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 priests daughter also
be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the
holy things.
13 But if the priests daughter be
a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her fathers
house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her fathers 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 strangers 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.
