2	Say to Aaron and to his sons, that they may keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel and that they may not profane my holy name in those things which they hallow to me; 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.

And whosoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has an emission of semen,	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 whoever touches any creeping thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has,	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.

19	You shall offer acceptable ones, a male without blemish, of the herds or of the lambs or of 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.

21	And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering from oxen or from goats, it shall be perfect to be accepted; 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.

23	A bullock or a lamb which has the ear or the tail cut off you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.	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 that which is bruised, cut off, or broken; neither shall you make such offerings 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	Neither from a stranger's hand shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because they are corrupt and there is blemish in them; they shall not be accepted from you.	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	When a bullock or a lamb or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its dam; and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire 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.

29	And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall offer it in an acceptable manner.	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	On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until morning; 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	Therefore you shall keep 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	Neither shall you profane my holy name, which is holy among the children 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	Who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your 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.”
