Leviticus 22
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do not profane My holy name. I am the LORD.
| דַּבֵּר אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־בָּנָיו וְיִנָּֽזְרוּ מִקׇּדְשֵׁי בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא יְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קׇדְשִׁי אֲשֶׁר הֵם מַקְדִּשִׁים לִי אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
3 Tell them that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. I am the LORD.
| אֱמֹר אֲלֵהֶם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם כׇּל־אִישׁ ׀ אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרַב מִכׇּל־זַרְעֲכֶם אֶל־הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר יַקְדִּישׁוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽיהֹוָה וְטֻמְאָתוֹ עָלָיו וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִלְּפָנַי אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
4 If a descendant of Aaron has a skin disease or a discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything defiled by a corpse or by a man who has an emission of semen,
| אִישׁ אִישׁ מִזֶּרַע אַהֲרֹן וְהוּא צָרוּעַ אוֹ זָב בַּקֳּדָשִׁים לֹא יֹאכַל עַד אֲשֶׁר יִטְהָר וְהַנֹּגֵעַ בְּכׇל־טְמֵא־נֶפֶשׁ אוֹ אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־תֵּצֵא מִמֶּנּוּ שִׁכְבַת־זָֽרַע׃ |
5 or whoever touches a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—
| אוֹ־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִגַּע בְּכׇל־שֶׁרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יִטְמָא־לוֹ אוֹ בְאָדָם אֲשֶׁר יִטְמָא־לוֹ לְכֹל טֻמְאָתֽוֹ׃ |
6 the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
| נֶפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר תִּגַּע־בּוֹ וְטָמְאָה עַד־הָעָרֶב וְלֹא יֹאכַל מִן־הַקֳּדָשִׁים כִּי אִם־רָחַץ בְּשָׂרוֹ בַּמָּֽיִם׃ |
7 When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
| וּבָא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְטָהֵר וְאַחַר יֹאכַל מִן־הַקֳּדָשִׁים כִּי לַחְמוֹ הֽוּא׃ |
8 He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.
| נְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה לֹא יֹאכַל לְטׇמְאָה־בָהּ אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
9 The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
| וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמַרְתִּי וְלֹֽא־יִשְׂאוּ עָלָיו חֵטְא וּמֵתוּ בוֹ כִּי יְחַלְּלֻהוּ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה מְקַדְּשָֽׁם׃ |
10 No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.
| וְכׇל־זָר לֹא־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ תּוֹשַׁב כֹּהֵן וְשָׂכִיר לֹא־יֹאכַל קֹֽדֶשׁ׃ |
11 But if a priest buys a slave with his own money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.
| וְכֹהֵן כִּֽי־יִקְנֶה נֶפֶשׁ קִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ הוּא יֹאכַל בּוֹ וִילִיד בֵּיתוֹ הֵם יֹאכְלוּ בְלַחְמֽוֹ׃ |
12 If the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.
| וּבַת־כֹּהֵן כִּי תִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ זָר הִוא בִּתְרוּמַת הַקֳּדָשִׁים לֹא תֹאכֵֽל׃ |
13 But if a priest’s daughter with no children becomes widowed or divorced and returns to her father’s house, she may share her father’s food as in her youth. But no outsider may share it.
| וּבַת־כֹּהֵן כִּי תִהְיֶה אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה וְזֶרַע אֵין לָהּ וְשָׁבָה אֶל־בֵּית אָבִיהָ כִּנְעוּרֶיהָ מִלֶּחֶם אָבִיהָ תֹּאכֵל וְכׇל־זָר לֹא־יֹאכַל בּֽוֹ׃ |
