Leviticus 22

¹The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:

²Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.

³Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.

⁴The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,

⁵and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,

⁶shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,

⁷and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.

⁸Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.

⁹Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

¹⁰No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.

¹¹But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.

¹²If the daughter of a priest has been married to any of the people, she shall not eat from what has been sanctified, nor from the first-fruits.

¹³But if she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father’s house, she shall be nourished by her father’s foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.

¹⁴Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.

¹⁵And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,

¹⁶lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.

¹⁷And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁸Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man from the house of Israel, or from the newcomers who live with you, who would bring forward his oblation, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whatever he brings forward as a holocaust for the Lord,

¹⁹in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.

²⁰If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.

²¹The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.

²²If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of the Lord.

²³An ox or a sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.

²⁴You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.

²⁵From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.

²⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁷An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.

²⁸Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.

²⁹If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,

³⁰you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.

³¹Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.

³²Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,

³³and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.

Leviticus 22

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses saying:

²Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel: and defile not the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.

³Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.

⁴The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead: and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation:

⁵And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling:

⁶Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water,

⁷And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.

⁸That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.

⁹Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.

¹⁰No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.

¹¹But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.

¹²If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified nor of the firstfruits.

¹³But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father's house, she shall eat of her father's meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid. No stranger hath leave to eat of them.

¹⁴He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.

¹⁵And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:

¹⁶Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.

¹⁷And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁸Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,

¹⁹To be offered by you: it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰If it have a blemish you shall not offer it: neither shall it be acceptable.

²¹The man that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.

²²If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord's altar.

²³An ox or a sheep, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.

²⁴you shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such things in your land.

²⁵you shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all corrupted, and defiled. You shall not receive them.

²⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²⁷When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord.

²⁸Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the same day with their young ones.

²⁹If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he may be favourable,

³⁰You shall eat it the same day. There shall not any of it remain until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord.

³¹Keep my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.

³²Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you:

³³And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. I am the Lord.
