Leviticus 22:1-14 in English

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.

³ Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.

⁴ What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

⁵ or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

⁶ the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

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

⁸ That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah.

⁹ They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁰ There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

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

¹⁴ And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.

⁵ or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or who shall touch a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness:

⁷ and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.

¹ Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

³ Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, am commanding this.

⁴ If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,

⁵ or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.

⁶ Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.

⁷ After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.

⁸ He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh am commanding those things.

⁹ The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of ◄despising/not obeying► them.

¹⁰ Anyone who is not a member of a priest's family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.

¹² If a priest's daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.

¹⁴ If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.

⁷ and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.

⁸ He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I am the Lord.

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

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

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

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.

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

² Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in the things that they hallow unto me: I am Jehovah.

³ Say unto them, Every one of all your seed, throughout your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.

⁴ Whatsoever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a flux, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And he that toucheth any one that is unclean by a dead person, or a man whose seed of copulation hath passed from him;

⁵ or a man that toucheth any crawling thing whereby he becometh unclean, or a man by whom he may become unclean, whatever may be his uncleanness,

⁶ — a person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things; but he shall bathe his flesh with water,

⁷ and when the sun goeth down, he shall be clean, and may afterwards eat of the holy things; for it is his food.

⁸ Of a dead carcase and what is torn shall he not eat, to make himself unclean therewith: I am Jehovah.

⁹ And they shall keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die by it, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

¹⁰ And no stranger shall eat the holy thing; the sojourner with the priest, and the hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

¹¹ But if a priest buy any one for money, he may eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they may eat of his food.

¹² And a priest's daughter who is married to a stranger may not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.

¹³ But a priest's daughter that becometh a widow, or is divorced, and hath no seed, and returneth unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food; but no stranger shall eat thereof.

¹⁴ And if a man eat of a holy thing through inadvertence, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

² Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel, and defile not the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.

³ Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.

⁴ The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead, and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation,

⁵ And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling,

⁶ Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified: but when he hath washed his flesh with water,

⁷ And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.

⁸ That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith, I am the Lord.

⁹ Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.

¹⁰ No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.

¹¹ But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.

¹² If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified, nor of the firstfruits.

¹³ But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father’s house, she shall eat of her father’s meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid, no stranger hath leave to eat of them.

¹⁴ He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.

¹ The Lord told Moses,

² “Tell Aaron and his sons to be dedicated when dealing with the holy offerings that the Israelites have dedicated to me, so that they don't dishonor my holy character. I am the Lord.

³ Tell them: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants in an unclean state comes close to the holy offerings that the Israelites dedicate to honor the Lord, that person must be expelled from my presence. I am the Lord.

⁴ If one of Aaron's descendants has a skin disease or a discharge, he is not allowed to eat the holy offerings until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body or by a man who has had a release of semen,

⁵ or anyone who touches an unclean animal or an unclean person, (whatever the uncleanness is),

⁶ anyone who touches anything like this will remain unclean until evening. He is not allowed to eat from the holy offerings unless he has washed himself with water.

⁷ At sunset he will become clean, and then he is allowed to eat from the holy offerings because they provide his food.

⁸ He must not eat anything that's died, or killed by wild animals, because that would make him unclean. I am the Lord.

⁹ The priests must do as I demand, so that they don't become guilty and die because they have not done so, treating my requirements with contempt. I am the Lord who makes them holy.

¹⁰ Anyone who isn't part of a priest's family is not allowed eat the holy offerings. This also applies to a priest's guest or his paid worker.

¹¹ However, if a priest uses his own money to buy a slave, or if a slave is born in the priest's household, then that slave is allowed to eat his food.

¹² If the priest's daughter gets married to a man who isn't a priest, she is not allowed to eat the holy offerings.

¹³ But if a priest's daughter without children is widowed or divorced and goes back to her father's house, she is allowed to eat her father's food as she did when she was growing up. But no one outside the priest's family can eat it.

⁸ He shall not eat a thing dead by itself, and taken of a beast, neither he shall be defouled in those things; I am the Lord. (He shall not eat anything that dieth naturally, or that is killed by a beast, so that he be not defiled with those things; I am the Lord.)

