Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 22
22
1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“Speak to Aharon and his sons, that they separate themselves from the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and that they do not profane My set-apart Name in what they set apart to Me. I am יהוה.
3Say to them, ‘Any man of all your offspring throughout your generations who draws near the set-apart offerings which the children of Yisra’ĕl set apart to יהוה, while he has uncleanness upon him, that being shall be cut off from before Me. I am יהוה.
4‘Any man of the offspring of Aharon, who is a leper or has a discharge, does not eat the set-apart offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches what is rendered unclean by a being, or a man who has had an emission of semen,
5or a man who touches any swarming creature by which he would be made unclean, or any being by whom he would become unclean, even any of his uncleanness;
6the being who has touched it shall be unclean until evening, and does not eat the set-apart offerings, but shall bathe his body in water.
7‘And when the sun goes down he shall be clean, and afterward eat the set-apart offerings, because it is his food.
8‘He does not eat that which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it. I am יהוה.
9‘And they shall guard My Charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, when they profane it. I יהוה set them apart.
10‘And no stranger eats the set-apart offering. A sojourner with the priest, or a hired servant, does not eat the set-apart offering.
11‘But when the priest buys a being with his silver, he does eat of it. And one who is born in his house does eat his food.
12‘And when a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she does not eat of the set-apart offerings.
13‘But when a priest’s daughter is a widow or put away, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she does eat her father’s food, but no stranger eats of it.
14‘And when a man eats the set-apart offering by mistake, then he shall give a set-apart offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it.
15‘And let the priests not profane the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה,
16or allow them to bear the crookedness of trespass when they eat their set-apart offerings. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”
17And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
18“Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers in Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for any of his voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה as an ascending offering,
19for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.
20‘Whatever has a defect, you do not bring, for it is not acceptable for you.
21‘And when a man brings a slaughtering of peace offerings to יהוה, to complete a vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to be accepted, let there be no defect in it.
22‘Those blind or broken or cut, or having an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of them on the slaughter-place to יהוה.
23‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted.
24‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land.
25‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ”
26And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
27“When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother. And from the eighth day and thereafter it is acceptable as an offering made by fire to יהוה.
28“But do not slay a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.
29“And when you slaughter a slaughtering of thanksgiving to יהוה, slaughter it for your acceptance.
30“It is eaten that same day, leave none of it till morning. I am יהוה.
31“And you shall guard My commands and do them. I am יהוה.
32And do not profane My set-apart Name, and I shall be set-apart among the children of Yisra’ĕl. I am יהוה, who sets you apart,”
33who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am יהוה.”

Leviticus 22
22
1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they #Num. 6:3separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they #Lev. 18:21do not profane My holy name by what they #Ex. 28:38; Lev. 16:19; 25:10; Num. 18:32; Deut. 15:19dedicate to Me: I am the Lord. 3Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the Lord, #Lev. 7:20, 21; Num. 19:13while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.
4‘Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a #Num. 5:2leper or has #Lev. 15:2a discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings #Lev. 14:2; 15:13until he is clean. And #Lev. 11:24–28, 39, 40; Num. 19:11whoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or #Lev. 15:16, 17a man who has had an emission of semen, 5or #Lev. 11:23–28whoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or #Lev. 15:7, 19any person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be— 6the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he #Lev. 15:5washes his body with water. 7And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because #Lev. 21:22; Num. 18:11, 13it is his food. 8#Ex. 22:31; Lev. 7:24; 11:39, 40; 17:15; Ezek. 44:31Whatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.
9‘They shall therefore keep #Lev. 18:30My ordinance, #Ex. 28:43; Lev. 22:16; Num. 18:22lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the Lord sanctify them.
10#Ex. 29:33; Lev. 22:13; Num. 3:10‘No outsider shall eat the holy offering; one who dwells with the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat the holy thing. 11But if the priest #Ex. 12:44buys a person with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat his food. 12If the priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy offerings. 13But if the priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food; but no outsider shall eat it.
14‘And if a man eats the #Num. 18:32holy offering unintentionally, then he shall restore a holy offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it. 15They shall not profane the holy offerings of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord, 16or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy offerings; for I the Lord sanctify them.’ ”
Offerings Accepted and Not Accepted
17And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: #Lev. 1:2, 3, 10‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer to the Lord as a burnt offering— 19#Lev. 1:3; Deut. 15:21you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats. 20#Deut. 15:21; 17:1; Mal. 1:8, 14; (Eph. 5:27; Heb. 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:19)Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf. 21And #Lev. 3:1, 6whoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, #Num. 15:3, 8; Ps. 61:8; 65:1; Eccl. 5:4, 5to fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it. 22#Lev. 22:20; Mal. 1:8Those that are blind or broken or maimed, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make #Lev. 1:9, 13; 3:3, 5an offering by fire of them on the altar to the Lord. 23Either a bull or a lamb that has any limb #Lev. 21:18too long or too short you may offer as a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24‘You shall not offer to the Lord what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land. 25Nor #Num. 15:15, 16from a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as #Lev. 21:6, 17the bread of your God, because their #Mal. 1:14corruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’ ”
26And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 27#Ex. 22:30“When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted as an offering made by fire to the Lord. 28Whether it is a cow or ewe, do not kill both her #Deut. 22:6, 7and her young on the same day. 29And when you #Lev. 7:12; Ps. 107:22; 116:17; Amos 4:5offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will. 30On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave #Lev. 7:15none of it until morning: I am the Lord.
31#Lev. 19:37; Num. 15:40; Deut. 4:40“Therefore you shall keep My commandments, and perform them: I am the Lord. 32#Lev. 18:21You shall not profane My holy name, but #Lev. 10:3; Matt. 6:9; Luke 11:2I will be hallowed among the children of Israel. I am the Lord who #Lev. 20:8sanctifies you, 33#Lev. 19:36, 37; Num. 15:40; Deut. 4:40who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.”
