1 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “ Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons that they abstain from the holy things of the sons of Israel and that they not profane my holy name in those things which they sanctify unto me. I am the LORD.

3 “ Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

Say unto them, Any man of all your seed among your generations that goes in unto the holy things, which the children of Israel sanctify unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD.

4 “ ‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose offspring goes from him;

Whatever man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper or has a running issue shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whosoever touches any thing that is unclean by the dead or a man whose seed has gone out from him

5 o r whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

or the man who has touched any reptile, by which he shall be unclean, or a man of whom he shall become unclean, according to whatever uncleanness he has,

6 t he person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.

the person who has touched any such shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things until he has washed his flesh with water.

7 W hen the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

And when the sun is down, he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

8 T hat which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.

That which dies of itself or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith. I am the LORD.

9 “ ‘They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

They shall therefore keep my ordinance lest they bear sin for it and die therefore, if they profane it. I AM he who sanctifies them.

10 “ ‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

¶ No stranger shall eat of the holy thing; a guest of the priest or a hired servant shall not eat of the holy thing.

11 B ut if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

But when the priest shall buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

12 I f a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

If the priest’s daughter becomes married unto a stranger, she may not eat of that which is set apart of the holy things.

13 B ut if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.

But if the priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced and has no child and is returned unto her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat thereof.

14 “ ‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

And if a man eats of the holy thing by error, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto it and shall give it unto the priest with the offering that he ate.

15 T he priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,

And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they set apart unto the LORD,

16 a nd so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

or suffer them to bear the iniquity of their guilt, when they eat their holy things. For I AM he who sanctifies them.

17 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

18 “ Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering;

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons and unto all the sons of Israel and say unto them, Any man 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 t hat you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

ye shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish of the bovine cattle of the sheep or of the goats.

20 B ut whatever has a defect, that you shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you.

But ye shall not offer any thing that has a blemish, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21 W hoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.

Likewise when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace unto the LORD to present his vow or a freewill offering in bovine cattle or sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

22 B lind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore: you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.

Blind or broken or maimed or having a running sore or scurvy or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering on fire of them upon the altar of the LORD.

23 E ither a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

A bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, thou may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 Y ou must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.

Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised or crushed or broken or cut; neither shall ye do thus in all your land.

25 Y ou must not offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner as any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”

Neither from the son of a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these because their corruption is in them and blemishes are in them; they shall not be accepted for you.

26 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

27 “ When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

When a bullock or a sheep or a goat is born, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering on fire unto the LORD.

28 W hether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

And whether it is cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

29 “ When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it of your own free will.

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

On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow. I am the LORD.

31 “ Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.

Keep, therefore, my commandments and do them. I am the LORD.

32 Y ou shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,

Profane ye not my holy name, and I will sanctify myself in the midst of the sons of Israel. I AM he who sanctifies you

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

and who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.
