Leviticus 22

1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Jehovah.

דַּבֵּר אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־בָּנָיו וְיִנָּֽזְרוּ מִקׇּדְשֵׁי בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא יְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קׇדְשִׁי אֲשֶׁר הֵם מַקְדִּשִׁים לִי אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃

3 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Jehovah, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Jehovah.

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 "'No man of the descendants of Aaron is a leper or has an issue, may eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, a man who has had a seminal emission;

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 any crawling creature, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

אוֹ־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִגַּע בְּכׇל־שֶׁרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יִטְמָא־לוֹ אוֹ בְאָדָם אֲשֶׁר יִטְמָא־לוֹ לְכֹל טֻמְאָתֽוֹ׃

6 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.

נֶפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר תִּגַּע־בּוֹ וְטָמְאָה עַד־הָעָרֶב וְלֹא יֹאכַל מִן־הַקֳּדָשִׁים כִּי אִם־רָחַץ בְּשָׂרוֹ בַּמָּֽיִם׃

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

וּבָא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְטָהֵר וְאַחַר יֹאכַל מִן־הַקֳּדָשִׁים כִּי לַחְמוֹ הֽוּא׃

8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Jehovah.

נְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה לֹא יֹאכַל לְטׇמְאָה־בָהּ אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃

9 "'They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die because of it, if they profane it. I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמַרְתִּי וְלֹֽא־יִשְׂאוּ עָלָיו חֵטְא וּמֵתוּ בוֹ כִּי יְחַלְּלֻהוּ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה מְקַדְּשָֽׁם׃

10 "'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.

וְכׇל־זָר לֹא־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ תּוֹשַׁב כֹּהֵן וְשָׂכִיר לֹא־יֹאכַל קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

11 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.

וְכֹהֵן כִּֽי־יִקְנֶה נֶפֶשׁ קִנְיַן כַּסְפּוֹ הוּא יֹאכַל בּוֹ וִילִיד בֵּיתוֹ הֵם יֹאכְלוּ בְלַחְמֽוֹ׃

12 If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

וּבַת־כֹּהֵן כִּי תִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ זָר הִוא בִּתְרוּמַת הַקֳּדָשִׁים לֹא תֹאכֵֽל׃

13 But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has 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.

וּבַת־כֹּהֵן כִּי תִהְיֶה אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה וְזֶרַע אֵין לָהּ וְשָׁבָה אֶל־בֵּית אָבִיהָ כִּנְעוּרֶיהָ מִלֶּחֶם אָבִיהָ תֹּאכֵל וְכׇל־זָר לֹא־יֹאכַל בּֽוֹ׃

14 "'If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

וְאִישׁ כִּֽי־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה וְיָסַף חֲמִֽשִׁיתוֹ עָלָיו וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃

15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Jehovah,

וְלֹא יְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־קׇדְשֵׁי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יָרִימוּ לַיהֹוָֽה׃

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

וְהִשִּׂיאוּ אוֹתָם עֲוֺן אַשְׁמָה בְּאׇכְלָם אֶת־קׇדְשֵׁיהֶם כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה מְקַדְּשָֽׁם׃

17 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

18 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, 'Any man of the house of Israel or the foreigners who sojourn in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Jehovah for a burnt 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 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

לִֽרְצֹנְכֶם תָּמִים זָכָר בַּבָּקָר בַּכְּשָׂבִים וּבָֽעִזִּֽים׃

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

כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ מוּם לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ כִּי־לֹא לְרָצוֹן יִהְיֶה לָכֶֽם׃

21 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.

וְאִישׁ כִּֽי־יַקְרִיב זֶֽבַח־שְׁלָמִים לַיהֹוָה לְפַלֵּא־נֶדֶר אוֹ לִנְדָבָה בַּבָּקָר אוֹ בַצֹּאן תָּמִים יִֽהְיֶה לְרָצוֹן כׇּל־מוּם לֹא יִהְיֶה־בּֽוֹ׃

22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Jehovah.

עַוֶּרֶת אוֹ שָׁבוּר אוֹ־חָרוּץ אֽוֹ־יַבֶּלֶת אוֹ גָרָב אוֹ יַלֶּפֶת לֹא־תַקְרִיבוּ אֵלֶּה לַיהֹוָה וְאִשֶּׁה לֹא־תִתְּנוּ מֵהֶם עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לַיהֹוָֽה׃

23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

וְשׁוֹר וָשֶׂה שָׂרוּעַ וְקָלוּט נְדָבָה תַּעֲשֶׂה אֹתוֹ וּלְנֵדֶר לֹא יֵרָצֶֽה׃

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

וּמָעוּךְ וְכָתוּת וְנָתוּק וְכָרוּת לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ לַֽיהֹוָה וּֽבְאַרְצְכֶם לֹא תַעֲשֽׂוּ׃

25 Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.'"

וּמִיַּד בֶּן־נֵכָר לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ אֶת־לֶחֶם אֱלֹהֵיכֶם מִכׇּל־אֵלֶּה כִּי מׇשְׁחָתָם בָּהֶם מוּם בָּם לֹא יֵרָצוּ לָכֶֽם׃

26 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

27 "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 Jehovah.

שׁוֹר אוֹ־כֶשֶׂב אוֹ־עֵז כִּי יִוָּלֵד וְהָיָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תַּחַת אִמּוֹ וּמִיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי וָהָלְאָה יֵרָצֶה לְקׇרְבַּן אִשֶּׁה לַיהֹוָֽה׃

28 Whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

וְשׁוֹר אוֹ־שֶׂה אֹתוֹ וְאֶת־בְּנוֹ לֹא תִשְׁחֲטוּ בְּיוֹם אֶחָֽד׃

29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

וְכִֽי־תִזְבְּחוּ זֶֽבַח־תּוֹדָה לַיהֹוָה לִֽרְצֹנְכֶם תִּזְבָּֽחוּ׃

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

בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יֵאָכֵל לֹֽא־תוֹתִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד־בֹּקֶר אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃

31 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Jehovah.

וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם מִצְוֺתַי וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃

32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Jehovah who makes you holy,

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 Jehovah."

הַמּוֹצִיא אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃
