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.”

Holy Offerings
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2#Lev 18:21; Dt 15:19Speak to Aaron and to his sons that they should be very respectful with the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they do not defile My holy name with those things which the people have consecrated to Me: I am the Lord.
3#Lev 7:20–21Say to them: Whoever from your offspring through your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel have dedicated to the Lord, while he has uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.
4#Lev 11:39; 15:2–3If a man of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge, he shall not eat of the holy offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by contact with the dead or a man who had an emission of semen, 5#Lev 15:7; 11:43–44or whoever touches any crawling thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may receive uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has, 6#Lev 15:5; Heb 10:22the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he washes his body with water. 7#Lev 21:22When the sun goes down, he shall be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his food. 8#Lev 17:15; Ex 22:31That which dies of itself or is torn by animals he shall not eat, becoming unclean by it: I am the Lord.
9#Ex 28:43; Nu 18:22They shall therefore keep My ordinance, lest they bear sin from it and therefore die if they defile it: I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
10#1Sa 21:6; Mt 12:4There shall be no outsider#Or stranger. who eats of a holy thing, whether a foreign guest of the priest or a hired servant, he shall not eat of a holy offering. 11#Ge 17:13But if a priest buys a person with his money, the person acquired shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house shall eat of his food. 12If the priest’s daughter marries an outsider, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13#Ge 38:11; Lev 10:14But 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 of her father’s food; but no outsider may eat of it.
14#Lev 27:13; 27:15If a man eats the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add a fifth of the value to it and shall give the holy thing to the priest. 15#Nu 18:32; Lev 19:8They shall not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord, 16#Lev 22:9and cause them to suffer and to bear the iniquity of guilt when they eat their holy things, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
Acceptable Offerings
17The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 18#Lev 1:2; Nu 15:3Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: Whoever from the house of Israel or from the foreigners in Israel who offers his burnt offering for any vows or freewill offerings that he offers to the Lord, 19#Lev 1:3; 1:10then if it is to be accepted for you, the offering shall be a male without blemish, a bull, sheep, or goat. 20#Dt 17:1; 15:21; Mal 1:8But whatever has a blemish you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21#Nu 15:3; 15:8Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering, whether from the herd or flock, to be accepted it shall be perfect, with no blemish on it. 22#Lev 22:20; 1:9Blind, or disabled, or maimed, or having an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor make a food offering by fire on the altar to the Lord. 23#Lev 21:18A herd animal or a flock animal that has a limb that is too long or short you may offer for a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24#Lev 22:20You shall not offer to the Lord an animal that is bruised or crushed or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land. 25#Lev 21:6; 21:8Nor from a foreigner shall you offer an animal as the food of your God, because a blemish is in them from their mutilation. They shall not be accepted for you.
26The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 27#Ex 22:30; Lev 12:2–3; 19:23–24When an ox, or a sheep, or a goat is born, then it shall be seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted for a food offering made by fire to the Lord. 28#Dt 22:6–7; Ex 23:19But you shall not slaughter on the same day an ox or a sheep and her young.
29#Ps 107:22; 116:17When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it so that it may be accepted. 30On the same day it shall be eaten. You shall leave none of it until the next day: I am the Lord.
31#Dt 4:40; Lev 19:37Therefore you shall keep My commandments and do them: I am the Lord. 32#Lev 18:21; 10:3You shall not defile My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the children of Israel: I am the Lord who sanctifies you, 33#Lev 11:45; Ex 6:7who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.
