Leviticus 22:1
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:2
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they hallow to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:3
Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:4
Whatever man of the seed of Aaron being a man with a leprous disease, or has an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him,
Leviticus 22:5
or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has,
Leviticus 22:6
the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening. And shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathe his flesh in water.
Leviticus 22:7
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
Leviticus 22:8
That which dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it. I am Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:9
They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die in it if they profane it. I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
Leviticus 22:10
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing. A sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Leviticus 22:11
But if a priest buys any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it, and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
Leviticus 22:12
And if a priest's daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
Leviticus 22:13
But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread, but there shall no stranger eat of it.
Leviticus 22:14
And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part of it to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
Leviticus 22:15
And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to Jehovah,
Leviticus 22:16
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
Leviticus 22:17
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:18
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he is of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who offers his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Jehovah for a burnt offering,
Leviticus 22:19
that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.
Leviticus 22:20
But whatever has a blemish, that ye shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Leviticus 22:21
And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.
Leviticus 22:22
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a skin tumor, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:23
Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that thou may offer for a freewill offering, but it shall not be accepted for a vow.
Leviticus 22:24
That which has its testicles bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer to Jehovah, neither shall ye do thus in your land.
Leviticus 22:25
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them; there is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.
Leviticus 22:26
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:27
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam, and from the eighth day and after that it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:28
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
Leviticus 22:29
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
Leviticus 22:30
It shall be eaten on the same day. Ye shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:31
Therefore ye shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Jehovah.
Leviticus 22:32
And ye shall not profane my holy name, but I will be hallowed among the sons of Israel. I am Jehovah who hallows you,
Leviticus 22:33
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Jehovah.
