1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I am Jehovah. “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 unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him -- even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I am Jehovah. 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 is leprous or hath an issue -- of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, 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 cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness -- 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 who cometh against it -- hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed 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 hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for 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 a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I am Jehovah. 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 have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I am Jehovah 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.
10 'And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth 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 and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do 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 'And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, -- she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat; 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 and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat 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 And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given 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.
15 and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel -- that which they lift up to Jehovah, 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 nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I am Jehovah, 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.’”
17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
18 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah 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 at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, 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 nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing 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 'And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is 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 blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed -- ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah. 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 'As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed -- a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing. 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 As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing -- ye do not bring it near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do 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 from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption is in them; blemish is in them; they are not pleasing 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 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
27 'When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah; “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 but an ox or sheep -- it and its young one, ye do not slaughter 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 'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice, 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 that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I am Jehovah; 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 and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I am Jehovah; “So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the LORD. “Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD.
32 and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I am Jehovah, sanctifying 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 am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I am Jehovah.' 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.”
