Leviticus 22

CHAPTER 22 The Holy and the Profane

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons! And let them take heed concerning the holy things of the sons of Israel! and they shall not profane [²name ¹my holy], as much as they sanctify to me. I am the lord. 3 Say to them! Unto your generations every man who ever should come forward from all your seed to the holy things, as much as indeed [⁴should sanctify ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] to the lord, and his uncleanness is upon him, they shall utterly destroy that soul from me. I am the lord. 4 And the man of the seed of Aaron of the priest, that this one being leprous or having gonorrhea, [³of the ⁴holy things ¹shall not ²eat], until whenever he should be cleansed. And the one touching any uncleanness of soul, or a man in whom ever should come forth from out of his marriage-bed of semen, 5 or who ever should touch any [²reptile ¹unclean], which should defile him, or come upon a man in which he shall defile him according to any of his uncleanness; 6 the soul who ever should touch them will be unclean until evening; he shall not eat from the holy things if he should not have bathed his body in water. 7 And [³should go down ¹when the ²sun], then he will be clean, and then he shall eat from the holy things, for [²bread ¹it is his]. 8 Decaying flesh and that taken by wild beasts he shall not eat, to be defiled by it. I am the lord. 9 And they shall guard my injunctions, that they should not take [²on account of ³them ¹sin], and should die because of them, if they shall profane them. I am the lord, the one sanctifying them. 10 And all of another race shall not eat the holy things; a sojourner with a priest, or a hireling shall not eat the holy things. 11 And if a priest should acquire a soul procured with silver, he shall eat of his bread loaf; and his native-born servants, even these shall eat of his bread loaf. 12 And a daughter of a man a priest, if she should become the wife of a man of another race, she [³of the ⁴first-fruits ⁵of the ⁶holy things ¹shall not ²eat]. 13 And the daughter of a priest, if she becomes a widow or being cast out, and seed might not be in her, and she should return unto the house of her father, as in her youth; from the bread loaves of her father she shall eat. And all of another race shall not eat of them. 14 And a man who ever should eat holy things according to ignorance; then he shall add his fifth part unto it, and shall give to the priest the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the lord, 16 that they shall bring upon themselves lawlessness of the trespass in their eating their holy things; for I am the lord, the one sanctifying them. 17 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, The man, a man from the sons of Israel, or of the foreigners lying near them among Israel, who ever should offer his gifts according to every acknowledgment offering of theirs, or according to every choice offering of theirs, as much as they should offer to the lord for a whole burnt-offering, 19 what is acceptable unto you is [²male ¹an unblemished] of the herds, and of the sheep, and of the goats. 20 Of all as many as you have with a blemish among them you shall not bring to the lord, for [²not ⁴accepted ¹it shall ³be] for you. 21 And a man who ever should offer a sacrifice of deliverance to the lord, while setting apart a vow, or according to a choice offering, or in your holiday feasts, out of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be unblemished for acceptance. [³any ⁴blemish ¹There shall not ²be] upon it. 22 Blind, or broken, or with the tongue cut out, or troubled with warts, or chronic mange, or [²scabs ¹having] -- they shall not bring these to the lord; and for a yield offering you shall not give of them upon the altar to the lord. 23 And a calf or a sheep with mutilated ears, or tailless, [³for slaughter ¹you shall make ²them] to yourself, but for your vow it shall not be taken. 24 Crushed testicles, or being squeezed out, or emasculated, or drawn away -- you shall not bring them to the lord, even upon your land you shall not offer them. 25 And from out of the hand of a son of another race you shall not offer the gifts of your God of all these things. For there is corruption in them, a blemish in them; [²shall not ³be received ¹these] to you. 26 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 A calf, or a sheep, or a goat, when ever it is born, then it shall be seven days under its mother; but the [²day ¹eighth] and beyond it shall be accepted for gift offerings, a yield offering to the lord. 28 And a calf and a sheep -- it and its offspring you shall not slay in [²day ¹one]. 29 And if you should sacrifice a sacrifice vow of joyfulness to the lord, [³acceptable ⁴to you ¹you shall sacrifice ²it]; 30 in that day it shall be eaten; you shall not leave of the meats into the morning. I am the lord. 31 And you shall keep my commandments, and you shall observe them. I am the lord. 32 And you shall not profane [²name ¹my holy]; and I shall be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the lord, the one sanctifying you, 33 the one leading you from out of the land of Egypt, so as to be your God. I am the lord.
