Leviticus 22

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to 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 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 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 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 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 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 whoever toucheth any creeping animal, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness 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 soul which 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 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 And when the sun is set, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it [is] his food.

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 That which dieth of itself, or is torn [by beasts], he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I [am] the LORD.

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

9 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify 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 eat [of] the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy 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 shall buy [any] soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.

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 priest's daughter also shall be [married] to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

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

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 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 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 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer to the LORD;

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

16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify 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 spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever [he may be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his free-will-offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt-offering:

“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 [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without blemish of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

[you bring near] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, 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.

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

21 And whoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD to accomplish [his] vow, or a free-will-offering in beeves, or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted: there shall be in it no blemish.

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 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to 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 Either a bullock, or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer [for] a free-will-offering; but for a vow 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 to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering 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 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 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 spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

27 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 thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to 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 And [whether it is] cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

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

29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will.

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

30 On the same day it shall be eaten up, ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: 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 keep my commandments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.

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

32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD who hallow 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 That 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.”
