[1]ANDthe LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
[2]Sayto 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,
[3]Sayto them, Whosoever he be of all your descendants throughout your generations who approaches to the holy things which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from my presence; I am the LORD.
[4]Anyman of the descendants of Aaron who is a leper or has a discharge, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whosoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has an emission of semen,
[5]Orwhoever touches any creeping thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has,
[6]Anyperson who touches him shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.
[7]Andwhen the sun is down, he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his food.
[8]Thatwhich has been torn by wild beasts, he shall not eat that he may not defile himself by it; I am the LORD.
[9]Theyshall therefore keep my ordinances, lest they bear sins for it and die because of them, if they had profaned themselves; I am the LORD who sanctifies them
[10]Thereshall no alien eat of the holy things; a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
[11]Butif a priest buys any person with his money, he shall eat of his food, and those that are born in his house shall eat of his food.
[12]Ifa priest's daughter is married to a stranger, she also may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
[13]Butif a priest's daughter has become a widow or is divorced, and has no children, and shall return to her father's house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's food; but no stranger shall ever eat of it.
[14]Andif a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add a fifth part thereof to it and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.
[15]Andthe children of Israel shall not profane the holy things which they offer to the LORD;
[16]Andthus shall suffer for the iniquity and sins, when they eat of their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them
[17]Andthe LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
[18]Speakto Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Any one of the house of Israel and of the proselytes who dwell in Israel that will offer his offering for all their vows and for all their freewill offerings which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering,
[19]Youshall offer acceptable ones, a male without blemish, of the herds or of the lambs or of the goats.
[20]Butwhatsoever has a blemish, that you shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
[21]Andwhosoever 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.
[22]Anyblind animal or broken or scabbed or maimed or scurvy, you shall not offer to the LORD nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the LORD.
[23]Abullock 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.
[24]Youshall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, cut off, or broken; neither shall you make such offerings in your land.
[25]Neitherfrom 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.
[26]Andthe LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
[27]Whena 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.
[28]Andwhether it be a cow or a sheep, you shall not slaughter it and its young both in one day.
[29]Andwhen you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall offer it in an acceptable manner.
[30]Onthe same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until morning; I am the LORD.
[31]Thereforeyou shall keep my commandments and do them; I am the LORD.
[32]Neithershall you profane my holy name, which is holy among the children of Israel; I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
[33]Whobrought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD
