Leviticus 22

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.

³Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.

⁴What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

⁵or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

⁶the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

⁷And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

⁸That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah.

⁹They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁰There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

¹¹But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

¹²And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.

¹³But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.

¹⁴And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.

¹⁵And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,

¹⁶and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

¹⁹that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

²²Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah.

²³Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

²⁴That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do thus in your land.

²⁵Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁷When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

²⁸And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

²⁹And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.

³⁰On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah.

³¹Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

³²And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,

³³who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.

Leviticus 22

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I am Jehovah.

³`Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on himeven that person hath been cut off from before Me; I am Jehovah.

⁴`Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issueof the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,

⁵or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness

⁶the person who cometh against ithath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,

⁷and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it is his food;

⁸a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I am Jehovah.

⁹`And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I am Jehovah sanctifying them.

¹⁰`And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;

¹¹and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.

¹²`And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;

¹³and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.

¹⁴`And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given it to the priest, with the holy thing;

¹⁵and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israelthat which they lift up to Jehovah,

¹⁶nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

¹⁷And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

¹⁹at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

²⁰nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

²¹`And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;

²²blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbedye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.

²³`As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfeda willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.

²⁴As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thingye do not bring it near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.

²⁵And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption is in them; blemish is in them; they are not pleasing for you.'

²⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁷`When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;

²⁸but an ox or sheepit and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.

²⁹`And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,

³⁰on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I am Jehovah;

³¹and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I am Jehovah;

³²and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I am Jehovah, sanctifying you,

³³who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I am Jehovah.'
