Leviticus 22

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, that they be separated from the holy thinges of the children of Israel, and that they pollute not mine holy name in those things, which they hallowe vnto me: I am the Lord.

“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they do not defile My holy Name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] YHWH.

3 Say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of all your seede among your generations after you, that toucheth the holy things which the children of Israel hallowe vnto the Lord, hauing his vncleannesse vpon him, euen that person shall be cut off from my sight: I am the Lord.

Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man who draws near, out of all your seed, to the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him—indeed, that person has been cut off from before My face; I [am] YHWH.

4 Whosoeuer also of the seede of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue, he shall not eate of the holy things vntill he be cleane: and who so toucheth any that is vncleane, by reason of the dead, or a man whose issue of seede runneth from him,

Any man of the seed of Aaron, and he is leprous or has discharging—he does not eat of the holy things until he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him,

5 Or the man that toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made vncleane, or a man, by whom he may take vncleannesse, whatsoeuer vncleannesse he hath,

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

6 The person that hath touched such, shall therefore be vncleane vntill the euen, and shall not eat of ye holy things, except he haue washed his flesh with water.

the person who comes against it has even been unclean until the evening, and does not eat of the holy things, but has bathed his flesh with water,

7 But when the Sunne is downe, hee shalbe cleane, and shall afterward eate of the holy things: for it is his foode.

and the sun has gone in, and he has been clean, and afterward he eats of the holy things, for it [is] his food;

8 Of a beast that dyeth, or is rent with beasts, whereby he may be defiled, hee shall not eate: I am the Lord.

he does not eat a carcass or torn thing, to become unclean with it; I [am] YHWH.

9 Let them keepe therefore mine ordinance, least they beare their sinne for it, and die for it, if they defile it: I the Lord sanctifie them.

And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they defile it; I [am] YHWH sanctifying them.

10 There shall no stranger also eate of the holie thing, neither the ghest of the Priest, neither shall an hired seruant eat of the holie thing:

And no stranger eats of the holy thing; a settler [with] a priest and a hired worker does not eat of the holy thing;

11 But if the Priest bye any with money, he shall eate of it, also he that is borne in his house: they shall eate of his meate.

but when a priest buys a person, the purchase of his money, he eats of it, also one born in his house; they eat of his bread.

12 If the Priests daughter also be maried vnto a stranger, she may not eate of the holy offrings.

And a priest’s daughter, when she is a strange man’s, she does not eat of the raised-offering of the holy things;

13 Notwithstanding if the Priests daughter be a widowe or diuorced, and haue no childe, but is returned vnto her fathers house shee shall eate of her fathers bread, as she did in her youth but there shall no stranger eate thereof.

but a priest’s daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and has no seed, and has turned back to the house of her father, as [in] her youth, she eats of her father’s bread; but no stranger eats of it.

14 If a man eate of the holie thing vnwittingly, he shall put the fift part thereunto, and giue it vnto the Priest with the halowed thing.

And when a man eats of a holy thing through ignorance, then he has added its fifth part to it, and has given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;

15 So they shall not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer vnto the Lord,

and they do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel—that which they lift up to YHWH,

16 Neither cause the people to beare the iniquitie of their trespas, while they eate their holy thing: for I the Lord do halowe them.

or have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”

17 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

18 Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vowes, and for all their free offrings, which they vse to offer vnto the Lord for a burnt offring,

“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who brings his offering near, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to YHWH for a burnt-offering—

19 Yee shall offer of your free minde a male without blemish of the beeues, of the sheepe, or of the goates.

[you bring near] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

20 Ye shall not offer any thing that hath a blemish: for that shall not be acceptable for you.

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

21 And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offring vnto ye Lord to accomplish his vowe, or for a free offring, of the beeues, or of the sheepe, his free offring shall bee perfect, no blemish shalbe in it.

And when a man brings a sacrifice of peace-offerings near to YHWH, to complete a special 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.

22 Blinde, or broken, or maimed, or hauing a wenne, or skiruie, or skabbed: these shall yee not offer vnto the Lord nor make an offring by fire of these vpon the altar of the Lord.

Blind, or broken, or maimed, or [having] an oozing sore [[or a defect of the eye]], or itch, or scab—you do not bring these near to YHWH, and you do not make a fire-offering from them on the altar to YHWH.

23 Yet a bullocke, or a sheepe that hath any member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free offring, but for a vowe it shall not be accepted.

As for an ox or sheep [that] is deformed or stunted—you make it a willing-offering, but it is not pleasing for a vow.

24 Ye shall not offer vnto ye Lord that which is bruised or crusshed, or broken, or cut away, neither shall ye make an offring thereof in your land,

As for bruised, or beaten, or torn, or cut—you do not bring [it] near to YHWH; and in your land you do not do it.

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

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

26 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

27 When a bullocke, or a sheepe, or a goate shall be brought foorth, it shalbe euen seuen daies vnder his damme: and from the eight day forth, it shalbe accepted for a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.

“When ox, or lamb, or goat is born, and it has been under its mother [for] seven days, then from the eighth day and from now on, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to YHWH;

28 As for the cowe or the ewe, yee shall not kill her, and her yong both in one day.

but an ox or sheep—you do not slaughter it and its young one in one day.

29 So when ye will offer a thanke offring vnto the Lord, ye shall offer willingly.

And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you sacrifice at your pleasure;

30 The same day it shalbe eaten, yee shall leaue none of it vntill the morowe: I am the Lord.

it is eaten on that day—you do not leave of it until morning; I [am] YHWH.

31 Therefore shall ye keepe my commandements and do them: for I am the Lord.

And you have kept my commands and have done them; I [am] YHWH;

32 Neither shall ye pollute mine holy Name, but I will be halowed among the children of Israel. I the Lord sanctifie you,

and you do not defile My holy Name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you,

33 Which haue brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.

who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] YHWH.”
