LE-22:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LE-22:2 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.
LE-22:3 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.
LE-22:4 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;
LE-22:5 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;
LE-22:6 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.
LE-22:7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall
afterward eat
of the holy things; because it [is] his food.
LE-22:8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn [with beasts],
he shall not
eat to defile himself therewith: I [am] the LORD.
LE-22:9 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.
LE-22:10 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.
LE-22:11 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.
LE-22:12 If the priest's daughter also be [married] unto a
stranger, she may
not eat of an offering of the holy things.
LE-22:13 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.
LE-22:14 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.
LE-22:15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the
children of
Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
LE-22:16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when
they eat their
holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
LE-22:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LE-22:18 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;
LE-22:19 [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without
blemish, of the
beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
LE-22:20 [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not
offer: for it
shall not be acceptable for you.
LE-22:21 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.
LE-22:22 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.
LE-22:23 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.
LE-22:24 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.
LE-22:25 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.
LE-22:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LE-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
thenceforth it
shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
LE-22:28 And [whether it be] cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it
and her young
both in one day.
LE-22:29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving
unto the LORD,
offer [it] at your own will.
LE-22:30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave
none of it
until the morrow: I [am] the LORD.
LE-22:31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them:
I [am] the
LORD.
LE-22:32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be
hallowed among
the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you,
LE-22:33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your
God: I [am]
the LORD.
