Leviticus 22
1. And the LORD 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,and that they profane * not my holy name in those things which they hallow * unto me: I am the LORD.
3. Say * unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth * unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow * unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off * from my presence:I am the LORD.
4. What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper * , or hath a running issue * ; he shall not eat * of the holy things, until he be clean * . And whoso toucheth * any thing 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 which hath touched * any such shall be unclean * until even, and shall not eat * of the holy things, unless he wash * his flesh with water.
7. And when the sun is down * , he shall be clean * , and shall afterward eat * of the holy things; because it is his food.
8. That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat * to defile * himself therewith: I am the LORD.
9. They shall therefore keep * mine ordinance, lest they bear * sin for it, and die * therefore, if they profane * it: I the LORD do sanctify * them.
10. There shall no stranger * eat * of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat * of the holy thing.
11. But if the priest buy * any soul with his money, he shall eat * of it, and he that is born in his house:they shall eat * of his meat.
12. If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger * , she may not eat * of an offering of the holy things.
13. But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced * , and have no child,and is returned * unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat * of her father's meat: 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 * it unto the priest with the holy thing.
15. And they shall not profane * the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer * unto the LORD;
16. Or suffer them to bear * the iniquity of trespass, when they eat * their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify * them.
17. And the LORD spake * unto Moses, saying * ,
18. Speak * unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say * unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer * his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer * unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
19. Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, 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 the LORD to accomplish * his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, 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 the LORD, nor make * an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
23. Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous * or lacking in his parts * , that mayest thou offer * for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted * .
24. Ye shall not offer * unto the LORD that which is bruised * , or crushed * , or broken * , or cut * ; neither shall ye make * any offering thereof in your land.
25. Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer * the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted * for you.
26. And the LORD 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 an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28. And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill * it and her young both in one day.
29. And when ye will offer * a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer * it at your own will.
30. On the same day it shall be eaten up * ; ye shall leave * none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
31. Therefore shall ye keep * my commandments, and do * them: I am the LORD.
32. Neither shall ye profane * my holy name; but I will be hallowed * among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow * you,
33. That brought you out * of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
