22 (3) Say to them, Whoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that approaches the holy things, which the children of Yisra᾽el hallow to the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.

(4) What man soever of the seed of Aharon that is stricken with żara῾at, or has a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose semen goes from him;

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

(6) the person who 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 is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterwards eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

(8) That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.

(9) They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them.

(10) No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

(11) But if a priest buy any person with money, he may eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his bread.

(12) And if a priest’s daughter be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

(13) But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat of it.

(14) And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part thereof to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

(15) And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yisra᾽el, which they offer to the Lord;

(16) and so cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them.

(17) And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

(18) Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, Whatever he be of the house of Yisra᾽el, or of the strangers in Yisra᾽el, that will offer their sacrifice for all their vows, and for all their freewill offerings, which they will offer to the Lord for a burnt offering;

(19) you shall offer, that you may be accepted, a male without blemish, of the oxen, of the sheep, or of the goats.

(20) But whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

(21) And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in oxen or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; no blemish shall be in it.

(22) Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a growth, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the Lord.

(23) Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or too short, that mayst thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

(24) You shall not offer to the Lord that which has its testicles bruised or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you do thus in your land.

(25) Neither from a stranger’s hand shall you offer the bread of your God from any of these; because their corruption is in them, their blemish is in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

(26) And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

(27) When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under its dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the Lord.

(28) And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
