Leviticus 22
1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
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 YHWH.
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.
3 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to YHWH, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am YHWH.
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.
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;
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;
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;
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,
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.
— 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,
7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
and when the sun goeth down, he shall be clean, and may afterwards eat of the holy things; for it is his food.
8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am YHWH.
Of a dead carcase and what is torn shall he not eat, to make himself unclean therewith: I am Jehovah.
9 "'They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die because of it, if they profane it. I am YHWH who sanctifies them.
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.
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.
And no stranger shall eat the holy thing; the sojourner with the priest, and the hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
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.
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.
12 If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
And a priest's daughter who is [married] to a stranger may not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to YHWH,
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer unto Jehovah,
16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am YHWH who sanctifies them.'"
and cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass when they eat their holy things; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
17 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
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 YHWH for a burnt offering;
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,
19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
it shall be for your acceptance, without blemish, a male of the oxen, of the sheep, and of the goats.
20 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Nothing that hath a defect shall ye present; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to YHWH 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.
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.
22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to YHWH, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to YHWH.
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.
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.
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.
24 That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to YHWH; neither shall you do thus in your land.
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].
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.'"
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.
26 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
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 YHWH.
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.
28 Whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
A cow, or sheep — it and its young shall ye not slaughter in one day.
29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.
30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am YHWH.
On that day shall it be eaten: ye shall leave none of it until morning: I am Jehovah.
31 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am YHWH.
And ye shall observe my commandments and do them: I am Jehovah.
32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am YHWH who makes you holy,
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,
33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am YHWH."
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.
