Leviticus 22

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they keep themselves away from the holy things of the children of Israel, [so that they profane not my holy name] which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.

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

3 Say unto them, In your generations, if there be any man of all your seed, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.

Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Jehovah.

4 Any man whatsoever of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or hath a running issue, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean; and whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

Whatever man of the seed of Aaron being a man with a leprous disease, or has an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him,

5 Or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man through whom he can be rendered unclean, through any kind of uncleanness which he hath:

or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has,

6 The person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he have bathed his flesh in water.

the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening. And shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathe his flesh in water.

7 And when the sun hath set, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

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

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

That which dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it. I am Jehovah.

9 And they shall keep my charge, that they may not bear sin through it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I am the Lord who sanctify them.

They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die in it if they profane it. I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

10 And no stranger shall eat of a holy thing: a sojourner of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of a holy thing.

There 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.

11 But if a priest buy a person with his money, then may he eat of it; and those that are born in his house, may eat of his bread.

But if a priest buys 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.

12 And if the daughter of a priest be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the offered part of holy things.

And if a priest's daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

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

But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread, but there shall no stranger eat of it.

14 And if a man eat a holy thing unwittingly, then shall he add the fifth part thereof unto it, and he shall make good unto the priest the holy thing.

And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part of it 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 the Lord;

And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to Jehovah,

16 And load on themselves the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things; for I am the Lord who sanctify them.

and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

17 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

18 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, If there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offereth his oblation, be it for any manner of vows, or for any manner of freewill-offerings, which they may offer unto the Lord for a burnt-offering:

Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he is of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who offers his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Jehovah for a burnt offering,

19 Then shall it be, that it may be favorably received for you, a male without blemish, of the oxen, of the sheep, or of the goats.

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

20 Whatsoever on which there is a blemish shall ye not offer; for it will not be favorably received for you.

But whatever has a blemish, that ye shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21 And when a man offereth a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord as a vow, or a freewill-offering of the herds or of the flocks: it shall be without blemish to be favorably received; no kind of bodily defect shall be thereon.

And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to 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 in it.

22 A blind, or broken-limbed, or maimed animal, or one having a wen, or itch, or scurvy, —ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, and a fire-offering shall ye not make of them upon the altar unto the Lord.

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

23 And an ox or a lamb that hath a limb too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be favorably received.

Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that thou may offer for a freewill offering, but it shall not be accepted for a vow.

24 And one that is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut in the testicles, shall ye not offer unto the Lord; and in your land shall ye not make the like.

That which has its testicles bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer to Jehovah, neither shall ye do thus in your land.

25 And from a stranger's hand shall ye not offer the bread of your God from any of these; because their corruption is on them, a bodily defect is on them: they shall not be favorably received for you.

Neither 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.

26 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then shall it remain seven days by its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth shall it be favorably received for an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

When 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 after that it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire to Jehovah.

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

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

29 And when ye offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it so that it may be favorably received of you.

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

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

It shall be eaten on the same day. Ye shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Jehovah.

31 And ye shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the Lord.

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

32 And ye shall not profane my holy name; so that I may be sanctified among the children of Israel; I am the Lord who sanctify you,

And ye shall not profane my holy name, but I will be hallowed among the sons of Israel. I am Jehovah who hallows you,

33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be unto you a God: I am the Lord.

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