Leviticus 22:2-33

Leviticus 22:2-33

[2] Speak  unto Aaron  and to his sons,  that they separate  themselves from the holy things  of the children  of Israel,  and that they profane  not my holy  name  in those things which they hallow  unto me: I am the LORD.  [3] Say  unto them, Whosoever  he be of all your seed  among your generations,  that goeth  unto the holy things,  which the children  of Israel  hallow  unto the LORD,  having his uncleanness  upon him, that soul  shall be cut off  from my presence:  I am the LORD.  [4] What man soever  of the seed  of Aaron  is a leper,  or hath a running issue;  he shall not eat  of the holy things,  until he be clean.  And whoso toucheth  any thing that is unclean  by the dead,  or a man  whose seed  goeth  [5] Or whosoever  toucheth  any creeping thing,  whereby he may be made unclean,  or a man  of whom he may take uncleanness,  whatsoever uncleanness  he hath; [6] The soul  which hath touched  any such shall be unclean  until even,  and shall not eat  of the holy things,  unless  he wash  his flesh  with water.  [7] And when the sun  is down,  he shall be clean,  and shall afterward  eat  of the holy things;  because it is his food.  [8] That which dieth of itself,  or is torn  with beasts, he shall not eat  to defile  himself therewith: I am the LORD.  [9] They shall therefore keep  mine ordinance,  lest they bear  sin  for it, and die  therefore, if they profane  it: I the LORD  do sanctify  them. [10] There shall no stranger  eat  of the holy thing:  a sojourner  of the priest,  or an hired servant,  shall not eat  of the holy thing.  [11] But if the priest  buy  any soul  with  his money,  he shall eat  of it, and he that is born  in his house:  they shall eat  of his meat.  [12] If the priest's  daughter  also be married unto a stranger,  she may not eat  of an offering  of the holy things.  [13] But if the priest's  daughter  be a widow,  or divorced,  and have no child,  and is returned  unto her father's  house,  as in her youth,  she shall eat  of her father's  meat:  but there shall no stranger  eat  thereof. [14] And if a man  eat  of the holy thing  unwittingly,  then he shall put  the fifth  part thereof unto it, and shall give  it unto the priest  with the holy thing.  [15] And they shall not profane  the holy things  of the children  of Israel,  which they offer  unto the LORD;  [16] Or suffer them to bear  the iniquity  of trespass,  when they eat  their holy things:  for I the LORD  do sanctify  them. [17] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [18] Speak  unto Aaron,  and to his sons,  of Israel,  and say  unto them, Whatsoever  he be of the house  of Israel,  or of the strangers  in Israel,  that will offer  his oblation  for all his vows,  and for all his freewill offerings,  which they will offer  unto the LORD  for a burnt offering;  [19] Ye shall offer at your own will  a male  without blemish,  of the beeves,  of the sheep,  or of the goats.  [20] But whatsoever hath a blemish,  that shall ye not offer:  for it shall not be acceptable  for you. [21] And whosoever  offereth  a sacrifice  of peace offerings  to accomplish  his vow,  or a freewill offering  in beeves  or sheep,  it shall be perfect  to be accepted;  there shall be no blemish  therein. [22] Blind,  or broken,  or maimed,  or having a wen,  or scurvy,  or scabbed,  ye shall not offer  these unto the LORD,  nor make  an offering by fire  of them upon the altar  unto the LORD.  [23] Either a bullock  or a lamb  that hath any thing superfluous  or lacking in his parts,  that mayest thou offer  for a freewill offering;  but for a vow  it shall not be accepted.  [24] Ye shall not offer  unto the LORD  that which is bruised,  or crushed,  or broken,  or cut;  neither shall ye make  any offering thereof in your land.  [25] Neither from a stranger's  hand  shall ye offer  the bread  of your God  of any of these; because their corruption  is in them, and blemishes  be in them: they shall not be accepted  for you. [26] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [27] When a bullock,  or a sheep,  or a goat,  is brought forth,  then it shall be seven  days  under the dam;  and from the eighth  day  and thenceforth  it shall be accepted  for an offering  made by fire  unto the LORD.  [28] And whether it be cow  or ewe,  ye shall not kill  it and her young  both in one  day.  [29] And when ye will offer  a sacrifice  of thanksgiving  unto the LORD,  offer  it at your own will.  [30] On the same day  it shall be eaten up;  ye shall leave  none of it until the morrow:  I am the LORD.  [31] Therefore shall ye keep  my commandments,  and do  them: I am the LORD.  [32] Neither shall ye profane  my holy  name;  but I will be hallowed  among  the children  of Israel:  I am the LORD  which hallow  [33] That brought you out  of the land  of Egypt,  to be your God:  I am the LORD.
