Leviticus 22:5-23

⁵or 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,

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

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

⁹And 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.

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

¹¹But 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.

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

¹³But 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.

¹⁴And 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.

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

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

¹⁷And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸Speak 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,

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

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

²¹And 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.

²²Blind, 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.

²³A bullock and a sheep that hath a member too long or too short, that mayest thou offer as a voluntary offering; but as a vow it shall not be accepted.
