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.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;

¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD which sanctify them.

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.

¹³ But if a priest's daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father's house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.

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.

¹⁵ When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred

¹⁶ by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”

¹¹ But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread.

¹⁴ And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.

¹⁶ So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.

¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

¹³ But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.

¹⁴ “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵ The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,

¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.

¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

¹⁴ “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵ The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,

¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.

¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

¹³ But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.

¹⁴ “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵ The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,

¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

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.

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.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer unto Jehovah,

¹⁶ and cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass when they eat their holy things; for I am Jehovah who do hallow 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.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:

¹⁶ Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.

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.

¹⁴ Anyone who eats a holy offering by mistake must pay compensation by adding a fifth to its value, and give it all to the priest.

¹⁵ The priests must not make the holy offerings the Israelites present to the Lord unclean

¹⁶ by allowing the people to eat them and in so doing take upon themselves the punishment for guilt. For I am the Lord who makes them holy.”

¹¹ But if the Priest bye any with money, he shall eate of it, also he that is borne in his house: they shall eate of his meate.

¹² If the Priests daughter also be maried vnto a stranger, she may not eate of the holy offrings.

¹³ Notwithstanding if the Priests daughter be a widowe or diuorced, and haue no childe, but is returned vnto her fathers house shee shall eate of her fathers bread, as she did in her youth but there shall no stranger eate thereof.

¹⁴ If a man eate of the holie thing vnwittingly, he shall put the fift part thereunto, and giue it vnto the Priest with the halowed thing.

¹⁵ So they shall not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer vnto the Lord,

¹⁶ Neither cause the people to beare the iniquitie of their trespas, while they eate their holy thing: for I the Lord do halowe them.

¹¹ But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he may eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they may eat of his bread.

¹² And if a priest's daughter be married unto a common man, she shall not eat of that which is set apart from the holy things.

¹³ But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread; but there shall no common man eat thereof.

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

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they set apart unto the LORD;

¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctify them.

¹¹ But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.

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

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;

¹⁶ or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them.

¹¹ But if a priest buy a person with his money, then may he eat of it; and those that are born in his house, may eat of his bread.

¹² And if the daughter of a priest be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the offered part of holy things.

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

¹⁴ And if a man eat a holy thing unwittingly, then shall he add the fifth part thereof unto it, and he shall make good unto the priest the holy thing.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;

¹⁶ And load on themselves the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things; for I am the Lord who sanctify them.

¹¹ But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread.

¹² And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the sanctuary.

¹³ And if the daughter of a priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return 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 the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵ And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.

¹⁶ So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

¹¹ But if the priest buy a person with a purchase of his money, he may eat of it, and he who hath been born in his house, they may eat of his bread.

¹² And the daughter of a priest, if she be married to a stranger, may not eat of things set apart and hallowed.

¹³ But if the priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and, having, no child, hath returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s meat; but no stranger shall eat thereof.

¹⁴ And if a man eat some consecrated thing through ignorance, he shall add a fifth unto it, and give the consecrated thing unto the priest.

¹⁵ And let them not profane the hallowed things of the children of Israel which are set apart before the Lord,

¹⁶ nor bring upon themselves iniquities and sins, when they eat in uncleanness the things that are holy. I am the Lord, who sanctify them.

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

¹³ But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has teshuvah ·completely returned· to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.

¹⁴ “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵ The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel God prevails, which they offer to Adonai ,

¹⁶ and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh M'Kaddesham Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes them holy.’” (3)

¹¹ But if a priest buys any slave with his own money, that slave may eat from the things set apart to Yahweh. The priest's family members and slaves born in his house, they also may eat with him from those things.

¹² If a priest's daughter married someone who is not a priest, she may not eat any of the holy contribution offerings.

¹³ But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and if she has no child, and if she returns to live in her father's house as in her youth, she may eat from her father's food. But no one who is not in the priestly family may eat from the priest's food.

¹⁴ If a man eats a holy food without knowing it, then he must repay the priest for it; he must add one-fifth to it and give it back to the priest.

¹⁵ The people of Israel must not profane the holy things that they have raised high and presented to Yahweh,

¹⁶ and cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty of eating the holy food, for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'”

¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.

¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy 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.

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;

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; each alien hath not power to eat of those things.

¹⁴ He that eateth by ignorance of hallowed things, shall add to the fifth part with that that he ate, and he shall give it to the priest in the saintuary,

¹⁵ and they shall not defoul the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,

¹⁶ lest peradventure they suffer the wickedness of their trespass, when they have eaten the hallowed things; I am the Lord that hallow them.
