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.”

¹⁷ Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

¹⁸ “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned on the altar, either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,

¹⁹ it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.

²⁰ Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.

²¹ Similarly, when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects DOU or blemishes.

²² Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore DOU.

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.

¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and you shall say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide amongst them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatever they may bring to the Lord for whole burnt offerings—

¹⁹ your free will offerings shall be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ And whatever man shall offer a peace-offering to the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free will offering, or an offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.

²² One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters, they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall you° offer any of them for a burnt offering on the altar of the Lord.

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.’”

¹⁸ “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:

¹⁹ that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.

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.’”

¹⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:

¹⁹ that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

¹⁹ that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²² You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.

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.

¹⁷ And the Lord said to Moses,

¹⁸ Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;

¹⁹ So that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark, from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats.

²⁰ But anything which has a mark you may not give; it will not make you pleasing to the Lord.

²¹ And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.

²² Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.

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.

¹⁷ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that presenteth his offering for any of his vows, and for any of his voluntary offerings, which they present to Jehovah as a burnt-offering,

¹⁹ it shall be for your acceptance, without blemish, a male of the oxen, of the sheep, and of the goats.

²⁰ Nothing that hath a defect shall ye present; for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ And if any present a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or a voluntary offering of oxen or small cattle, it shall be without blemish to be accepted: there shall be no defect therein.

²² Blind, or broken, or maimed, or ulcerous, or with itch, or scabbed — ye shall not present these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Jehovah.

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.

¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁸ Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,

¹⁹ To be offered by you, it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ If it have a blemish you shall not offer it, neither shall it be acceptable.

²¹ The man that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable: there shall be no blemish in it.

²² If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord’s altar.

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.”

¹⁷ The Lord told Moses,

¹⁸ “Tell Aaron, his sons and all the Israelites: If you or foreigner living with you wants to make a gift as a burnt offering to the Lord, whether it's to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, this is what you are to do.

¹⁹ If it is to be accepted on your behalf you must offer a male without defects from the herds of cattle, sheep, or goats.

²⁰ Don't present anything with a defect because it won't be accepted on your behalf.

²¹ If you want to present a peace offering to the Lord from the herd or flock to fulfill a promise or as a freewill offering, in order to be acceptable the animal must be perfect, completely without defects.

²² Don't present to the Lord an animal that is blind, injured, or damaged in some way, or has warts, skin sores, or scabs. Don't place any animal that has these on the altar as a food offering to the Lord.

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.

¹⁷ And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vowes, and for all their free offrings, which they vse to offer vnto the Lord for a burnt offring,

¹⁹ Yee shall offer of your free minde a male without blemish of the beeues, of the sheepe, or of the goates.

²⁰ Ye shall not offer any thing that hath a blemish: for that shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹ And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offring vnto ye Lord to accomplish his vowe, or for a free offring, of the beeues, or of the sheepe, his free offring shall bee perfect, no blemish shalbe in it.

²² Blinde, or broken, or maimed, or hauing a wenne, or skiruie, or skabbed: these shall yee not offer vnto the Lord nor make an offring by fire of these vpon the altar of the Lord.

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.

¹⁷ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

¹⁸ Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that bringeth his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto the LORD for a burnt-offering;

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.

¹⁷ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, If there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offereth his oblation, be it for any manner of vows, or for any manner of freewill-offerings, which they may offer unto the Lord for a burnt-offering:

¹⁹ Then shall it be, that it may be favorably received for you, a male without blemish, of the oxen, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ Whatsoever on which there is a blemish shall ye not offer; for it will not be favorably received for you.

²¹ And when a man offereth a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord as a vow, or a freewill-offering of the herds or of the flocks: it shall be without blemish to be favorably received; no kind of bodily defect shall be thereon.

²² A blind, or broken-limbed, or maimed animal, or one having a wen, or itch, or scurvy,—ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, and a fire-offering shall ye not make of them upon the altar unto the Lord.

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.

¹⁷ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatsoever they may bring to the Lord for whole burnt offerings—

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.’”

¹⁷ The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:

¹⁹ that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰ But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

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.

¹⁷ The Lord spake to Moses, and said,

¹⁸ Speak thou to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, A man of the house of Israel, and of the comelings that dwell with them, that offereth his offering to the Lord, and either payeth avows or vows, either offereth by his free will, whatever thing he offereth into burnt sacrifice of the Lord,

¹⁹ that it be offered by you, it shall be a male without wem, of oxen, and of sheep, and of goats;

²⁰ if it hath a wem, ye shall not offer it, neither it shall be acceptable.

²² If it is blind, if it is broken, if it hath a wound or a scar, if it hath whelks, either scab, either dry scab, ye shall not offer those beasts to the Lord, neither ye shall burn of those beasts upon the altar of 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.

¹⁷ The Lord spake to Moses, and said,

¹⁵ and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel — that which they lift up to Jehovah,

¹⁶ nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

¹⁷ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

¹⁹ at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

²⁰ nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

²¹ 'And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;

²² blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed — ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.
