And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off frommy presence:
I
am
the L
ORD
.
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 from him;
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 L
ORD
.
9
They shall therefore
keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
;
16
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of
trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the L
ORD
do sanctify them.
17
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
18
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all
the children 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 L
ORD
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 unto the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, nor make an offering
by fire of them upon the altar unto the L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
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