14 If anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering to the priest.
| וְאִישׁ כִּֽי־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה וְיָסַף חֲמִֽשִׁיתוֹ עָלָיו וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ |
15 The priests must not profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD
| וְלֹא יְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־קׇדְשֵׁי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יָרִימוּ לַיהֹוָֽה׃ |
16 by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”
| וְהִשִּׂיאוּ אוֹתָם עֲוֺן אַשְׁמָה בְּאׇכְלָם אֶת־קׇדְשֵׁיהֶם כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה מְקַדְּשָֽׁם׃ |
17 Then the LORD said to Moses,
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
| דַּבֵּר אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־בָּנָיו וְאֶל כׇּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם אִישׁ אִישׁ מִבֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן־הַגֵּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיב קׇרְבָּנוֹ לְכׇל־נִדְרֵיהֶם וּלְכׇל־נִדְבוֹתָם אֲשֶׁר־יַקְרִיבוּ לַיהֹוָה לְעֹלָֽה׃ |
19 must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf.
| לִֽרְצֹנְכֶם תָּמִים זָכָר בַּבָּקָר בַּכְּשָׂבִים וּבָֽעִזִּֽים׃ |
20 You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
| כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ מוּם לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ כִּי־לֹא לְרָצוֹן יִהְיֶה לָכֶֽם׃ |
21 When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable.
| וְאִישׁ כִּֽי־יַקְרִיב זֶֽבַח־שְׁלָמִים לַיהֹוָה לְפַלֵּא־נֶדֶר אוֹ לִנְדָבָה בַּבָּקָר אוֹ בַצֹּאן תָּמִים יִֽהְיֶה לְרָצוֹן כׇּל־מוּם לֹא יִהְיֶה־בּֽוֹ׃ |
22 You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
| עַוֶּרֶת אוֹ שָׁבוּר אוֹ־חָרוּץ אֽוֹ־יַבֶּלֶת אוֹ גָרָב אוֹ יַלֶּפֶת לֹא־תַקְרִיבוּ אֵלֶּה לַיהֹוָה וְאִשֶּׁה לֹא־תִתְּנוּ מֵהֶם עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לַיהֹוָֽה׃ |
23 You may present as a freewill offering an ox or sheep that has a deformed or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.
| וְשׁוֹר וָשֶׂה שָׂרוּעַ וְקָלוּט נְדָבָה תַּעֲשֶׂה אֹתוֹ וּלְנֵדֶר לֹא יֵרָצֶֽה׃ |
24 You are not to present to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; you are not to sacrifice them in your land.
| וּמָעוּךְ וְכָתוּת וְנָתוּק וְכָרוּת לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ לַֽיהֹוָה וּֽבְאַרְצְכֶם לֹא תַעֲשֽׂוּ׃ |
25 Neither you nor a foreigner shall present food to your God from any such animal. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and flawed.’”
| וּמִיַּד בֶּן־נֵכָר לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ אֶת־לֶחֶם אֱלֹהֵיכֶם מִכׇּל־אֵלֶּה כִּי מׇשְׁחָתָם בָּהֶם מוּם בָּם לֹא יֵרָצוּ לָכֶֽם׃ |
26 Then the LORD said to Moses,
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
27 “When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
| שׁוֹר אוֹ־כֶשֶׂב אוֹ־עֵז כִּי יִוָּלֵד וְהָיָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תַּחַת אִמּוֹ וּמִיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי וָהָלְאָה יֵרָצֶה לְקׇרְבַּן אִשֶּׁה לַיהֹוָֽה׃ |
28 But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.
| וְשׁוֹר אוֹ־שֶׂה אֹתוֹ וְאֶת־בְּנוֹ לֹא תִשְׁחֲטוּ בְּיוֹם אֶחָֽד׃ |
29 When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.
| וְכִֽי־תִזְבְּחוּ זֶֽבַח־תּוֹדָה לַיהֹוָה לִֽרְצֹנְכֶם תִּזְבָּֽחוּ׃ |
30 It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יֵאָכֵל לֹֽא־תוֹתִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד־בֹּקֶר אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
31 You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.
| וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם מִצְוֺתַי וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
32 You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
| וְלֹא תְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קׇדְשִׁי וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנִי יְהֹוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶֽם׃ |
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”
| הַמּוֹצִיא אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
