And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, saying,
2
Speak to▵ Aaron and to▵ his sons, that they separate▵ themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and that they profane not My holy name in those things which they◦ hallow to Me; I◦ am Jehovah.
3
Say to▵ them, Every man◦ from all your seed to your generations, who comes··near to▵ the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to Jehovah, and his uncleanness upon him, even▵ that◦ soul shall be cut··off from before Me; I◦ am Jehovah.
4
A man◦, a man◦ from the seed of Aaron and he◦ is a leper, or has a flow, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be··clean. And whoever▵ touches any thing that is unclean by the soul*, or a man◦ whose laying··down of seed goes··out from him;
5
or a man◦ who touches any crawling thing, by which he may be··made··unclean, or man by which he may be··made··unclean, whatever his uncleanness;
6
the soul which has touched any such shall··be··unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless▵ he bathe his flesh with water.
7
And when the sun sets▵, he shall be clean, and shall afterwards eat of the holy things; because◦ it◦ is his bread.
8
The carcass and that which is torn, he shall not eat to defile himself with it; I◦ am Jehovah.
9
And they shall keep My charge, that they not bear sin against it, and die, if▫ they profane it; I◦, Jehovah, do sanctify them.
10
And not any stranger shall eat of the holy thing; a lodger of the priest, or◦ a hireling, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11
But if▫ a priest buy a soul buying with his silver, he◦ shall eat of it; and he that is born in his house, they◦ shall eat of his bread.
12
And if▫ a daughter of a priest be married to a man◦, a stranger, she◦ may not eat of an uplifting◦ of the holy things.
13
But when◦ the daughter of the priest is a widow, or◦ driven··out, and she has◦ no seed, and returns to▵ the house of her father, as in her youth, she shall eat of the bread of her father; but not any stranger shall eat of it.
14
And if▫ a man◦ eat of the holy thing in ignorance, then he shall add its fifth part over it, and shall give it to the priest with◦ the holy thing.
15
And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they lift··high to Jehovah;
16
or◦ cause them to carry the iniquity of guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I◦ Jehovah do sanctify them.
17
And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, saying,
18
Speak to▵ Aaron, and to▵ his sons, and to▵ all the sons of Israel, and say to▵ them, A man◦, a man◦ of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that will offer his offering for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to Jehovah for a burnt··offering;
19
you shall offer at your own good··pleasure a perfect male, among◦ the cattle, among◦ the sheep▵, or among◦ the goats.
20
Any that has a blemish you shall not offer; for it shall not be well··pleasing for you.
21
And when◦ a man◦ offers a sacrifice of peace··offerings to Jehovah to make··a··special◦ vow, or a freewill offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect for good··pleasure; there shall not be any blemish in it.
22
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a streaming◦ sore, or scabies, or warts, you shall not offer these to Jehovah, nor put◦ a fire··offering of them◦ upon the altar to Jehovah.
23
Both an ox and a sheep◦ having any thing too··long◦ or too··short, it thou mayest make a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be well··pleasing.
24
And you shall not offer to Jehovah that which is pressed··in, or beaten··down, or pulled··apart, or cut··off; and in your land you shall not do this.
25
Neither from the hand of the son of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; for there is corruption in them◦, and a blemish is in them; they shall not be well··pleasing for you.
26
And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses, saying,
27
When◦ an ox, or a sheep▵, or a goat, is··born, then it shall be seven days under its mother; and from the eighth day and beyond it shall be well··pleasing for an offering, a fire··offering to Jehovah.
28
And an ox or a sheep◦, you shall not slaughter it and its young◦ in one day.
29
And when◦ you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, sacrifice it at◦ your own good··pleasure.
30
In that◦ day it shall be eaten··up; you shall let none▵ of it remain until the morning; I◦ am Jehovah.
31
And they shall keep My commandments, and do them; I◦ am Jehovah.
32
Neither shall you profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I◦ am Jehovah who hallows you,
33
who brought· you ·out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I◦ am Jehovah.
