Leviticus
22:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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.
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;
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;
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.
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.
22:8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to
defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
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.
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.
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.
22:12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not
eat of an offering of the holy things.
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.
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.
22:15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer unto the LORD;
22:16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their
holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
22:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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;
22:19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves,
of the sheep, or of the goats.
22:20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not
be acceptable for you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22:26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
22:28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in
one day.
22:29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer
it at your own will.
22:30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until
the morrow: I am the LORD.
22:31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
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,
22:33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the
LORD.
