Leviticus 22
1¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto Aaron and to his sons that they abstain from the holy things of the sons of Israel and that they not profane my holy name in those things which they sanctify unto me. I am the Lord.
3Say unto them, Any man of all your seed among your generations that goes in unto the holy things, which the children of Israel sanctify unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence. I am the Lord.
4Whatever man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper or has a running issue shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whosoever touches any thing that is unclean by the dead or a man whose seed has gone out from him
5or the man who has touched any reptile, by which he shall be unclean, or a man of whom he shall become unclean, according to whatever uncleanness he has,
6the person who has touched any such shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things until he has washed his flesh with water.
7And when the sun is down, he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8That which dies of itself or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith. I am the Lord.
9They shall therefore keep my ordinance lest they bear sin for it and die therefore, if they profane it. I AM he who sanctifies them.
10¶ No stranger shall eat of the holy thing; a guest of the priest or a hired servant shall not eat of the holy thing.
11But when 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 bread.
12If the priest’s daughter becomes married unto a stranger, she may not eat of that which is set apart of the holy things.
13But if the priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced and has no child and is returned unto her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat thereof.
14And if a man eats of the holy thing by error, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto it and shall give it unto the priest with the offering that he ate.
15And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they set apart unto the Lord,
16or suffer them to bear the iniquity of their guilt, when they eat their holy things. For I AM he who sanctifies them.
17¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
18Speak unto Aaron and to his sons and unto all the sons of Israel and say unto them, Any man 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 unto the Lord for a burnt offering,
19 ye shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish of the bovine cattle of the sheep or of the goats.
20 But ye shall not offer any thing that has a blemish, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21Likewise when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace unto the Lord to present his vow or a freewill offering in bovine cattle or sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22Blind or broken or maimed or having a running sore or scurvy or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor make an offering on fire of them upon the altar of the Lord.
23A bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, thou may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised or crushed or broken or cut; neither shall ye do thus in all your land.
25Neither from the son of 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.
26And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
27When a bullock or a sheep or a goat is born, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering on fire unto the Lord.
28And whether it is cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
29And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it of your own free will.
30On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow. I am the Lord.
31Keep, therefore, my commandments and do them. I am the Lord.
32Profane ye not my holy name, and I will sanctify myself in the midst of the sons of Israel. I AM he who sanctifies you
33and who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord.

Priests and Their Food
1Then#Or “And” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Tell#Or “Speak to” Aaron and his sons#Literally “to Aaron and to his sons” that#Or “and” they must deal respectfully with the Israelites’#Literally “sons/children of Israel” votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; I am Yahweh.
3“Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, any man from any of your offspring who comes near the votive offerings that the Israelites#Literally “sons/children of Israel” consecrate to Yahweh with#Or “and” his uncleanness on him, that person shall be cut off#Or “and that person shall be cut off” from before me;#Literally “to the faces of me” I am Yahweh.
4“ ‘Anyone#Literally “A man a man” from Aaron’s offspring, if#Or “and” he is afflicted with a skin disease or a fluid discharge, shall not eat in the sanctuary until#Literally “until which” he is clean; and the one who touches any unclean person or a man from whom an emission of semen goes out, 5or a man who touches any swarmer that is unclean for him or who touches a person who is unclean for him due to#Literally “for” whatever his uncleanness, 6a person who touches such a thing#Hebrew “him” or “it” shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat from the votive offerings, except#Or “but if” or “but rather” when he washes#Or “bathes” his body with water 7and the sun sets,#Literally “the sun goes” or “the sun enters” and he shall be clean; then#Or “and” afterward he may eat from the votive offerings, because it is his food. 8He shall not eat a naturally dead body or#Or “and” a mangled carcass, so that he becomes unclean#Literally “to become unclean” by it; I am Yahweh.
9“ ‘And they shall keep my obligation, and they shall not incur guilt because of it, so that#Or “and” they die through it, because they have profaned it; I am Yahweh who consecrates them.
10“ ‘No stranger shall eat#Literally “And any stranger shall not eat” the votive offering; nor shall a temporary resident with#Hebrew “of” a priest or#Or “and” a hired worker eat the votive offering. 11But#Or “And” a priest, if with his money he buys a person as his possession,#Literally “property of” that one may eat it, and the descendants of his house themselves may eat his food. 12And a priest’s daughter, when she marries a layman,#Literally “she becomes for a strange man” she herself may not eat the votive offering.#Literally “the offering/lifting of the votive offering” 13But#Or “And” a priest’s daughter, when she becomes a widow or#Or “and” divorced or there is no offspring for her, and she returns to her father’s house as in her childhood, she may eat from her father’s food, but#Or “and” no layman may eat it.#Literally “any stranger shall not eat it” 14And if a man eats the votive offering unintentionally, then#Or “and” he shall add to it a fifth of it, and he shall give the votive offering to the priest. 15And they shall not profane the Israelites’#Literally “sons/children of Israel” votive offerings that they present to Yahweh, 16and so cause them, by their eating their votive offerings, to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.’ ”
Acceptable Offerings
17Then#Or “And” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites,#Literally “sons/children of Israel” and say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel or#Or “and” from the alien in Israel who presents his offering for any of their vows or#Or “and” for any of their freewill offerings that they present to Yahweh as a burnt offering, 19it must be without defect to be acceptable for you:#Literally “for your acceptance” a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or#Or “and” among the goats. 20You shall not present any animal in which is a physical defect, because it shall not be acceptable#Literally “for acceptance” for you. 21And if anyone brings a sacrifice of fellowship offerings for Yahweh to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from#Or “among” the cattle or from#Or “among” the flock,#The Hebrew term refers collectively to both sheep and goats (small livestock animals) it must be without defect to be acceptable;#Literally “for acceptance” there must not be any physical defect in it. 22The blind or the injured or the maimed or the seeping or one with a skin disorder or one with a skin eruption—these you shall not present to Yahweh, nor shall you give from them an offering made by fire on the altar for Yahweh. 23As for#Or “And” an ox or sheep that is deformed or#Or “and” that is stunted, you may present it as a freewill offering, but#Or “and” for a vow it will not be accepted. 24And you shall not present anything for Yahweh with bruised or#Or “and” shattered or#Or “and” torn or#Or “and” cut-off testicles, and you shall not sacrifice#Literally “do” or “make” such in your land. 25And you shall not present your God’s food from any of these by the hand of a foreigner,#Literally “a son of a foreign land” because their deformity is in them; a physical defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.’ ”
26Then#Or “And” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 27“When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, then#Or “and” it shall be under its mother for seven days, and from the eighth day and beyond it is acceptable as an offering made by fire for Yahweh. 28And you shall not slaughter an ox or a sheep and its young#Literally “his son” or “his child” on the same day.#Literally “on day one” or “in one day” 29And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it to be acceptable for you. 30It must be eaten on that day; you must not leave over anything from it until morning; I am Yahweh.
31“Thus#Or “And” you shall keep my commands, and you shall do them; I am Yahweh.
32“And you shall not profane my holy name, so that I may be consecrated in the midst of the Israelites;#Literally “sons/children of Israel” I am Yahweh, who consecrates you, 33the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be as God for you; I am Yahweh.”
