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.

Holy Offerings
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2Speak to Aaron and to his sons that they should be very respectful with the holy things of the Israelites, and that they do not defile My holy name with those things which the people have consecrated to Me: I am the Lord. # Lev 18:21
3Say to them: Whoever from your offspring through your generations approaches the holy things, which the Israelites have dedicated to the Lord, while he has uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from My presence: # Lev 7:20–21 I am the Lord.
4If 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, # Lev 15:2–3 5or whoever touches any crawling thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may receive uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has, # Lev 11:43–44; 15:7 6the 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. # Lev 15:5; Heb 10:22 7When the sun goes down, he shall be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his food. # Lev 21:22 8That which dies of itself or is torn by animals he shall not eat, becoming unclean by it: # Ex 22:31; Lev 17:15 I am the Lord.
9They shall therefore keep My ordinance, lest they bear sin from it and therefore die if they defile it: # Ex 28:43; Nu 18:22 I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
10There shall be no outsider # 22:10 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. # 1Sa 21:6; Mt 12:4 11But if a priest buys a person with his money, # Ge 17:13 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. 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 of her father’s food, but no outsider may eat of it.
14If a man eats the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add one-fifth of the value to it and shall give the holy thing to the priest. # Lev 27:13, 15 15They shall not defile the holy things of the Israelites, # Nu 18:32 which they offer to the Lord, 16and 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. # Lev 22:9
Acceptable Offerings
17The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 18Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the Israelites, 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, # Lev 1:2; Nu 15:3 19then if it is to be accepted for you, the offering shall be a male without blemish, a bull, sheep, or goat. # Lev 1:3, 10 20But whatever has a blemish you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you. # Dt 15:21; 17:1; Mal 1:8 21Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering, whether from the herd or flock, # Nu 15:3, 8 to be accepted it shall be perfect, with no blemish on it. 22Blind, or disabled, or maimed, or having an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer these to the Lord, # Lev 22:20 nor make a food offering by fire on the altar to the Lord. # Lev 1:9 23A herd animal or a flock animal that has a limb that is too long or short you may offer for a freewill offering, # Lev 21:18 but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24You 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. # Lev 22:20 25Nor from a foreigner shall you offer an animal as the food of your God, # Lev 21:6 because a blemish is in them from their mutilation. They shall not be accepted for you.
26The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 27When an ox, or a sheep, or a goat is born, then it shall be seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day # Ex 22:30; Lev 12:2–3 and thereafter it shall be accepted for a food offering made by fire to the Lord. # Lev 19:23–24 28But you shall not slaughter on the same day an ox or a sheep and her young. # Ex 23:19; Dt 22:6–7
29When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, # Ps 107:22; 116:17 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.
31Therefore you shall keep My commandments and do them: I am the Lord. # Lev 19:37; Dt 4:40 32You shall not defile My holy name, # Lev 18:21 but I will be sanctified among the Israelites: I am the Lord who sanctifies you, # Lev 10:3 33who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord. # Ex 6:7; Lev 11:45
