Leviticus 22

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] Jehovah.

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.

3 'Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him — even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I [am] Jehovah.

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.

4 'Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue — of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,

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;

5 or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness —

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;

6 the person who cometh against it — hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,

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.

7 and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it [is] his food;

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

8 a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I [am] Jehovah.

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

9 'And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I [am] Jehovah sanctifying them.

They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD sanctifieth them.

10 'And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;

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.

11 and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.

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.

12 'And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, — she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;

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

13 and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as [in] her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.

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 food: but there shall no stranger eat of it.

14 'And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;

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.

15 and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel — that which they lift up to Jehovah,

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

16 nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

Or allow them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD sanctifieth them.

17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

18 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

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;

19 at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats.

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

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

21 'And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a 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;

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.

22 blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed — ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.

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.

23 'As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed — a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.

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.

24 As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing — ye do not bring [it] near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.

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.

25 And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.'

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.

26 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

27 'When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;

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.

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

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

29 'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,

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

30 on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I [am] Jehovah;

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

31 and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah;

Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.

32 and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you,

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,

33 who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] Jehovah.'

That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
