Leviticus
Chapter 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.
