Leviticus 22:6-32

⁶The man who toucheth him shall be unclean until the evening, and may not eat of things consecrated unless he wash his flesh with water.

⁷But when the sun hath gone down, and he shall have purified himself, he may afterward eat of the hallowed things, for it is his food.

⁸A carcase which hath been torn he may not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord.

⁹But let them keep the keeping of My word, lest they bring guilt upon themselves, and die for it, because they have profaned it, I am the Lord who sanctify them.

¹⁰No stranger shall eat of that which is consecrated, neither a sojourner with a priest, or a hireling, may eat of the consecrated thing.

¹¹But 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.

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

¹³But 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.

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

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

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

¹⁷And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

¹⁸Speak with Aharon, and with his sons, and with all the children of Israel, and say to them: When any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, will offer the oblation of any of their vows or any of their free-will oblations which they may offer before the Lord for a burnt sacrifice;

¹⁹That it may be acceptable from you, (let it be) a male without blemish, of the bullocks, or of the lambs, or of the goats.

²⁰But whatever hath a blemish in it you shall not offer, for it will not be acceptable for you.

²¹And if a man present a consecrated victim before the Lord, as a vow set apart, or a free-will offering of the herd or of the flock, it must be perfect, to be acceptable; there shall be no blemish in it.

²²Blind, or broken, or mutilated, or having imposthumes, or ulcers, or blotches, these you shall not offer before the Lord, nor of them present an oblation upon the altar before the Lord.

²³But a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or deficient you may make a free-will offering, but for a vow it will not be acceptable.

²⁴And that which is crushed, or rent, or worn out, or emasculated, you shall not offer before the Lord, nor do it in your land.

²⁵Nor from (the hand of) a son of the Gentiles may you offer an oblation to your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, a blemish is in them; they will not be acceptable for you.

²⁶And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

²⁷When a bullock, or lamb, or goat, is brought forth, it shall be seven days with its dam, and on the eighth day and thenceforward it will be acceptable to be offered as an oblation before the Lord.

²⁸Whether it be a cow or ewe, ye shall not immolate (both) her and her offspring on one day.

²⁹And when you present a thank-offering before the Lord, offer it so as to be acceptable for you.

³⁰It is to be eaten on that day, nothing shall remain of it till the morning. I am the Lord.

³¹And you shall observe My commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.

³²Nor shall you profane My holy Name, for I will be hallowed among the sons of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you,
