¹ And the Lord said to Moses,

² Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,

³ Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.

⁴ No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him;

⁵ Or anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever;

⁶ Any person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water;

⁷ And when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part in the holy food, because it is his bread.

⁸ That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

⁹ So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

¹⁰ No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

¹¹ But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.

¹² And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.

¹³ But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.

¹⁴ And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.

¹⁵ And they may not make common the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord,

¹⁶ So causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am the Lord who make them holy.

¹⁷ And the Lord said to Moses,

¹⁸ Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;

¹⁹ So that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark, from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats.

²⁰ But anything which has a mark you may not give; it will not make you pleasing to the Lord.

²¹ And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.

²² Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.

²³ An ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath.

²⁴ An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.

²⁵ And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.

²⁶ And the Lord said to Moses,

²⁷ When an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

²⁸ A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.

²⁹ And when you make an offering of praise to the Lord, make it in a way which is pleasing to him.

³⁰ Let it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.

³¹ So then, keep my orders and do them: I am the Lord.

³² And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,

³³ Who took you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God: I am the Lord.

¹ "'This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy.

² In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar.

³ He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards,

⁴ and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away;

⁵ and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass offering.

⁶ Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

⁷ "'As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it.

⁸ The priest who offers any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

⁹ Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the pan, and on the griddle, shall be the priest's who offers it.

¹⁰ Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

¹¹ "'This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to Yahweh.

¹² If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil.

¹³ With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving.

¹⁴ Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to Yahweh. It shall be the priest's who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

¹⁵ The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.

¹⁶ "'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten:

¹⁷ but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

¹⁸ If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.

¹⁹ "'The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it;

²⁰ but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²¹ When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Yahweh, that soul shall be cut off from his people.'"

²² Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²³ "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat.

²⁴ The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it.

²⁵ For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶ You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings.

²⁷ Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.'"

²⁸ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁹ "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

³⁰ With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Yahweh.

³¹ The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

³² The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

³³ He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.

³⁴ For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.'"

³⁵ This is the anointing portion of Aaron, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to Yahweh in the priest's office;

³⁶ which Yahweh commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings;

³⁸ which Yahweh commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai.
