Leviticus 22
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in the things that they hallow unto me: I am Jehovah.
“Tell Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they make holy to me, and that they not profane את my holy name. I am Adonai.
3 Say unto them, Every one of all your seed, throughout your generations, that approacheth 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.
“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout all your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel [God prevails] make holy to Adonai, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Adonai.
4 Whatsoever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a flux, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And he that toucheth any one that is unclean by a dead person, or a man whose seed of copulation hath passed from him;
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron [Light-bringer] is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose offspring goes from him;
5 or a man that toucheth any crawling thing whereby he becometh unclean, or a man by whom he may become unclean, whatever may be his uncleanness,
or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;
6 — a person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things; but he shall bathe his flesh with water,
the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.
7 and when the sun goeth down, he shall be clean, and may afterwards eat of the holy things; for it is his food.
When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Of a dead carcase and what is torn shall he not eat, to make himself unclean therewith: I am Jehovah.
That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Adonai.
9 And they shall keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die by it, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
“‘They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear crime deserving penalty, sin ·missing the goal· for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh M'Kaddesham [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes them holy].
10 And no stranger shall eat the holy thing; the sojourner with the priest, and the hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 But if a priest buy any one for money, he may eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they may eat of his food.
But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
12 And a priest's daughter who is [married] to a stranger may not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13 But a priest's daughter that becometh a widow, or is divorced, and hath no seed, and returneth unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food; but no stranger shall eat thereof.
But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has teshuvah ·completely returned· to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14 And if a man eat of a holy thing through inadvertence, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
“‘If a man eats something holy unintentionally by mistake sin ·error·, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer unto Jehovah,
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they offer to Adonai,
16 and cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass when they eat their holy things; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
and so cause them to bear the depravity (moral evil) that brings trespass guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh M'Kaddesham [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes them holy].’”
17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that presenteth his offering for any of his vows, and for any of his voluntary offerings, which they present to Jehovah as a burnt-offering,
“Speak to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the foreigners in Israel [God prevails], who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows, or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Adonai for a burnt offering;
19 it shall be for your acceptance, without blemish, a male of the oxen, of the sheep, and of the goats.
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Nothing that hath a defect shall ye present; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
But whatever has a defect, that you shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 And if any present a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or a voluntary offering of oxen or small cattle, it shall be without blemish to be accepted: there shall be no defect therein.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Adonai to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or ulcerous, or with itch, or scabbed — ye shall not present these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Jehovah.
Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore: you shall not offer these to Adonai, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Adonai.
23 A bullock and a sheep that hath a member too long or too short, that mayest thou offer as a voluntary offering; but as a vow it shall not be accepted.
Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 That which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut shall ye not present to Jehovah; neither in your land shall ye do [the like].
You must not offer to Adonai that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25 Nor from the hand of the stranger shall ye present the bread of your God, of any of these; for their corruption is in them: a defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
You must not receive any of these from the hand of a foreigner to offer as bread for your God, because their deformity is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
27 An ox, or a sheep, or a goat, when it is brought forth, shall be seven days under its dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering by fire to Jehovah.
“When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Adonai.
28 A cow, or sheep — it and its young shall ye not slaughter in one day.
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.
“When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Adonai, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30 On that day shall it be eaten: ye shall leave none of it until morning: I am Jehovah.
It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Adonai.
31 And ye shall observe my commandments and do them: I am Jehovah.
“Therefore you shall keep my mitzvot ·instructions·, and do them. I am Adonai.
32 And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who do hallow you,
You shall not profane את my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel [God prevails]. I am Adonai who makes you holy,
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.
who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to be your God. I am Adonai.”
