[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that
they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name: I am
Yahweh. [3] Tell them, Whoever he be of all your seed throughout your
generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the children of
Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall
be cut off from before me: I am Yahweh. [4] Whatever man of the seed of
Aaron is a leper, or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things,
until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or
a man whose seed goes from him; [5] or whoever touches any creeping thing,
whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
whatever uncleanness he has; [6] the soul that touches any such shall be
unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he
bathe his flesh in water. [7] When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and
afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. [8]
That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, to
defile himself therewith: I am Yahweh. [9] They shall therefore keep my
charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I
am Yahweh who sanctifies them. [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. [11] But if a priest buy 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. [12] If a priest`s daughter be married to a stranger, she
shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things. [13] But if a
priest`s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be
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. [14] If a man eat of
the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part of it to it,
and shall give to the priest the holy thing. [15] They shall not profane
the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh, [16]
and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat
their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them. [17] Yahweh spoke
to Moses, saying, [18] Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the
children of Israel, and tell them, Whoever he be of the house of Israel, or
of the sojourners in Israel, that offers his offering, whether it be any of
their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer to Yahweh
for a burnt offering; [19] that you may be accepted, [you shall offer] a
male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats. [20] But
whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be
acceptable for you. [21] Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace-offerings to
Yahweh 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
therein. [22] Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or
scabbed, you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire
of them on the altar to Yahweh. [23] Either a bull or a lamb that has any
deformity or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a
freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. [24] That which
has its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, you shall not offer
to Yahweh; neither shall you do [thus] in your land. [25] Neither from the
hand of a foreigner shall you 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. [26] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [27] When a
bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days
under the hen; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted
for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh. [28] Whether it be
cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day. [29] When
you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it
that you may be accepted. [30] On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall
leave none of it until the morning: I am Yahweh. [31] Therefore shall you
keep my commandments, and do them: I am Yahweh. [32] You shall not profane
my holy name; but I will be made holy among the children of Israel: I am
Yahweh who makes you holy, [33] who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: I am Yahweh.
