< Leviticus 22 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak to 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 those things which they hallow to me: I am the LORD.
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.
3 Say to them, Whoever he may be of all your seed among your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
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.
4 Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
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;
5 Or whoever toucheth any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he hath;
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:
6 The soul who hath touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he shall wash his flesh with water.
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.
7 And when the sun is set, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I am the LORD.
That which dieth of itself, or is torn by beasts, shall he not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord.
9 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD sanctifieth them.
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.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
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.
11 But if the priest shall buy any person with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food.
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.
12 If the priest’s daughter also shall be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
And if the daughter of a priest be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the offered part of holy things.

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.
14 And if a man shall eat of the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall put to it the fifth part, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.
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.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD;

16 Or allow them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD sanctifieth them.
And load on themselves the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things; for I am the Lord who sanctify them.
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt offering;
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:
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats.
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.
20 But whatever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Whatsoever on which there is a blemish shall ye not offer; for it will not be favorably received for you.
21 And whoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be in it no blemish.
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.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a running sore, or eczema, or scabs, ye shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the LORD.
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.
23 Either a bull or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
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.
24 Ye shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering of it in your land.
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.
25 Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
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.
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the LORD.
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.
28 And whether it is cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
And whether it be ox or sheep, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will.
And when ye offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it so that it may be favorably received of you.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the next morning: I am the LORD.
On the same day shall it be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the Lord.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
And ye shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the Lord.
32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who doth hallow you,
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,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be unto you a God: I am the Lord.
