translations commonly available in book stores, which most of us use. In the Hebrew Bible, the parashah ends with Lev 5:26. In English Bibles, Lev 5 ends with verse 19, and the content of the Hebrew Lev 5:20-26 is contained in Lev 6:1-7. So I have adjusted the chapter and verse numbers accordingly.)
