Leviticus 22:1-21 ▼

1 And the LORDE talked with Moses, & sayde:

2 Speake vnto Aaron, & his sonnes, yt they absteyne from ye halowed thinges of the childre of Israel, which they haue halowed vnto me, & yt they vnhalowe not my holy name: for I am ye LORDE.

3 Saie now vnto them & their posterities: Who so euer he be of yor sede, yt commeth nye vnto the holy thinges, which the childre of Israel halowe vnto the LORDE, & so defyleth him self vpon the same, his soule shal perishe before my face: for I am the LORDE.

4 Who so euer of the sede of Aaron is a leper, or hath a runnynge yssue, shall not eate of the holy thinges, tyll he be clensed. Who so toucheth eny vncleane thinge, or whose sede departeth from him by night,

5 or who so toucheth eny worme that is vncleane vnto him, or a ma yt is vncleane vnto him,

6 & what so euer defyleth hi, loke what soule toucheth eny soch, is vncleane vntyll the euen, & shall not eate of the holy thinges, but shall first bath his flesh with water.

7 And wha ye Sonne is gone downe, and he cleane, then maye he eate therof, for it is his foode.

8 Loke what dyeth alone, or is rent of wylde beestes, shall he not eate, yt he be not vncleane theron: for I am ye LORDE.

9 Therfore shal they kepe my lawe, yt they lade not synne vpon them, & dye therin, whan they vnhalowe them selues in it. For I am ye LORDE, yt halowe them.

10 A straunger shal not eate of the holy thinges, ner an housholde gest of the prestes, ner an hyred seruaut.

11 But yf ye prest bye a soule for his money, ye same maye eate therof. And loke who is borne in his house, maye eate of his bred also.

12 Neuertheles yf the prestes doughter be a straungers wife, she shal not eate of the Heueofferinges of holynes.

13 But yf she be a wedowe, or deuorced, or haue no sede, & commeth agayne to hir fathers house as a fore (whan she was yet a mayden in hir fathers house) then shall she eate of hir fathers bred. But no strauger shal eate therof.

14 Who so els eateth of the halowed thynges, vnwyttingly, shal put ye fifth parte there vnto, and geue it vnto the prest with the halowed thinge,

15 that they vnhalowe not ye halowed thinges of the children of Israel, which they Heue vp vnto the LORDE,

16 lest they lade them selues with mysdoinge and trespace, wha they eate their halowed thynges, for I am ye LORDE which halowe the.

17 And ye LORDE talked wt Moses, & saide:

18 Speake vnto Aaron & his sonnes, & to all ye childre of Israel: What so euer Israelite or straunger in Israel wyll do his offerynge, whether it be their vowe, or of fre wyl, that they wyll offre a burntofferynge vnto the LORDE,

19 to reconcyle them selues, it shal be a male, and without blemysh, of the oxen, or lambes or goates.

20 What so euer hath eny blemish, shal they not offre, for they shal fynde no fauoure therwith.

21 And who so wyl offre an health offeringe vnto the LORDE to separate out a vowe, or of fre wyl, oxen or shepe, it shalbe without blemysh, yt it maye be accepted. It shal haue no deformite.
