Leviticus 22
1And
the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
2Speak
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.
3Say
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.
4What
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;
5Or
whosoever toucheth any
creeping thing,
whereby he may be made
unclean, or a man of
whom he may take
uncleanness,
whatsoever uncleanness
he hath;
6The
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.
7And
when the sun is down,
he shall be clean, and
shall afterward eat of
the holy things;
because it is his
food.
8That
which dieth of itself,
or is torn with
beasts, he shall not
eat to defile himself
therewith; I am the
LORD.
9They
shall therefore keep
mine ordinance, lest
they bear sin for it,
and die therefore, if
they profane it: I the
LORD do sanctify them.
10There
shall no stranger eat
of the holy thing: a
sojourner of the
priest, or an hired
servant, shall not eat
of the holy thing.
11But
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.
12If
the priest's daughter
also be married unto a
stranger, she may not
eat of an offering of
the holy things.
13But
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
be no stranger eat
thereof.
14And
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.
15And
they shall not profane
the holy things of the
children of Israel,
which they offer unto
the LORD;
16Or
suffer them to bear
the iniquity of
trespass, when they
eat their holy things:
for I the LORD do
sanctify them.
17And
the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
18Speak
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;
19Ye
shall offer at your
own will a male
without blemish, of
the beeves, of the
sheep, or of the
goats.
20But
whatsoever hath a
blemish, that shall ye
not offer: for it
shall not be
acceptable for you.
21And
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.
22Blind,
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.
23Either
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.
24Ye
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.
25Neither
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.
26And
the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
27When
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.
28And
whether it be cow, or
ewe, ye shall not kill
it and her young both
in one day.
29And
when ye will offer a
sacrifice of
thanksgiving unto the
LORD, offer it at your
own will.
30On
the same day it shall
be eaten up; ye shall
leave none of it until
the morrow: I am the
LORD.
31Therefore
shall ye keep my
commandments, and do
them: I am the LORD.
32Neither
shall ye profane my
holy name; but I will
be hallowed among the
children of Israel: I
am the LORD which
hallow you,
33That
brought you out of the
land of Egypt, to be
your God: I am the
LORD.
