1 T hen the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 “ Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the Lord.

`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I Jehovah.

3 S ay to them, ‘ If any man among all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy gifts which the sons of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am the Lord.

`Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him -- even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I Jehovah.

4 N o man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if a man has a seminal emission,

`Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue -- of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,

5 o r if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness;

or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness --

6 a person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his body in water.

the person who cometh against it -- hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,

7 B ut when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for it is his food.

and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it his food;

8 H e shall not eat an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it; I am the Lord.

a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I Jehovah.

9 T hey shall therefore keep My charge, so that they will not bear sin because of it and die thereby because they profane it; I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

`And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I Jehovah sanctifying them.

10 ‘ No layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a sojourner with the priest or a hired man shall not eat of the holy gift.

`And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;

11 B ut if a priest buys a slave as his property with his money, that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food.

and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.

12 I f a priest’s daughter is married to a layman, she shall not eat of the offering of the gifts.

`And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, -- she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;

13 B ut if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced, and has no child and returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s food; but no layman shall eat of it.

and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.

14 B ut if a man eats a holy gift unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it and shall give the holy gift to the priest.

`And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given to the priest, with the holy thing;

15 T hey shall not profane the holy gifts of the sons of Israel which they offer to the Lord,

and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel -- that which they lift up to Jehovah,

16 a nd so cause them to bear punishment for guilt by eating their holy gifts; for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’” Flawless Animals for Sacrifice

nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

17 T hen the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

18 “ Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘ Any man of the house of Israel or of the aliens in Israel who presents his offering, whether it is any of their votive or any of their freewill offerings, which they present to the Lord for a burnt offering—

`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

19 f or you to be accepted— it must be a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats.

at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

20 W hatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you.

nothing in which blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

21 W hen a man offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill a special vow or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.

`And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;

22 T hose that are blind or fractured or maimed or having a running sore or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the Lord.

blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed -- ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.

23 I n respect to an ox or a lamb which has an overgrown or stunted member, you may present it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted.

`As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed -- a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.

24 A lso anything with its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut, you shall not offer to the Lord, or sacrifice in your land,

As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing -- ye do not bring near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.

25 n or shall you accept any such from the hand of a foreigner for offering as the food of your God; for their corruption is in them, they have a defect, they shall not be accepted for you.’”

And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption in them; blemish in them; they are not pleasing for you.'

26 T hen the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

27 “ When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted as a sacrifice of an offering by fire to the Lord.

`When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;

28 B ut, whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not kill both it and its young in one day.

but an ox or sheep -- it and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.

29 W hen you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

`And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,

30 I t shall be eaten on the same day, you shall leave none of it until morning; I am the Lord.

on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I Jehovah;

31 S o you shall keep My commandments, and do them; I am the Lord.

and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I Jehovah;

32 “ You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the sons of Israel; I am the Lord who sanctifies you,

and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I Jehovah, sanctifying you,

33 w ho brought you out from the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am the Lord.”

who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I Jehovah.'
