1	The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses,
2	Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.	“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 and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.	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	The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,	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	and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,	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	shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with 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.	The one who touches any such thing will be unclean till evening. He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
7	and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.	When the sun goes down he shall be clean, and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because they are his food.	When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
8	Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.	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	Let them observe my precepts, so that they may not fall under sin, and die in the Sanctuary, when they will have defiled it. I am the Lord, who sanctifies 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.
10	No foreigner shall eat from what has been sanctified; a guest of the priests and a hired servant shall not eat from them.	“A lay person shall not eat of a holy thing; no foreign guest of the priest or hired worker shall eat of a holy thing,	“’No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired worker eat it.
11	But whomever the priest has bought, and whoever has been born into his house, these shall eat from them.	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	If the daughter of a priest has been married to any of the people, she shall not eat from what has been sanctified, nor from the first-fruits.	If a priest’s daughter marries a layman, she shall not eat of the contribution of the holy things.	If a priest’s daughter marries anyone other than a priest, she may not eat any of the sacred contributions.
13	But if she is a widow or divorced, and, being without children, she returns to her father’s house, she shall be nourished by her father’s foods, just as she was accustomed to do as a girl. No foreigner shall have the authority to eat from them.	But if a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and has no child and returns to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food; yet no lay person shall eat of it.	But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or is divorced, yet has no children, and she returns to live in her father’s household as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food. No unauthorized person, however, may eat it.
14	Whoever, through ignorance, eats from what has been sanctified shall add a fifth part to that which he ate, and he shall give it to the priest at the Sanctuary.	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.
15	And they shall not contaminate what has been sanctified from the sons of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,	They shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, which they contribute to the LORD,	The priests must not desecrate the sacred offerings the Israelites present to the LORD
16	lest perhaps they may suffer the iniquity of their offense, when they will have eaten what has been sanctified. I am the Lord, who sanctifies 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.’”
17	And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses,
18	Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man from the house of Israel, or from the newcomers who live with you, who would bring forward his oblation, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whatever he brings forward as a holocaust for the Lord,	“Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the LORD,	“Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘If any of you—whether an Israelite or a foreigner residing in Israel—presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, either to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
19	in order to be offered through you, shall offer an immaculate male from the oxen, or from the sheep, or from the goats.	if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats.	you must present a male without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf.
20	If it has a blemish, you shall not offer it, and it shall not be acceptable.	You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.	Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
21	The man who will have offered a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either fulfilling his vows or offering spontaneously, whether of oxen, or of sheep, shall offer what is immaculate, so that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.	And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it.	When anyone brings from the herd or flock a fellowship offering to the LORD to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without defect or blemish to be acceptable.
22	If it is blind, or if it is broken, or if it has a scar, or if it is has a boil, or a skin disease or infection, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor shall you burn any of these upon the altar of the Lord.	Animals blind or disabled or mutilated or having a discharge or an itch or scabs you shall not offer to the LORD or give them to the LORD as a food offering on the altar.	Do not offer to the LORD the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the LORD.
23	An ox or a sheep, having an amputated ear or tail, you are able to offer voluntarily, but a vow is not able to be fulfilled by these.	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	You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.	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	From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.	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.’”
26	And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses,
27	An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.	“When an ox or sheep or goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as a food offering to the LORD.	“When a calf, a lamb or a goat is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a food offering presented to the LORD.
28	Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.	But you shall not kill an ox or a sheep and her young in one day.	Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.
29	If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,	And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.	“When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
30	you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.	It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until morning: I am the LORD.	It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am the LORD.
31	Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.	“So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the LORD.	“Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD.
32	Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,	And you shall not profane my holy name, that I may be sanctified among the people of Israel. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,	Do not profane my holy name, for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who made you holy
33	and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.	who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the LORD.”	and who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”
