2	“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and they shall be separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, lest they profane My holy name that they dedicate to Me. I am YHWH.	“Speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name: I am the LORD.	“Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings the Israelites consecrate to me, so they will not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
3	Say to them throughout your⁺ generations: Any man of all your⁺ seed who goes near the holy things that the sons of Israel dedicate to YHWH, and his uncleanness is upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence. I am YHWH.	Say to them, ‘If any one of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.	“Say to them: ‘For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD.
4	Any man of the seed of Aaron and who is a leper or has a discharge—the holy offerings he shall not eat until that he is clean; and whoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse or a man from whom a laying of seed goes out,	None of the offspring of Aaron who has a leprous disease or a discharge may eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has had an emission of semen,	“’If a descendant of Aaron has a defiling skin disease or a bodily discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is cleansed. He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse or by anyone who has an emission of semen,
5	or a man who touches any swarming thing that is unclean to him or any person who is unclean to him, whatever his uncleanness may be,	and whoever touches a swarming thing by which he may be made unclean or a person from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever his uncleanness may be—	or if he touches any crawling thing that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be.
6	then the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat of the holy things, unless if he bathes his flesh with the water.	the person who touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.

8	A carcass or torn thing he shall not eat, to defile himself with it. I am YHWH.	He shall not eat what dies of itself or is torn by beasts, and so make himself unclean by it: I am the LORD.’	He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, and so become unclean through it. I am the LORD.
9	And they shall keep My ordinance and bear no sin for it that they die in it because they profane it. I am YHWH, sanctifying them.	They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby when they profane it: I am the LORD who sanctifies them.	“’The priests are to perform my service in such a way that they do not become guilty and die for treating it with contempt. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.

And one who is born in his house, they may eat his food.	but if a priest buys a slave as his property for money, the slave may eat of it, and anyone born in his house may eat of his food.	But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if slaves are born in his household, they may eat his food.
12	And the daughter of a priest, if she is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy contributions.

No unauthorized person, however, may eat it.
14	And if a man eats the holy thing in error, then he shall add a fifth to it and he shall restore it to the priest with the holy thing.	And if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally, he shall add the fifth of its value to it and give the holy thing to the priest.	“’Anyone who eats a sacred offering by mistake must make restitution to the priest for the offering and add a fifth of the value to it.

16	or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy things. For I am YHWH, sanctifying them.”	and so cause them to bear iniquity and guilt, by eating their holy things: for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”	by allowing them to eat the sacred offerings and so bring upon them guilt requiring payment. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.’”

You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering it cannot be accepted.	You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, but it will not be accepted in fulfillment of a vow.
24	And what is bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut you⁺ shall not offer to YHWH. And in your⁺ land you⁺ shall not do it.	Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut you shall not offer to the LORD; you shall not do it within your land,	You must not offer to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut. You must not do this in your own land,
25	And you⁺ shall not offer as the bread of your⁺ God from the hand of a son of a foreigner, from any of these, because their corruption is in them and defects are in them; they shall not be accepted on your⁺ behalf.’”	neither shall you offer as the bread of your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner. Since there is a blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted for you.”	and you must not accept such animals from the hand of a foreigner and offer them as the food of your God. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and have defects.’”
