2	“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.	“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	“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.	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	“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,	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 by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, 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.
6	the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in 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	When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.	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	He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.	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	“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh 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 stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.	“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 if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.	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 a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.	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 a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.	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	“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.	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	The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,	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	and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh 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	Yahweh 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 children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:	“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	that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, 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.
20	But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.	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	Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.	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	You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.	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	Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will 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 must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this 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	You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for 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	Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses,
27	“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.	“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 a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.	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	“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.	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	It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.	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 Yahweh.	“So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the LORD.	“Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD.
32	You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,	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 Yahweh.”	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.”
