| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto Aaron and to
his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name:
I am Jehovah. 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout
your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children
of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul
shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah. 4 What man soever of the
seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy
things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the
dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 5 or whosoever toucheth any
creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take
uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6 the soul that toucheth any
such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things,
unless he bathe his flesh in water. 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. 8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not
eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah. 9 They shall therefore
keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane
it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth 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 And if a
priest's daughter be married unto 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 unto her father's
house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread: but there shall
no stranger eat thereof. 14 And if a man eat of the holy thing
unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give
unto the priest the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy
things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah, 16 and
so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat
their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 18 Speak unto Aaron, and to
his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever
he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth
his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their
freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;
19 that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish,
of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But whatsoever hath a
blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto 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 therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye
shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon
the altar unto Jehovah. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything
superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a
freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 That which
hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer
unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do thus in your land. 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.
26 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 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 thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of
an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye
shall not kill it and its young both in one day. 29 And when ye sacrifice
a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may
be accepted. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of
it until the morning: I am Jehovah. 31 Therefore shall ye keep my
commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah. 32 And ye shall not profane my
holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah
who halloweth you, 33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your
God: I am Jehovah.
