Leviticus 22

And God spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and they shall be separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they {are} making holy to me, and they shall not profane the name of my holiness. I {am} God.

Say to them, ‘To your generations, any man who draws near from all your seed to the holy things that the sons of Israel have made holy to God and his uncleanness {is} on him, that person shall be cut off from before my face. I {am} God. \*

A man, a man from the seed of Aaron, and he {is} skin diseased or flowing, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And the one touching anything unclean of a person or a man who has go out from him a lying of seed

or a man who touches any swarming {thing} that makes him unclean or a person who makes him unclean, whatever his uncleanness,

the person who touches it will be unclean until the evening. And he shall not eat from the holy things unless he washes his body with the water. \*

And the sun will go, and he will be clean. And afterward, he may eat from the holy things, because it {is} his bread.

An {animal} carcass or a torn {animal} he shall not eat, to become unclean by it. I {am} God.

And they shall keep my watch, and they shall not bear sin with regard to it and die by it, because they profaned it. I {am} God, the one making them holy. \*

But any stranger may not eat the holy thing. A dweller of the priest or a hired {person} may not eat the holy thing.

But a priest, when he buys a person, the property of his silver, he himself may eat it. And one born of his house, they themselves may eat his bread. \*

And a daughter of a priest, when she becomes the wife of a stranger, she herself may not eat the contribution of the holy things.

But the daughter of a priest, when she becomes a widow or a divorced {woman}, and there is no seed for her, and she returns to the house of her father as her youth—she may eat from the bread of her father. And any stranger may not eat it. \*

And a man, when he eats a holy thing by mistake, then he shall add its fifth on it, and he shall give the holy thing to the priest.

And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, that which they raise to God,

or they shall cause themselves to bear the iniquity of guilt by their eating their holy things. For I {am} God, the one making them holy.’” \*

And God spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘A man, a man from the house of Israel or from the sojourner in Israel, who presents his offering, for any of their vows or for any of their freewill offerings, which they present to God as a burnt offering,

for your acceptance, a perfect male among the cattle, among the sheep, or among the goats. \*

Anything on which {is} a blemish you shall not present, because it will not be acceptable for you.

And a man, when he presents a sacrifice of peace offerings to God to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering among the cattle or among the flock, it shall be perfect for acceptance. Any blemish shall not be on it: \*

blindness or being broken or being maimed or {having} a running {sore} or a scab or a sore—these you shall not present to God. And a gift you shall not give from them on the altar to God.

But an ox or a lamb, extended or stunted, you may make it {as} a freewill offering, but it will not be accepted for a vow. \*

But bruised or crushed or torn or cut you shall not present to God, and in your land, you shall not do.

And from the hand of a son of a foreigner, you shall not present the bread of your God from any of these because their being ruined is on them and a blemish is on them. They will not be accepted for you.’” \*

And God spoke to Moses, saying,

“An ox or a lamb or a goat, when it is born, then it shall be seven days under its mother. And from the eighth day and beyond, it may be accepted as an offering, a gift to God. \*

But an ox or a flock {animal}, it and its son you shall not slaughter on one day.

And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to God, you shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.

On that day, it shall be eaten; you must not leave some of it until morning. I {am} God. \*

And you shall keep my commandments, and you shall do them. I {am} God.

And you shall not profane the name of my holiness, but I will show myself to be holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. I {am} God, the one making you holy,

the one bringing you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I {am} God.” \*
