1 The LORD spoke to Moses, 2 |Tell Aaron and his sons that they must respect the holy offerings which the Israelites set apart for me. In this way they will not dishonor my holy name. I am the LORD. 3 |Tell them: In future generations if any of your descendants, while unclean, comes near the holy offerings the Israelites set apart for the LORD, that person must be excluded from my presence. I am the LORD. 4 |No descendant of Aaron who has a skin disease or a discharge may eat any of the holy offerings until he is clean. Any person who has an emission of semen or touches a dead body, 5 an unclean swarming creature, or an unclean person 6 will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy offerings unless he has washed himself. Leviticus 22:1-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
