Lev 22
1
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things
of the children of Israel, which they hallow to me, and that they profane not my holy
name: I am YHWH.
3
Say to them, Whoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches
to the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to YHWH, having his uncleanness
upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am YHWH.
4
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has an issue; he shall not eat
of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso touches anything that is unclean
by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;
5
or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of
whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;
6
the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat
of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
7
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy
things, because it is his bread.
8
That which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself
therewith: I am YHWH.
9
They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if
they profane it: I am YHWH who sanctifies them.
10
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest`s, or a hired
servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11
But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such
as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
12
And if a priest`s daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering
of the holy things.
13
But if a priest`s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned
to her father`s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father`s bread: but there
shall no stranger eat thereof.
14
And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof
to it, and shall give to the priest the holy thing.
15
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer
to YHWH,
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.
17
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
18
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them,
Whoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offers
his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings,
which they offer to YHWH for a burnt-offering;
19
that you may be accepted, [you shall offer] a male without blemish, of the bullocks,
of the sheep, or of the goats.
20
But whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable
for you.
21
And 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 therein.
22
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not
offer these to YHWH, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to YHWH.
23
Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in his parts,
that may you offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24
That which has its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, you shall not offer
to YHWH; neither shall you do [thus] in your land.
25
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any
of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall
not be accepted for you.
26
And YHWH spoke 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 the
oblation of an offering made by fire to YHWH.
28
And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29
And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you shall sacrifice it
that you may be accepted.
30
On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave none of it until the morning: I
am YHWH.
31
Therefore shall you keep my commandments, and do them: I am YHWH.
32
And you shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children
of Israel: I am YHWH who hallows you,
33
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am YHWH.