⁹ They shall keep my behests, that they be not subject to sin, and die in the saintuary, when they have defouled it; I am the Lord that hallow(eth) you. (They shall obey my commands, so that they be not subject to sin, and then die in the sanctuary, when they have defiled it; I am the Lord who maketh you holy.)

¹⁰ Each alien shall not eat of things hallowed; the hind that is a stranger, and the hired man of the priest, shall not eat of those things. (No one not of the priestly family shall eat any of the dedicated things; yea, even a visitor to the priest, or his hired man, shall not eat those things.)

¹¹ Soothly these servants, that the priest hath bought, and he that is a born servant of his house, shall eat of those things. (But those slaves, whom the priest hath bought, or he who is a slave born in his house, can eat those things.)

¹² If the priest’s daughter is wedded to any man of the people, she shall not eat of these things that be hallowed, and of the first fruits (or of the first fruits);

¹³ soothly if she is a widow, either forsaken, and turneth again without free children to her father’s house, she shall be sustained by the meats of her father, as a damsel was wont (to be); each alien hath not power to eat of those things. (but if she is a widow, or forsaken, and returneth to her father’s house without any children, she shall be sustained by her father’s food, as any young woman is wont to be; but no foreigner, or stranger, can eat those things.)

¹⁴ He that eateth by ignorance of hallowed things, shall add to (it) the fifth part with that that he ate, and he shall give it to the priest in the saintuary, (He who eateth any of the dedicated things in ignorance, shall add the fifth part to what he ate, and he shall give it to the priest in the sanctuary,)

¹ And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Speke thou to Aaron and to hise sones,

² that thei be war of these thingis of the sones of Israel, whiche thingis ben halewid; and that they defoule not the name of thingis halewid to me, whiche thingis thei offren; Y am the Lord.

³ Seie thou to hem, and to the aftir comeris of hem, Ech man of youre kynrede, `which man neiyeth to tho thingis that ben halewid, and whiche thingis the sones of Israel offreden to the Lord, in `which man is vnclennesse, schal perische bifor the Lord; Y am the Lord.

⁵ and what euer vncleene thing, whos touchyng is foul,

⁶ schal be vncleene `til to euentid, and he schal not ete these thingis, that ben halewid to me; but whanne he hath waische his fleisch in watir,

⁷ and the sunne hath go doun, thanne he schal be clensid, and schal ete halewid thingis, for it is his mete.

⁸ He schal not ete a thing deed bi it silf, and takun of a beeste, nethir he schal be defoulid in tho; Y am the Lord.

⁹ Thei schulen kepe myn heestis, that thei be not suget to synne, and die in the seyntuarye, whanne thei han defoulid it; Y am the Lord that halewe you.

¹⁰ Ech alien schal not ete of thingis halewid; the hyne which is a straunger, and the hirid man of the preest, schulen not ete of tho. Sotheli these seruauntis,

¹¹ whom the preest hath bouyt, and which is a borun seruaunt of his hows, schulen ete of tho.

¹² If the `douyter of the preest is weddid to ony of the puple, sche schal not ete of these thingis that ben halewid, and of the firste fruytis;

¹³ sotheli if sche is a widewe, ether forsakun, and turneth ayen with out fre children to `the hows of hir fadir, sche schal be susteyned bi the metis of hir fadir, as a damysel was wont; ech alien hath not power to ete of tho.

¹⁴ He that etith bi ignoraunce of halewid thingis, schal adde the fyuethe part with that that he eet, and `schal yyue to the preest in seyntuarie,

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I am Jehovah.

³ 'Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him — even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I am Jehovah.

⁴ 'Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue — of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,

⁵ or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness —

⁶ the person who cometh against it — hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,

⁷ and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it is his food;

⁸ a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I am Jehovah.

⁹ 'And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I am Jehovah sanctifying them.

¹⁰ 'And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;

¹¹ and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.

¹² 'And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, — she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;

¹³ and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.

¹⁴ 'And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given it to the priest, with the holy thing;
