Leviticus 22
22
1 The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
3 Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
4 The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,
5 and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,
6 shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,
7 and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.
8 Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.
9 Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
10 No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.
11 But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.
12 If the daughter of a priest has been married to any of the people, she shall not eat from what has been sanctified, nor from the first-fruits.
13 But if she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father's house, she shall be nourished by her father's foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.
14 Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.
15 And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,
16 lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man from the house of Israel, or from the newcomers who live with you, who would bring forward his oblation, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whatever he brings forward as a holocaust for the Lord,
19 in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.
20 If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.
21 The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
22 If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of the Lord.
23 An ox or a sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.
24 You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.
25 From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.
28 Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.
29 If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,
30 you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.
31 Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
32 Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,
33 and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.

Leviticus 22
22
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel: and defile not the name of the things sanctified to me which they offer. I am the Lord.
3Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
4The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead: and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation:
5And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defilin:
6Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water,
7And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.
8That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.
9Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
10No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.
11But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.
12If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified, nor of the first-fruits.
13But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father's house, she shall eat of her father's meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid. No stranger hath leave to eat of them.
14He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.
15And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:
16Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
17And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,
19To be offered by you: it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
20If it have a blemish you shall not offer it: neither shall it be acceptable.
21The man that offereth a victim of peace-offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
22If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord's altar.
23An ox or a sheep, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.
24You shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such thing in your land.
25You shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all corrupted, and defiled. You shall not receive them.
26And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord.
28Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the same day with their young ones.
29If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
30You shall eat it the same day. There shall not any of it remain until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord.
31Keep my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
32Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you:
33And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. I am the Lord.
